I LOVE THIS INTERVIEW! | Stray Kids' Bang Chan and Felix Catch Up with Eric Nam REACTION! 

Your mad reaction reminded me a lot of Bang Chan 😂 He never swears in front of the camara, but the way he expresses his anger when haters or crazy “fans” cross the line, is epic. I can see why he is your bias 🫣

Boy, slay. This is actually the reason why I watched your reactions, you are blunt and honest. It's fresh because so many reactioners seem to tone down themselves when facing such a big fandom, I am not sure whether their reactions are genuine or not. I want to see people who enjoy themselves when watching content in the way they like to do it, or objectively criticize and give their honest thoughts when needed. Big respect for voicing your thoughts!

I personally like that you talk and pause a lot because if we wanted to watch the real interview we could just go watch it. We’re here to see a REACTION which obviously requires reacting

You’re right about Felix😭he’s a hardcore gamer and takes apart and upgrades his PC in his free time.

yes, eric nam is an artist! got to see him in concert and he’s great!

Don't listen to those people who comment about how you should make your videos! Thank you for standing your ground! I love the way you make your videos. Cant wait to see your reaction to this video as well!

6:33 Eric is amazing!!! His songs are so catchy and his live performance was super interactive. I definitely recommend checking out his music, other interviews, and guest appearances either on your own time or as a reaction. 10/10 do recommend.

Eric is very comical. It was so much fun when he reacted to roasts tweets. Idol next door with stray kids was also nice interview

If you liked this interview, you should watch TheKstarNextDoor interview with Lee Know, Changbin and Felix. Sooooo funny

Don't worry about pausing and talking/ analyzing... ignore the stupid people.. Love your videos...

Same for me, stray kids just suddenly became my favourite artists. Growing up i never had bands or singers i was into because there were always songs i didn't like or i just didn't really feel a connection to them. Stray kids is the first group of which i enjoy not only all the songs but also their personalities.

Chan has a really charismatic energy and humour about him, and it's so much easier (for me) to see when he's speaking english just because I can understand the nuances better. Given that he has about a million idol friends, I'm sure he's the same in Korean. And Felix is such a sweetheart! You can see him getting more comfortable as the show goes on but at the start, and this happens quite a lot, you can just see him overthinking as he talks and kinda getting himself tangled in his thoughts lol. Love this interview

You had me at 'I'm not the bigger person. I will not be the bigger person!' THANK YOU!!!😂😂😂Officially one of my favourites!!! Your honesty!!! Very rare in these streets these days

The most Aussie intro ever. 😂 Keep doing what you’re doing.

Suddenly finding yourself kind of obsessed with Stray Kids is very much a vibe. I didn't really know kpop before them, came across one song, loved it, a few weeks later suddenly they're my favourite group and I'm consuming every bit of content I can find. I think my family somewhat prefer it to me blasting metal when I'm cooking tbf 😅. It's really fun watching your journey, and personally, I love long reactions because it feels like hanging out with a friend where you want to dissect and comment on every little thing because you're just having fun. Hope you keep enjoying!

Yes, as you discovered, Eric Nam is a solo singer/songwriter Kpop artist who is Korean-American. He is a pretty big deal celebratory in Korea and internationally, who has been a part of Kpop for about 11 years. Eric is now working on breaking into the U.S. market and his most recent album is an all English album designed for the U.S. music scene. His whole goal when he became a Kpop idol was to use his platform as an international celebrity to change the world and to shine a light on the causes and issues that he feels are important in the world. One of which is finding a voice for Asian Americans in the U.S. music and entertainment industry. So his whole goal is to someday become as popular in the U.S. -- where he was born and raised -- as he is in Korea and around the world. For the past year or so Eric has been on his There and Back Again world tour where he held sold out concerts in 46 cities, from the U.S. to Europe and everywhere in between. Eric is born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, and he always loved to sing, but as a child from an immigrant Korean family whose parents came to America to make a better life for themselves and their children, it was always expected that he would get good grades and a prestigious job and make a name for himself in the business word. After graduating from Boston College, he was hired as a business analyst at Deloitte Consulting in New York, which is a very prestigious job. At the same time, he had been posting videos of himself online singing popular cover songs as a hobby. His videos got noticed by the producers and talent scouts of a singing competition program in Korea, and he was asked to come to Korea and audition for the program. His dream had actually always been to be a singer, so he decided to give up his successful six-figure salary career as a consultant to risk it all and go to Korea to compete on the singing competition show, which is a lot like the Korean equivalent of "American Idol" or "The Voice". Eric is a really great singer and he ended up coming in fourth on the show, and he didn't even speak Korean very well at the time. He didn't win, but it was enough to get Kpop companies to start to take notice of him, and soon after he was signed in 2012 to a company and started his career as a solo Kpop artist. Not only is Eric an amazing singer/songwriter who writes a lot of his own music in both English and Korean, but as you can see, he is just as famous, or even more so, for his interview skills. Some people know Eric more for the fact that he is a very popular host of several Korean variety shows, one of which was as the host of "After School Club" for 3 years. After School Club is an international program based in Korea where Idols and Kpop groups come on the show to promote their latest work and they interact with fans through Twitter and live Facetime, etc. The program is an English speaking program so the guests are encouraged to speak English as much as possible. And when Eric hosted the show he not only spoke in English, but he had to translate everything that was said into Korean for any of the guests who were not fluent English speakers, and translate what was said in Korean for all the viewers. The program is broadcast to more than 188 countries and each week idols interact with fans from all over the world. It has been several years since Eric was a host on the show, and yet he still continues to be the most popular host of the program. All of his successors and co-hosts are also native English speaking idols. But on top of being a host, he also started his career in Korea as an interviewer for Korean entertainment programs, so he has had the opportunity to interview dozens of international Hollywood celebrities from around the world -- celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Chloe Moretz, Jamie Fox, Robert Downey Jr., Will Smith, the cast of almost every Marvel movie, etc.-- if its a big name international movie or program, Eric has probably interviewed the cast or stars of the show. Whenever a big name Hollywood movie does a press tour to promote the movie, Eric used to be sent to Interview the cast or actors, etc. So he has interviewed and got to know a wide range of some of the most famous western actors, singers and celebrities in the world. And he has become friends with a few of them. Eric started his career in the Korean entertainment industry a little later than most idols -- he was in his mid-20s when he debuted -- so because of that he has gained a reputation as being very well mannered, highly intelligent and more mature. He is considered Korea's national boyfriend because all the girls want to marry him and all the parents want him as their son-in-law. He can charm pretty much everyone he meets with his beautiful voice and perfect personality. He is also best friends with a lot of idols -- many of which are also international Kpop stars -- such as Jackson from GOT7, Henry from Super Junior, Amber from F(x), Jamie (Jimin) from 15&, Kevin Woo from U-Kiss, Peniel from BTOB, several of the members of BTS, etc. etc. -- the list is too long to name them all. He is very smart and many people look up to him for his intelligence. While in College he spent a semester studying in China so he also speaks Chinese pretty well -- plus, some of his best friends such as Jackson, Henry and Amber are Chinese so I'm sure he brushes up on his Chinese with them. And he spent many school breaks doing mission work in Latin America, so he is also fluent in Spanish. There is so much to love and admire about Eric. People really need to get to know him. Please check out some of his MVs and music, as well as more of his interviews, and maybe even some old episodes of After School Club where a group you are a fan of was on. You will be impressed with everything you discover from him. When Eric was the host of ASC, many of the most popular groups were on the show, so you will probably be able to find an episode or two with Eric and any of the groups that were popular from 2013-16. As you have seen, he also owns his own Kpop podcast/RU-vid channel "Dive Studios" where he has interviewed his Kpop friends and talks about the Kpop and music industry, etc. It's a great inside look at the industry and a fun way to get to know Eric and Kpop better. As you can see, this whole YT channel is all in English and is designed for English speaking fans of Kpop. There are also several other international English speaking Kpop celebrities who host their own podcast programs on the platform, which are posted on Dive's RU-vid Channel as well. If you haven't already, you should really check out more of Dive Studios' content.

I love your videos and especially because Channie is my Bias too hehehe, so thanks for coming with me to watch these videos it feels like we're chatting hahaha suddenly I answer you 🤣, in all cases, you are very cute making these videos, I appreciate it with all my heart and how to Stay, welcome to the SKZ world ❤️🎉

You are not the first reactor to have to come back and address this issue in the beginning. Let’s be honest here all of us watching these videos that you are reacting to have seen the m/v at least a good 10x so who cares that you pause a lot because we already know what to expect. Those are the assholes trying to run your channel for you and *I LOVE HOW YOU TOLD THEM OFF* You are doing such a great job and that’s why your channel has grown crazily over the last week and half and your Patreon blew up!! *Keep being you* that’s why we’re here!! 😊

His rant against keyboard warriors is the most Aussie behavior I’d expect 😂 “ well, don’t f***ing watch it mate!”

I really like your videos because of all of your reactions and thoughts on what you're watching, literally why I watch reaction channels cause they're so enjoyable. Love what ur doing, ur funny as hell, keep going 👍

You radiate CHAN energy,the way he doesn't care and is honest and speaks his mind,like....it's so you! BUT YEAH,LET THE GUY DO THINGS THE WAY HE WANTS PEOPLE

taste from the maxident is a danceracha unit song, the live stage performance is really worth watching bc it really shows off their vocal and dance skill and it's also a great song

So I just noticed this, but Chan was eating when Eric said he came to Korea at age 15, so he couldn’t actually correct him but he did have a look on his face that makes me think he was going to. Stray Kids is a 5 year old group now and Channie is 25, so he debuted at age 20. He said before that he trained for 7 years, which means he moved to Korea and started training when he was 13, not 15. THIRTEEN YEARS OLD 😱 omg Bang Chan, the man that you are ♥️

I like you talking because that shows how interested you are in your reactions. Ignore those bored and lonely bullies who have nothing to say or do but bully reactors everyday. For me, You're are another best Stray Kids reactor out there and I enjoy it. Tell them and You do you Boo❤🔥

i actually really enjoy the fact that you pause and you talk because it tells me you are actually engaged with the content you are watching! so thank you, it comes across more geniune than other reactors

Lol I absolutely love your clap back at haters!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 It's like right ...don't watch dumb@$$. I also appreciate somebody else who has the petty gene!! 🥰🥰 BTW loving the Stray Kids journey 💖 keep up the amazing reactions. 👏🏼 💖 ❤️ 💕

There is a clip somewhere of the Kids playing an ASMR game. 2 members are making a ssam for Changbin and they're only putting veggies, no meat. Just watching him die inside while trying to not make too much noise for the game. **Onion Cleopatra** 🤣🤣😂

Yes!!! Please don’t change the way you want to do your reactions for anyone! You do you! If someone doesn’t like it they can go watch something else! I’m loving your reactions and stray kids journey!!

And yes Felix is a gamer. He has a 3 monitor set up in his dorm built his own pc and constantly repairs it himself.

Chan: “I want to be the first person to perform on the moon.” Also SKZ: *space-themed comeback*

I love that besides reacting, you also give us some insight to get to know you more and makes the videos so much better ☺️

If you receive those hate comments, it only means that you are receiving a lot of love and attention and they are just insecure with it. Those who leave hate comments do not deserve to be called fan if they are embodying such rude behavior, cause if you are a fan you will know that your idol will definitely not tolerate such attitude. Keep doing whatever you want, don't change just because they want you. You are amazing, I just recently found you channel and honestky, all I can say is that I appreciate you appreciating our boys ❣️

Keep doing what you are doing. Petty is good! Ignore the haters. We love your style.

honesty you give off such chan vibes like even you calling people out on their bs its great. keep doing you man ❤

This was such a good video, really made my day so thank you

Yeah don’t worry about talking and pausing at all. As you said they don’t needa watch they can just watch the original video if that’s what they want. It’s so weird when people complain about that stuff.

28:56 felix is a huuuge gamer haha, he played league of legends for 12 years and is still on bronze, overwatch, genshin, cod, apex, pokemon go and more and he also loves building computers and it's one of his favourite hobbies lol

If you want to watch the video itself without commentary then go watch the video itself. This is a freaking reaction channel duuuhhhh! Omg ppl are so dumb 🤣🤣🤣. I absolutely love your snap back to the keyboard trolls 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼! Kick @$$ bro 🤣🤣🤣! Eric Nam is hilarious! I love him and his music is awesome too! 32:00 Omgosh same! Prince was my all time favorite artist for the longest time but as soon as I discovered StrayKids, they overtook that position. They are genuinely, incredibly so amazing in every aspect possible 😍.

Bruh you're exactly the content creator I was looking for, cause most people when they're doing a reaction video don't really express their opinions while watching. I don't want to watch the video again, I want to know the other person's opinion on it. And you deliver that perfectly, it's very enjoyable as a kpop stan seeing other people also enjoying and sharing their experiences like the way you do, keep it up man you're doing great!

im really liking the longer videos bc they're good to listen to whilst doing stuff

22:26 I love how in so many moments you had the exact reactions that they had themselves :D

The Dive Studios interviews with Eric are honestly my favorite interviews! If you want, you can check out more of the interviews if you liked Eric and want to be introduced to other artists! Loved this reaction!

Honestly, i've never understood people who get annoyed at REACTORS for pausing videos and talking. Like, the whole point of this type of video is to see the REACTION?! Clearly, that's gonna involve talking!! How boring would it be if you just sat there the whole time and didn't say a word!! Your comments and your reactions are why we watch your (and other's) content!! If you wanna watch the OG video without interruptions then go watch that! But to come onto a RU-vidr's reaction channel and then get annoyed that they... you know... REACT... is just stupid! You're great and I'm glad you stood up for yourself!! Looking forward to watching this reaction!!

I'm binging all your SKZ related videos because your reactions are so real and fun to watch! Don't worry about pausing and replaying a lot, I actually appreciate it because I'm the same haha. But I'm glad you're speaking up against those people who are leaving these comments. Just go and watch something else, no need to be rude about it🙄Anyways, love your videos, keep it up, welcome to Stayville and your deep voice is fire 🔥

Loved your reaction! 👍

Damn, I'm Turkish as well and I've also realised that Korean and Turkish people have similar habits in eating

You are quite literally my favorite reaction channel currently, I enjoy your genuine reactions so much! What is annoying is seeing people being a little fake sometimes just to not provoke the fandoms. Not you, you don't give 2 shits, you're honest and it's refreshing af. Not to mention you actually are emotionally intelligent, so your analysis most of the time is really nice to watch.

To me... When you pause the video n talk means that you put your attention to the video, n thats what's important..you respect the work..n i respect you for doing that..

Your narration was on pointtt 😂

I really really love all your reactions, and I absolutely love when people give their honest thoughts about what they're watching/listening...it shows their interest and shows that they are having fun. There are very few reactors that catch my attention and make me watch their full videos and YOU are one of them, so keep doing what you do.

18:42 Felix's "nointaeihn?!" always gets me haha

Thanks for your honest reactions! I enjoy them and i hope you keep reacting to Stray Kids. Eric Nam is such a talented artist and he looks much younger than his age ngl 🤣 Also, as a Turkish person i completely agree with you about Korean cuisine being similar to Turkish cuisine. And i really wonder how would it sound like speaking Turkish with an Aussie accent lol.

👏👏👏👏👏👏 I love that you addressed the situation in the way you did. 😂😂 I personally enjoy that you talk, pause and react..... that's the point. Keep doing what you doing 👍👍👍👍

I love how you commented in every little things and told us the story from your peespective! Giving us the vibe you really enjoy and absorb the whole video! Good job!

Bruuuh i love your skz reactions!! that's it❤

Eric's fantastic. He's American (from Atlanta, specifically), and he's got really great albums both in Korean and English. Hilarious, too, along with the rest of DIVE Studios.

Love love love your reactions and all the pausing so we and you see everything! Keep it going 🥰

really loving your channel man, great work 👍

I personally love your reactions keep on going!!

The amount of spoilers we got from this interview and we Stays didn't even realise🥲 (5 star comeback soon yayyyy can't wait)

Love your reaction! And yes eric nam is a singer, hes awesome!!! Also your deep voice is a solid 11/10

Love your reacts...❤

That’s the whole point why we watch your videos because of your reactions and your comments! Love what your doing and keep it up😊 ignore the 0.01% who just has nothing better to do. Can’t wait to see more! 🥰

Don't mind them! I really like how you react cuz you actually relate to them and have really good insights of everything they talk, like you actually are interested in them 💕 it's so refreshing🤌

You totally got it right, Felix is a gamer

DEFINITELY AGREE WITH YOU!!! I LOVE YOUR WAY TO REACT this interview was definitely a planned chaos😂😂😂 If you put 2 aussie korean in an interview with an amarican korean... the whole system of rules of conduct is instantly gone 😂😂😂 Hearing that skz is becoming your favourite artist makes me happy.... welcome ro the rabbit hole ❤

youre so bang chan coded 😭😭 your reactions are great !!!!!

Chan mentioning he wanted skz to perform in the moon.. dang, they really had 5star in their head during the maxident comeback 😂

Thank you 😊 it was so fun to watch with you 👍👍

definitely agree on the turkish/korean cuisine comparison, im turkish and ive always loved korean cuisine in general. it always felt close enough to be comforting and make sense to me yet different enough to be exciting. love it.

Bro, I literally love your reactions. Like you're already my favorite kpop reacter right now to the point I have all notifs on and subbed on Patreon. Disregard those comments. Every reacter gets them, and they should be ignored. There's no pleasing some people.

I’m here for your reaction. If I want to just watch the MV or show, I’m capable of watching them on my own. Great reply to the haters!!

I acc love how blunt you are and personally love when you pause and react. I respect how you watch the full content and basically don't miss anything. Also you give of major Chris vibes when you were addressing the idiots minus the swearing 😂

Eric is worth reaching to! Eric is hilarious! His interviews always have me wheezing 😂

Boy I support you 100%!!!! Pausing is never a problem and I really hate it when people doing reactions and talk over the content and miss the moment they need to see!!! I love your genuine reactions and I love how real you are, so just ignore those hate comments and continue to be you!!

I LOVE that you talk a lot!!!! That’s why most of us are here haha. There are always haters and they’re always the loudest but the rest of us adore your commentary haha it’s super entertaining 🤗🙂🤣

I'm from Brazil and I really like your videos, specifically because you talk a lot and really says your opinion, this is really important to me, coz it's the reason why I'm watching a react

Eric Nam is a great artist! Highly recommend checking out his stuff

I love your attitude lmao, you being blunt and honest and, well, autralian is what made me subscribe, I'm usually a silent watcher for anyone I watch but I want to increase the percentage of appreciation in your comments haha, love your videos I've binged watched all of them and you're so consistent with uploads too its great, so thanks!

35:19 Felix's side eye is on another level omg

Your reaction videos are always the best.It's hard to believe, but I follow you from Egypt. good luck ❤️

It's you reacting!! OF COURSE YOU'RE GOING TO PAUSE AND TALK!!! I love your reactions!!!!❤❤

True words from you in the beginning!!

"19 because that's how old I am" "wait, is he really? Let me google it-" I got flashbacks from Jackson Wang interview lmao

Another english skz interview I recommend is from the Zach Sang Show, particularly the Double Knot interview first (its the oldest, from 3yrs old, watch the Levanter MV before), then the Christmas EveL interview (1 yr ago, Christmas EveL also has an MV, they also talk about the NO EASY album with the Title Track Thunderous so this interview is right after Skz finishes the MNET show Kingdom). Skz also did a puppy interview (q&a while skz plays with puppies to promote pet adoption) with Buzzfeed (6 months ago, during their most recent tour).

1:24 yaay!! that's the swag boy

I just discovered your channel and I LOVE IT

Good clap back. Personally, I love your reactions. I tune in to see your humor. ❤

Yes I totally agree with u ... If some people don't like it then Don't Watch it.. Ignore those weirdos... I really enjoy ur videos n they genuinely made my day better mate

19:03 dying all I am thinking of is Jackson Wang when he searched Eric’s age in this show 😂😂😂

Your deep voice sounds so nice omg

I like Felix and Chan's interviews (they did about 3 shows together during Maxident promo) and I think all Stays want them to do it again because they are so fun to watch (all SKZ content is good though). And I like your reaction to this video. You're really involved in it and it's not usual for reactions. Thank you for it!

omg yes i love this one

I personally like how much you pause and talk. It really shows how much you are literally reacting to the Kids. I see your expressions and I love it lol

Some people always seem to complain about reactors pausing the video when in my opinion thats kinda the point? We get to hear your thoughts about it without you missing anything from the video. I love the way you do things and i hope you keep it up just like this!! Always looking forward to seeing your new content :)

PERIOD. Try not to let the hate comments get to you too much though, they're just there because they want to be seen but they're dumb enough to try and get the wrong type of attention. Idk about them, but I personally love your reactions because you're hilarious and sometimes you express the exact way I felt about something when I first saw it. Keep doing you :)

Your deep voice ASMR was legit hot 😂🥵

Felix plays league and overwatch haha he's the most gamer out of skz

Good analysis for a pleasant interview👍! There's another interview with Felix and Ban Chang at Will and Ben Show for the promotion of Maxident album. She's really fun and I think you'll love it ✌️. By the way, you are doing a good job👌! Best wishes!

I really enjoy your content just the way it is. Don't let the negative comments get to you, they're not worth your energy.
