STRAY KIDS REACTION: 2 Kids Room - Changbin & Han

[@AmalaFrequents]

I know what you mean about the first video. It kind of made me think of the survival show showcase where Changbin made a mistake and he actually bowed to Chan even though Chan wasn't particularly telling him off about it. It's the same way he used to be a bit more 'bro' like with Felix, there was a lot more hand claps and playing off affection vs the much more flirty affection they've settled into now. I think Changbin was perhaps just a little insecure at the beginning, a little self-conscious. He was still feeling out how to be on camera, and like he said in the second 2Kids Room, he overthinks whereas Han is more decisive. I think Han's always been more comfortable with himself in being himself and performing right from the beginning, Changbin I feel overthinks a little and it can make him seem more hesitant. In most of his 2KR if you notice Changbin has been subtly feeling out what others think of him, how they really feel, if there are any things about him that annoy people or that he should improve (a little like Chan does tbh). I think he is so conscious of wanting to be a good brother and friend he needs to feel secure in the situation and relationship to relax more, so I think that's why he seemed a little hesitant in the first one because he wasn't that used to being more vulnerable on camera. Han however, especially when younger I think, had a much more sure sense of, this is what I want to do, I'm good at it, I'm not going to be shy. I think he's a quick thinker so when comfortable in a situation more used to being able to take the lead in a joke or switch it up, which is one of the reasons I think he and Lee Know have a different vibe because Lee Know can also think quickly and unpredictably so they can sort of match toe-to-toe wit wise (I feel like Lee Know is one of the few members who can catch Han off-guard and make him more shy/excited in behaviour because the person leading the joke is always changing). Han also has more of the independent vibe, like Changbin said about him in his 2KR with Lee Know, he's not the type to rely on anyone. He might crave their affection but he also very much likes his own space and to sort of be solo in charge of his decisions and thoughts. Changbin feels like someone who very much needs other people to feel good about himself- again like Chan. Not saying Changbin isn't strong minded at all, just that I feel like Changbin experiences affection as a more emotional message about the state of a relationship, where as Han experiences affection as something physically comforting that contributes to his wellbeing- if any of that makes sense at all. Han has no chill, he'll gasp if he's excited, he'll cry if he's upset, he wears his heart a bit more on his sleeve so the speak. Changbin is far more reserved. Changbin will glance to someone else to check the mood before running with a joke or try to cry privately if he's upset, so when it comes to emotional communication, I feel like Changbin was very much feeling it out and letting Han take the lead in the first one, now they know each other well enough for him to be more relaxed about it. That's my take anyway, I could be utterly wrong and just overthinking things myself- this got very analytical 😅.

Such an interesting read!! And I totally understand and agree 100%

[@yueliangmei12]

I think changbin really looks at han as a colleague/partner aside from being a skz member of course, he doesn’t sees han as younger when it comes to producing and rapping coz he knows how talented han is, he doesn’t even treat him the same way as other younger member hahah that’s why han is complaining.He treats han the way you’ll treat your real younger brother, which is a little harder compare to your younger friends. And I also noticed that when changbin talk about their producing work, he’s really calm and serious. Or maybe he’s just letting jisung lead the conversation since he always has a lot of energy and Bennie doesn’t have much energetic that time hahha

[@behindzerosp]

Changbin always put the spotlight on others during conversations like2kids or in serious moments, he also often downplays his abilities to give the spotlight to someone elsee like he sait to Lix that he needs to train his voice while Lix doesn`t he is natural

[@alexnewsoul9152]

My theory that previously Changbin was confident with a member when he could clearly be helpful to them (have role of older brother) and shy with members with whom he wasn't able to do so(Lee Know and Han mostly I feel like). He says that he more closed with older members but I think it just comfortability in being older brother. But Han had some training as a raper was good with freestyle so I think at the start Changbin couldn't feel that his proper older brother in a relationship so he was shy about it but as he said he still cared for Han. Does it make sense)))

[@behindzerosp]

Ammm giving that he is the one who helped Han a lot Han many time has spoken about how much Changbin changed him

[@alexnewsoul9152]

@@behindzerosp I'm not saying he isn't. It's just perception. With others he has a very clear big bro role. But with Han it's more equal, Han helps Changbin grow, Changbin helps Han. Changbin said himself that Han doesn't feel like younger brother. And that is just my thoughts I could be wrong, that their life)

[@starmyatiny5031]

Yes I totally get what you were saying about that first 2kids room. And I agree. Whatever it was it's not like that anymore. And I am happy with their dynamic now.

[@melaniereacts]

Ok I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought that 🙈 I can’t quite put my finger on what it was but yeah I can see that it’s definitely not like that nowadays!

[@meistaskz00]

12:35 I think Changbin lacked confidence that time and compared himself to Han. Han joined the company first and he was a genius (can forget lyrics or assignments but passes and performs well and he creates his stuff fast). Both were very prideful in the past too, Han even more so according to the old stories they told and firm on their different ways and beliefs, though Changbin is more vocal and loud. I love these 2 creative brothers. They bicker, they energize each other and care for each other.

[@behindzerosp]

Giving that after Han dissing him Changbin didn`t get hurt or upset but insted gave had showder to cry a week later I doubt he was comparing himself

[@meistaskz00]

@@behindzerosp I think what I meant in this comment was that when Changbin entered the company Han was already there and Han was quite a persona ( they mention how he fought most skz members, he had this overconfident cool guy persona where he acted like he was the best and etc..) and during training period you can't be confident that you will be picked to be in a group or last long in the industry. Maybe he was confident in his talents but there's like...how many official trainees? They wouldn't be trainees if they sucked since I'm sure there's process on how to be an official trainee. Also Han did Freestyle and showed he could write songs easily (minutes or hours). It's actually another thing if he sees someone having a hard time, he would actually go and help. I think I made this comment because I remember that Changbin is someone who asks "how do you feel about me?" "Are you comfortable with me?" and the likes. They could be getting used to each other and stuff during those, their differences in work, life, personality. P.S. This comment and video was was 2 months ago and I am not good at remembering details of videos. Is that Han dissing Changbin part of their 2 KR?? But if they did I think by the time Han did that they already were starting to know each other and I feel like they would talk out whatever caused it cause I don't see Changbin as someone who ignores that type of thing so it is possible that Changbin did offer Han "shoulder to cry on" a week later.

[@jojo.joanna]

The echoing makes it sound like they're speaking in a lecture hall or something but in reality it's just them bickering and somehow that makes it funnier 😂

[@melaniereacts]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 ahhh the echoing does my head in! I wasn’t going to post this video because of it but ahh well

[@jojo.joanna]

@@melaniereacts it didn't really bother me but I appreciate you putting a disclaimer in case it would be a problem for other people! :)

[@dreamy_mary]

one of my favorite duos in SKZ! I was really surprised to learn that Changbin and Han have fought though... but thinking aboit it, it was impossible for such strong characters not to clash from time to time... both Jisung and Changbin have grown a lot, they've matured, became more confident. that's why probably the latest 2kr feels more comfortable and easy-flowing , also they know themselves and each other better.. Jisung was so confident that he openly admitted being hungry for love in earlier days. I guess he's really transparent as Hyunjin has said. I really can't understand how some people don't see BinSung's closeness. their bond is undisputable, it's cristal clear that they cherish and admire each other A LOT. kinda unfortunate that they were really aware of the cameras in 2kr and avoided being too deep but that's how they usually are when it comes to talking about each other on camera XD these two don't need 'cringy' words after all ))

[@melaniereacts]

Binsung are an adorable duo!!

[@creaaampaan6244]

I know rightt, as a Jisung stan I could totally tell that Jisung himself is matured inside. He respect all around him and reflecting at himself somuch. As he said if in the past he wanted all the attention and wanting to be loved, now he want to give love to all around him as much as he was given. He is more down to earth than ever. I am so proud to witnessing these beautiful human's growth. . . Awwww you still upload video eventho you are sick 😭 get well soon Mel! 🧡

[@melaniereacts]

❤️❤️❤️ thank you xx

[@sem8aa]

I can't express how much I love these two, love their relationship, like how much han respects and loves changbin, he always says that changbin had helped him to develop, just love how han was always nagging about the hugging🤣 And love how changbin is cold in front of han but really cares and loves him, I don't know I just find that a siblings thing + I totally understand what do you mean, because I felt the same

[@sarah-rm3ij]

I think in general there is a difference between the first two kids room and the later episodes and that's just because of the longer time they've spent together as a team and grown comfortable with each-other, I do find some of the previous episodes awkward lol. The members did also mention Changbin and Han fought a lot in the past and no longer do so some tension could be due to that too.

[@melaniereacts]

Ahh yeah that’s very true!! And interesting that they used to fight a lot. I wonder if it was a rapper thing hahaha

[@HANology-01]

My favourite duo they are def. real sibling coded. Pretty sure Changbin dotes alot on HAN .you can just tell by the way he looks at him at all times. Yes, he always wants to know how han functions and what he thinks. That is because he actually likes han alot and han is very grounded with feelings and what he thinks. Changbin really always try to impress han the most, almost like seeking approval and affection in that way. He just acts like a big brother. He teases han alot and vice versa but they want to impress each other and Han cant do nothing wrong in changbin eyes. He really glows alot when it comes to HAN

[@aberefejiro]

Hi Mel, I love Binsung epsiode because they make up half of my bias line and their dynamic is so heartwarming. Its like they click , play off each others dynamics and Binnie is always taking care of Hannie. They're so cute 😍 2kids room has been so amazing and we have skz code today Also I hope you get well soon

[@bbokaribae]

Aww Mel, I'm sick too I have tonsilitis for the first time, so I feel ya ❣ Rest up and recover soon!

[@melaniereacts]

Aww hope you get better soon as well! ❤️❤️❤️

[@AmazedbyGrace95]

I think i know what you're saying! Maybe. Regardless, i love how you can see the evolution of their relationship. I almost see it that they struggled to see each other as equals at the start, and really felt in competition with each other. But now they've accomplished so much together and see what they other is capable of so it's a different respect. Also, Lee Know trying to slyly say that the two brothers need another brother still (3racha, not 2racha!)

[@melaniereacts]

yeah I think you're right in regards to competition! and totally understandable! love how they are now though, they have "settled" into their roles in the team a lot more maybe

[@daciturnerr8023]

This is also my first time watching the previous BinSung 2kr and I get what you're saying >.< Changbin was not like the confident Survival Show Changbin I knew hahaha reading through the comments here, I guess being compared to really affects people much... I'm just happy to see Changbin get back to his roots as I admire his jutdae sm ♥♥♥

[@melaniereacts]

Yeah it’s a different Binnie isn’t it! So interesting to see. But so happy to see that he has grown into the person he is now 😍

[@queenj8886]

I totally get what u're talking about in the 1st two kids' room, it felt kinda tense & the energy was off ngl😂 Han felt hella distant while Changbin was hesitant trying to carry a convo but maybe something small happened and they needed to talk things out 💀 Maybe the ego point u made could've of beeen a factor? They've definitely grown a lot together, established themselves & tightened their bond throughout the many years💕 ICONIC rap duo who knows how to build each other up🙌 Also I hope you recover from ur cold soon!

[@melaniereacts]

Absolutely! Someone was a tad off. Like it didn’t seem bad…… there was just something I could quite put my finger on lol

[@vanessamenacho5695]

They were just very young before and didn't exactly know each other that much. As much as they changed, their relationship changed too. I think it would be interesting if you check some of their old stuff (2018, 2019 variety shows). Bc as the new stay that you are, you would find different aspecs of them from before. Love you and your videos🤍 take care

[@melaniereacts]

Agree!! And yeah I have been watching a lot of their older content over on patreon, but still haven't really seen this side of Changbin, but maybe I need to pay more attention lol

[@hendmokhtar3991]

hope you get well soon>.< and yes their dynamics is totally different but thats actually normal cause they were still knowing each other so yea.. thank y for your reaction

[@behindzerosp]

Changbin always want to support people to be the person they feel comfortable around and rely on. He had said before he gets hurt easily and since he knows how bad it can feel he is very careful,he hates seeing people being hurt. He is very observent and tries his best to be supportive and give constructive criticism but only when the person infron of him is ready for it. Changbin is open about his emotions but manly after the problems or feelings are resolved while Han is more open book mainly in front of 3Racha especially Changbin. When they first met he dissed Changbin and expected him to get angry or back off but Changbin didn`t do it and only week later after Han had conflict with Chan he went crying to Changbin. He had said many times that Changbin helped him to get out of his cocky angry period and realise many things about music and life. I think they got more confident,Changbin said before he isn`t confident but he reprets it a lot to hmself to trick his brain and Han I think he realised people will love him for who he actually is not the cocky facade he used as proection pre debut. Another thing behind the stiffness in the 1st video is that first 2 kids room was one of the first direct personal conversations on camera in this format,combine that with the fact that Changbin at that time had even harder time showing his emotions at the moment he expirience them especially towards Jisung [ it took him till Miroh win to hug him on the stage and Han was open about wanting that hug and closeness]. Changbin in the recent 2kids talked with Hyunjin how he just now started to try to express a bit more. I think since they ware thru a lot behind camera it was even one more reason for him to have hard time showing it on camera. He did it with the rest except Jisung and Lix and I think that is because of the bond he has with them not to say he doesn`t have with the rest especially Chan but the emotional vulnurability probably felt too scary for him to show after debut.There was clear period around Miroh/2 kids +1 when he backed off Lix too and after a bit he started to show a lot of affection to hi,like he said to Hyunjin that he realised he needs to show more so the other person in the relationship knows how he feel.

[@melaniereacts]

Thank you for taking the time to write this amazing comment. I love your insight! Changbin is so special, the more I get to know him the more I love the man. He really is so emotionally intelligent and just such a great person to know. I’m jealous that SKZ have each other 🥹❤️

[@behindzerosp]

@@melaniereactsListening to solo songs he wrote like Streetlight and Cypher can be so eye-opening for fairly new Stay especially if you consider the references he mades in Cypher about Smtm [ rap survival show ]

[@lisi2315]

I hope you feel better soon Mel, rest well! Also I know what you mean about Changbin being different in the first 2 Kids Room episode. It's hard to put your finger on it but I saw the same kind of deferential or passive (don't know what to call it exactly either) demeanor in him in his episode with Lee Know from that same season. Maybe it has to do with how he used to be with those two specifically. Though I also feel like part of the apparent difference compared to him nowadays is just that he grew up a lot and became way more confident in himself and settled in his relationships with each of the members. Anyway, I'm really curious to see what him and Lee Know will be like together in their newest 2 Kids Room episode. I expect a lot of yelling hahah

[@melaniereacts]

yep agree 100%!!!! And I am curious about Lee Know and Changbin as well, so excited for their ep to come out!

[@jojo.joanna]

[@iam_bambi]

Get well soon!!! 💛 And I feel like Changbin lets Han lead the conversation? 🤔 Something like that. He usually, as u said, confident, but here with Han he seems more like caml and a bit shy. Maybe its feels like it bc Han talks more - he is just ball of energy.... So yeah I guess Han just leads conversation with Changbin just sitting here and admiring what he said ✨
