STRAY KIDS: Felix Australia Vlog | SKZ Hidden Talents | 2 Kids Room + 1 [Ep. 4 & 5]

[@kenziedefricke]

felix’s vlog literally made me SO emotional i was so happy he was finally with his family and seeing how excited his sister was just was so precious 😢 he’s the sweetest i swear

[@melaniereacts]

He is 🥹

[@myskz325]

felix’s mom posts a lot about them on her insta, just in case you’re curious! beautiful family 🥺 it’s no wonder lixie is so loving his whole family seems to be like that 🥺

[@aberefejiro]

Yeah such a beautiful family 🥺 I love Felix and Chans mother's posts

[@melaniereacts]

So cute 🥹

[@janaghamirzaee]

Felix mom has insteram what is the name 😅

[@xoxo_diya]

@@janaghamirzaee it’s called @henilini

[@janaghamirzaee]

@@xoxo_diya ok thank you

[@ruh801]

Cuz at that time, there's still a language barrier for Felix. So Felix can't express he's emotion, and can't talk much with the members other than Chan. So he wanted to express he's gratefulness towards the members by giving them gifts. Felix and Seungmin are the bestfriend 😊

[@shaomongoloid]

Sometimes all it takes to make a new home for yourself, even in the most foreign of lands, is to find someone who can make anywhere feel like home. Felix talks about how his members feel like family, and that's probably true, but I have a feeling one of them in particular is most responsible for making Korea feel like home to him. Felix is very lucky to have that because I don't think most foreign-born idols ever settle into Korea completely.

[@melaniereacts]

Fine then. Make me cry 😭😭😭😭

[@shaomongoloid]

@@melaniereacts Haha, sorry! Love your videos, btw. Your commentary is always funny and thoughtful. Definitely made me happy that you, like me, felt reassured Felix was almost feeling reluctant to leave Seoul for Sydney, especially given how warm his family is. These kids sacrifice a lot to entertain us, but it seems maybe sweet little Felix isn't quite sacrificing as much as we feared. There's more keeping him in Korea than fame and an unforgiving contract. Much more.

[@Mayra9148]

one in particular? are u talking about bang chan?

[@seochangbinsarms]

6:50 yes there are actually! On his moms Instagram account she posted pics of when felix was in australia when they went to go get food with Rachel and Olivia

[@be5646]

When Bangchan said in the 2kidsroom with Seungmin that sometimes when they are all together he feels lonely, that is a big sign for me that he needs someone, support, affection. He does everything for his members and its clear that for him they're the priority, and he want to be dependable, but... he is a human, he needs the same things as them, and even if he acts like its not, i think that he would be greatful if someone gave him all of this. I want the best for him, i want him to be supported, loved, and helped when he needs it. He deserves the best, really. (and i'm not saying that the members dont treat him well or dont want to give him all of this, they truely love him, i just think he is stuck in a role, like a big brother who doesnt want attention etc, and the others are used to this and respect his choice. But its just my though, as you said they know each other and the situation better than us)

[@LainieKreyvitz]

Seeing them when they were younger is really cute. They were so cute towards each other, especially the hyungs. They seem unsure of each other feelings so the conversation seems slightly more superficial than it is in the newer episodes, but the dynamic is the same 🙂 also Changbin already had great insights and questions (🤞🤞 that you get the mouse pad for Christmas)

[@melaniereacts]

Yes exactly!!! It’s so cute to go back and watch and see how they were with each other 🥰

[@imene001]

chan seeing hate comments never really bothered me bc ik he is strong mentally, but lately it's been way too much and for insignificant things as well, hearing him say he "expected" to get attacked broke me to pieces. i just pray he has someone bc he definitely looks exhausted even if he tries to mask it with the laughter

[@MissYellowCat]

Seungmin and felix are very close, they refer to eachother as best friend. It's just I think felix may have saw chan as an older brother/leader and felt that it was harder to "take care" of him, which is kind of what younger Chan was going for but it backfired a little bit. Chan didn't even show that much agyeo to felix as much as he did with the other memebers. They have a 1 kids room series that I getting most of this info from and highly suggest it specifically felix and chan's episode will give you a look at kind of how felix behaved towards the rest of the members vs chan and vise versa. I use past tense because they have solved this misunderstanding, since both this ep and the one kids room series. One of felix's presents is a chain bracelet chan confirms he never takes off, a lot of stays didn't even know it came from felix for years.

[@captaintuchy1612]

I appreciate so much what you said so perfectly explained what lot of us think about Chris. With him being my ult bias and a very important pilar in my life, these past days have been extraordinary awful to deal with. In today's Chan's Room the story has been repeated again with him reading aloud a comment saying "your rap at MAMA was so cringey". Him giving a full speech and laughing at himself to justify his part on the rap it's been painful as hell. I feel like him reassuring those comments (as he did with his infamous vulnerable moment at the 1st of May concert) while laughing at himself is nothing but a shield. It may be an effective method to evade those hateful comments but he really DOESN'T HAVE TO think like that about himself just because some people have empty hearts.

[@marshmallowowl7033]

All your thoughts about Chanie made me cry. I really want all the best for him😢 Felix’s vlog is literally sunshine vlog,you just smile all the time😊

[@melaniereacts]

Me too ❤️❤️❤️

[@reiantoinette]

yay!! I’ve been waiting for mel’s reaction to felix’s vlog in australia bc as I’ve watched it multiple times, I can really see and feel how lixie grew up with such a loving family

[@ma-zt7nn]

felixs vlog was so warm & comforting just like him! i am glad that he and chan will be going back next year, they both seemed so happy. & with chan man i have a lot to say especially since literally the chans room that happened just hours ago was just badd. people seriously shouldn't tell someone that the way they act gives them the ick, because now what if chan trys to change to himself so people can stop with those sort of comments. some so called "stays'" have been really upsetting me saying you're stay but agreeing with people saying chan is cringy & his personality gives them the ick. i feel so bad for chan because the hate he has been getting lately is not okay, but it is almost normalized on tiktok & twitter for people to just attack everything he says/does. i really hope people back off because he is just one person who can take so much hate. skz gets a lot of hate as it is but with chan its like he is a punching bag for people & i am sick of it.

[@Harley_STAY]

I’m so glad I’m not the only one that got emotional during Felix’s vlog, especially when his little sister cried! He’s always the sweetest and his vlogs are all my comfort videos for sure! It was just so nice to see him just relaxing and hanging out getting to be home, and he just looked sooo happy the entire time!! Couldn’t keep a smile off my face! The secret talents video was just hilarious!! All of the talent is truly unmatched 🤣 I always love their chaos. Loved and was so impressed by your talents as well Mel! And I totally agree about Channie I have been really worried about him lately, especially with some of the things I’ve seen. It just makes me so upset and angry when I see the things that are said to him. No one deserves it, but least of all him! I’ve just been hoping and praying that how he’s been lately is from all the stress they’re under right now with all the end of the year things coming up and that it’ll be better soon enough. All of that has to be stressful to deal with, especially being the leader. But I do truly believe that the other members are fully aware of what Chan has to go through and are always there to support him like he needs, they do truly all feel like a big family to me and I think they’re there for him as much as they can possibly be! And thankfully I don’t think they give a damn what he says and still buy him gifts based off him always wearing what the members buy him, and I’ve seen Felix ask him on camera a few times about presents or what he wants and him try and dodge the question! 🤣 Sorry for the even longer than usual comment but I loved this reaction so much Mel! Oh I also wanted to mention that I don’t think you’ve checked out a try not to sing or dance challenge they did a little bit ago but it’s fun and maybe something you could add in with the next reaction, just a suggestion! 💙

[@melaniereacts]

Felix was literally radiating the entire Vlog! It was so wholesome 🥹🥹 and it makes me so happy to know that all of the member will be here in Feb 🙈🙈🙈

[@stayf0rever]

It was sooo nice to see felix with his family and see him having a great time🥺🥺💕💕 and Olivia was so cute when she started crying when she saw felix. Also about felix using big words, as a korean myself, i personally love love love his way of speaking it. Like... if a particular language is your native language, it's really hard to use "beautiful words" instead of bad words. He really uses 아름답다, 예술 같다 instead of 좋아요, 예뻐요 and makes the thing more beautifully(like words in poetry) . Really love the way he sees the world and describes it🥺💕 And i totally agree with you about channie. I think he feels happier when he can help other people than being helped by someone else. I don't want to get too deep with MBTI because everyone has different personality but ENFJ really likes to help people and feel really happy when they realize they can be helpful. He likes to protect and make sure that everyone can feel safe next to him. That's one of the reasons why he wants to stay strong alone( not like "alone " but not getting help from others) It's his own way of achieving happiness and love the way the members appreciate him but always there for him. Chan is strong but really soft at the same time he needs someone when he feels sad. But sometimes just being next to someone when that person needs someone can be better than words or motions. In any ways i just want 찬이 to have a soft place where he can really show his weak parts and just throw away his duty or being a leader or everything... he was the youngest maknae in jyp before he became the big bro and leader of straykids + 48:50 this is like "the only time" when i realized that chan is a foreign person 🤣🤣 like when people use too hard words. He speaks Korean sooooo good 👍 Thank you for the video 🥺💕 i was really waiting for

[@ila2225]

To be honest I agree with you in regards to the whole Chan conversation. Lately the lives have become quite hard to watch just because of recent events where he seems to be voicing the unpleasant comments a lot more, and also, we know he lingers around on social media because he tends to bring a lot of it up, especially lately the bad stuff. All we can do is hope he has support around him, which i'm sure the members will always stay by his side, but you can't help but worry when Chan is so giving, and also the way he hates asking for anything in return. But I think we can place faith on SKZ in that they're the pillar in Chan's world. That's been on my mind a lot more in recent months too honestly, it's really heartbreaking we can't directly do anything for him. Also, if I remember correctly, I think Felix said his older sister Rachel was involved in psychology? I'm not 100% certain on that but I remember he was talking about that on one of his Vlives, and how when he struggled with Korean and studying, he would often call her for advice. I think he was saying that she had expertise in that area, and taught him how not to stress out in those situations and try to take things slow. :)

[@Kpopnoona90]

On a 2 Kids Room with Chan and IN that came out earlier this year, they mentioned that Chan opens up to IN a lot. Chan said he really feels comfortable talking to IN about his concerns, so hopefully he relies on him a lot. He’s also mentioned somewhere before that Lee Know is the person he relies on the most. He’s the one closest to his age too. Woojin I’m sure was that person since he was older but since he left, he’s had to rely a lot on the younger members. I think he also has BamBam from Got7 because they used to be trainees together I think

[@a_lost_staysider]

Every time I see his lil sister's reaction to Felix, I cry. I literally have to go to Circular Quay and to manly to get to uni and work in the city so AGSJDK I COULDVE BUMPED IN TO HIM AT CIRCULAR QUAY IF IT WAS A WEEK DAY AHHH I also laughed when I realised he was going to pancakes on the rocks and did not know about the tallest building either

[@melaniereacts]

Isn’t it CRAZY 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

[@Mimihuynh01]

All the family speak abit if Konglish like a mix of Korean and English.

[@sarah-rm3ij]

I think they do buy him presents now. This year he unboxed the birthday gift I.N gave him on chan's room and he said during him and Lee Know's 2 kids room that lee know buys him birthday presents.

[@TinyLittleSheep]

I think so too with the birthday, I think he wants it in the sense of feeling loved but he doesn't want the attention or them spending money on him, like he thinks he is not worth it. I mean he always wears the bracelet Felix gave to him, so you can tell he really likes it. About the crying I am not sure I kinda can relate to that, on one hand I want people to notice I am not ok but on the other hand I don't want it I hate crying infront of someone and showing that side, but yeah I don't know if Chan is the same. It might be because he is the oldest sibling and the leader in SKZ that he feels such a strong urge to be seen as strong and a unwavering pillar. Btw I really like how your reactions are more than just consuming but also thinking deeply and wanting to understand them. If that makes sense xD

[@makegoodchoices9365]

FELIX'S VLOG WAS VERY WHOLESOME!!!!! ALSO, DID YOU CHECK THE TRACKLIST THEY HAVE FOR SKZ PLAYER AND RECORD, A STAY POSTED IT ON KZbin AND THEY ARE RELEASING NEW SONGS....AGAINNNN, AND I AM SO EXCITED CUZ THEY ARE ALL SOLOS BY ALL THE MEMBERSSS!!!!!

[@nimueperlo]

4:44 When I first watch I thought the same, but then I realised that probably his sisters started to learn more korean because of him

[@leeronicals]

I love how everyone cried watching lix surprised olivia 🥹

[@elisea1080]

Both his sisters have public insta accounts and Olivia posted a group photo with felix and her classmates

[@alexnewsoul9152]

I like minbin dynemic. The way on 2kids room Bin said "I'm not that type of cute little brother to you, right?" to Lee Know. But I think Lee Know actually babying him a lot😁I feel like usually when you see mom side of Lee Know Changbin is nearby))) Also this 2+1 kids room made me think how Bin two times said that he copied Chan such a younger brother thing to do☺

[@melaniereacts]

Hahaha the Minbin dynamic is SUPER CUTE!!

[@MyKrj]

I feel you Mel about seeing Felix in your city. My daughter and I were beyond excited to see Felix visiting all the places that we visited when we were in Sydney, it is a different kind of a feeling. I am missing Australia so so much!!!!

[@carealotte]

Thank you for the reaction, it just made my day so much better! :)

[@melaniereacts]

Aw that’s so sweet 🥹

[@BB.daily_life]

Hi Mel! Who cried watching Felix surprise his sister? ✋🏻but at the same time I couldn't stop laughing because Felix laughed in his sister's face while she was crying something that when it happens to me or my sister we react like this. Lol I died laughing when Chan said that Lee Know can't use any kind of balls and when Chanbin started crying. Two Kids Room + 1 it's wonderful to see the changes and the past of the kids ps it's bad like after MAMA an important point for their career it started to incite hatred towards the boys it's absurd they don't deserve all this they are artists and exposed to toxic people but at the end of the day they are still human with emotions, insecurities, problems. .. they too

[@pia__universe1024]

i'm here! coz i saw felix vlog. haha imma skip the other things for now. i need to watch felix!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@clowneryhun6928]

I cried watching Lix’s vlog 🤧

[@lisi2315]

Me watching Mel jump and flip about in her vlog: "Wow! Mel is such a talented and skilled person!" Also Mel: 24:53 😂she is talent, she is grace 👏 Also would just like to mention that when I saw Felix's vlog my immediate thought was "Mel is 100% going to cry about this" and I was correct 😄 Such an incredibly sweet and heartwarming moment and how generous of him to also share it with us! And I totally get what you mean about it being somehow comforting when he said he'd miss Korea if he left. Knowing some of the hardships he went through in the beginning it's just very nice to hear that he feels so at home and happy there now.

[@lilys667]

I agree with you on the whole chan conversation , it breaks my heart sometimes how he takes all the pressure on himself and struggles to take any love and care back . honestly I'm not too sure why he's voicing every negative comment toward himself he gets an abnormal amount of hate for anything he does or says that on top of the workload and stress he has idk how I would react in his shoes so I can't fault him for whatever reaction he has . I think the members has slowly been trying to understand and give him more love and care in a way that he'll accept it they have been giving him more gifts it's so cute watching how happy he is with felix's bracelet that he never takes off or unboxing i.n's apple watch . he needs to work on himself too to accept more because the example you used about crying in front of seungmin I'm sure seungmin wanted to ask him if he was okay but because he knew chan wouldn't want to talk (even if that's not true) or didn't want to make him feel even more uncomfortable he just let him get his emotions out at least . chan always always mentioned he wanted to be a reliable older brother and leader to them and even tho they assure him he still is even if he showed his emotions he doesn't believe that deep down the trainee days really did a lot to him .

[@zoebang2819]

His sisters have public ig if you want to see their face.

[@jojo.joanna]

A chaotic talent show..... can't say that reminds me of anything I should be dreading 😅

[@DerpyDrDoomy8325]

more than likely he would've come from Meadowbank wharf, it looks like the John Whitton bridge behind him and the bridge he passes under is the Ryde bridge so I assume it was Meadowbank wharf

[@Psymese.if.u.please]

Love watching with you. Felix’s vlog was so wholesome. Love seeing them interact with their family.🥹 And…I’d like to say sorry about the screenshot…but I’m not.😂😋 Love ya hun!🥰😘

[@tasyasmi5013]

Stray kids Felix wow wow wow wow 😲😊😇😇😍😘🤭🤗❤️❤️💖💖💖💗 💗💗💗💗💗 l love you 👑👑👑👑

[@sayyanhmuong737]

Yes he’s a character

[@leaf3273]

Imo chan do need that love its just that he doesn't want to admit it. I mean he even made a song named "i don't want to admit " 💀 so now u can see what kind of a person he is. He thinks it will be burden? Bothering? To others if they care for him but deep down he needs that love and care. Or another thing can be if he sees someone giving him their true love and care he thinks he is responsible to love and care for them in return and if he fails to do so he might hurt them. so he just push people away in order to protect his and others feelings. (This is completely based on my experience. So don't take it too seriously) But once u have been through a phase where people u completely loved...kinda got separated from u...u end up building a wall around u. And that what he is doing.

[@carolso-culture2526]

Felix.adorable seunming tender,...cuando veo a bangchang lee y changbin juntos los 3 veo tres personalidades muy potentes me encantan los 3 juntos

[@pia__universe1024]

okay im crying bcoz of the reunion T______T

[@allie3134]

I’m probably totally wrong but I was reading the Chan situation differently. Chan said once that there’s nothing that hurts him more than seeing one of his members hurting so I read his recent calling out of mean comments as like him showing the haters that it doesn’t faze him, he’s used to it, he knows it’s not true but it bothers him because he’s thinking bout the ridiculous level of hate Hyunjin and now felix has been getting lately and how maybe they aren’t as mentally strong as him to cope so he’s frustrated. I guess we’ll never really know but best leader is strong so I believe there’s nothing he can’t persevere from

[@sem8aa]

41:25 yes, I thought that too

[@suhamhd]

Chan does have a habit of reading negative stuff on camera. It's not that he's doing it on purpose but I feel it's more that he wants to bring attention to it for a good cause coz only if you talk about it in healthy manner like chan does , only there will some kind of room for change for such things.I've never seen idols actually confront such things on camera, mainly because one, their company warns them to not do it and two, whether its true or false or whether the idol is defending themselves or not, they will definitely get backlash either way. It's a one way street with a dead end. And the best thing you can do is to ignore it coz that's the best response otherwise just suffer and get attacked on a daily basis which is inhuman and preposterous. I know for a fact that those people do that only because they're hiding behind a screen. None of them actually has the balls to say that to anyone's faces. I believe and I know that chan has an incredible sense of purpose and he's very intelligent. He knows what he's doing. I feel that way coz he constantly calls out stays who are toxic because he knows that as the fandom grows bigger, it'll be harder to control or convince those stays to stop and if we do it now, every stay that comes into the fandom goes with that healthy mindset. Even though we have a toxic side like every fandom, let me tell you Mel, no one calls out toxic stays like we stays do. Every morning to night its either dealing with antis or with toxic stays. Its a war zone. Constantly. The things we had to hear just because we won an award and just because chan rapped...its been over 4 days. I've never seen someone who takes his responsibility as a leader with such seriousness and always want us to do good and be better people, not just for others but for ourselves as well. Its not just being an artist for him, he knows that what he does can really influence people and I've seen and heard stories of how many lives he had changed. The only thing that bothers me is that he actually expects to be attacked just for anything. Like i said, no matter what you do, you get backlash either way. No person deserves that. I don't know how can people actually laugh at the way someone suffers, all in the security behind a screen. Its sadistic and absolutely awful and in that sense, I wish we could protect him more. Because whats happening to him now is beyond just kpop and seriously getting out of hand. Its fucking scary. But I trust Chan. I trust him enough to know that he absolutely knows what he's doing. And to the people who push him down everyday, please know that Bangchan will always rise above you. He always have and always will. He'll always be the better person. I trust him.

Rachel and Olivia are both on Instagram and their profiles are open. You can follow them :) they updates their stories somewhat often, especially Rachel. I think she works in business, but I could be wrong. She's soo pretty; they all are.

[@Bamgeutcutiepie]

hmmm ok so i don't know what's wrong with the other video 😄 but i sent you a text on Instagram with my information. (from sabina) yes it's me 💕
