Stray Kids Talk Christmas EveL, Noeasy and Kingdom: Legendary War...

dude I felt so validated but also weirded out as a Chan-biased Stay and as a creative who frequently utilizes the honorable technique of "that's a terrible idea...screw it I'm doing it anyway for a good laugh". I should also add that I don't think I have regretted that statement even once.

This is what i love about Zach's interview, he did his research before interviewing them. He knows about the lyrics, compositions, asked about their concept, the members and it's so lovely how he focus on them and them only.

[@jordicarvajal2834]

Exactly! If you were going to have a K-pop group on your show and if it's there first time on your show, you definitely need to do research and know about the group that you are about to interview. This did not happened when GMA interviewed TWICE, it was a disaster.

I absolutely love the way Changbin thought about writing a Christmas song for those for who Christmas is in fact not one of the merriest time of the year. It's actually the case for so many people - more than we acknowledge, I think. And that's one of the many reasons why I love him and Stray Kids as a whole so much: they aren't afraid to tackled more tricky subjects, but still in their own unique way.

[@illananunes3401]

literally me, we do not have a cheerful christmas here

[@hannie2122]

yes exactly. loads of people where i’m from, kinda dread christmas because it’s the coldest, and darkest time of year, and we all feel kinda down and gloomy. for example, you don’t see friends often cause you don’t want to go out in the cold, the dark weather makes you gloomy, and you get colds and sick cause it’s ABSOLUTELY FREEZING outside it’s (for us) also the same time as exams; so it’s super stressful trying to balance being sick/ down or just frustrated with trying to study all day. and also you feel pressured, as if you should be “in the festive mood” and be feeling happy, when you just don’t. I do think it’s very pretty when it snows, and the whole hot cocoa thing is a big aesthetic I feed into- but i think the harsh reality for me especially is that it’s definitely not my favourite time of year and i do prefer summer and spring. just overall, seasonal depression is very real, and the fact skz recognised it makes me and a lot of people feel so seen! I absolutely love this side of SKZ because i feel like they’re just so insightful!

God I really wished the interview was longer.

From their predebut they showed how big they would be

[@iamnotv1c]

yes definitely agree

[@kelvinzhang36]

That’s because they don’t particularly stick to the God’s menu formula throughout. So their later songs are a hit or miss. Take BLACKPINK for example. Ever since DDU DU DDU DU blew up, they’ve been incorporating the same formula in their music (at least in their title tracks) from Kill this love to How you like that. That’s how those girls were able to keep up the hype and be more successful. Once you establish your own sound, you gotta stick with it. Cuz that’s your signature sound that defines your group

[@skzstayme4051]

This is why I love stray kids so much. They really care about the genuineness and the authenticity of each song they perform. Also being the first 4th generation group to have a million seller album, having youtube and spotify streams that back up their sales (1B and 2B respectively), yet they are so humble and they don’t even realise that they’re THAT good. I found stray kids at a very low time in my life and their music saved me. I will continue to support and love stray kids because I know that the emotions and feelings they convey through songs are all real and genuine. That is so rare in this industry and I wish more groups could have. but that is again what makes stray kids, stray kids. sorry for the long comment I just really really am so proud of how far Stray Kids have come and what they have achieved despite having a really tough and busy year. 스트레이 키즈 짱! 스키즈 화이팅!

Honestly, I don’t understand the hate thrown at JYP by stays. He has time and time again shown how much he trusts them and gives them so much freedom to do what they want. Even when they weren’t selling well (and they really didn’t sell much if you look at sales in 2018 - 2019), he never took away their creative control and continued to trust their own vision and opinions. I’ve followed kpop very closely for a decade and this level of freedom and support is so, so rare, even within JYPE itself.

[@정아름-z1k]

well said.

I mean stays and basically other people do not hate on him cause of SKZ but more because of his cringe moments, and many times it is not even hate but fun. But I understand what you mean. When you look at some meme videos about JYP you see meme comments but when you look at some vidos of him with SKZ or him (not performing) there are lots of good comments because we know that he cares about his idols.

[@amourlix7509]

It's start because there is the other fandom from our sunbae who create the chaotics "opinion" about their idol that they call it a "mistreat" and they judging JYPE and the pd-nim for bad reputation.. They're not just ask about justice, but it's also hating and discredit JYPE as an agency and pd-nim as a CEO. They trhew the hate and the hatred getting more widden untill the haters come to provoke more serious just like they doctrine Stays and all fandoms to just see the bad reputation of JYPE and pd-nim himself. That's unfair and i can say this is about the criminalization a company or a person. So many Stays like FOMO that Stray Kids will be had the same treatment like their idol in a future. They always said "be Careful" of JYPE or pd-nim to us. But it's like just not an advice. It's more like a suggest to hate JYPE and pd-nim. That's cruel In the end, "Some" Stays likes to join in the hatred and feels paranoia that Stray Kids will be treated like their idol. But the fact says different side.. Stray Kids, especially Chan is always give us warning to "BEHAVE" to everyone, it's not just for behave to the other idols and their fandoms, it's BEHAVE include to JYPE and pd-nim too. Chan once said on Chan's Room like "Don't blame jyp for anything, even though it's just for Wifi connection" so.. He wants us to give some respect but some Stays' are being fooled for the hatred they had spread. That's Ironic. But it's just "Some" Stays. I'm a stay too. I respect JYPE and pd-nim a lot as Stray Kids respect them. As they give Stray Kids madness Freedome for their music. I genuinely support the agency and pd-nim as well

Like, several former artists have nothing bad to say about him. They usually have like embarrassing stories to share but not like real issues that resulted in them leaving.

And now we finally have the song that was supposed to be the title, the original God's menu, SUPERBOWL after three whole years. I'm glad superbowl could finally see the light. I hope we get to listen to all the songs that have ever been on Chan's laptop 💻🎹

[@nicolecunnington5373]

Watching this after Five Star album is released and hearing them speak about the other song (16:18) that was to be on the album, knowing now that it's Superbowl!! Love it!! 😂❤

Bruh imagine Chan is sitting on goldmine ,,that laptop of his …should be protected with heavy security cause it’s stray kids future and superpowers

that's a good point, god's menu rly set the stage for everything that came after. an immortal album full of bangers 🔥

Zach 10/10 interview. So detailed, pointed and relaxed. The guys too really thought about their answers, so genuine all round. It’s actually really hard to put every day actions and emotions into words like that, they were great! Chanie and Zach embodying the whole ‘if you have something nice to say, say it’ Always so appreciative ^^ Ahhh that was such a great interview as expected :D

[@ourlove9159]

I love the questions. And Chan is really a good leader. Not just he speaks for the group, but he also includes his members, helping them translating their opinions, and he's a good speaker too.

[@Gio-ut8tl]

Honestly, I can't even express well how I enjoy interviews with Zach. Stray Kids have done a lot of interviews and tv shows to promote their music, but I can't help but feel like Zach makes the questions that really matter. As a listener to an album full of songs that are unique, relatable, and fun, It's refreshing to know how the music that I love so much is made, how the process was, what are their thoughts about the music that has already come out and how they view their own work. It's one thing to listen and keep up with their work with your own opinions and perspectives, but to be able to listen about how they view everything and work it's amazing. I stopped everything I was doing just to listen to the questions and answers, and I don't usually do that haha Thank you so much, Zach!

[@justyna3869]

Watching this it shows me again how much of input CHANGBIN has when comes to ideas and concepts. He's such a creative and inspiring person really. HANDSOME too, like seriously I couldn't look aways from him. THANK YOU ZACH for this interview, it's great to finnaly watch something and understand what they're saying haha

I’m honestly a Zach Sang stan at this point, he’s the best interviewer out there I will actually fight you if you disagree. I love how he always does his research and seems genuinely so invested and curious in the artists and what they create. He asks such interesting and clever questions and it was so nice getting to know stray kids more from the artistic point of view, since they don’t really ever get a chance to talk about their creative process. They’re really one of a kind and I’m glad Zach acknowledges that and gives them the opportunity to explain why they’re so unique and amazing. Also the kids seemed so comfortable and it was nice seeing them just chatting about their accent and cardigans loll This interview is just top tier, keep it up Zach and Stray Kids, you’re doing an amazing job, I’m so so proud of you and to be a stay

[@jordicarvajal2834]

I strongly agree with you. Zach Sang does his research before interviewing someone. Like if you had your own show and you are about to interview a group or artist and it's there first time on your show, you definitely need to do research and know about the artist that you are about to interview.

[@clarab325]

it's when they pause to think deeply of an answer, that's when you know it's a great interview right there. thank you so much for asking such questions and for just making them the most comfortable. i enjoyed this so much.

"how do you know a song is done" thats such a good question!! kinda like figuring out the time when a painter has to stop fixing his work

You can really tell they're impressed with the questions asked. I love when they actually have to pause and think about their answers!

I loved kingdom, and actually end up watching it a year later, at least, since it had been released. I did not know who had won it,even . It is my favorite comfort watch. So many incredibly good performances by all the bands
