Did I mishear or did you say you’re going to upload the recording behind videos on there?

[@Koko3op]

@@rembbokieyess I’m gonna film them tomorrow

[@tapioooca5182]

​@@Koko3opoh :( that's my fav content so it's sad it won't be available here. I'm glad you'll watch it either way

[@KseniyaAquila]

I'm already waiting for your reaction for SKZ, it's been a while. About recording for 5 star. There are two videos, one is a part of album intro, one is a present for Stays on Stayweek

[@tapioooca5182]

Idk if you've already seen it but Bang Chan and Changbin sang Eyes, Nose, Lips on karaoke and it was absolutely beautiful they killed it, especially Chan's harmonies and runs added so much to it

[@g2growcya]

Omg god yes. It was lovely. And i always love chans harmonies

[@SKZemiliaSTAY]

14:17 I agree 100%. People like to pigeonhole them into a certain genre without truly delving into their versatility. You can't just listen to 1, 2 or 3 popular StrayKids songs and make a full on decision about them. They are so incredibly diverse in their music, so unless you've literally listened to everything they've put out, your opinion and claims about their music are unfounded and ludicrous. Once someone has listened to their entire discography and still puts out a negative opinion of them, I'll respect their opinion, but unless you've put in the work to check them out fully, you're opinion is invalid. Come at me bcuz I'll just say CHEESE 😁.

[@temeculahulamom]

One more time, for the folks in the back!

[@Ari_StrawBerryCake]

Lee know R&B album? YESSSS

[@TheCamiCrazy]

They’re taking lessons at the same place Baekhyun takes his vocal lessons and it shows 🥹

[@Leidyybug]

What is this supposed to mean ?

[@polyanagula]

@@Leidyybug Baekhyun is one of the best singers in the whole of kpop and he is still taking vocal lessons. several SKZ members are known to take vocal lessons too (and it is known that Seungmin has the same vocal teacher as Baekhyun) and their progress is seen very well over time.

[@Leidyybug]

@@polyanagula Oh, I didn’t know who Baekhyun was . Thanks for telling me .

[@polyanagula]

@@Leidyybug no problem! Baekhyun is one of EXO main vocalists, Seungmin once did a cover of his solo song and called him god of kpop :)

[@Leidyybug]

@@polyanagula That’s gonna be a nice watch, thanks ! :)

[@loulouwillis5648]

Hans I'll be your man amazing performance on Kingdom showed his great talent for everything and wow Lee Know sounds fantastic!! They all do.

[@cryforyou255]

Thank you for this reaction I really appreciate you diving deeper into Stray Kids and their music

[@jeninnehale1749]

It’s nice to see their development. They have always been good, but I agree they are now showcasing more of their diversity of talent. Thanks for reacting to stray kids. Curious about your reaction to the latest album and dance.

[@lenarakahn]

seungmin i.n and lee know are all know working with baekhyun's vocal coach so maybe they all started working with sm coaches

[@isuckatusernamess]

15:37 yes!!!!! so many people discredit them and say they have no vocals/can't sing bc their title tracks tend to be more hard hitting and rap focused instead of crazy vocals but if you listen to their albums/songs that aren't the title tracks you'll quickly realize that isn't true and they do so much more than their signature 'noise music' they're crazy versatile.

[@esidhe]

Always nice to see someone that notices Changbin. Sometimes I feel he doesn’t get enough credit as a rapper, singer, dancer or songwriter. As people have already commented, Stray Kids have a lot of sub unit songs. Drive, Red lights, Surfin’, Gone away, Snain, Because, My Universe, Maknae on top, and probably others I have missed. My favourite right now is the karaoke duet of Chan and Changbin. I have listened to it many times. Felix, Lee Know and Changbin has done Taekwondo. kzbin.infon5EigGOAZ1U?si=6i34GJ4KoSwrPajY

[@G.Lollie]

Thank you. Stray Kids does have a bunch of unit songs. Most people just react to all their title tracks and b-sides but Stray Kids has a bunch of unit songs. You have Bang Chan and Lee Know in Drive m/v, Bang Chan and Hyunjin in Red Lights, Felix Changbin & Seungmin in SNAIN, Han in his latest solo Miserable is amazing. Hyunjin with his latest solo Contradicting and Seungmin with Hold On solo all in the last 2 weeks. and the recent 5 stay birthday song they released Party's Not Over is a great vocal song. I think you are correct in the past stray kids weren't getting recognized for their vocal talents as much but as they grow in confidence and mostly in experience they are showing more of their vocal side. It is evident in the latest album 5 star we have a great mix of hip hop and vocals. A very well balanced album that teases all your 5 senses. But for the stay fans that have been following a while like me, already knew their vocal talents and very excited they are showing it more and more.

[@CeexCee7]

Thank you once again for giving an objective reasons...the good and bad and what can be worked on to improve and the underrated...I love how you notice each member when they shine or where they can improve...and talking about rnb...I NEEEED all of stray kids to do an rnb album...Han just released a song called Miserable(you and I) that reminds me so much of early 2000s rnb, more in particular it reminds me of Craig David's song fill me in.....I believe SKZ has that variety where they can do any genre and I hope they can tap into even more sounds in the future

[@cassc23]

They do have sub unit songs and they do mix and match a lot! I think a lot of people mistake who's doing parts sometimes when it's not the 'expected'. Their skz replay, record and player do a fair bit of this. Their range is why Stays always say they have something for everyone! Glad you're seeing and appreciating how much range each of these guys really do have...hence the no set roles too!

[@elsaguillot4901]

i literally pray every day for them to be in killing voice !!! It would be so amazing !

[@lenarakahn]

chan lee know and changbin as a sub unit would change me as a person

[@mett245h]

There are two videos of their album recording. The part 3 is about album intro, which is talking about the songs, learning choreography, and recording s-class

[@banginch0n]

Bangchan vocals appreciation yeees finally thank u he's a great vocalist as im sure u noticed

[@twinxbee7660]

21:57 The way Lee Know kick and catch the falling cap as well. That shows how flexible and quick he is😅. Not just once but many times he catches his cap during practice😊

[@yewoooo6520]

I miss your stray kids reactions! thank you

[@Koko3op]

More to come and happy to be back! Just wish they had even more content.

[@Cg___167]

Yay thank you for your reaction. I really like how objective your reactions are since you're someone who do music. Will definitely join you on patreon for the recordings haha.

[@Koko3op]

I appreciate that!

[@andmyhairwasgone]

love love love your skz reactions, feel like you really hit it with this one👀 like yes they are so versatile with their vocals and leeknow on rnb and omg yes more subunits!!! like chanleechang are you dumb?? first of 10 for creativity and another 10 for the vision🤤

[@Koko3op]

Hahaha thank you!! Wouldn’t that be AMAZING?? 😭

[@Tinseltess]

So excited you are back with the next Skz vocal analysis!

[@kaykay_kkmaka]

I would love to see your reactions to both recording sessions and the dance practice intro if your interested!! I enjoyed your reaction to theses videos and would love to see more! Also LeeKnow dance skills just brings a smile to my face🥺

[@ayvidyan]

You are so right with their versatility. I wish to hear them more in with interchanging roles. Vocal would rap more and rappers would sing more. They are so capable of it. They did it on one of thier concerts and it was amazing Seungmin did a great job rapping Han's part same with I.N with Changbin's part while Lee Know and Chan are a natural rappers already. On the other hand Hyunjin, Changbin and Felix showcased their vocals and Han being Han was not a suprise. They all nailed their parts despite them not so use in each others roles and it shows their versatility. I'm glad SKZ made you happy today. 😁

[@Koko3op]

Ahhh I love that, they can do soo much! Yes they really did.

[@ninadiamant8937]

Really enjoy your insight. Thank you.

[@Koko3op]

My pleasure!

[@skzstan822]

Cannot wait for more 5 Star reactions!! They really have all put in so much effort this past comeback season, and you being in agreement of that makes me so proud to be a Stay (as usual) !! 😌

[@kay9301]

They actually already have a lot of subunits, some official, some unofficially, they just don’t get promoted as much sometimes. But you should totally check them out! I’ll list all the songs from subunits I can think of down here: Zone, taste, wow, gone away, because, up all night, drive, maknae on top, 3racha, can’t stop, heyday, muddy water, waiting for us, surfin, red lights, my universe, we go. They also have a lot of solos, so if you wanna hear more from the members individually, there’s so much to check out.

[@jojo.joanna]

FYI in case it's confusing, there are 2 recording behinds for the 5-Star album: S-Class kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpCxpWCgo716nLMsi=_BDEr8EVkQ5KTxNv Item, Topline, Youtiful kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6DHnJqEmql9o5Ysi=ZD_Pp3HCA1fS_BbS Also did you see AKMU RELEASED A KILLING VOICE apologies for screaming but I am so excited

[@Tomtom12654]

Thank you for reacting to stray kids!

[@MellsyBaby]

11:10 he's said once or twice that he "Messes up" to show that they're doing it live since anti fans say they're not able to sing live😂 Love your reactions ❤❤

[@Koko3op]

Haha I'm so glad he did that cos it DOES sound sooo clean even I had my doubts! Loved it

[@ayogg9062]

True, but not in this. He mostly forget. You can see I.N and others face confused as well and this is first take too obviously he would take this seriously. Bang chan is known for being a perfectionist.

[@ckstay968]

STAYS ! THE JAPANESE COMEBACK FROM OUR BOYS ! "SOCIAL PATH " (FEAT . LiSA ) COMING UP TODAY AT 12 KST ! www.youtube.com/@StrayKidsJapanOfficial

[@Tinseltess]

It's SO FREAKING good!!

[@tatfitmomb4461]

Watch SLUMP first take if you haven’t yet. It’s heavenly.. Chris as a vocalist is so underrated ❤

[@jojo.joanna]

I've been following your reactions to different artists (even ones I haven't listened to before) for quite a while now, and I'm so so glad that you've been going down this Stray Kids journey / rabbit hole over the last few comebacks!! Definitely agree with your comments about their untapped vocal potential, because while they decide their own musical direction it does restrict their freedom to explore certain showcases of vocal tone and skill as well (and they truly have such a range of unique and wonderful textures) Also love your comment about how choreo can be creative and engaging without being difficult for difficulty's sake because in a generation saturated with hard hitting and compact choreo it's really the consistent artistry that makes a brand stand out Lastly, I'm sooo excited for you to check out their recording behind scenes, the directing from 3RACHA in the studio is so interesting to witness and really gives you a greater appreciation for all the details in their vocals and raps

[@Koko3op]

I'm sooooo excited!! And thank you for this comment! Yes artistry is SOO important these days.

[@kandirain_1172]

Took me a minute to get to this video but glad to see ur reaction. I always think, whether I agree or not, u r fair and state ur opinion with musical evidence. This seems to be no different. Thx❤️

[@suhailaibrahim7471]

There are going to release a docuseries from Lollapalooza Paris the 31st, I hope you can react to that as well

[@hennakhan4587]

It would be wonderful if you can react to The Sound. And there's now fancam of Lee Know singing Limbo live!!

[@MaggieGueder]

Lee Know ❤ R&B

[@lenarakahn]

they realised intro 5 star in 3 parts! part one is where they talk about album and all the songs part 2 was dance practice and part 3 is the recording

[@MindyRRD6760]

Can't wait for you to get into the album. ❤

[@Koko3op]

Wait which one? I’m guessing there’s a full Japanese album? I reacted to 5 Star on Patreon already.

[@lee.tissue]

12:26 12:47 tell me your lee know biased without telling me your lee know biased 😭😭lmao cause same I love you for appreciating him in each of your skz videos💗🫂

[@LoVeTiFfAnY26]

You should watch Changbin and Chan singing taeyang eyes,nose,lips cover

[@MJC149]

since you seem to like their live performances, you should check out Winter Falls and TA / Backdoor live (special performances).

[@polyanagula]

thanks for reaction! will you react to their new release "Social Path"? It is a japanese comeback and it features LiSA. SKZ still have a room for improvement in vocals, but I am so proud how much progress we see and how well they perform live. another indication of how passionate they are at their job. since 2020 almost every album has unit songs, and SKZ-replay completely consists of unit and solo songs except the title track. none of the units is official though, except 3racha. for each song and album they do different combinations of members in the units. I think a lot of people just hear a common narrative and follow it without trying to make their own opinion on the subject, because it is much easier. SKZ has never been terrible singers, they have always made beautiful vocal heavy songs in addition to hard hitting bops, but people just see what they want to see after checking their 5 songs with highest views. it is natural, I guess. There are people who prefer their noisy songs, there are people who prefer their vocal-heavy songs, there are people who love both and this is the beauty of SKZ discography.

[@_.isy._]

Finally someone who appreciates hyunjin's voice in the 'lost me' performance. I saw quite a few reactions and comments now, and they kept saying that he sounds different or even weird 😭 imo it feels like he's experimenting with his vocal style and i think it sounds awesome! I was so pleasantly surprised when i heard him.

[@mazzy305]

If you haven’t yet I would suggest checking out their ‘Re-Play’ album for solo and unit songs. A few have mv’s but most are lyrics only. Side A of the album has two group songs, the first being ‘Fam’ Korean version, which has an mv (I highly recommend it) and ‘#lovestay’ which also has an mv. The rest of the A side is made up of new solo tracks from each member and each member had a huge part in creating their own solo tracks. None of the solo tracks have MVs. The B Side is made up of previously released solo, duo and unit songs that were only available on KZbin before the album, some of them have MVs but as I mentioned before most don’t. It’s a really good insight into each members style how far they’ve grown both vocally and as song writers.

[@Koko3op]

I reacted to the replay album on here in my previous analysis videos.

[@mazzy305]

@@Koko3op oh cool! I have probably seen it but honestly I like to watch so many reactors that keeping track of what each has reacted to is kinda hard haha.

[@_e.romher]

Watch their Studio Choom performances but make sure it’s full focused. Also skz songs I still recommend are Sunshine, M.I.A, and COLLISION 🙏🏼

[@tsharpe4047]

I was about to suggest looking at the Taemin and Hyunjin collaboration and you had already watched it. 😂😂😂

[@maryooma8]

Wohoooo finally some skzzz

[@chesiresays]

I highly recommend checking out their latest Japanese release, Social path Fr LiSA

[@SheOwensItAll]

OMG omo omo a SKZ Killing Voice would be INCREDIBLE! I know I fell down the rabbit hole with Seventeen when I heard their session. SKZ have so many fire b-sides and stunning background vocalizations that would be greatly showcased in a Killing Voice format. Did you get a chance to listen to the 5-star album? Songs like Collide, FNF, and Youtiful captured lovely vocals 🥹✨

[@maria-ih4vx]

unfortunately 5-star promotions were cut short after a week and a half , we thought it was cause of the members health but they were getting ready to their lolla performance and their japanese comeback and their dome tour so even tho 5-star was a big comeback we didn't get them anywhere besides a few music shows with s-class :( their single for the japanese comeback is about to be out tomorrow and it's a feat with the japanese singer liSA its call social path , we hoping to get a first take of it this time too 🤞🏾 also i think I'd like seungmin and han's new skz- record songs , seungmin's song it's called "hold on" (it was written by han) and han's song it's called "miserable" and it has a bit of r&b feel to it (lyrics also by han) they both such good songs

[@liptasamantray8980]

idk if you've already learnt this, lee know has three 2nd degree black belts in taekwondo, hapkido and martial arts so you were right about taekwondo!

[@anan1004]

Thanks you to react Stray Kids ! Please react their Japanese new songs so incredibly ~ Super Bowl and Social path ❤

[@lience2759]

Idk if anyone told you but I found out something recently. The vocal line has been getting vocal lesson’s from Baekhyun’s vocal teacher. I believe they are even paying for this themselves. I feel like JYP does not know how to help their singers grow. So watching them improve their singing quality, it is themselves putting in the effort and going on the side to make it happen.

[@Tuvabaluba]

[@segyloveschombey]

The track was way too loud on lost me and the mix for case 143 was weird lol I didnt like it was done either

[@CeexCee7]

I agree...I didnt care for the instrumental and arrangement change either...I think they should have kept it in the original format because Lost Me is my fav Japanese song from them and it wasnt done justice with all the changes

[@Kazza40878]

I so wish they’d stop doing their dance practices in that warehouse, the sound is just awful, like they’re playing the track on some cheap 1980’s ghetto blaster 😂

[@Koko3op]

Like it’s SOO confusing to me 😭
