6:24 This is Seungmin. He is younger nearly 23. He has a downturned mouth due to having one jaw slightly larger than it should be. He has the unique vocal tone. 7:18 This is Lee Know, older, 25 next month. He generally has falsettos 9:02 This is IN. Youngest, very expressional face. PLEASE DON'T do an unhelpful guide on your own. We are all voyeurs here. We will sit through it with you. TEANOSUGAR s 2023 Guide is long but again, we will sit through it with you. We LOVE watching others loving the boys.
You said all the names wrong haha, but don't worry, it's a matter of time. Very good reaction, without a doubt this song is very good. If you have trouble remembering them I recommend the Stray kids FAM song that talks about themselves and each member raps about each member haha. I recommend the Korean version :)
Of you're looking for a guide, definitely Teanosugar 2023 is the one to watch, it's pretty much up to date and contains extracts of each member individually singing, rapping and dancing. Best way to tie in faces and voices. But I reiterate: Seungmin and I.N have super recognizable unique voice tones. Open your ears :) If you want them solo, you could do Lee Know: Limbo Seungmin : Stars and Raindrops, or the last one they released in August (forgot the title) I.N: Hug me Those do not have videos, though, they are part of the SKZ Replay album
Maybe watching some SKZ Codes might help with identifying the members? It might help you learn their personalities better, which will in turn help you recognize them. This song is definitely awesome. Actually have you done Fam (Korean version) MV yet? that might be a good one to do
Yes, for me it was watching SKZ-Code, SKZTALKER, the 9th and that type of content on their channel that really helped me to grasp who they are individually.
The I.N/Lee Know confusion seems to be a right of passion for most Stays haha. For me it was the cheekbones that did it for me and I was finally able to differentiate them. I.N has really high and defined cheek bones also more pointed eyes and smile (which is why he's compared to a fox).Also his expressions go from adorable and cute to stony in the blink of a second. Seungmin has a slightly longer face (from what I see anyway) and he has that wide open smile. Lee Know has a v-line face but a wider chin, also...thighs. As for voice, if one of them, the 3 of them, is rapping it's pretty much Lee Know (note, I miss rapper Lee Know and we need more of him). He also tends to have higher vocals than Seungmin, lots of falsetto. I.N also tends towards the higher notes, his voice is more piercing I would say, although his deeper register is REALLY nice and we've started to see more of it. Seungmin, well he has super smooth vocals, lots of depth. The part that starts at 4:58 of your video is a really good example, you can hear it in the way he sings 'down', oof shudders. While he does do higher vocals and falsetto really well, more often he's more focused on mid-range to slightly higher
This is such an amazing track!!! LiSa's voice is a great contrast to the guys' and I absolutely love it! It's OK to make mistakes when you're learning the names hehehe We've all been there, so no worries. In a couple of months you'll be able to recognize their voices when they sing heehhehe love your reactions!!!
I don't know if you have gotten any further telling apart Seungmin and Lee Know since this went up, but you consistently identified Seungmin as Lee Know and vice versa. It might be easier if you remember that Seungmin is primarily a vocalist and Lee Know is primarily a dancer in terms of training and preferred specialty. Seungmin has many more vocal lines in most of their songs, he has a very highly trained smooth, flexible light baritone with an incredible upper range that extends into tenor territory, and is often given strong melodic lines and bridges, his voice tends to show up near the beginning of the song. Lee Know often has a more husky, softer edged tone to his voice even though he has a higher range, with a lovely falsetto. He came into the group as a dancer, and he usually has the least vocal lines, most often he sings the second repeat of a verse or chorus. IN has a more nasal, piercing quality to his natural voice, very distinctive, and he is the other vocalist in the group after Seungmin. His voice shows up where they want the specific effect it gives, and in some of the lovely ad libs and soaring background vocals. Visually, Seungmin is thinner and more angular, when dancing he is often given moves with long lines and sweeping angular motion. Seungmin has a longer face, a wide mouth with relatively thin lips. Seungmin usually only takes center in the dance formation if he is singing, he is not as thin as Seungmin, gives the impression of being tall. Lee Know is very muscular, he dances with a hip hop style and a very relaxed feel, his moves are very powerful and grounded, and he can go from very soft relaxed feel to a very aggressive feel quickly. Lee Know is often in the center of a dance formation or the front three even when he isn't singing. He has small mouth with soft full lips, sort of bow shaped, and round eyes. IN has a very fox shaped face, triangular with a pointy chin, high cheekbones and narrow slanting eyes, he really does look like a fox when he smirks. He has fuller lips than Seungmin with more curve to them. He has a commanding presence and can look very stern. He's not as thin as Seungmin, not as densely built as Lee Know, and he gives an impression of being taller.
You should try to identify them by their voices rather than their looks, because Seungmin and I.N both have extremely unique voice tones, that's why they are the official 2 members of Vocalracha (while Lee Know is part of Danceracha bc he is Stray Kids dance leader, aside from being part of the vocal line). Seungmin and I.N both have featured in Lee Mujin's service show, where you can see and hear them solo in all their gloriousness. Once you have their voice tones imprinted in your ears, you'll never mix them up with Lee Know ever again, trust me. Another suggestion to confront them side by side all 3 together would be to watch a live performance or colour coded lyrics video of the unit song Waiting for Us, which features the whole vocal line: Bang Chan, Lee Know, Seungmin and I.N. it's 100% singing based, no rapping, and you can clearly differenciate them from one another sound wise.
It's ok to mess up as you are learning. You are slowly getting there. You are at least trying to get them sorted. You have a few already. Keep up the effort. It might help to watch a few lyric videos to get the voices sorted, and with how they show who is singing, and the pictures lined up, you can start to identify the members by voice, then face. Now. About the song. Chan has talked about how he wrote the lyrics for Social Path about his years as a trainee. Since he was a trainee for 7 years, he has seen a lot of mental suffering watching all his friends either debut without him, or get dropped from the programs. Chan has always looked up to LiSA & the Kids were very excited to collaborate with her. Let's see. Things I noticed in the MV. -The bag people seem to be representative of both faceless people who are both worshiping & hating at the same time, or inner doubts & thoughts that come when they are alone. -I.N is the first to stand against the tide of people & grasp the light. -Everyone stays isolated till Chan gets taken by the hands. They all had separate things happening. Being isolated, being stared at, being forced to constantly run, being chained in one place, etc. Then Chan is taken & they are suddenly moving. -LiSA seems to be a unified voice leading them in a direction. She has the lines " the ashes to prove my passion burning endlessly" (Or close to it....I am horrible at remembering exact lyrics) -When they are unified & moving against the crowds, the ones who are most able to withstand pressure without flinching are in the lead. (Lee Know, and Changbin are the most obvious at the front making a path for the others) -When they reach the wall Chan had been trapped against, they tear it open. There is only 7 of them when this happens....They are going through to reach Chan. (Chan has said in multiple instances that the other members have saved him. If it wasn't for them, he doesn't even think he would be on this planet) -When they are 8 is the only time you see them smile. -There are shadowy hands that are trying to touch Changbin in the beginning, and just as he wakes up you see clawed hands reflected in his eyes/the moon. -Felix's wing actually kinda seems slightly separate from him. Almost as if he has a guardian angel protecting him. It lifts & reveals him a little before starting to cover him again. -In the final dance scene, the only ones with no red in their outfit are Chan, Changbin, and Felix. I listened to someone explain that the colours kinda mean something. LiSA has a strong red & black theme. She seems to represent courage & determination. The others have red in their outfits because they gained those from outside sources. (Like the other members, or helpful people) The three who have no red are ones who already had those and didn't get them from an outside source. Changbin & Felix are the least effected during the MV. Felix already had an inner fire, and Changbin refused the shadowy hands. Chan was taken, but he didn't stop trying to escape. There are many flashes of Chan staring ahead, or jerking awake & not just allowing himself to be swallowed. You see him float above the people who took him, until the others break through to him.
LiSA adamas live if you want to see more of this style . Rising hope is also very good but you can see her high tempos and stage presence with it .. and if you find the right one she bangs the hell out a drum In her adamas performance
For people who aren't kpopers and only see a few idols, the faces of all idols are almost the same. Give good advice and don't be toxic to new listeners!
@HanaEka l wasn't trying to be toxic. This reactor has made multiple skz mv reactions, and l even asked if he had watched a guide in another comment. Usually, reactors welcome corrections, so it helps them identify members in follow-up videos.
