Agreed. The 2022 TeaNoSuga guide was better. Also, the Korean version of FAM is a good intro because the guys are introducing themselves, with some of their nicknames, in a song, at a concert environment.

[@keertanadivakar4271]

For anyone who is confused, the ace of a group does not mean they are asexual, it means that the member is considered to be really good at everything like, visual, dancing, singing, etc. They also produce and write songs. So basically someone who is considered the best of the best in their group/entertainment company. Hope this helped😅

Just to answer some of your questions 1. I’d recommend a more serious guide that actually kinda explains the members, the one you picked was more of a joke one, the best one lately is the ultimate stray kids guide by teanosuga 2. The charmer video you watched was actually a fan made one, unfortunately charmer never got a MV (as much as stays wanted one 😂) 3. LiSA is actually a Japanese artist who has done a lot of anime osts and is really popular in Japan 4. To answer you question about who is skzs biggest competition, it kinda depends, they’re know as the leaders of the 4th generation of K-pop and have broken multiple records and has even come close to bts on beating some, it’s really who you ask tbh 5. Skz have more of an international fan base then Korean, they actually are kinda known in the uk and even did a uk drill inspired song (it’s called 3racha) but they recently sold out shows across America, Asia and Australia (unfortunately didn’t come to Europe because they’re bad a geography apparently) but they did recently headline lollapalooza in Paris, the VMAs (which they won best K-pop for) and 3racha (skzs production unit made up of chan, Changbin & Han) performed at the global citizen festival Sorry for the long paragraph but I really hope you continue to listen to Skz because they really are genuinely talented and also incredibly humble and funny

[@taianafraga4919]

and SKZ were the first KPOP group in HISTORY to headline in lollapalooza as well

[@WillyJuro]

Perfect explanation! That guide gave me second hand embarrassment because it’s so not for first timers🤣 To add on to the competition question you can say it’s all kpop groups because they are trying to be the best! They should def listen to 3racha!! All the different sub units! But the most important thing is a proper guide🤣 and listening to FAM can help too!

They have no labels, because they all rap, sing and dance like pro. They self producer and write almost all of their music, They have 3 units, 3racha (rap), danceracha and vocalracha. If you want to learn more, search a quide to Stray Kids 2023

[@tosinojo7310]

They have no labels, because they all rap, sing and dance..That is not true...there are main rappers, main vocalists and main dancers within the group. even though they are all multi-talented. Some are better at some things than others....

@@tosinojo7310 Yup. I.N ain't near Han, Changbin, Chan's level of rap. Seungmin ain't close to Lee Know, Hyunjin, etc. dance etc. etc.

[@StaySiren]

I’m not sure if you guys know anime at all, but the LiSA featured here is like… the anime opener queen. She did the intro for Demon Slayer as one of the most easy recognizable ones. The guide was bad enough I skipped it. Charmer is an amazing song, but that’s a fan-made video. I’m going to recommend a trio of unit songs where they broke into 2-3 member groups and wrote new songs together: Red Lights, Surfin’ and Gone Away.

[@ayvidyan]

Lol for that guide it looks like a fever dream. I was laughing so hard that vid is so unserious. Ace means - he excels at everything, he can sing, dance, rap and make music all at high level. Every member of Stray Kids are all rounders and can pretty much sing, dance and rap but Han just does it so well. I was laughing at the asexual comment although nothing wrong with that. Also Stray Kids does not consider BTS as competition they are their senior an older group who come before them and respect them a lot, fun fact one of SKZ member Lee Know was a former back-up dancer of BTS. Most competition are actually because of fans, the only competition is when fans want their group to win in an award or break music records. Idk how you guys choose vids to react to but the charmer one is a fan made vid compilation of their other videos and you did cut Felix part in Top Line hahaha. LiSa is one of the most popular anime OST singer most people confused her for Lisa of BP when they saw the title haha. Hope for more Stray Kids.

[@tatushhimekuro]

Hopefully they start to do vids start to finish without clipping.

[@SKZWatchParty]

Basically any performer you have, even in the UK, will wear make-up. You all had Queen, David Bowie, and Elton John (to name a few) paving the way with drastic make-up and costumes as far as the popular music scene is concerned. It's just part of the industry 😊 As far as European interest -- they headlined for LollaPalooza in Paris with over 60k people attending. European fans have been BEGGING them to add more tour dates in the area.

[@wrenouttatime]

England is really in a crisis right now with gender roles and it shows. They need to get with the program and throw gender rules out the window. Makeup is fun.

[@nbucwa6621]

@@wrenouttatime Exactly the fact that Kpop is way less rigid in gender expression (at least in entertainment) and them having so many hardcore fans is connected. "In England you HAVE to be masculine" is a social issue not a flex.

[@oddsocks2]

I'm hanging in there for the guy on the right's enthusiasm...the toxic masculinity of the left guy has dragged this reaction and the one before it down immensely. The assertions that "young girls who like 1D" are their audience and that they mustn't be popular in Europe because ~~make up really shows ignorance and it's disappointing tbh.

[@yggirlgroups]

Maknae - youngest member Bias - is how you call your favorite member Bias Wrecker - is how you call your second favorite member, or like, someone who steal your attention and make you "forgot" about your bias All rounder - is how you call a member who is good at everything (sing, dance, rap) Ace - is how you call a member who is good at everything, but not only good, he has to have high quality in everything (sing, dance, rap, visual, song writer, producer) main - is the best at their position lead - is the second best at their position sub - is the third, someone who is good at their position, but not amazing like the others Fotg - means "Face Of the Group" is the most popular member in a group Visual - is the most beautiful member according to koreans, the member who fits more in korean standards Center - is the member who balance the group, he's always on the center of the choreography and is the member who always stands out in a music video

[@TeeW2023]

Just a correction to the main, lead, and sub descriptions especially with singing: while someone who excels at singing may be the main for example, that is not exactly the meaning. The main singer gets the most parts and/or sings the main part of the song. The lead singer starts off most of the songs. The sub comes in with the sub vocals. While it makes sense that an excellent singer wouldn't usually be sub vocals, sometimes they are because they focus on something else more like dancing. It's more about distribution and role in the song rather than skill.

[@stayisherehihihi]

OH this is so helpful for those new in kpop😂

[@Diana_-tn1no]

I'm only here for stray kids but many others will probably be interested in other groups. I would totally be down for solo songs tho. Here's the song recommendations for every member: - Han: "miserable" -Lee know: "Limbo" -Bang chan: "connected" -Seungmin: "Hold on" -Hyunjin: "contradicting" -I.N: "Maknae on top" -Changbin: "Streetlight" -Felix: "Deep end" These are my personal recommandations and you can always take other songs but I think these suit your taste best. And like you noticed Stray kids has a huge and mostly loyal fanbase. I guess it's just something about their personalitys and their self-written music. Stray kids and BTS are really not comparable since BTS is a completely different generation and more like people Stray kids would look up to then a competition. BTS existed much longer then them, so it is given that they are more famous. And by the way, would you mind just not editing the video? I know you don't wanna be "boring" by repeating parts but I honestly just see it as being dissapointing for people wanting to see your reaction to their favourite part, even if you don't say anything.

[@jekgetsw2428]

Yeah, BTS are their "elders" and a generation above them. Most K-pop groups actually just praise each other, and there is normally no bad blood between them.

[@sylvielebrun1733]

I’m here for Stray Kids, I tend to not watch reactions that mix different groups in one reaction.

[@vinamossy5490]

KPOP groups don't beef with each other and actually really respect each other while the FANS unfortunately are known to fight with other fandoms. Of course not all fans are immature and toxic like that.

[@JAMoore-zz3ki]

@13:32 when you start listening to Charmer......be aware that's a fan made video. There's no official M/V for Charmer.

[@Nico_Robin1030]

Social path is a song that Bang Chan (the leader of skz) wrote about his 7 years of training to become an idol; he talked how his mental health was rlly bad in that time period and how he gave up his childhood to become an idol (in mind that only the best can debut and there is alot of competition in South Korea). He met Han and Changbin after 5-7 years of loneliness and them three created 3racha (the producing team in skz). LiSA is a really popular singer in Japan, she usually sings Anime ost, one of her popular ost is the opening of Demon Slayer. Also i really recommend watching ‘The ultimate Stray Kids guide 2023 guide’ by teanosuga. Its more informative and talks more about the facts about each of the members. Ace in Kpop means that the can perform vocals, rap and dance at an exceptional level (so basically good at every position in a kpop group). Han is known as the Ace of 4th gen kpop because not only his is one of the top 10 fastest rappers, he hits most of the high notes in Skz songs and he has really powerful and natural flow to his dancing as well. He also is apart of 3rach and produces/writes songs alongside with Bang Chan and Changbin Skz solo songs (some members have more solo songs than the other members, but all of these songs came from the Skz Replay Album: Connected - Bang Chan Limbo - Leeknow Doodle - Changbin Love Untold - Hyunjin RUN - Han Deep End - Felix Stars and Raindrop - Seungmin Hug Me - I.N Songs i recommend: 3racha: The song only consist of the producing members in Skz (every in stray kids has produced/composed/written a song). The members are Bang Chan, Changbin and Han. The song has Uk drill rap vibes to it and is such a bop. Really recommend it. Muddy Water: The song has 4 members who are in the rap line. The song gives of like old school rap vibes, and the melody is really authentic and very catchy. Also the raps are undeniably catchy and flowy. The members: Changbin, Han, Hyunjin, Felix. Superbowl: The song has all the members. Its an English song but they have a Japanese version of Superbowl along with a music video. The song is a bop, thats all i gotta say. Easy: This is a song i definitely think you need to react to. It is definitely so good and catchy and i think you’ll enjoy it. Slump: Slump is a very underated song when it comes to reactions. It has all the eight members. It has an english version you can listen to. It has electric guitar and the song was written by Han. Similar to social path but Han’s perspective of how hard and challenging it is to be an idol, and how he was in a slump and couldn’t produce music and felt like giving up. HaPpY: The song is written by Han. It has a more of a sad love song typa vibe to it but with like kinda emo side of it ig. But it is rlly good. FAM: All 8 of them. The song is just a really boppy song just about the members, describing them as their ‘Fam’. That was alot of information but i hope you can continue your Stray Kids journey. Also Stray Kids is releasing an album scheduled to release on 13th November 2023 called (pronounced Rockstar) and we’d love for you guys to check it out. Btw the Stray Kids fandom are called Stays. 😅😁😁😁

[@dewimaheswari8509]

regarding the make up on boys, no, they dont use it in their daily lifes either.. only when they perform.. just like when you see an actor about to go on stage.. it is called art and it is just part of the performance

[@nbucwa6621]

But some of them do use it more often outside of performance to some extent (natural look so it's not always noticeable) and that's okay too.

[@mishad6161]

oh lord, that guide was… 😭😭 certainly something there are way better ones out there, and tbh the short ones usually do a weird job at introducing the members in an artistic light the guys are really goofy, but they’re also incredibly talented! i don’t know why so many guides don’t show that, especially when we have so many behind the scenes of their recording process, their live stages, their songs and vocals- idk! if you don’t wanna do a super long guide, you could listen to a solo song from each member to kind of get an idea of who they are musically and individually anyways, i’m here to add on to the huge amount of comments LMAOO 😭😭 thanks for checking them out! they have lots to offer

[@Resistance_Is_Futile1of3]

I am glad you are enjoying your journey into Stray Kids. I just want to pass on a caution warning from Stay GolyenHighway: - One thing you need to understand about K-pop. It stands for Korean + Popular. It's not just one thing. It's a vast array of genres put together in various ways. Every group will have different ways of blending those. Almost every song will have vocals & rap in different parts. All of them will have dancing (except for the K-band groups). - BTS and BlackPink are from the third generation of K-pop. Stray Kids are in the fourth gen. And each generation of groups have different overall sounds, due to what is more popular at the time of them singing/making the music. Styles & techniques will differ, & groups will evolve with the times. Some groups will find a style & sound that works well for them, & then never change it more than small tweaks. Others will be completely different from when they first started, & continue experimenting. - And before this happens, don't compare groups. Comparing groups is always a tricky thing. Fandoms can get up in arms over the slightest things. So....Best not use one group to compare to another. EVEN if you are saying nice things. Put it simply? It's like someone talking you & one of your cousins (or friend) & relating every thing you do to the other person. "Oh. You do such & such? Just like "other person"." "Oh. So & So did such & such so much better than you did." "I like how you did such & such, just like So & So did." That kind of stuff breeds resentment & also invalidates any accomplishments that each have done. So, yeah. Comparing groups isn't great, even between a group's members. It just kinda sets Fandoms off & creates fan wars.

[@vidiaparamaatmaseeker2130]

I am a stay. Please don't put skz in competition with any other group. They like to win but don't ever put down others.... even if they could, they're just too damn busy being on their own beat. On another note BTS are in their own league. They are responsible for a significant amount of South Korea's GDP, which is an insane concept. Able body men are required to serve 2 years in the military so that is what has put them on hiatus. Plus they are senior to skz and most koreans are big on respect so they wouldn't go there besides Chan would never allow or condone this. (Besides "Army" are scary. ) Black Pink are in the same seniority category and also help make kpop a global phenomenon.

[@Sorikee]

The fact that Han forgot he wrote Secret Secret will never get old. Also Ace is just a term that means their an all rounder, they can sing dance and have really good visuals. Okay originally there was 9, Chan was the one that chose them all during a survival show held by JYP, two were eliminated and then brought back (won't tell you who). One left amid bullying rumours which they were cleared off. It was a hard time for them all and it shows in their music around that time. Bang Chan/Han and Changbin are the main writers, composers and producers for their music but the others more recently have started writing more of their own music too, Limbo being written by Lee Know and Deep end by Felix. Oh and the Lisa your think of from blackpink is not the one in Social Path, LiSa real name Risa Oribe is a Japanese singer who has done a lot of anime opening and closing songs

my god i could write an ESSAY on topline, but i’ll try to make it as short as i can. so first thing is talking about Tiger JK. he’s credited with being one of the people to help bring hip-hop to being mainstream in Korea in the 90s. he’s super influential in Korean music, so it’s really cool that the boys got to work with him. since their debut, skz been told that all they do is make “noise music”, to which they basically said “yeah but aren’t you still here?” (i.e. Gods Menu, Cheese, Thunderius, Topline, etc). one of my favorite things is the lines “i’m counting wins on the grand line/…/can’t pass me in the red line” because it’s a nod to one piece (anime for ppl who don’t know) in which the Grand Line is where most of the story takes place (“counting wins”) and the Red Line is a boundary that is impassable. so they’re essentially saying that they’re still winning and no one can match/pass them. this goes kinda hand in hand with yalls comment about other groups, because skz are 4th gen kpop. a lot of people try to discredit them because of fanwars with bts fans (3rd gen) and other 4th gen groups (also amazing but i don’t feel that they’re on the same level atp). the closest i would say would be tomorrow x together who also performed at the vmas & headlined lollapalooza (Chicago), but skz has tons of awards & headlined lollapalooza Paris (& tons of other stuff) while not having the same amount of support from the Korean audiences. they’ve been bigger internationally than domestically for a while, but the Korean fanbase has been growing recently!! essentially the song is them not needing approval from the industry and will keep redefining their legacy as they push higher without anyone being able to be bigger than them. including Tiger JK on the track is just another way of saying “this is how big we are” to the industry that has not shown them much love before!! sorry this was so long but i hope it helped a bit!!! i know some people miss the one piece reference but i thought it was so genius to include!!!

Individual songs to check out I hate to admit-Bang Chan Deep end-Felix Limbo-Lee Know Happy or Alien-Han (both are great, couldn't pick) Streetlight-Changbin (this song technically also has Bang Chan on it, but he only sings the last chorus, otherwise this is my favourite song written by Changbin) Love untold-Hyunjin Stars and Raindrops-Seungmin Hug me-I.N

[@rue289]

the secrete to having that stay love....dont be fake, be honest we wont hate you. Your funny cause you are noobs. I laughed when you called them clapped. I came back for the honesty, dont be fake please.....love Stay.

[@AmalaFrequents]

They actually do some kpop music festivals in Paris quite a lot. UK is a bit behind on kpop but it's huge in most of Europe. Tbh you need to watch a longer guide to really get to know much about the members, but you should know the fanbase does not like people saying one member is better than another, because to function as a team they all have to be equally good at their own parts, and Chan, the leader, used to do weekly livestreams and would be very upfront about how all his members should be respected. People do have things called 'biases' which is kind of like your favourite member/ just the one you click with best. Bias is a term used a lot in kpop, and people can have a bias line (several members) and bias wreckers- which is when another member just takes you out in a track or performance. Kpop in general blend a lot more of what over here might be considered masculine and feminine, but that's mostly because we're a bit slow getting over ourselves here. In Korea 'skinship' or physical affection between men is so much more common, as is complimenting each other and stuff. There is a social hierarchy system so you're supposed to respect elders and if you are male, another male older than you (in the context of a kpop group) would be your 'hyung' / brother. The hyung has a sort of duty to look out for and help educate the younger, and often 'dongsaengs' (the younger) will act a lot more cute and affectionate towards a hyung that can contain elements that seem quite flirty coming from our perspective. Having said that as a group Stray Kids are extremely close and known in the industry as being very close and affectionate, and they flirt with each other as a love language sometimes so if you watch their stuff you'll get used to it fast. I found it so refreshing getting into kpop and there was so much more healthy masculinity than it felt like over here, but it sounds like your area is particularly bad. LiSA is a really famous Japanese singer, not Lisa from Blackpink. When it comes to kpop groups there is competition between fanbases for awards and stuff but the groups themselves all tend to be friends. South Korea isn't a huge country, and most kpop groups really respect each other. BTS were one of the first ones to really make it big and crack the global market all over which is why most people know them if they don't know any other groups- but kpop is so varied different groups have different styles and sounds people have their own preferences. A few of my favourites would be: Seventeen 'Super'; Kiss Of Life 'Shhh'; Ateez 'Bouncy'. I think Ateez made it onto the UK album chart high up with their recent album. They're kind of similar to Stray Kids in vibe so a lot of Stray Kids fans will be Ateez fans and vice versa. They're different, but they have a similar energy and outlook.

[@StayHappy4SKZ]

These guys seem to have a small mindset. I think reacting to kpop will help with that. As long as they keep the reaction respectable even if they dont vibe with every song I will keep watching.

[@you3.14]

the problem is that they dont bother to search for anything

[@StayHappy4SKZ]

@@you3.14 I bet they have plenty of Stays letting them know. I was pretty ignorant when I first came into kpop as well. Sadly if they don't change their ways though and put a little more effort in. Their views will dwindle I've seen it happen enough times.

[@lyneytb9118]

In Topline the lyrics "Grand Line" and "Red Line" are referencing the manga One Piece, Grand Line is the Ocean with the most famous pirates in the world so they have to beat them in order to become the king of the pirates, and Red Line is a part of land that boat cannot cross. So in Topline "they're counting wins on the grand line" and " they can't pass me I'm the red line" come from this. Stray Kids are anime fans lol.

[@Iseyyesi]

I'm telling you, theres no other group doing it like straykids, thats why us stays (fandom name) are so passionate about showing others who Straykids are. I suggest yall listening to 3racha by 3racha (the producing unit in skz), Back Door, Venom and FAM so y'all can get to learn they're names :)

[@miao541]

If you like the pop punk/emo/rock sound I recommend Xdinary Heroes, they’re a 6 member band under JYP (the same company as Skz). They play instruments instead of dancing and they’re relatively new so they don’t have many songs but what they do have are great! I recommend watching Break the Brake, Pluto, Strawberry Cake and Good Enough. They show the variety of their music :) they also did a cover of Welcome to the Black Parade (if you really want the emo)

[@missymae8333]

Stray kids actually make a point to highlight mental health and stigmas, again gonna rec silent cry and star lost (kind of a response to silent cry) and youtiful. I don't th8nk id call youtiful an emo song but it's about everyone going thrpufh things, but you are each individually beautiful for being you and getting through it

[@you3.14]

girl dont waste your time, this guys do not care about these types of music, they only want views

[@permatagunung4500]

If you guys want to know more about Stray Kids and the members, I will recommend that you guys check out the content posted by your fellow Brit @TeaNoSuga Reacts who made a complete guide on SKZ. Quite a long guide though, prepare your popcorn and drinks.

[@hortbeck]

Dude, they all have solo songs that are good, don't say something without checking first

[@mixedgems]

I think others have said but this is not the best guide as a first introduction to the group. It really plays on inside jokes a lot so it's a better guide for later in your SKZ journey. The other thing to note is that culturally it's not as socially taboo as it is in western cultures to be affectionate as men but in our westernised cultures, however, some things, like grabbing butts are another of their in jokes. These guys are very close and I believe their own managers have "complained" sometimes they are too inseparable. Anyway, I find how they interact quite fascinating because you can't get to where they are if you are not a tight knit group able to break through any conflict for the ultimate team good. Enjoy your SKZ journey. Keep an eye out for their new album (comeback) on 10 November.

[@Kingyeonjun4thgenitboytxt]

I recommend you the ultimate guide STRAY KIDS 2023 teanosuga please 🙏🙏

[@okie6293]

I agree ! The BEST guide

[@n2sunset]

you realize that all performers wear makeup for performances, right??

[@vinamossy5490]

6:18 & 8:46 I get that the guide you watched wasn't very helpul and chaotic but it still irked me that you were surprised by certain members being seen as a "main guy". They are all "main guys" and all extremely talented. Real STAYS love them all equally and even though we have biases (favs) we still dont discredit or disregard any of the other members. Please keep in mind that each one is an individual with their own personality and their own strengths.

[@emiixly]

as a british person, loads of british people love stray kids

[@stay0186]

Quick advice!! When you look for a guide, the long ones are always better (talking about information and funny stuff). I know that it can be a lot and maybe boring (?) at the beginning but they are WAY better and less cringy for someone who is JUST entering the kpop world.

[@TheCutestChris18]

Thank you for giving Stray Kids another chance! Hope you can react to more of their music!

[@daya_09]

an ace is someone who is a great singer, dancer, rapper, writer and producer

[@mayzaiz]

There are alooottttt of kpop groups. So you'll probably not get round to all them. But some of my fav kpop songs are: Lion by (G)I-DLE 0x1=Lovesong by txt Secret Secret by Stray kids Ditto by newjeans Those are only a few tho 😭 And if you guys wanna learn more in depth abt the group I definitely recommend Teanosugas 2023 guide. There's a lot more info abt the guys and how the group became a group. Cause this guide you watched is just kinda funny clips You guys picked a fanmade mv for charmer btw. Quite a few songs don't have mvs. All their mvs are under the JYP account or Stray kids (japanese or normal acc)

[@you3.14]

a fear they dont know what a bridge is...

[@izbellahumaira]

OK ATE THIS my fav content from yall definitely subscribing

[@amyw2475]

I wouldn't recommend comparing groups or just annoys the fan bases and that can actually get kinda messy which is pretty stupid but it's true. Also they do have a UK fan base.

[@raubberduckrafi7179]

22:49 on the contrary I think skz acc have a huge English fanbase, maybe due to the unique characteristics of their songs

[@itsmie4eva]

Let’s go Stray Kids 🎉 appreciate your support and reaction 😊

[@leelourai]

Thank you for you reactions ❤ But please you cut an important moment in TopLine 😭😂

[@SKZWatchParty]

Cut right before the Felix drop 🤦

[@islapowell4532]

1:29 if we actually hit 50k like you HAVE to go to a South Korean Festival and vlog it for us🔥🔥

[@yongboksswife]

also the stray kids fanbase is called 'stays' not 'strays'! but thank you for another reaction :)

[@yongboksswife]

it's not the Lisa from blackpink, it's a japanese solo artist. she's amazing!

[@afoolforskz]

england probably has to start normalising with men wearing makeup then bcs wearing makeup doesn’t make u less masculine, it just makes u look better and more confident

[@afoolforskz]

in south korea it’s totally normal for men to wear skincare and makeup. that’s why their skin is clean and they look flawless

[@hoolaboola2689]

@@afoolforskzskincare is not less masculine. you are right. but make up is.. any guy who wears it willingly is at least a little bit less masculine 😅 that’s the truth

[@afoolforskz]

@@hoolaboola2689 no its not.. even with skincare you can’t cover your blemishes sometimes so putting a little bit of makeup can cover it. and makeup can make you look manlier too like how korean men do their eyes to look more bold and sexier lol its basically just drawing on your face so idk how is that makes u less masculine

[@lily125]

Kpop has generations so it is hard to compare between them. BtS is gen 3, an older and more established group but aging out as they are now coming up to their mandatory military service (2 have already enlisted). SKZ is gen 4. And this Lisa is not the Lisa from Black Pink. This Lisa is known for all her anime songs

[@yongboksswife]

the video you watched for charmer was a fan made music video including clips from other videos. this song doesn't have an mv as it's a b side but you should watch a performance video as the choreo is soo good

[@JAMoore-zz3ki]

More emo Stray Kids songs: I HATE TO ADMIT (

[@crabon8172]

They sell out standiuma in the US. I drove with my adult daughter 11 hours to see them in concert in Atlanta and 9 hours to see them in NYC at the Global Citizen Festival. They have a huge global fan base. ( Felix and Bang Chan are Aussies and speak English as a first language. Members also speak multiple languages including French, Japanese, and more)

[@jekgetsw2428]

I know you guys understood it as K-pop being a single genre, but a fan of stray kids does not mean a fan of K-pop. I adore Stray kids but I've never called myself a kpop fan. Just saying this so you don't assume we all like Blackpink and BTS since you're using these groups in your discription :D

[@desmeisme]

5:37 I personally love seeing them wear makeup, I think it gives gorgeous aesthetic with their music concepts, but also I think they look gorgeous with it on in general. I’m from California and I’m 23, never did I think (before the pandemic started) I would find Kpop interesting but now it’s been almost 3 years since I’ve discovered Kpop, and honestly when you first get into it, and your foreign to Korea, it may come off very feminine and or gay but it’s really not. Also it’s almost 2024 being gay/bi/ whoever is not a bad thing. Be true to you regardless and love yourself. But anyway. If the idols don’t like it or prefer it tho, I think they should have a choice on it, but if they like it IM ALL HERE FOR IT. Like I mentioned I’m 23 and living in California so I am high right now legally on weed so I really hope this made sense lol. Basically I love stray kids, yes you’ll find some feminine behavior to the outsider eye, but I think it’s super cute when they are cute with each other. I love seeing guys be able to act so close and not make a big deal over it. I get close with my girlfriends all the time, I’ve come to learn this behavior especially from changbin and Felix is like puppy love. Now even I have 2 small dogs who both were puppies at the same time growing up with each other and I’ve learned their behaviors are completely different. One’s very cute and beautiful and you want to give him affection but he’ll come to you when he feels like it otherwise he’ll start biting like a brat lol. And then my Kodi who’s the cutest baby who only wants to give affection non stop and wants the belly rubs. He a baby. I’ve literally had Kodi jumping on me to give me kisses at the same time shadow was literally barking and biting me out of jealousy. Sorry idk where I was going with this lol

[@undercover_idiot]

Also y'all are playing with fire comparing the groups hey 😂. Glad you're enjoying the reactions though. A lot of fans can be intense but it's the nature of this industry.

[@mandypinguy]

Most kpop bands are chill with each other and some times even good friends but the problems are mostly between the fans 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@RM_formerlyjustRMbutYTsucks]

We pointed out the problem with cutting MVs in the first reaction. They did the same thing in this one. Kind of feels like it might be pointlessly setting myself up if I go for a third chance. Maybe I'll read the comments on the next one without watching first, and the moment I see "they cut the video again," I'll know not to bother because the reactions are for views and subscription collecting, not interest in the music. We'll see, I guess.

[@jjtaetae5953]

As soon as they say "give us x likes and we'll do another" I know it's for views and subs. Just react to it because you like it or it has sparked some interest

[@mileyscool97]

I just watched the first SKZ episode and came to watch the second. I just realized half way through that it was just posted 36 mins ago lmao LETS GOOOOOO💙

[@TheChick24]

The ace of the group means he's good at everything. A jack of all trades if you will.

[@3rachaslay]

Stray Kids and Stay (our fandom name) we do get a lot of hate sometimes! Stray Kids music is just really different than other Kpop songs and believe it or not that's literally one of the reasons why they get a lot of hate but the main reason is just jealousy because of their success (especially internationally

[@yongboksswife]

you should watch the 'FAM' music video by stray kids, it sort of introduces each member as they each get a verse about themselves!

[@Shames.321]

Charmer was actually a mashup of all their music videos which I found really cool! I also recommend the song FREEZE the beat drop is insaneee

[@Ellen-rr5ww]

If you wanna check out more of their songs,I would recommend: Thunderous(really popular) Miroh(their first hit) Back Door(also really popular) Maniac(also really popular) Venom(really cool vibe,MV looks like an action movie) Mixtape:Oh (something calmer) all of theses songs have a choreography -If you wanna check out choreographies: Back Door Gods Menu Domino Venom Hellevator (2023 ver.) Performances: Stray Kids MAMA Awards 2022 Stray Kids Kbs Music festival 2022 performance VMA’s 2023 performance Hyunjin’s Studio Choom dance performance (Motley Crew Cover)

[@WillyJuro]

The members don’t have many solos, they do sub units aka 2-4 members each in a song, and “SKZ Record” which are songs they cover from other artists! But they have an album called SKZ Replay that they each have a self written solo for! I’m write each below: Bang Chan: Connected Lee know: Limbo Changbin: Doodle Hyunjin: Love Untold Han: Run Félix: Deep end Seungmin: Stars and Raindrops I.N: Hug me Disclaimer you may not like them which is fine I personally don’t like some, but do be kind!😊🫶🏾

[@tatsumiyin1923]

STRAY KIDS BEST GROUP OF KPOP FELIX AMAZING VOICE🌷❤👼🙋👍👑

[@BelBanks77]

There is 3 sub units in Stray Kids (Also known as STZ). 3Racha-rappers, song writers, producers. Danceracha-Main dancers who help teach the choreo and help make the choreo. They also do special dances at live events, or solo dance videos. Vocalracha-vocalist. 3Racha- Bang Chan (Leader of Stray Kids), Changbin, & Han (They were an underground rap unit before becoming STZ) (Bang Chan hand picked every member of STZ) Danceracha- Lee Know, Hyunjin, & Felix (They are also the visuals of the group) Vocalracha- Seungmin & IN They have all written songs, are all great dancers, can all rap, can all sing. Stray Kids are all multi-talented. They don't have titles such as "Main," "Sub," ect. And of course they are all funny, kind, caring, and just plain amazing. (Great looking also)

[@amyw2475]

This wasn't a guide it was just a fun video of them being silly. They do a lot of shows and skits that some of these clips come from. So you should check out an actual guide if you want to get to know about the group. Also the make-up thing is normal in kpop.

[@Kvmilla]

"Who's the best" We stopped trying to figure out because we learned it was impossible. They are all the best.😂

[@emilya1759]

You guys should check out 3Racha. Subunit made up of 3 members, BangChan , Changbina and Han who produce and write the songs for the group. They actually have a bigger international fan base. And have some songs inspired from UK drill, a song example being 3Racha

[@benedictaogana6426]

I live in the UK and I will pay for a vip seat in a heartbeat just to see this guys perform. They helped me bring back my love for music. Stray kids are different. I also guarantee that if they announce a show in the Uk it will be sold out ❤❤❤❤. Thank you for reacting to them😊

[@crabon8172]

Actually it is harder to do a song when you are jumping from person to person perfectly because every time there is a change there is a chance to miss the continuity of the song. When a single singer is singing he is less likely to miss entrances, going off key or changing rhythms or even volume. Not to mention when performing this they are dancing the whole time...hard dancing

[@krissitruitt312]

This is a different LiSA, she is a Japanese Anime Queen! Also, volcano By Han is amazing he is an Ace all by himself as well! So glad you guys found Stray Kids! Welcome to Stayville!

[@Imagen.143]

Ace is singing, rapping, dancing, visuals, producing music/writing, composing music ect

[@arshi.a]

ahhhh the intro to skz video was not the best choice but there are ones that are really well done and do give legit insight on them as a group and individuals!!! hopefully you get to watch one to get a better understanding of who they are and what they really do

[@chiuinpond]

You should listen to their album “Skz Replay” it has solo songs. Especially “Maknae on top” (Maknae= youngest of the group)
