Cover me, hyunjin went hard writing that song 😭 Also, could you guys watch another guide 🙏🙏 The one you watched last time sucked tbh, it was only funny clips. Picking short videos to get it in quickly isn't really helpful in a group with 8 members that have so much to them. So I recommend teanosugas 2023 ver, it long but really is gonna help u learn abt the members and their music.

If you don't like them switching from rap to singing then Kpop is the wrong genre for you...please understand i am not trying to be mean or rude at all but literally 99% of Kpop has rapping that goes into singing or vice versa. You get used to it the more you listen to it. Also yes this a rock star album..but Their "rock star" definition means to be yourself no matter what people think..enjoy yourself ..dress the way u want, paint your nails black if u want...enjoy your one and only life. Thank you for your reaction 😊

[@ICPhoenix7]

Our pleasure, thank you all for your support🤍🕊️ & i love that ideology, something we push on this channel too, BE YOURSELF dont worry about what prople think. Love stray kids for that👏👏

[@akiov]

ngl i didnt read all of this so dont @ me 🥹 but SKZ does have a few tracks that are more rap/hip-hop vibes over vocals. @ICPhoenix7 if yall wanna hear that vibe, give “Muddy Water” off their Oddinary album a listen, “3racha” off Maxident goes hard & “ZONE” off SKZ-Replay just to name a few

[@SSHDomi]

I fell in love with K-Pop the first time I heard it bc I just love rapping and singing

[@peeper5491]

They mentioned that they didn’t fully name the album “rock star” based on the stereotypical guitar and rock kind of music aspect, but more to reflect their own sound and their own versatility and vibe they’ve been consistently displaying since debut. To them rock star is more than a genre, it’s their aura and love for making music

Tbh, have a bit of a teeny bit of a “love hate” reaction to your reactions but in all seriousness, if you want to listen to Stray Kids, you are going to have to expect the unexpected and keep an open mind. They deliberately don’t conform to expectations and standards but their own flavour. They will switch up rap, vocals, beats, genres all one song. I never expected to like K-pop either at first but I love the energy Stray Kids especially bring as well as the beautiful vocals when they slow things down, and their often thoughtful, relatable, empowering lyrics. If I recall they sing they are “not different but unique” in Comflex. It is a cultural adjustment and I appreciate that you are open to listening and learning unlike some reactors who insist they sing in English or stop wearing makeup (it’s just part of how K-pop works). There are other K-pop groups you might prefer because they have a more mainstream melodic sound such as TXT (who I enjoy for their different sound, no disrespect to the group at all so no hate from MOAs please). By the way, I love Cover Me for all their gorgeous vocals, as well as Megaverse despite how different they are. Thanks for keeping it real, guys.

[@noydbnoydb9402]

I'm the same, but for me it's the not finishing the song for me. That drives me nuts, it feels like the interest is really there, just eager to finish asap.

[@nbucwa6621]

I would honestly say that skz is not for people (not talking about these two reactors now but in general) who are closeminded about music and only interested in listening to one sound/genre. Part of the reason I love skz is because their discography is so diverse. You never know what to expect with each album and they don't shy away from experimenting with different genres, even crossing cultures, in one song. I listen to a lot of western music of different genres and I can say that I've seen the backlash that bands face when they try to move away from their previous sound that fans were attached to. It can be brutal. Which makes Skz pretty brave because they are willing to risk the loss of their original audience in order to keep pushing the boundaries of their own sound rather than just replicating the formula of whatever music has brought them the most success (tbh it would be so tempting to just keep remaking "god's menu" but packaged differently and try replicate the "hit" they had with it for example). Taking these risks also shows skz's trust in their fans that stays won't abandon them but are open to their experimentation. Stays are crazy but I love that we are always ready to try something new and embrace the experimental element of skz instead of bashing it like I've seen countless times with other artists' fans. We really allow Skz to take us on a journey to wherever they feel like and just enjoy the ride.

[@kiaretts1102]

@@nbucwa6621 I agree, and I think part of it is also that from the start Stray Kids “educated” their fans to always expect the unexpected. Each of their vocal qualities are so different from each other that putting them together could have been really hard and not ideal for a K-pop group, but they manage to transition into one another in a very harmonic way. So they were “unique” ;) from the very basics, and they also always experimented. Their true cypher, so to say, is that their songs are artistic collages of different elements, be those different genres, or beats, or voices. I don’t know, but for me, you either hate it or love it, or you start from hating it and end up loving it, but there’s never a lukewarm middle ground.

Highly recommend: “muddy water” and “3racha” for a more rap heavy feel “Never ending story” and “waiting for us” for more vocals “Time out” for a pop rock feel “Freeze” and “taste” for a more edm/synth drop love your reactions! thank you for supporting and giving stray kids a chance!

[@xuan_xuan054]

oh forgot to say Muddy water, 3racha, waiting for us and taste are sub unit songs, meaning that for these songs only a handful of members are on the track. maybe you could react to these as well as their solo songs!

[@cuppyloop]

TIME OUT and all time FAVOURITEE

[@lella1213]

The first part “welcome to the stray Kids hot Megaverse” sang by Felix which you did not quite like, was intentionally done that way. Rather than changing the beat at the start of the next verse, they chose to change it in the middle of the verse (Stray Kids are innovative and not afraid to experiment), but I see like it might not sound”right” to some. Switching from rap to vocal is also intentional and Stray Kids are one of the best in making it seamless, it provides the listener with a respite from the beat and it enhances the impact when the beat returns. I recommend you listen to those songs a few times to see the value of it. Kpop does that a lot, so you are out of luck if you don’t like it, sorry! Cover Me is one of my favorite songs in this album!! Stray Kids are amazing producers.

[@nbucwa6621]

I'm learning so much in these comments even as a stay. It also didn't sound right to me.

[@your_fav_multistan]

Exactly! Like? Ppl just out here reacting and calling whatever they want. Nobody's asking them to like the music, but can't they use polite words? And if they don't like the switch from Rap to sing, vice versa, they shouldn't even try kpop 🤷‍♀️. Most of the groups do that, but since majority of stray kids' songs are rap heavy, they find it not impressive. Also in megaverse, "han carried it" wdym lol, every member shined in every song. Imagine taking all your time to produce something, and then random ppl just coming and calling the music "ass". Like 🤷‍♀️ Nobody's asking you to like it forcefully, but where are the etiquettes lol

[@iramx8]

(referring to the song cover me) "this is part of a rock album?" idk where most got the idea that rockstar was a "rock album" lol in their intro (video where they talk about every track) they clearly explain they don't think of the word "rockstar' as the typical headbanging type of rock that everyone knows. the term rockstar means something completely different to them and that's why songs like "cover me" and "leave" are in this album. and yea the word rock is literally on the album name but cmon now atp we should know stray kids always bring something new to the table.

[@NatEnjoysFanlife]

"Being honest" doesn't mean being rude or tactless. I know you guys probably think it's necessary to be so radical in your judgement, but being disrespectful towards a song when you could just say "It's not for me/my preferred style" is disrespecting an artist's work, and that's uncool for anyone out there. "Noisy" switchups and especially melodic parts alternating with rap is Stray Kids's brand and they've gotten enough hate and complaints for that - and it's also very common in kpop, so you probably will have to get used to it and talk about it in less condescending terms if you plan to continue reacting to that genre :))

[@J_young_824]

Haven't you notice? They keep saying "this isn't for me" "this is not my style". They knew Skz genre, If they are already aware that their style in music is transitioning rap to vocals and vice versa then why still react to skz? If it wasn't their style? Their just a bunch of clout chaser. Actually skz has a song for this kind of people. "Why" 😒 please don't react to skz if it's not your style. Smh

[@SKZemiliaSTAY]

For alot of StrayKids music you have to listen to it a few times before it truly hits so I'm sure if you give MEGAVERSE a few more listens, you'll notice a change in your perspective. I'm a hardcore StrayKids fan and I love ALL of StrayKids music but I don't love every song at 1st. For example, I wasn't sure if I liked BLIND SPOT and COMFLEX at first. By the 3rd listen I was jamming hard to them and I truly love them now. StrayKids describe their music as "funnily annoying but addictive" which is definitely a true description lol. Changbin said if your 1st reaction isn't "wth is this... but why do I keep wanting to listen to it?" then it's not a StrayKids song lol. They pride themselves on their unique, strange, "noisy" sound and refuse to conform to mainstream music standards. That's why our fandom loves them and resonates with them so much. Also the fact that their lyrics are very relatable. I hope you give the songs you're unsure about a few more listens and just see how you feel and if you come to a different conclusion later. I'd be curious to see if your opinions change over time like mine do 😉.

[@sacred_grove95]

I have to agree with this. As much as I love Stray Kids the some songs don't always hit the first time and I'm like this song isn't for me...a couple of listens later I'm like I LOVE THIS SONG! 😆 But this album was a banger. The rock ver. took a minute but I love it just as much as the org. now.

[@megand2994]

This is so true bc the first time I heard S-Class I was like 🤨 but I think I may have listened to it nearly every day since release by now lol (and also ITEM is my fave song but defo didn’t love it on first listen)

[@chieyoen]

Agree, some songs I love instantly, some needs a few listening, some takes more time. I need 2 years to like Side Effects, Cheese & Christmas Evel 😊 What's amazing is that with Cheese & Side Effects, even if I deemed them too noisy at first, those 2 keep on the back on my mind & I even thinking about them from time to time.

[@yongboksswife]

please stop saying chan looks like James Charles 😭

[@NamGiJinS]

All I have to say is, Stray Kids is def not for EVERYONE and you can dislike their music and that’s that, but I will say that when it comes to SKZ they have said themselves that their music is “petty” or somewhat playful/annoying. Their element is being unpredictable and getting stuck in your head, so on the 1st listen you may think you hate it, but you find yourself being more and more absorbed and attracted into their sound and all of sudden it’s like “this isn’t even my music taste, why do I like this..?”, and that is the “ annoying” aspect of their sound. That’s what they themselves have described their music as, and I would say it couldn’t be more true. They can be jarring to listen to for someone who isn’t familiar with them, as they have a very unique sound, to the point they created/pioneered their own genre called “mala taste” and never follow the norms, but somehow we all end up slowly but surely becoming stays when we realized we have been caught in the trap of their sound. Once the song hits, there’s no going back, you can’t unhear it even if you might’ve though otherwise on the 1st listen.

[@ikeusgirl]

since their debut in 2018 (actually since hellevator which was their predebut song in 2017) until now, stray kids is the only group that i can listen to all of their songs without skipping any part bcs their songs and style of music are different from others. they are one of a kind. literally the kings of 4th gen groups

tbhh almost, if not all, of Stray kids songs include that switching back and forth between signing and rapping. It's honestly what draws a lot of stays in to the fandom. Stray kids make loud music which build up momentum and catches you completely off guard when the rapping abruptly stops and switches to soft melodys. Their songs are always so upbeat and chaotic and its rare to get songs like 3rd eye, Hero's soup, and There which are very mellow and calm skz song's. It happens a lot in their most popular songs like S-class and God's menu. Honestly, Kpop groups as a whole often do this so if ya'll don't really like it then the kpop genre is def not for you😭 I luv watching your reaction's though frfr (even though yall skipped like half of blind spot WHICH WAS A CRIME LMFAO)

[@BeccaFaye1314]

Cover me is definitely my favourite from the album. Hyunjin and Bang Chan wrote a beautiful song. All 8 boys, including the 4 main rappers, really prove they can really sing too. Seungmin really proves he deserves the label of main vocalist with that drawn out high note and Bang Chan follows him up proving he's an underrated vocalist who, as the leader and main producer, usually takes a backseat to let the other boys really shine, but is still very capable. I love the rest of the songs though. Megaverse and Leave took a couple listens for me to decide whether I really liked them or not, but they have definitely grown on me. Lalalala has become my favourite song to put on while working out and cleaning right now, it's so high energy. The 4 solo songs you haven't heard yet that you need to hear are Lee Know - Limbo, Felix - Deep end, Seungmin - Stars and Raindrops (I prefer Here Always from Seungmin but that was a song he did for a k-drama, not a solo song as a part of Stray kids) and I.N - Hug me. (although I prefer Maknae on top from I.N but that song features Bang Chan and Changbin, so it's not a solo) Now I mentioned earlier that all the boys proved they can sing, if you want to check out them all also proving they can rap, check out Maze of Memories and FAM.

[@bad1788]

I actually didn't realize this at first until i watched the album intro but its "rok' star its actually the chinese character for pleasure. So they are playing around with the rock genre but the album is more about pleasure or like being who you are. So they kinda made some songs that they've wanted to. The album intros are interesting if you're into that kind of thing.

If you really want to understand Kpop you must do your research and watch their masterpieces being created

[@MISSYGful]

Fellow Brit here. The thing I LOVE about Stray Kidz is that they do mix it up, play around with genres, bend the traditional rules. THAT'S what makes them great. They are literally creating their own genre. Not just creating guff but producing top tier next level tuuuuuunes. Their lyrics and videos are layered and meaningful. You might want a group that's more...formulaic? Popish?

If the main stray kids music doesn’t resonate with them, point them to other tracks, we have many to choose from. Or even point them to a group with the sound they seem to like. No need to be negative and tell them that kpop is not for them, when the genre is so broad. God Bless♥️

Agreed stays should chill but the problem isn't disliking the tracks. It's acting like a song is objectively "ass" just because they don't like it. It just shows ignorance and closemindedness. Not bashing them but they should reflect on how they engage with music that isn't their preference. That's why I prefer watching reactions of people who are actually musically trained or have a background in music, they tend to bring a better understanding to a song than "I didn't like it so it sucks". There's so much depth to this ish (not talking about skz specifically but artistic production in music in general). I do actually like these guys so I'm not being negative and I hope they keep listening to music outside of their regular scope because it will definitely help them build a repertoire to reference from when engaging with art that doesn't cater to their preferences.

[@kris10renee15]

@@nbucwa6621 my perception of them saying its “stray ass” maybe differs from what the majority thinks. They did follow up by saying it’s alright and complimenting han’s rap. So I didn’t think much off it outside the fact that its not their sound. But i feel you

[@zuzannabrzeszczak1578]

They're straight up bashing and disrespecting Stray Kids and their work, it's so fckin obvious that they do it for clout. You have to be equally blind and stupid not to see it. 💀💀💀

[@svpuiayt4623]

their rockstar album has a few rock concepts but they said that the meaning of rockstar to them is to make it hit people emotionally i think like with the sad songs and with the upbeat songs to make them 'feel the rock' and start dancing slong n shenanigans like that best album rn for me. u should listen to their skz-record playlist its mostly solos n that

[@lovezabby5325]

I’ve said it and I’ll say it again kpop is not for British people, you guys just don’t get it and that’s fyn I live in the UK so I know what am saying, SKZ is not the group for you “emo” type shit is not what you should expect from stray kids cus there’re more upbeat type maybe try listening to tomorrow by together in short (TXT) then you’ll find the “emo” type music you like. and NEVER compare Bangchan to that man ever again. Peace👍

[@missv9101]

i like that you guys give your genuine opinions on how you feel about songs whilst staying respectful; some people may get antsy about it but its not gonna change how you feel so don't let their opinions get you down at all :) keep making awesome reactions guys, much love from a long time STAY

[@GolyenHighway]

To explain what the album title means, you have to understand that Stray Kids like using homophones. Those are words that have different meanings but sound the same. The title actually has the Chinese word for happiness/pleasure. But when pronounced, it sounds like rock. So this album is Rock star, or pleasure star. It's all about emotions. From the in your face ones, to the quieter sad ones. Every song is written to play on an emotion....Or several in one go. Oh. And fun thing....Stray Kids don't actually swear....Even though we heard what sounds like "shit", they wrote the Korean word for "shh". "Swit". It sounds almost the same, and they can get away with "swearing" and not get in trouble. I think Bang Chan got extra inspired by one of their junior groups Xdinary Heroes. They have a line in one of their songs that goes "If you seek it, Why Owe You?" Just say that line fast & you can see how it sounds when they sing it. Especially when they slur "seek it" together.

[@pinkblood-SKZ]

thanks for your reaction! ❤❤❤ I love skz 💖

[@liza_pet]

OMG Literally every day, Seungmin's voice is a discovery for me, every time his vocals open up from a completely different side, I just will never stop being amazed and admired. How masterfully, beautifully and skillfully he owns his voice, his amazing stability and most importantly, the strength, power and range of diversity of his vocals. Seungmin from the "angelic voice" turned into a real diamond not only for STRAY KIDS but for the entire K-POP industry as a whole.

[@stillastrayyayayaya]

Appreciate your reactions but I really think you guys should have reacted to the Prologue Video to Rock Star before going into this one! The references would have helped you get an idea of what Rock Star as an album is truly about. (btw, I'm surprised you both didn't pick up on the Dark Knight bus reference in Lalala). FYI, the album may be called Rock Star but it's supposed to be *"rak"* which in Chinese means *"pleasure"* (yes, although they are a Korean group, they take on different references which are inspired from different cultures). So it's a play on the word- "rock". They play on this word in their title track, "Lalalala" as well cause it sometimes sounds like they are saying "rak rak rak rak". In the Prologue video to Rock Star, they reference 4 Chinese characters which are sorrow, anger, joy and pleasure. These represent the emotions one feels when going on stage to perform for the first time like a school kid performing on stage as a part of the school marching band. Plus, they also take on references to Japanese folklore- "Umibozi" are the giant sea monster like creatures seen in the Lalalala MV. It is believed to be the souls of drowned monks or individuals who perished at sea. Overtime, fueled by resentment, they emerge into the bald headed, black eyed sea giants. So the reference to these giants in the MV adds an entire new layer of meaning cause it could mean resentment as a result of fears which turn into anxiety. That's why all this is important to understand Rock Star as an album, because it's not your regular Rock album. It talks about embracing your passions through seeking pleasure in the little things.

[@nbucwa6621]

Damn, ty for this. I'm an international fan and still new (about a year) as a stay so even though I tend to watch teasers and prologues for better context, I still miss a lot of subtleties. When consuming another culture (even if just musically) so much gets lost in translation. It's really cool when people take the time to explain the cultural context behind certain choices and inspirations that a foreigner wouldn't intuitively pick up.

[@Resistance_Is_Futile1of3]

Very well written and easy for non and babyStay to understand. Thank you for this and I hope you save to share with others in Stayville.

[@sploentje_143]

Bang Chan: leader, lead vocalist, dancer, rapper Lee Know: main dancer, sub vocalist, sub rapper Changbin: main rapper, sub vocalist Hyunjin : main dancer, lead rapper, visual Han: main rapper, lead vocalist Felix: lead rapper, lead dancer Seungmin: main vocalist I.N: sub vocalist, maknae

[@K4tavis]

You guys should watch their Dance Practices😭🙏🏾 the MV are all over the place cus of the visuals but if you watch the Dance practice you only get them dancing and singing and it’s fire

[@cherrymin226]

The name Rock-Star doesn't mean it's about rock or only rock music they themselves said Rock star for them is someone who can be "FREE" ❤. every song has its own meaning aswell :) like the LALALALA describing 4 different emotions anger, happiness, sadness and pleasure with can be seen disappearing throughout the MV and much more♡ but i appreciate you reacting to straykids :D

[@yongboksswife]

Thanks for another stray kids reaction!

[@liza_pet]

I sincerely apologize but the voice Seungmin's "something that cannot be explained in words-you can only feel" one note of one second is enough and the heart jumps out of the chest and tears flow only he is capable of it. Seungmin is one of those few vocalists who touch the most remote corners of your heart without leaving anyone indifferent.

[@straykiss_woo]

Leave is literally so heart breaking, I can't. Other songs like this in their discography are Sorry, I love you and Ex. Changbin and Chan always are writing the saddest songs 😭

[@simplyknight1871]

Cover me is my favorite from the album, very sentimental man.

[@Felix_Lost_His_Frnds_Egg]

I thought I was the only British who likes Stray Kids 😭

[@sanako03]

A few years ago I would have agreed with you. The switch ups are what kept me from kpop for a looooooong time. Rarely, but sometimes I still find it annoying when I'm vibing and they start singing 🤣 it takes me out of what I'm doing. But The Kids are what keep me listening. I like them and their ideas so i stick around lol Thanks again for an HONEST review (i feel like most aren't). Hearing non-kpop fans listen helps me understand what songs to show my friends that also don't listen to kpop! I wanna show The Kids in the best way possible 😆👍

[@undercover_idiot]

I feel like your friend doesn't fully grasp the skz concept 😂, which is ok. It's not for everyone. (He actually looks kinda annoyed/confused with the music at times lol) Y'all should probably try out other groups?

[@victoriarosenberger2716]

Stray kids are not only experimental with blending vocals and genres (which not everyone likes), but their music also holds to a lot of traditional asian elements. It's like language (grammar, sound, tone) but even further. Victor Zuckerland wrote "we can translate from any language into another language; yet the mere idea of translating, say, Chinese music into the Western tonal idiom is obvious nonsense". It's like taste in food- even if you went out for Thai, it will likely be a blend between what you'd normally find there and what's available in your own country. These comments aren't objective. If only commenting on subjective topics, it's cool to say "I hate the style, it's not for me" but simply insulting the work really demonstrates a lack of understanding of... well, anything outside of your immediate surroundings. It's like going to eat Mexican food and a dude at the next table is going "this restaurant sucks, it's nothing like Taco Bell." Or: it's like saying blonde chicks are ugly. Just. No. That's not how preferences work. Opinions are fine. Focus on critiques, not insults. Feedback will be far more positive. Good luck.

[@Jiiiiinibaa]

Bro what Straykids is so good..😭

[@KeiraLillian]

I’m so happy to see none K-pop fans listen to K-pop and give their actual opinion because usually people judge it cause it’s in a different language or because it apparently not cool to listen to it because when people think of K-pop they don’t think of rap or the stuff stray kids produce they usually think of bts or mostly girl bands so thank you for giving your actual opinion 😊😁

[@llya3612]

FINALLY !! You should listen to Silent Cry and Winter Falls ! also VENOM hits different 🔥

[@noelle-m2i]

I really recommend their songs ‘Mirror’ and ‘ITEM’

[@kizzyycat6574]

As a british person who used to HATE kpop and even the thought of it, it was actually Stray Kids who changed my mind and now i wouldnt go back to the normal boring pop charts. You need to be open to the singing aswell as the rapping.

[@zuzannabrzeszczak1578]

Alright, let's get one thing straight; DON'T YOU DARE COMPARE BANGCHAN TO JAMES CHARLES. Thank you. Second, I think you should stop listening to K-pop; it's obvious that it's not for you, and you're forcing yourselves to react to it. Third, listening to SKZ is an experience - they're one of the most experimental groups, not just in K-pop, but overall. You will never comprehend their music if you keep comparing it to the generic, washed up Western standards. Idk, this is my first time on your channel, and I'm already itchy. Don't think I'm gonna stick around. Peace out.🖐🤘 P.S It's sad and disappointing if you feel the need to use another artist's music for clicks and views. That's disrespect on another level.

letsss go lol ive been watching yall for the last 3 weeks.... content has be awesome.....welcome to Stayville...I loved this album due to the mix of feel/vibe

[@ICPhoenix7]

Awhh i appreciate you fr, let me also welcome you to the phoenix family🤍🕊️

[@islapowell4532]

Bangchan was missing, Han was the star of the album

[@Skzarmytiny]

Im not sure if you guys know this but you can put captions on CC and theres a english translation. But it is called kpop for a reason because it's KOREAN POP but other yhan that i reccomend listening to girl groups

[@innacraine]

Fans Stray Kids always watch album and song releases to understand their philosophy and meaning

[@ilvostrocarodextereal]

If you don’t like the switch from rap to singing then I think stray kids are not the group you should react too since people who listen to them like this.

[@eka8744]

“han, i think this is han” i hate to break it to you but

[@seochangbinsarms]

Beat changes and going from rapping to singing is extremely common in kpop, even more so with stray kids so that’s just smth you’ll have to get used to I guess

[@saeedtalebipoor2831]

Why u skip guys 😂,plz Check out LALALALA Rock version guys that hits different

[@peeper5491]

was looking forward to you guys reaction the most, surprised u did the full album instead of the title track only which I very much appreciate 🙌 looking forward to more love ur honest reactions hope u enjoy the journey to stray kids!!

[@ICPhoenix7]

Awhh this comment made my day, n yhh we hear socialpath on the previous episode + but the rock version ill put my hands up we should’ve checked out. And yes WE ARE ENJOYING THE JOURNEY!!!, new EP coming soon…🤍🕊️

[@hyunlix_frr]

if you want an all rap song you should listen to heyday (prod. Czaer) its only rapped by 3racha (Han, bangchan, changbin) but it actual goes so hard. One of my favs for sure

[@YangJeonginsBread]

By the time at watched the video, another album has come out called ‘ATE’.

[@rigorstyx]

If you like more rap focus - Doodle, Hey Day and Zone, these are rap heavy (well pretty much it’s just rap).

[@innacraine]

The Chinese character in the title of the album "rock" also means "pleasure". A game of meaning

[@allhailthemightypear5734]

Heck yeah

[@katsonco276]

the fact that they skipped the ending of blind spot CRIME (& most songs 🥲) lol please just watch the whole videos, skz is different 😅😇

[@CeexCee7]

STAY...chillllll....they are just getting into kpop so the switches sound different but the more they listen and learn they will learn...let them say what they like and don't like...they are not even being rude

[@meryemmarie8343]

Guys, if you don't like the transition from rap to vocals, you won't like K-pop in general because all the groups have this characteristic because not all of them are rappers and not all of them are vocals💀This is something you should have known since you started reacting to K-Pop
