The leader of Stray Kids Bang Chan is friends with Lisa from Blackpink. Also, most of Blackpink is made with their producer, Teddy. where as Stray Kids self produce and compose and write their stuff.

[@idcabturopinion]

I hope YG let them produce and write their own songs i don't want so called other fandoms to talk shit on girls

[@salomesalo7473]

Niceeee I didn’t know their producer produced YG’s projects with blckpink too 😮

[@hortbeck]

@@idcabturopinion I love Blackpink, I went to their concert in Atlanta. I don't hate them, they're just different musically in my opinion than Stray Kids. Nothing wrong with that, but the guys were comparing them and that is a difference.

[@hortbeck]

@@salomesalo7473 no, Blackpink produces with Teddy, the producer at YG. Not stray kids producer

[@shantanugadakh1131]

@@idcabturopinion i think in this new Blackpink era ("post born pink era") we'll see Blackpink doing their own writing & producing (we already have seen it in born pink album)... The reason being new Blacklabel GG audition just announced and Teddy himself will be handling that so he'll not be as much involved with the girls as he used to be.

[@ladyshar42]

Since its the holiday season, Stray Kids have a Christmas banger called Christmas EveL that might be good one to do next. Also echo Venom, Maniac, Easy, and all the others. And they just rocked the MAMA 2022 stage, so if you want a live one.

[@komakafox4207]

Nice suggestion, Lady Shar! ((fingers crossed))

[@babyfacemel_]

I agree! Christmas Evel is a great song and they should tots react to it. :D

[@temeculahulamom]

I slept on Stray Kids and kpop for YEARS. I'm an older convert to the world AND Stray Kids is pretty much the ultimate group for me, but DUDE...I'M ALL IN. What I love about SKZ, is that in a world of so much that is the same, their talent stands out. Their discography is deep and they span all genres (pop, rap, hiphop, rock ,ballads, etc. Their sound and performance is just above everything else in the industry and they DO IT THEIR WAY. It's impressive that they actually have a hand in the development of their sound. They all sing, rap, dance, and write their music. Their producing team (3Racha) has written HUNDREDS of songs with so much more that prob hasn't been registered. The visuals, dancing, vocals are so very appealing and to top it off they genuinely seem to love their work and their fans. You won't ever hear anything with them without them talking about Stay (the fandom). I have been around for a while, so I don't waste time listening to stuff my ears/heart just don't like. Stray Kids is the real deal. My recs: -Anything off Maxident, Oddinary (no skip albums for me). Venom, Charmer, Freeze, Chill, Give Me Your TMI, Taste, 3Racha, all fantastic. -Domino, Easy, Victory Song, Hellevator, My Universe, Airplane, My Pace, Christmas Evel -You've already heard God's Menu and Thunderous, but, man, dive into their discography. It's impressive. Welcome to the madness! STRAY KIDS WORLD DOMINATION!

[@Lulu_o7]

I feel the exact same way, like they don’t have a single bad song and it’s impressive! Plus their personalities compliment each other so well to, it’s honestly so worth getting to know the group. I love them all

[@RoPlay]

Welp. This is me on a nutshell!! I just fell for K-pop as of recently, aka, fell only for Stray Kids 🤭 and it was by accident. They have been such a cultural reset for me! The amount of talent it’s astounding. It’s ridiculous! Right now I’m obsessed with everything about them and getting my hands on every single piece of information I can gather. They have become my top artist in record time and their videos interacting on their daily lives are my serotonin shot every time I need a pick-me -up 😁

[@temeculahulamom]

Yes! I was given tickets to a concert last July. That was it. I binged a few songs before going and never listened to kpop before that. That show was EVERYTHING. Their performances (sure, Christopher's crop tops helped) and the engagement with the fans (every wave to every Stay) just grabbed me.

[@RoPlay]

@@temeculahulamom oh how lucky!!! If I wanted to see then I would have to travel. Of course it would be purely because of talents and definitely not because Channie’s abs 🤭. No but seriously, I will make my plans to go to a concert in the near future. It should be amazing!

[@chaunie999]

@@temeculahulamom I went to 1 LA concert and the 2 Anaheim concerts this year and will be going to both encores at the Banc of California stadium. I was NEVER a concert goer. I got into SKZ January 2021 & haven’t looked back. Was never into kpop either lol they are TRUE performers!

[@jadevictoria407]

They just won big at the MAMA’s last night 🎉Our boys never disappoint ❤️ Edit: Stray Kids members Bangchan- Leader, Producer, Rapper, Vocalist, Australian Leeknow- Dancer, Vocalist Changbin- Producer, Rapper Hyunjin- Dancer, Vocalist, Rapper Han- Producer, Rapper, Vocalist Felix- Dancer, Rapper (deep voice), Vocalist, and also Australia Seugnmin- Vocalist I.N- Vocalist Stray Kids members do a bit of everything, for example, every member dances, raps, and sings, but some enjoy it more than others. 3racha, the producers for Stray Kids, are the main rappers, consisting of Bangchan, Changbin, and Han. Danceracha is exactly what it sounds like, consists of Hyunjin, Felix and Leeknow. Danceracha are also renowned for their visuals, often doing modeling gigs and magazine covers. Vocalracha consists of the two youngest members. They’re entirely self produced and won Most Popular Group at the MAMA’s last night.

[@rebecaprs]

The two rappers who started the song (Changbin and Han) and the one with orange hair (Bang Chan) are the producers and lyricists of Stray Kids, they are called 3RACHA! Bang Chan is the leader of the group (he chose the members by himself), main producer and makes the beats and arrengements, while Changbin and Han are in charge mostly of lyrics and flows. Nowadays, all members can and do write lyrics and take part in producing. Just to tell how talented and hard working these guys are! Love your reactions and hope both of you keep falling in love with Stray Kids :)

[@marwaskzstan5336]

yup you got it to the point. We love straykids! they work hard so we stays give them our best support to our boy

[@Jax4SKZ]

As a metal head myself I can relate. I found Stray Kids a few months ago and the aggressiveness of the music suits me. They are so creative and have such a diverse discography. They are all multi talented and write all their music and do most of the producing themselves. If you love live performances they just performed at MAMA 2022. It will blow you away.

[@jessdanowski3516]

I love Stray Kids. They are super unique. They are a self produced group. Bang Chan (leader with orangish hair) hand picked all of the members himself. Also this group doesn’t just have a couple rappers and vocalists. Stray Kids are all rounders, they all sing and rap. They are amazing and have amazing videos. Plus they are just great humans. My favorites are: Case 143 (from their latest comeback) Back Door (sequel to Gods Menu) Easy Cheese Venom Freeze Maniac Circus (new and it’s a Japanese release) Domino Welcome to the Stray Kids family! ❤

[@dinag5550]

Can’t wait for them to react to all of them. Also the 3racha songs. Please upload everyday of them, they have so many discography to react and have many MV’s

[@JAMoore-zz3ki]

This is the most Korean song they've written so far. The basic premise is that they're clapping back at critics who say they're a 'noise' group, who have no artistry or real value, and who don't deserve their success. With this song, Thunderous, the Stray Kids are saying "actually, we're damned proud of how we sound, who we are, all we've achieved and how hard we've worked to get where we are. If we're too 'noisy' for you, if you don't like us, that's your choice. But Stray Kids will not compromise for ANYONE." In writing the song and producing the video, they've included a lot of uniquely Korean phrases and elements, a few examples of which are their use of pansori (a Korean form of instrumental / theatrical storytelling), certain instruments, their clothing, the buildings in the background, the use of the blue floating "goblin fire," certain phrases such as the one about the woodcutter, etc. Then there are things like the arm movements that created the "laughing" sound, the "why you mad, why you sad, etc" lyrics, the symbolism of the crows that were flying around (in Korea, crows symbolize people who gossip and spread false rumors), etc. Thunderous is a cleverly-written masterpiece, to be honest. I love it.

[@Cookie-K]

STRAY KIDS!!! These guys are amazing! More please!!! Thunderous was a song to the haters...many people dislike them and say their music is "noise music"..that they are very loud. Well these guys fuel me..they get your energy high! So many good songs!! Maniac, Venom, Freeze, Easy, Miroh, newer songs like Case 143, Give Me your TMI and Chill just came out with their new album Maxident. You will not regret getting into these guys...to be perfectly honest I'm a bit obsessed with them. STAY is their fandom name (like BLINK for BLACKPINK)

[@karenhagen3735]

I came to your channel because I love twenty one pilots and nf. I also recently discovered Stray Kids. Having an open mind when it comes music is one of my traits I am most proud of. We seem to share some of the same brain cells! Keep digging Stray Kids...you will love them! They are just as brilliant as Tyler Joseph and NF. I got to meet Nate briefly in 2016. He is humble and legendary at the same time 😊

[@love4scotland]

I love watching people discover Stray Kids! They hit so different than I thought they would. I have never been big on rap and hip hop but their rapping is so fire! Can't wait for more Stray Kids!

[@lella1213]

Stray Kids’ genre is unique to them because they produce their own songs and write their own lyrics. They like to experiment and they have a huge discography. You really should explore this group a bit more. I recommend Venom next.

[@Nathalie_Loves_HanJisung_03]

One of my favorite things about Stray Kids is that they produce their own stuff. 3 of the members (consisting of Bang Chan, Changbin and Han, often referred to as 3racha) are the main producers and they write and compose pretty much all of their stuff. I think there’s only 2 songs out of like 120 songs where 3racha have no credits at all, which is really damn impressive and also extremely rare in kpop and I'd say music overall.

[@hereforthebars]

Another 🔥🔥 reaction fellas! These guys are pretty damn amazing. I recommend their song Venom next. Definitely a banger. The most impressive thing about them is they really do produce and write their own music and lyrics. Crazy talented!

[@hortbeck]

So Stray Kids Easy will definitely appeal as a more old school hip hop song as well as their song Muddy Water.

[@hridikaahire0598]

Im glad you’re diving into this world now. Stray kids are really good and the write and produce their own music. You could react to maniac, back door, charmer, Christmas evel, 3Rachas, spiderweb, side effects i could go on but you get the gist ig

[@jpopspeed1]

Stray kids have so many great tunes, my personal fav: Easy, Victory Song, Double Knot, Miroh, Freeze, Venom, Back Door, Side Effects, Domino, 3racha, Hellevator, Muddy Water, Charmer, SSICK, District 9

[@nayeon3318]

BlackPink and StrayKids are my two fave Kpop artists. Oh yeah! I'm so happy and excited you two reacted on their songs.

[@dr6959]

Same and also Ateez and BTS

[@nicole.reacts.]

Stray Kids - Venom next please!! You guys are so fun to watch!

[@churailmukhi]

Stray Kids always win when it comes to talent. They are one of the most unique groups in K-Pop. They produce their own songs from writing, producing and sometimes doing their own choreography. Most K-Pop groups sing what others write and dance to what others choreograph so have no artistic input in "their" music. Stray Kids is what K-Pop should be about: talent, not popularity.

[@TheCutestChris18]

YESS!! Stray Kids! They're my ultimate group! They're an 8 member self-producing group who are known for their experimental hype music but have a very diverse discography! Bang chan the leader is good friends with Lisa from Blackpink. Looking forward to more Stray Kids reactions! other recommendations Maniac, Venom, FReeze, Easy, Victory Song, Christmas Evel.

[@JSKZG]

What sets Stray Kids apart for me is that they write and produce their own music. So very talented. Even though they have their rap/producing line 3Racha and DanceRacha and VocalRacha....they call all do all of it. They are different....when they first came out....people said they were loud and it was just noise....so they always talk crap because of that.

[@nayeon3318]

OMG! Now you're reacting on Stray Kids. Safe to say you two are into Kpop. They are one of the best Kpop group in South Korea. Please do listen to Easy, Back door, Hellavator, and all their songs actually. Surely out of this world. 👌They are same to BlackPink. No greenscreens. PS: They write their own songs, produce it, direct it and choreograph the dance. 👌

[@DANTECandidaGrace]

StrayKids is a fantastic group, the fact that they create their music since predebut days is amazing enough. They have a lot of banger songs with great concepts. Hard core choreography too. Rap line always on fire 🔥

[@Tristana.Keauna]

This was so great to wake up to!! THANK YOU! As many had stated in the comments, 3RACHA is their production team/lyricists. They're involved top to bottom when in comes to SKZ. They consist of the first two rappers on this track Changbin (sometimes called Binnie) and Han, along with the bright orangeish-red haired guy, Bang Chan (sometimes called just Chan or Chris). They make the beats, the lyrics, the flow, decide who will song what part etc. All of the guys are pretty involved now, with many having subunit tracks they had a hand in writing etc (subunit means, not all of them and are often broken down into 3RACHA, Dance and Vocalists - but seriously, each member can do everything). Chan is the oldest (25 or 26, I forget) and the leader and picked each member himself. He is credited with something like 130(?) songs (his wikipedia page lists them all ). I can't stress enough just how talented these kids are. I think next you should do "Back Door", though really you can't go wrong with any of their stuff. "Venom", "Maniac" are also quite good. Last thing, yes, their music videos are great! They're quickly becoming known as the ones with all the great transitions in their videos. I'm just so happy you two liked them! Thank you so much for giving them a fair listen!

[@clowneryhun6928]

Stray kids are an amazing group! It’s rare to find groups in kpop who are as involved in their sound as they are. They pretty much have full control of their sound, which is why they cover a variety of genres. Great video guys! can’t wait to see y’all watch more!

[@lizziebrooks3667]

This was so good I had to watch it twice lmao

[@Tristana.Keauna]

me too!

[@shivp22]

IVE NEVER CLICKED SO FAST Oh I’m so sick we didn’t see gods menu 😭 but you’re gonna love these guys, they’re my fav kpop band. Some recs Easy Double knot Venom Back door

[@minoknows05]

Yes!!!love the reaction Stray kids are self produced I recommend listening to maniac/back door

[@Kielith]

YAY!!! I'm so happy you reacted toStay kids! I knew you guys would like them. 😁

[@saeedtalebipoor2831]

do more guys do more of them, they deserve more , they r selfproduce man

[@digital_dairies_12]

More 🖤BLΛƆKPIИK💗 reactions pls also I love this guys... They're lit💝

[@ninadiamant8937]

A lot of people have slept on kpop.

[@Blinky423]

With Blackpink and Stray Kids they both are some of the only groups that do this kind of music in k-pop. Im not saying they are the ONLY ones but they are the big ones. A lot of k-pop especially girl groups are more cute and girly that’s why Blackpink is the most popular girl group right now bc they don’t do that. For boy groups Stray kids are like the boy version on Blackpink regarding their beats and the edm like sound. Fun fact: Stray Kids and Blackpink are actually friends in real life. There are many occasions that they dance or listen to each other’s music as well as get gifts for one another on livestreams and other places.

[@starbbokie]

Since it’s already December, i think it would be perfect to react to their Christmas Evel MV. That song is not your typical christmas song. But i also kinda want you to see their EASY MV already lol. Btw thank you for appreciating Straykids! ❤ Unfortunately I didn’t get to watch your reaction to God’s Menu so idk if my fellow Stays alr told you that Straykids is a self produced group, such talented guys.

[@GotCommonSence]

Stray Kids Songs you should listen too: Venom, Maniac, Charmer, Muddy Water, Easy, Christmas EveL, Back Door, Red Lights, Miroh. Also, you should check out the group Ateez (they are friends with Stray Kids): Guerrilla, Hala Hala, Fireworks, Thanks, Inception, The Real, Win, To the Beat, The leaders - are some great songs to start with.

[@mindyrussodavis6760]

Ooooooooohhhhhhhhh I cannot wait for you to get into more!!! BlackPink got me started and now I'm effing obsessed with StrayKids. Easy District 9 Heyday 3Racha (can't waaaait to see this 😄) Venom Freeze Back Door ... just all of it!! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@RachaDahou]

OF COURSE WE WANT MORE STRAY KIDS , also thanks for the reaction :)

[@kpopwd]

They're a self-produced group (100% writing, 93.3% composing and 40.4% arranging since their debut). Their producing team is called 3racha and is composed of 3 Stray Kids members which are Bang Chan (leader), Changbin and Han.

[@484Chrissi]

Subscribed! I love your energy! I love how you also paid attention to their writing! Excited to see you react to more Stray Kids. They are so good at writing and producing!!

[@lauradevaughn6156]

They have brought life back to this old lady. I feel so good when I here them

[@_b-ly_flippindipity]

I totally agree with what you said - "this has several levels of different genres and talent". Stray Kids is my favorite "k-group" (I don't even consider them as k-pop), they are so talented and always impresses me. Great reaction guys!!!! 🤗🙌

[@stardustandsarcasm]

I swear the hiphop/metal to kpop pipeline becomes more real every day lmao, can't wait to see you guys explore this amazing genre more

[@sledgethehedge]

Great reaction guys. As a metalhead. I recommend another k pop girl group called “DREAMCATCHER “. They are a seven member group. They infuse metal/rock with pop. Definitely a amazing group that will surprise you. I recommend they most recent song” Vision”.

[@dazzle3b73]

Glad to see you’re discovering more KPOP groups, Stray Kids are insane. The diversity in the genre is an ocean of different themes, concepts, vocals, style! If you want a group that’d probably amaze you I suggest (G)I-DLE’s latest comeback “NxDE” it’s simply jaw dropping✨

[@clalop12]

actually most, if not all, stray kids members are big blackpink fans (if you want to check them out they actually did a remix of gods menu with dudududu on a competition show they were on, God's dudududu, and even predebut they sang blackpink's as if its your last in the survival show they did to be able to debut as stray kids) and the leader, bang chan, has been close friends with lisa ever since trainee days (he actually said they coincidentally moved to korea on the same day and then they met through a mutual friend, Bambam of got7, that used to be in the same dance group with lisa back in thailand and trained with bangchan in jyp, their company). that being said some of their biggest songs like god's menu and thunderous have a very much in your face effect that reminds of blackpink title tracks, that's how i first got into them, but you should check out some of their more diverse stuff, my personal favorites are side effects, easy, cheese, all in, ssick, charmer, mixtape oh, mixtape time out, slump and chill. And yes, while currently blackpink is the biggest girl group, not only in kpop but globally, stray kids are probably the second biggest male group currently, or if not the second maybe a close third, but anyways they're totally killing it!

[@MommaJB]

Thank you for being so open to something new and different. Will keep watching your reactions.

[@supernovasoda]

definitely react to more stray kids! i love their energy

[@melaocrux]

Stray Kids are an amazing group! Maniac should be your next one!

[@WrenHel]

Stray Kids are a whole different level. I'm a huge metalhead but Stay Kids hole my heart I love them soo much

[@Cassonnim]

From metalhead to SKZ fan myself I can relate to this reactions LOL I discovered their music not so long ago and it´s amazing how these guys are so talented

[@earprg]

Need more STRAY KIDS!!!! Self produced, young group!!!

[@jacqy05]

Finally Straykids!

[@robertalanfowler4287]

"God's Ddu Du Ddu Du" is a mash up of Stray Kids "God's Menu" and BlackPinks "Ddu Du Ddu Du" it was performed live on a show called "Kingdom" which put various boy-groups up against each other. I never expected at the age of 50 I would discover I enjoy KPOP nearly as much as I do.

[@ballito1222]

Ayyyyy Let's go Stray Kids... Love your reaction ❤️❤️❤️.. They are FIREEEEEEEEEE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥more STRAY KIDS pleaseeee 😃

[@danielateixeira8184]

new subscriber here, i loved the video!! and i totally relate, i was into kpop before i knew stray kids but after listening to them something just hit it off for me, they're so unique and no one does it like them!! keeping in mind they're discography is super versatile and they produce and write their own stuff, truly amazing! waiting for more skz reactions :)

[@LiveANoursishedLife]

Oh also I would suggest Shinee, the Princes' of kpop. Their very first song Replay is soooooo R&B it's crazy and skyrocketed them to the top and they are still there 15 yrs later. They are known to sound JUST LIKE their CDs in concerts and aren't good at lip-syncing is kinda why they have to be that good lol. So if you ever watch a live performance of theirs it's them singing live. Taemin the lead dancer of the group debuted at the age of 14 and was signed when I believe he was 12 or 13 bc his dancing skills were that good. He is known within Kpop as the Michael Jackson of kpop. His solo music is next level. I hope you will check them out (Don't Call Me is really good) and check out Taemin as well. You won't be disappointed

[@CelestialMoonx]

Kpop is such a different experience. Its a literal ride throughout LOL. Their concerts are also sooo entertaining with the dancing and stuff

[@tanyaferguson1738]

I'm not young and I just recently stumbled upon stray kids and I love their stuff. I like to make recommendation that you watch a music video in the same genre but it's a solo artist by the name of BiBi and the song is "Vengeance". I absolutely fell in love with this video and her cuz she is so badass and so is a song.

[@deannawalker7022]

OMG I'm so excited to finally see Stray Kids physically on the channel. Made my day. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I can't wait for more Stray Kids...

[@lauradevaughn6156]

I love them and I'm 53 my daughter got me into it. We are going to see them in Atlanta in March. KPOP is so great

[@girlyb0b928]

Clever choice to choose straykids after blackpink because yeah they're good at the same level as Blackpink, btw I hope y'all continue to react to straykids because both of your reaction was on the point

[@hotterthanyourex3541]

Wow I can’t wait you to see more of their music and production

[@alondramem]

YEEES kpop is soooo diverse, cuz its no a genre, its an INDUSTRY! So there are lots of incredible artists and genres: rock, r&b, rap, pop, hiphop, funk, electronic and sooooo much more!

[@harliyana]

That line - if I don’t like it, I will talk back until I am satisfied is like their ethos. A great example - they pushed for God’s Menu to be released when they actually have another song in mind. They do have power and say in their music. Fun fact - all of their songs are made and written by them (specifically 3racha - Bang Chan, Changbin and Han) and Bang Chan also has a hand in arranging their music. That is autonomy. Pop is not what we think it is.

[@MATHEWSMAN1969]

Stray kidz never disappoint seen them live twice now

[@RykerroadMeg]

Wait….wait wait wait woah woah woah WHOOOOOO is this?! This is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@RM_formerlyjustRMbutYTsucks]

Welcome to Stray Kids! 😆

[@G.Lollie]

First time to your channel. Where have I am been. Me coming from old country to classic rock to head banging rock and now to K-pop I am loving your reaction especially to Stray Kids. For me they were my first love of k-pop back in 2019. Since then I have expanded my one of a kind kpop playlist to over 400 songs. I went all the way down the rabbit hole. I am like Eric as far as most female singers or groups I tend to lean mostly to male singers or groups just because of the tone or vocals. I know weird but can't help. Not saying its bad just for me though I will prefer a male voice over female. Unless they have a deeper or raspy vocals like Billy Ellish. I am trying to expand to more k-pop female groups because I hate missing out on good music or entertainment. As far as Stray Kids knowing Black Pink. They know a lot of idols and appreciate other k-pop groups alot. I do know for a fact that Lisa from Black Pink trained a little with Bang Chan which is the leader of Stray Kids (the one with bandages for a shirt and orange hair). She has mentioned this on a vlive back in 2019 or earlier. Bang Chan trained in piano, guitar, vocals, starting at the age 13 years old. Because he trained for 7 years, he knows a lot of idols. Stray Kids are self produce group, meaning they write the lyrics, arrange the sound, compose the beats and produce 99.9% of their own music. They have more control over what the produce and they love to experiment with their music. Their videos are top notch incredible and unique especially with the transitions. The leader hand picked all his members which is unheard of in the industry and he named the group and their logo is his hand writing. Bang Chan is also from Australia along with the deep voice Felix who was actually born in Australia. Black Pink is from YG and Stray Kids is from JYP both these companies use to have reality shows together their guys/gals against each other in a more friendly way. I look forward to more of your reactions to stray kids and would like to also drop another group from JYP I think you might like. It is Xdinary Heros. They are a rock pop group that just debut last year with Happy Death Day and that actually plays instruments like a band. My favorite song though is a b-side song from their 1st and only album and the song is Strawberry Cake. They have an m/v for it also Test me m/v. you have a drummer, 2 keyboardist, a base, and electric guitarist. 5 members total. While they are not the first group who plays instruments to me their my first k-pop group that combines rock, punk and pop genres.

[@marythao8776]

I’ve been waiting for this! Seriously loved the reaction! Looking forward to seeing more Stray Kidz!

[@MinSung931]

Omg I love this so much, the song and the beat is so catchy and I love the raps and vocals. For me Felix (my bias) just slayed his part. The choreo is on point like always and I'm just in love with the entire thing words can't begin to describe how I'm feeling about this song. This song is such a hype and really gets me dancing and singing/rapping along. Also it's this song that Han became my ult wrecker. #StrayKidsWorldDomintion

[@edugobi]

You guys NEED to fall into "stray kids journey". It's insane. Double Knot is my favorite. Bang Chang (The leader of the group) produce all their music. The guy with orange hair. He's a genious.

[@eduardaisnoldo6822]

Yessssssssss finally ! My boys are amazing ! 🔥

[@sevynlira]

I think you both would really love "Easy". Seriously. Its a VIBE. A banger.

[@karoline1203]

GUYS WE NEED MORE STRAY KIDS HERE!

[@otakugurl997]

Stray kids is really unique even within kpop because all their songs are written and produced at least in part by the members! They also do a lot of their own choreography! They're incredibly talented at everything they do and I have a ton of respect for them

[@thylionheart]

If you want to hear a more rap-driven song from them, especially a more experimental but lyrically-clever one, I recommend The Tortoise & the Hare. Definitely watch the color coded lyric video so you can hear the whole song (the Unveil Track version is only a teaser)

[@RLC63]

Thank you for your words, BOTH! Looking forward to more (subscribing now). Love Stray Kids 🤍♾ Until next time... happiness ☮🌸 be well.

[@kayemcclendon5857]

I’m a BLINK and Stray Kids is my second favorite group in K-Pop. They’re fun to watch too! Check out “Venom” next!

[@muse9236]

Also, I love groups like The Hu, Skald, Falling in Reverse, In This Moment, Halestorm, along with classic rock, and indie rock.... So, given your other reaction videos... if you want to explore more Korean music... in addition to Stray Kids... I would really recommend J-Hope's More and Arson songs; BIBI's Kazino, Animal Farm, and BIBI Vengence songs; Woodz's Love Me Harder, Feel Like, Dirt On My Leather, and Sour Candy; and Ateez's Wonderland, Guerrilla, and Dejavu

I would also add in BewhY's Gottasadae and Side By Side songs. He is a rapper with Christian focused lyrics. Separate from the message, the sound is crazy and hard.

Never listened to these dudes but I might check them out. Especially with headphones

[@Tristana.Keauna]

def check out "God's Menu" - it was one these guys reacted to, but had tech errors so couldn't show it.

[@indicamberr]

A year later and I'm an obsessed STAY for life! 💖

[@AAZZdone]

Really enjoyed your reaction, guys. Stray Kids is my fav too. I spent sometime in US and I understand your pre-perception with boy band thing. For me, I love the fact that they write and produce their own songs. I would recommend you to check out 1. Maniac 2. Freeze 3. Venom … Then you can go to old stuff like 4. District 9 5. Hellevator 6. Easy and then you can cross to the slow songs. They are very experimental with their music!

[@beck3798]

I love how enthusiastic y'all are lol

[@VictorineLieske]

I'm so glad you reacted to Stray Kids!! You'd love Maniac and Freeze as well. I'm excited for you to listen to more Stray Kids!

[@letitia1vanniekerk105]

3Racha -3Racha is a must listing to (Bang Chan, Changbin, Han) are the rap line and are the producing team.

[@DGReacts]

Awesome reaction guys!! Caught a few of your Bad Omen reactions and was so happy to see SKZ on here too!

[@jeanettechristoffersen1916]

Hilarious reaction, thank you. Stray Kids are brilliant and I would love to see you react to more. They are so diverse so you never know what comes next with them. As you may know they are a self producing 8 member group who also write their own songs. There are 2 Australians in the group, their leader Bang Chan (Chris) and Felix who has the deep voice. Happy listening.

[@neshairston8120]

A couple things some other reactors I like do (just due to the nature of SKZ and how much is usually going on in their videos) is watch the video a couple times, once just to absorb the song and video and a second time to watch the lyrics or vice versa. One reactor in particular that I like also watches the dance practices if there's one available since you can't see everything and their choreo openings are usually really cool. Christmas Evil, which I know has already been recommended (and I call their crackhead Christmas song lol) is another crazy in a "what's going on" kinda song and MV so it might be helpful to watch twice. As a STAY I love watching people react and longer reactions don't put me off especially if it's to really appreciate the artistry in whatever is being done. There's a lot to unpack in SKZ songs from ones like this and Maniac with really integrated dancing and visuals, Venom which doesn't show their dance but rather a mini movie MV despite their dance being fire, to ones like Secret Secret which is a lyrically and emotionally heavy ballad with a simple MV of the boys just sitting and singing to the viewer. There's a lot of different styles, one might say flavors 😉 they like to try out and combine in their music so you will definitely hear a wide variety from them. Oh! The Japanese songs don't have any English CCs so you might have to pull them up separate or watch a lyrics video after just to understand the full message if you get around to them. And yes they are transition kings! They often have it lined up with the story, moves and yes, even the lyrics which is super fun and can be easy to miss like the fog/smoke transition from Lee Know to Hyunjin based on the backing vocal lyrics during the group choreo @ 2 : 20 in the Maniac MV. Red Lights, Chan and Hyunjin's song about unhealthy obsessions also has some cool overlays/image fade ins (no idea what the technical terms are) as transitions. There's also references to their own lore in the music videos, other songs in their lyrics, or things they've done/said irl in MVs, lyrics, trailers, etc. For example, Changbin is well known by stay to say "stick to your Jutdae (principles)" and that's referenced in the background of this album's trailer, No Easy kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaHQZWuYbN2GeJY, as well as the lyrics of Thunderous 0 : 28 in the MV and 2:31 in this reaction. Han is also eating a bunch of brownies in the trailer as Felix loves to bake with the members loving his brownies in particular and he'll even bring containers to the sets for the members and crew to enjoy while filming so Han is munching away at them. The Sound Monster in the No Easy trailer is also what they are fighting in their 2021 MAMA performance, Hey Monster! + Thunderous [Hero ver.] kzbin.info/www/bejne/imm1loGOippgoac. For the MAMA 2022 performance you might want to watch the Oddinary album trailer kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5LEqqqiYpt7atE, the Venom MV kzbin.info/www/bejne/pn6Qm4KcrsRkoK8, and the Maniac MV kzbin.info/www/bejne/hafMoJiJZr-NbdE in that order before the award show performance kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoKumXSag5Kem7s since there are no lyrics for the live stage and you should be able to pick up some more references that way. This is thanks to another I screenshotted on another reaction but I didn't catch the name and it was a new reactor to SKZ so I don't remember their name either. I'm not good with genres so I will go with what they wrote if you're looking to explore some of SKZs stuff since it can be hard to decide where to start. Venom (Electronic/aesthetic MV) Maniac (Electronic/aesthetic MV with dance) Easy (Rap heavy/dark MV with dance) Freeze (dubstep+HipHop/ aesthetic/movie like MV) Maze of Memories (More rap/lyrics only) The Tortoise and the Hare (Rap with a LOT of paying around with the music and lyrics pace/Lyrics only) 3rd Eye (Mixed/Experimental/Lyrics only) Red Lights (R&B/MV with choreo) Side Effects (EDM/MV with choreo) ROCK (rock/ street version MV) Grr/Beware (rock/performance video) Double Knot (Mixed genre/MV with choreo) Waiting for Us (Chan, Lee Know, Seungmin and I.N - Ballad/lyrics only) Muddy Water (Changbin, Han, Hyunjin, and Felix - Old School Rap /lyrics only) Neverending Story (Ballad song and OST for a Kdrama/ lyrics video or live performance on Music Core) Slump (melodic rap/First Take vid with lyrics or lyrics only) Mixtape Oh (R&B/First take performance or Aesthetic MV - part of a mini series of mvs they did including Mixtape: On Track, Unveil: Track B Me, Mixtape: Oh, and The View) Scars (Japanese song- melodic rap/first take vid with lyrics or MV with no lyrics) Winter Falls (broken hearted winter song - ballad/aesthetic MV with lyrics) 24 to 25 (Love letter to STAY - Sweet ballad/aesthetic MV with lyrics) Christmas Evil (kind of a christmas/winter dis track i guess you could say a.k.a. crackhead christmas when I describe it - Hip hop /fun and goofy MV) This got way longer than I intended 😅 but I hope it helps!

[@rightright2810]

Keep in mind that the two songs you have listened and more songs that you will listen are all produced by three members os stray kids. They are totally self produced groups.

[@annnie6133]

loved your reaction!!!

[@lauradevaughn6156]

Yes I'm so glad to be around for this. KPOP is amazing

[@ayehancheol]

I've been a listener of Kpop but I stopped discovering new groups after the 3rd generation (this is where BP belongs to) so this is my first time listening to Stray Kids as well although the chorus is familiar because I think I've heard it on KZbin. Anyway, what I'm saying is that it's nice that I also get to discover new artists because I've subscribed to your channel. So it's like I'm experiencing it for the first time with you guys. It's like this time, you guys were the ones who have recommended me a new artist/song to listen to. And yes, there's a lot of dimension in Kpop! I'm so excited for you guys to explore it! I hope you listen to BIGBANG and 2NE1 too as they are in the same label as Blackpink (they are BP's seniors and belong to the 2nd generation of Kpop).

[@Chello53427]

I saw a comment recently which I agree with wholeheartedly; “Kpop is an industry, not a genre.” There are SO many different styles. Stray Kids are fantastic for that; they love to do something different. Absolutely my favourites 🔥 Check out these tracks from them 😊 Back Door Maniac Venom Case 143 Give Me Your TMI Cheese Domino (dance practice)

[@moniquators8364]

Yes! Although kpop is a genre itself, there are a large variety of sounds within kpop. Blackpink is definitely my ultimate group, but I also listen to like 10 other groups that bring totally different styles.

[@nataliacalixtomartinez9902]

Thanks for this reaction! I love Stray Kids

[@gracewall2923]

Welcome to Stray Kids! They will forever blow your mind!

[@akiblnk3429]

Blackpink, itzy, straykids, treasure are my favorites! They slayed every performances especially when it's live. 🔥 I recommend to watch these 4 groups on a live stages 🔥 so dope

[@annaz8672]

Love your reactions! 💖💖😁😁

[@ShaynaSKZ_685]

Woowwww awesome reaction of our Stray Kids. Can't wait to see more!! Thank you 😊

[@lilyflower2005]

They got signed by US republic records last year. They were main event at the biggest award show so far this year. December is gonna be huge for them and next year is gonna outdo it all and that’s scary lol

[@lex-cl5ze]

the fact that they're self produced just makes them so much better!
