Just to understand how many double meanings and metaphors are in this song, there is a 50 minutes explanation video made by a korean youtuber. Korean has a lot of words that sound the same but mean completely different things and basically most of the lines have a double meaning to it. You watched the lyric video which is not really an accurate translation but for example "I got it" in korean can be read as [agari] which is a slang for the word mouth. This song basically is basically Han accepting his mistakes and growing from them, acknowledging the fact that everything he puts out is self composed or written. Fun fact this is more impressive thinking that Han is 21 y old and has 100 songs that he written,composed or produced himself. It's also a diss to the haters that are telling him how to do his job and in the end of the song he's basically mocking them and [beolroya] or the "star in my heart" line means the anti fans became his fan in the end anyway. Han is a lyrical genius in my opinion and genuinly an ace. Like he can rap like this and in one second he can switch and belt some of the highest notes in the group, he is super versatile too. Strongly recommend checking more 3racha songs. Song like P.A.C.E, Runner's High and Zone by 3racha I feel like they have a grime influence or so I think. Also strongly recommend checking all of Han's solos, amazing vocals and lyrics. Here's the link for the lyric analysis of "I got it" if you're interested to know more: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IPM3FjETnrA.html Thank you for this amazing reaction!🔥🔥🔥
Did anyone else catch (or know about) his reference to his unreleased rap track SCISSOR ✂️ when he says "I'm a SCISSOR " not everyone knows about that track but you can Google the live performance of it. It's sick, he's so frigging fast. 🥰
well, han Jisung is well known for using A LOT of wordplay in the lyrics of his songs, that's why they are so hard to translate, there is a video on yt of someone explaining this song lyrics and it lats more than 40 minutes😭😭 han is amazing
you’ll hear 내가 (naega) all the time in Korean. It essentially is an equivalent of “I” in English so is used a LOT. It caught me off guard the first time I noticed it too 😅

Man, I don't even know how many different words they have for "I" and "you", it's crazy.
This track was released as a shade about MAMA apparently (a music awards show), back then Stray Kids wasn't nominated in ANY category, but they were invited to promote Kingdom there (a competition reality between groups) with an amazing stage. When MAMA was being aired, Bang Chan practically confirmed it, because he did his vlive and played I Got It, saying that Han must have his reasons hahaha
Super cool reaction!!!!!! Also, its good you're looking into what his lyrics mean because Han is literally a lyrical genius, a prodigy, AN ACE!!!!!!!! (He's been given these titles by his respected members and by the media) Please listen to "We Go" by 3Racha as well, that song is toooooooooo good.
I'd class this more as straight k-hiphop which has more space to stick it to the system and flex a bit of anarchy. But Stray Kids definitely bring that same vibe to their k-pop tracks. It's really cool to see you open your mind to new genres, i went through the exact same process after my daughter got me hooked on this scene.
8:56 Tl:dr; Even though they are backed by a big company, Stray Kids have been in charge of their music and their sound basically from the very beginning. That's why they have such diverse music; when they want to try something new, they just do it and it always turns out great. I'd say that for the most part that is the case. Stray Kids was the first group I knew of that was afforded major creative liberties, especially in the production and writing of their songs. I think Seventeen also have control over a lot of the stuff they put out, but I don't think that was always the case. Stray Kids have essentially been in charge of their sound from the beginning, and they're kind of unique in that way. They actually are backed by one of the biggest idol entertainment companies in Korea, but when the group was formed the Boss said he wanted to try something new with them. (They even used to joke about how JYP, the Boss, was so far removed from them and their stuff that he only really talked to Chan about what they were up to since he's the leader. I don't know if that's still the case though.) There's a whole survival show they had to go through, if you'd ever be interested in checking that out in your own time.
Concuerdo, ya había oído algo de Seveenten. Esto me trae recuerdos cuando JYP hablo con los chicos de que quería hacer música con ellos y les enseñó su "track" creo, para ver si les gustaba a SKZ y ellos aceptaron, a los pocos minutos JYP se los envío rápido por si se arrepentian de trabajar con él, el resultado es "All in" jajajjaa me causa gracia
I totally agree, Stray Kids hit different than most kpop groups because of the mere fact that Bang Chan picked the members himself, made their logo, created their sound, and all members fought for their position against the company from the survival show the company held.
The final put is that those two things "you're not good/you're a star in my heart" sound similar in korean :D so someone was shitting on him but it just sounds like they love him :D
I recommended you to reacting skz "domino english version", you'll never be regret to hear their rapping in english bc it sounds same like they are rapping in korean. Oh, and also "Charmer", that is my fav song in oddinary album.
I think what you said at 8:24 about bias against kpop is totally understandable for most of kpop groups because they mostly perform songs that were given to them. But there’s more genuineness in skz songs since they have the artistic freedom eventhough they also come from a big company.
I also think, Stray Kids hit different than most kpop groups because of the mere fact that Bang Chan picked the members himself, made their logo, created their sound, and all members fought for their position against the company from the survival show the company held. Its kind of funny how even their boss, JYP himself is actually nervous when talking with 3Racha, and giving out music productions for them to try since he knows Stray Kids can do basically everything themselves.
Thanks for the reaction! Han is such a versatile artist and deserves a ton of respect ✊ Knowing that you prefer rap songs: Skz’s Double Knot, All In and Any are super awesome songs. But my favorite song of theirs is Rock and Silent Cry
Yeah sadly a looooot of kpop groups do sing what their company gives them so there is nooo sincerity in their music so that’s why groups like skz are much more appreciated and u’d often see their fans talking about their music lyrics hiw they relate to it what they tried to say…
I'm new to K-POP and I doubt I'll get into it anymore, I only follow it through Stray Kids, of course I've seen one or another K-POP video but it never caught my attention as much as Stray Kids did, it's the only group that I can call a real band, that creates their music and I can connect, I'm not saying that it's the best or the only one in the whole industry that makes music because I think there are also Seventeen, they collaborate a lot with their music, however I don't I connect with other groups.
Teddy your synopsis of how your own bias before k-pop and now has transformed which encourages the rebellious streak in their songs. It's been a pleasure to view your reactions. Hopefully you keep doing more of Stray Kids. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
You weren’t reading into it too much! Also Han is known for his wordplay, this is actually a diss song to a broadcast station who’s snubbed them multiple times
Thanks for reacting! Can’t wait for more! And don’t apologize for having Changbin as a bias, it’s totally understandable I mean have you heard the man?!
Others have mentioned "I Got It" being wordplay disguising "agari" (and I mentioned it myself when I added my voice to recommending this song in a different comments thread). To clarify further, while technically, yes, it's essentially a vulgar term for "mouth" (kind of "animal mouth" or "stinking mouth"), and it's part of a common longer phrase that translates along the lines of "shut your mouth because it stinks," the connotation is getting slightly toned down in translation. "Shut your mouth because it stinks" is rude, but that's about it; you can say that. What's getting lost is that, in context, this is harsher; it's along the lines of "shut your f*cking mouth" -- which you definitely _can't_ say in kpop. Hence one of the reasons they disguised it behind slurred English. The industry-enforced restrictions they have end up getting worked around by the cleverness of their lyricism and bilingualism. As for grime, the similarity here is intentional. 3RACHA is well aware of multiple forms/styles, and Chan (as well as possibly the other two, but I only specifically remember Chan rn) specifically appreciates grime and is a fan of at least a couple UK grime artists. And he produced and arranged this track, as well as co-composing it with Han. Virtually every line in this song is wordplay, so when he says "magazine," it's almost guaranteed that he means both types that you mentioned. Han and Changbin are masters of wordplay, puns, double entendre, and that element is a core part of their lyrics. As other commenters have mentioned, there's a lyrics breakdown for this song that's close to an hour long because it has so many double and triple meanings and idiomatic references and whatnot. Others explained the "star in my heart" pun. What I don't think got mentioned is that the last bit, with the altered voice, is him imitating the voices of the haters, many of whom make snide little comments against him and pad their BS with culturally approved phrasing so it sounds like them simply being "helpful" or "honest."
I actually love how all of us have different theories about their lyrics and MVs. No two stays will tell you the same interpretation of the skzverse unless confirmed by the members.
Ahhh so glad your reacted to this one! It's a favorite of mine. I recommend Streetlight by Changbin, Alien by Han, Easy by Skz and also Wow(Lee Know, Hyunjin and Felix)

The special thing about Han is that he is very good but he is not yet at his full capacity. This guy has an insane vocal registry and he is not even throwing it out there completely. There is some crazy stuff waiting to happen I'm sure. Also YES I also never would have thought that Kpop groups could go against their company and Stray Kids definitely do that - CONTINUOUSLY. When I heard their Gone Days track I was shocked to my bones. They are basically roasting JYP, like, seriously. The thing is -and this is a testament to how professional the company is- they were allowed to use that track and actually were given a music video that left no doubts as to who they were roasting. It's pretty impressive.
Ok but I LOVE all the random insights you’ve put into this video. Like people shouldn’t be so serious, and K-pop isn’t what you thought it was (it was the same for me). Mad Respect
Under the original track video on Stray Kids' RU-vid Channel it says that Han wrote the lyrics, Bang Chan and Han did the production and Bang Chan arranged the track. Just in case you wanted to know :) *also about the independence of Stray Kids as artists under their label: Stray Kids (the memebers) were chosen by Bang Chan himself which is very uncommon in the industry, so you have a point there. It's also the reason why they get along well with eachother and work well together. Their label was hesitant at first about them making their own music and they do regulate it to some degree for company image reasons etc. However their label also knows that us fans love them for THEIR music and personalities. So yes they do have more control over their creative work than most other groups.
Finally 🔥🔥🔥 one of my favourite solos from skz! I recommend to check his more vocal songs as well to see his duality and talent (my favs by him are "close" and "alien") you can even react to both of them in one video, because they give you a specific feeling and mood, so it would be great
_writing this before watching_ I searched this reaction specifically because I NEED to know your opinion (it's one of my favourites, idk how but every time I listen to it, it surprise me how much of a banger it is).
The wordplay line is 'ijen neo byeolloya nae mam-e byeollo ya' and its just because byeolloya (not good / so-so) sounds exactly the same as byeollo ya (star, ya) :)
Hi Teddy, I leave you here some songs that I like a lot and I hope you like there are of various genres haha •VICTORY SONG (STRAY KIDS) •DARK ADAPTATION (GWANGIL JO) •INDIGO (JUSTHIS) •STOP THE RAIN (DAY6) •SWEET CHAOS (DAY6) •WONDERLAND (ATEEZ) • MAKE LOVE ( GRAY , ZION.T) •COMES AND GOES (HYUKOH) •POTENTIAL (D.ARK) •TELEPHONE REMIX (PH-1) •NO SENCE (SAM KIM, CRUSH) •ADVICE (TAEMIN) •CELEBRATE (ATEEZ) •RED SUN (HANGZOO)
It's interesting that you brought your previous thoughts about the labels and companies because like every other industry, the K-pop industry can be really fucked up sometimes. These companies do have the tendency to restrict their artists and their art because in Korea the people who got a close eye to K-pop are very opinionated and ruthless, so the labels -- always thinking of money and popularity -- restrict their artists. They have to follow a lot of rules and all, and it's kinda sad when you think about the whole thing because... yeah, we have to make some sacrifices to get somewhere, but sometimes I feel like they don't have the freedom that they should have as young adults and artists. That sometimes contribute to dehumanize them here in the West... people love to call them robots and manufactured artists... which sounds a lot xenophobic and racist to me. The music industry in the West have several cases of power abuse by labels and management... look at Britney Spears, Taylor Swift for example. But anyway, Stray Kids always had some type of creative freedom when it comes to their music, since the beginning. Bang Chan, their leader, literally chose the members himself (and that's not common, it's always the company that chooses between trainees who's going to debut or not). Also, they always produced their own song which doesn't sound like a big thing to a lot of people BUT it is in K-pop since these big labels have producers of their own to producer songs or even hire someone from outside which... AMAZING, to be a performer is also a very hard job, to sing, to dance and all of that.. But SKZ doing their own music adds flavor to the whole thing, you know? It seems more legit.
One of the most famous hits of the king of rock 'n' roll in an unrivaled gorgeous, phenomenal performance by Diana Ankudinova ( 18 y.o.) Can’t Help Falling in Love (Elvis Presley / DARK VERSION cover) Please react to Diana Ankudinova ! Meet the singer with the most unique voice (dramatic contralto with polyphonic overtones), reactors call her the goosebump queen. "Together with her tessitura, it identifies her potential voice type as dramatic contralto, the deepest, darkest, and most powerful contralto voice." (Wikipedia about Diana) Full vocal range - 4 octaves. The number of reactions to Diana exceeded the number of 12 thousand reactions. In my playlist section there are 3 playlists (5k+5k+2k reactions each).
Thank you so much for reaction! Love it. Honestly SKZ are lyrical genius. Every one of their songs have double entendre and very poetically written. I enjoy it so much. I wish Han has this kind of songs more.
Thanks for the reaction!✨👌 I love how stray kids really punch conformity in the fast, one of the reason I love them✨ There passion is so admirable too🔥 Sorry that so many people in ur comments have been so judgemental & hard on u in the past, it's definitely not alright😅
I just found your channel and I’m hella enjoying your mad appreciation for Stray Kids and their production creativity, lyricism, symbolism, the messages they put into their music… I’m sure anything you suppose in trying to decipher their meaning was wholly intentional on their part. Half the time I don’t even have to know the lyrics to understand the message because they’re so good at incorporating it into other elements of the tracks. It’s refreshing to see a reactor break down what they’re seeing and analyzing. I’ll definitely be watching your other videos and looking out for new ones.
I absolutely love you! Every time I watch you, you have something so intelligent and elevated to say about their music. You dive deep into their work and that makes the difference! This is all Han, everything they do is produced by 3Racha with help from producers on certain Tracks. This is all Han though. And no your right, no one can take a joke anymore. The world is riddled with not enough breathing room these days. But yes, 'Neaga' means "I" or one of the ways of saying "I". I also love the fact that you acknowledge SkZ taking on the Industry with the rebellious nature and doing what they want. It also makes a big difference and why they will always stand out and why you always notice the things you do about them! I love that
i've been going through your entire stray kids reaction playlist and honestly having SUCH a delightful time watching you get to know these guys and their music. i don't think i'd be wrong in saying that you're exactly the kind of person they were hoping to reach with their music: the person who might have thought it wasn't for them, wasn't their thing, but you tried it, and stray kids rewarded you with something you genuinely couldn't find from any other group. and i genuinely love that you took a moment to acknowledge your own sort of unconscious biases about the genre. stray kids in particular really atively try to break down a lot of assumptions about what kpop IS as a genre, or what it should be, and it's so cool to see them have so much impact on someone. it's always fun to watch someone new get into a group you really love, but getting to watch someone really go on a journey like this with them is something really special.
thank you so much for this comment! they really did challenge my perceptions from day one 😂 I was so reluctant to even listen to kpop because I’d heard it was all just pandering to girls, and whilst some of it definitely is, the majority of it is extremely well thought out and organised! I listen to them on a daily basis and I don’t think I’ll ever stop. They just give me everything I personally need from music 🤌 Thank you so much for going through the journey with me! Hopefully you’ll be around for their next comeback because I always do live Premieres for Stray Kids reactions! The community we’ve all built on this channel through skz is pretty magical 🥲
Hahahaha this rap is the GAS for its own FIRE, so glad you got to witness this bro. If you wanna continue the solo train, you could check out Hyunjin's Artist of the Month dance solo where he slays some choreography to Post Malone's Motley Crew. If you want more 3racha, you should check out MATRYOSHKA! If you want a suggestion for the next Stray Kids song, definitely either EASY or MIROH, ya boi Changbin got sick bars in both.
The song is full of korean puns and word play. The main one being in the hook. Han's pronounce I Got It as "Ahgari" korean word that means mouth (negative/harsh slang) mouth meaning a stinky mouth (for talking sh*t). Han is really the ace of 4th generation. He is a lyricist, a producer, a vocalist, a rapper, a dancer. He really is everything.
LET'S GEDDIT LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO The pun at the end is with the korean word "byeol" which means star. When you want to say that something or someone is so-so you can say "byeol-loda" basically he said "you're so-so but you're a star in my heart" double meanings! It's like complimenting but not really 😭 I get what you said about being reluctant to kpop. It's a very competitive and harsh world with lots of control. I think it's great for you to start with STRAY KIDS but I want to tell you that they are quite an isolated case. In fact, they come from a big company in the industry and the big boss in well known for being a control freak but STRAY KIDS are so good at what they do. From producing to writing lyrics and being rebellious that the CEO is kinda "scared" of them. The members know where they want to go and what they want to do that JYP (the boss) kinda let them be and don't mess with their creative freedom. However, it's not the case for every group under the label JYP. One of the saddest cases must be GOT7. The group is from the same company as STRAY KIDS but for many years they had been under the control of the boss. The members that wanted to produce songs were often rejected by the boss. They didn't had that creative freedom. For lots of groups it's the case. The only group that I know has full hands on their works is SEVENTEEN. They produce their songs, make choreographies from start to finish. They are what we called a "self produced" group. I hope you'll be able to check their works too.

I know right! JYP has a soft spot for SKZ and especially Chan, I think. When I heard Gone Days and saw the music video, I was assured that he not only leaves SKZ be but also actually supports them! I don't think any other CEO would allow that track come out. JYP really impressed me with that one. Maybe because he is so full of himself that he doesn't even care :)
@ Idk if we can call it a soft spot. I can't understand this man and I don't want to. I just don't like him. I'm just glad he's leaving the boys alone and respect them as artists. As long as the boys can do the music they want it's fine. I don't want another GOT7 2.0 case 😅
Thankfully Jackson Wang got to be his own producer (I don’t know about the others because from the few songs of theirs I went through, that’s not my cup of tea). I am full-on obsessed with his last three songs, which also happen to be the ones he considers “100% himself”
You're right.....most groups are somewhat controlled by their management company....but JYP has allowed BangChan and the rest of the group free reigns which is unusual. Maybe this is why they are absolutely FANTASTIC.
i looooveeee your skz reaction its always so relateable and is exactly how i react listening to the boys, if you have the time, do react to “easy” its not their hard rap song but imo it is one of their swaggest song and my favorite one nb. changbin’s rap part in “easy” is so satisfyingly fast agdjanbah
3:55 the thing about Han Jisung is that you can ABSOLUTELY read into that much and more he’s king of double triple meanings and he really puts so much thought into his lyrics it’s insane.
if i had to guess, the word for "so-so" in korean (or a synonymous equivalent) is likely similar to "star" in korean. the phrase "star in my heart" could be like a backhanded compliment? along the same lines of calling people special snowflakes
I'm glad you noticed that this talks about his pace and I just wanted to let you know that there are certain words and themes that are recurring in stray kids' discography and one of the most prominent ones is exactly the word/theme pace lol, they always talk about running/living at your own pace and not comparing yourself to others. Their lyrics are what made me fall for them in the first place cause I totally vibe with songs about love and whatnot but sometimes you just crave something a little more meaningful than that and stray kids always provides it! Thank you for your reactions to them, I've been enjoying it a lot!
Greetings from Germany 🌸 I've started to listen and watch all your SKZ reactions. Momentarily I listened to HAN's I got it and your comments. You have over 140 reactions there and I am nowhere near the end. But maybe you would like to consider watching the 2024 SKZ introduction. Worth watching and informative, even though very long. Explains a lot about our guys. 🌸
Han is a part of 3RACHA the producing unit of Stray Kids. He’s a genius lyricist and just as insane as Changbin when it comes to riding the beat in unique way. Fans have been desperate waiting for him to release a song called Scissor cus man oh man his flows are just not from this world, listening to some snippets of it.
Please please react to changbin streetlight with lyrics, is the most beautiful song ever for me, this song is something else bro, you gotta check it out.
Loved this one! Han has amazing flow he makes it seem EASY! Also on the note of misunderstanding the Korean word pronounced "naega", if you don't know the language, then simply asking if that's what he said is fine. If anything asking for clarification is better so you know what your reacting to. Thank again for all these reactions I'm glad you're loving Skz! *patiently waiting for an Easy reaction*
Thanks for the reactions! Here are the songs by Han: happy, wish you back, alien, close Songs with Han and Seugmin: congratulations (cover Day6) Zombie ( also cover of Day6) Songs by Changbin: streetlight Changbin and Felix: I really like you Changbin and seugmin: piece Goodnight
To me, Han Jisung, is one of the best of the best lyrical genius that plays a lot with words. I always love reading the lyrics he makes he's like a lyrics machine that keeps spitting lyrics not just nonsense lyrics but lyrics that has deep meaning. He's also multitalented. I love to watch you react to more solo songs of han. I recommend close, wish you back, alien, and happy. I also recommend streetlight by Changbin ft. Bangchan
tmi : I GOT IT when you pronounce it fast it sound like 'agari' that's mean mouth in korean. There's lyrics : "I Got it close it because it stinks." That's mean haters should shut up bcs theirs mouth is stink haha what a great lyrics from han
The last line could mean tht there are alot of stars like billions on billions of em, but you are just one. You might be big but there are so many more like you. Idk just my opinion 🕺🕺🕺
Great reaction man, really enjoyed it! If you want to hear more of Han's solo work, his other songs are Close (has a music video but sadly no subtitles), Alien, Wish You Back, and Happy (those three don't have music videos, so lyric videos like this one are the way to go)
There has been issues with kpop idols saying the nword before but when you think you hear it in a Korean song it’s really “naega” which sounds a lot like the nword and means “i/me”
I enjoy watching your reactions quite a lot. I think a good % of it is because you don't edit them, and you have intelligent thoughts on something you're not familiar with; you try to understand and appreciate the music from different parts of the world and have an open mind. It's refreshing. 😊😊
you should definitely react to skz’ 'domino' !! unfortunately, we didn't get a musicvideo, but we DID get an unveil ! there are also plenty of color coded lyric videos like this one :) OH and there's an english version of the song too, i think you should check that out as well ^^
I've been waiting for this one 😁💯 loved your reaction and what you had to say in general. I felt the same way . If I could recommend something else from han it would be close and Alian. There is also a live performance from the halyu festival he did where he showed a yet to be released song called scissor. It's fire 🔥 the whole performance is 3 racha with each a 1 minute solo. I think you'd really like it 😊 lots of love
I love how he didn’t even react to bts yet he’s ALREADY fed up with armys.. leave that poor man alone he’s listening to music vibing enjoying and that’s literally all that matters
I agree, however, you also have to keep in mind that since BTS is more famous, it will obviously have more mature and immature people, which leads to these kinds of problems. Please stay, let's respect the other groups, we're not the best fandom either, let's just be family yes?🤗 Chan looks at us 👀
@@condorisurcosoani9379 I myself listen to bts and have been for years, and I used to stan them. I just want to insist on the fact that I did not insult any group and only said exactly what teddy explained in the video :)
