The tentacle monster where he is wearing headphones is taken from Guardians of the Galaxy when baby Groot was listening to music while the Guardians were fighting a tentacle monster. One of my favorite parts. Love it.

[@wesr1490]

Stray Kids in my opinion are one of the most talented groups in the world right now. They can literally do anything and you never know what they are going to do!

Well said. They produce, rearrange, write all of their songs.. and they are in early 20s? Pure geniuses...

[@luvzmin]

In my opinion stray kids is the most talented group in the whole world. I love how they don’t have an exact concept to follow and how they put a lot of effort into their music. The editing was on spot and so were the song. I especially loved the genre change. There’s no other group like stray kids and they deserve every bit of success they’re getting now. STRAY KIDS WORLD DOMINATION

[@ATGolden]

It always felt like SKZ were in their own completely different tier in uniqueness and sound, this time they somehow managed to surpass even themselves. Whole different tier indeed

[@aldomingo1]

They are their own genre. Top tier!!

[@lucaflavius6760]

The cake was from their song God’s Manu, the Blue flame was from thunderous, there are all refferinces for thier songs The “light” was real filmed with a drone.

[@biancadias8876]

I love your reaction…and yes people with adhd love Stray Kids…the sound switches, the beats…everything. It is scratching our brains in the exact right way.

[@lize-mtz753]

yes!! From the first video I watched (God's Menu).

[@sharinistic]

Literally

[@StaySiren]

Beyond the English translation for everything, the Korean wordplay is them playing 7 dimensional chess while everyone else plays checkers. The word ‘teuk’ in Korean means odd (in a mildly derogatory way), and Byul is ‘star’. But teuk-byul means ‘special’. Their plays on teuk throughout Changbin’s b-boy rap, and star and byul is incredibly astounding. A bilingual fan did a break down of all the details the other day. Beyond that, they make references to countless past music videos in theirs.

[@grumblestiltskin13]

I’m so late to this but do you have a link to that breakdown?? I’m a new stay and that sounds fascinating

[@StaySiren]

@@grumblestiltskin13 look up itsANDYandJAS - they are the content creators

[@daviaambrose7665]

Changbin is a whole mood and then when you follow up with Han and his flow it's 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥I respect both their flows equally.

[@anaagpal7632]

Love your review. Thank you! The images behind the breaking mirror I think suggests elements from their past. Blue light is Thunderous, guys with the cake is from God's Menu etc. Stray Kids is the most experimental, disruptive and edgy kpop group out there. Nobody is like them in look and sound. This is why they are called the generation 4 leaders. I won't be surprised if this album goes to number 1 on billboard. If so it'll be their third time.

[@DelphineMales]

There are call outs EVERYWHERE in this video. The set with the trash looks like a call out for TOP, the truck is Christmas Evel, there's something that looks like a call out for Astronaut and another for OH, the Thunderous goblins, the Chef from God's Menu, the fire/the elephant sound/the puddles from Circus, the versions of them dancing next to them at a different time looks like All In, the goggles on the squid are from Maniac, and those are just the ones I found lol

[@1Joanoc]

And this is why their video has been nominated for Best KPOP video on the MTV Video Music Awards 2023 !

[@rineran]

I don't listen to a ton of K-Pop but I love this one! And the video is incredible! Great job breaking down those transitions Knox there certainly are some wild ones!

[@Eliza_P22]

The director for this video (and most of skz's MVs) is Bang Jae-Yeob. He's literally one of the best directors in all of Kpop. Like the man actually creates storyboards for every scene before filming it's crazy. All of his music videos slap too

[@dysutopia4238]

Love your lyrical interpretations... your insights coming through clear from an artist's perspective set you apart from other reactions... technical yet not overly done so it is reachable to even lay audience.

[@lex_10163]

3:09, Nah man, that was completely real, no cgi!! Straykids has a habit of almost never using cgi and always doing crazy stunts and stuff like that! In their music video “God’s Menu”, Hyunjin was standing in the middle of a race track while cars passed by him at really high speeds which was very dangerous since they were like less than 2 or 3 feet away from him! They also rented a whole ship in the middle of the Han River just for this music video! The budget for this music video was crazyyyyy. Also, I think you should react to some of their more underrated songs like Muddy Water, Maze of Memories, Any, 3RACHA, The Tortoise and the Hare, N/S, TOPLINE, ITEM, and some of their solos like Close, Wish you back, HaPpY, Run, Alien, and I GOT IT all by Han Jisung and also Drive by Bang Chan and Lee Know, ZONE by Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han Jisung, and lastly Doodle by Changbin. All of those songs are I guess you could say “rap based” so I would really recommend them, especially Han Jisungs songs.

[@cutehansm]

To explain the end when changbin sings "Stray Kids I got special forces behind me" he talked about STAY (fandom name) and when Felix took his glasses off and normal ppl were swimming in pool, he saw the special forces were actually STAYs! Stan SKZ

[@Lipstickina]

I love how u pay attention to every little detail of their music and mv... respect ❤

[@HeidiLyonPervyNoonaGA]

You know, I hunt down reactions like a bounty hunter and of all I've watched, I have loved your dissection and understanding of both the lyrics and the video the most! Thank you so much :)

[@ranchsanch]

literally same, best reaction and analysis of skz I’ve seen!

[@sanie1au]

When the glass shatters, those random collection of odd characters with the horse, the cake etc, they are from their past music videos. Circus, gods menu, thunderous, 143 etc.

The whole album is a masterpiece, I think you will enjoy it a lot!

[@skyrogers6312]

Looking forward for more skz reactions!!!

[@eukiagempiso9175]

Like wow. I really like how you breakdown the musicality and technicality of the MV and the fact that you try to understand the meaning/message of lyrics and just, literally I'm in awe in every single STRAYKIDS reaction you have! And I can't get enough of it!! Please do react to their SOCIAL PATH, GROW UP, and their newest track LALALALA from their latest album Rock-Star, actually if you can, just react to the whole album 😭 Thank you so much for reacting to SKZ's MV on such a expertly and meaningful way! Kudos to you, Sir Knox 🔥🙌

[@B4HNGCH4N]

1:45 as someone who has adhd, i can confirm that. one thing i love about them is that their music is kind of unexpected in a way and it has so many different details and it’s just so much fun to listen to idk

[@zizifang4679]

Hey Knox! Happy you are checking out skz again! Very excited, s-class is a great production and you’re always on all the details! They’re very talented and a group that self-produces music so if you have time I’d really like to see you react to some of the 3racha unit songs (their producing unit) e.g 3racha (drill) or HeyDay (trap)

[@joicemartins5654]

The whole album is full of bops I highly recommend the whole album haha Thanks for reacting to Stray Kids! 😊

[@raen8722]

YES ! I was waiting and watching for your reaction and analysis! I never get annoyed when you pause the video because what you say just makes me enjoy the music and the music video even more! I didn't know that I would be able to love "S-Class" more, but thank you for what you do. We know that Bang Chan likes to watch reactors, and I believe he would absolutely love your video

[@JAMoore-zz3ki]

Of the 8 members, I know Felix, Changbin and Lee Know all have black belts in TKD. Felix, in particular, did TKD for 12 years and competed all over Australia before he decided to try to become an idol.

[@skyrogers6312]

Knox is back with skz oh god i missed your reactions not because of anything but your intelligence in catching lyrics and explaining them so clearly!

feix is my bias, his voice, his hair in this MV, his visuals, his dancing i can't ugh. hyunjin is my 2nd.

Your breakdowns and analysis always impress me! I don‘t like reaction videos normally, because often it is like „oh cool“, but your videos have value, because you explain your thoughts elequently in an entertaining way!

I've been a fan of yours for a while now and you keep surpassing yourself - keep it up!!)

[@steffaniedenney2061]

You’ve got to react to their performance of “I’ll be your man” from the show Kingdom: Legendary War. The song is originally from the group BTOB. They had to cover the song and make it their own. You won’t regret it!

Thank you so much for taking the time to reacting to this amazing group!!!!! I really did enjoy your music.

This is the benefit of writing and producing your own music. They can absolutely work hand in hand for the video concepts they want in their videos.

I didn’t like this stray kids’ song at first but it really grew on me. At first, it sounded disjointed but it’s probably one of my favorites now.

I was looking forward all weekend to your breakdown of this song!🤗 Thank you so much!! I would love to see you breakdown either superbowl or Youtiful! Thank you for all that you do Knox!

[@stillastrayyayayaya]

Was waiting for you to react to this one. Thank you so much Knoxx for your reaction! Loved your breakdown. Speaking of which- did anyone else interpret the trash that was thrown in the background of the MV as people who "trash talk"? But then, they aren't standing in front of the trash thrown around (like how you'd normally associate it with people who throw trash from the audience onto the stage when they don't like the performance) they are behind it, as if suggesting they put the past behind them. Insane analogy there. P.S I just realised Knoxx had a star cap on. Smart.

[@foxfire9971]

Stray kids is such an assault on your senses, and it’s great. It ends and you’re kinda like “uh, is it done? Did that happen?” It’s crazy. Also, I love how you know all their names now😂

The - "They wonder how my spotlight is so bright" .. I knew that sound came from somewhere and little did it bestowed upon me, I knew it from Mia's Billion Dollar B*tch song as well as her other song - "Psycho". Even though they do not say the same things, the rhythm and sounds are sound very inspired by these two products. It's nuts. I love it. They're literally playing with my brain.

[@Nini-161]

This song has Easter eggs to many of their previous songs/videos God’s Menu, Thunderous, Maniac, Christmas EveL, etc. Now they S-class with this song paying tribute to all of their work to get where they are now. The octopus could reflect them. Eight legs/members each one different doing different things, but they have one focus/eye on the goal/future. This is just typical SKZ GOLD!

[@heidichristensen7919]

I’m new Stay, but am so impressed. And your breakdown of their videos really showcase how next level they are. Never thought another KPOP group would approach BTS in my heart, but they do.

That's a reference to their debut date - March 25, 2018.
