Introducing my friend to Kpop | Stray Kids(스트레이 키즈), ATEEZ(에이티즈), Dreamcatcher(드림캐쳐) | REACTION 

Gods Menu seems aggressive to people until they get into the discography and realize there are harder ones lol

Thank you! I knew he would love Ateez! It's one of the best groups for non kpop fans to start their K-pop journey with.

ATEEZ killed it! they execute their craft perfectly every time ! Jonho rock star voice is amazing

Ateez discography is so freaking good, they have a song for every mood🖤

ATEEZ actually has a well-rounded sound, and they seem to always capture the sound they lean into, ALWAYS!

Thank you for your honest reaction. Ateez is the bestessst !!!! Make him watch Atzzz COACHELLA. Also takes a while to be immune to Kpop. My sister got into it like a month later 😂

Ateez is just another level🔥🔥❤️🧡🧡

ATEEZ!!!! They are my bias. I fell in love at first sight. You should try more of them. Because they are perfect! Stray Kids are amazing too. So many good songs.

thank you for showing him ateez

Kpop does take time to get used to, the pattern I notice is that people find one group they like and then they go back and take another listen to group they didn't and find they like it more than they did before. The more you listen the more things you enjoy, since there's so much I think that's some of the fun of it!

i really liked this reaction! i love the honesty a lot and the choice of music. Ateez are my favorite followed by dreamcatcher so that was very nice that your best friend enjoyed ateez. Your hype about halazia made me smiiiiiile so i would love to see that reaction amongst other ones!

Ateez

ATEEZ THE BEST

I'm so proud to be an atiny Ateez never disappoints!

Ateez has a great theme & I love their songs.

I laughed at QK Entertaiment a little too hard😅 I'm glad your friend liked Ateez❤

This was interesting. Thanks for introducing me to Dreamcatcher who I’d not gotten around to listening to. Stray Kids was the first K-pop group I started to follow and then found ATEEZ, also drawn in my their high energy and anthem optic beats.

Dreamcatcher ！ The best group in my heart ！

My ATEEZ ❤

God’s menu is surely a unique case. it’s their most known song, highest mv views, but it was also a song that never won any award. but skz is indeed experiment a lot with their sound. we never know what to expect when it comes to their music and performance.

Love Dreamcatcher ATEEZ more because out 😤🔇🙊

Based on his feedback on Ateez, your friend will most likely like the songs Cyberpunk and Wonderland.

ahhh my ateez!! i knew he’d love them hehe

I’m surprised you didn’t play Scream by Dreamcatcher or Guerrilla by Ateez. But I’m really happy to find this video. These 3 groups are probably my ult K-pop groups 🖤

This was fun. It's be interesting to hear his ranking after he heard each of them a few more times because it really does require a bit of adjustment to acclimate to kpop.

It's really good seing honest reaction. I'm tired of all this fake reaction when creators are always super hyped and like everything.

Such an honest reaction, luved it Thank you for this and listening to ATEEZ!

Thanks for reacting to Ateez again 😊 looking forward to more Ateez reactions 😁👍

I love Ateez guerrilla was the song who oppen my eye for Ateez❤❤❤

Thanks for this reaction! It was a lot of fun to watch and also super interesting to see the ratings of the songs by someone who is not into K-pop.

I like how respectful he was dispite being totally new and astray to listening to k-pop Great video! Dreamcatcher skz and ateez are my favorite groups so I think you gave him a great first impression of kpop!

My ateez

Pls react to sub units songs by Ateez. Matz, It’s you, Youth and Everything 🙌🏻

React to ateez cyberpunk u won't regret it

I understand where you friend is coming from about Stray Kids. God's Menu was meant to be aggressive because it's a clap back to people who call their music "noise music". So for someone not familiar it can seem like a lot. For the fans we knew exactly who they were talking to and about.

According to Dami, Dreamcatcher is a boy group, so you did indeed only show him boy groups in this video, lol. If you have him back, you'll need to show him something from DC that's heavier like Break the Wall, Vision, or one of their Japanese songs. Since he mentioned he like drum and bass then Sleep-Walking and BEcause could be good picks for him. Solid selection of songs. It's hard to go wrong with DC, Ateez, and Stray Kids. His critiques were very fair, and he was respectful. For Dreamcatcher, it's probably one of their most K-POP songs outside of BEcause or OOTD and if it wasn't for the chorus I probably wouldn't have liked it that much the first time I saw it either.

Thank you for a great reaction! It's so nice to watch someone who's not into Kpop react to it. Especially when they like Ateez. 🙂

Should show him Guerilla from Coachella 🎉🎉🎉

P.s. Stray Kids are a pretty versatile group. They're known for their high energy and rap but they've a lot of other melodic songs including vocal driven ballads where even the regular rappers showcase their gorgeous vocals.. There are about 200 songs in their discography. If your curious about that side of them you could watch The First Take series where they sing some of their songs live. If you’d like a combo of anime related songs they have sung, you could try high energy TOP (intro to Tower of God) and the slower Slump (outdo). Slump was also live onThe First Take.

thank you for sharing ateez with your friend!! ❤❤

STRAY KIDS AMAZING GROUP FELIX DEEP VOICE KING OF KPOP🌟👑🌠🔥🌟👑

Omg, he didn't like the last chorus of Geurrilla 😭 They're known for the last 30 seconds of their songs where they go so so hard, I'm surprised he didn't like it as much! But his reasoning made sense. It's a very very good song in concert! I've had the privilege of seeing Ateez in person multiple times and the energy is insane. As for the English, it's used more for style and sound. It also works to make the song catchy. That being said, there is a good portion of songs that are completely in Korean. Usually songs that arent title tracks (or pop music) are likely to be more in Korean.

Ateez present ❤❤

i really appreciate his honest reaction to skz. Thank you!!

The moment you said that you were gonna show an Ateez song that you think is the best I was praying you would show Halazia. For me it's also one of the best kpop songs ever and I'm so sad that it never got the recognition it deserves, but I'm so glad that you get me xDDD

My ATEEZ ❤❤

I think there are a lot of Stray Kids songs he would like....including maybe Hall of Fame or Rock Version of Lalalala.

I can actually shed a bit of light on WHY k-pop adds English in different places. Because English & Korean have different cadences & accents in speech, there are some words that doesn't fit in the place they want, but the other language does. If they only use one language for a full lyric, they might not get the impact they want. And it's not just English that is used. Some groups use Spanish, or french. The word/phrase has to fit the song, but also have the proper cadence & sound to give a bigger impact. Look at the word Star. In Korean it's byeol. Because it ends in a L sound, it's hard for it to be impactful. Where as Star has a harder consonant that can be made sharper to provide impact. So the switches in language are for impact.

ATEEZ ATE❤❤❤

OH MY GOSH YESSS ATEZZZZ

OMG! My Top 3 Ult Kpop Group DC, ATEEZ, SKZ 🔥🔥🔥

guerilla should be experienced live it's about breaking the wall chant 😊 wonderland i think also said something about breaking the wall. ateez lore parallels their journey as a band from a small company in the industry. also the english has been there for as long as i remember listening to kpop. thank you for the honest reaction! kpop is so vast more than just idol music, like jpop. i was a jpop listener first then kpop. he'll find his group someday.

Stray Kids - best of the best, God’s Menu is amazing, great song 🔥🔥🔥

For seventeen they are name like that because : 1 group 3 units 13 members 1+3+13 =17

Cool reaction, i liked the honesty and the commentary. I dont listen much to ateez or stray kids even if I actually do like their music so it was nice. I'm a bit confused on why Dreamcatcher fans show Boca first to rock and metal fans tho lol since its one of their pop-iest title tracks and has a lot of switches. Also the chorus i think is one of their more repetitive ones with few vocals. Still pretty fun to watch.

Stray kids are huge in the music industry. They are top producers .They are a legendary group with the most diverse discography. Only groups in k-pop that are self made ( chan picked the members) and self produced group . You can watch From the newest album 5 star and Rock Star like hall of fram ,FNF, item,leave ,cover me, the sound, super bowl, Youtiful,blind spot,time out and obviously S-Class, lalalala etc . Soft song - never ending, winter fall,4419, spread my wings, 24 to 25, OH, leventer, blue print, Ex, red light, hoodie season,for you , lonely st, silent cry,charmer, on track,time out, novel , there, the view your eyes, blue print, star lost etc. Brilliant song - venom, freeze, grrr, mirror, miroh, maze of memories, chronosaurus, 3racha side effect ,top, 3racha , slump,god's menu, thunderous, TA, cheese,muddy water, the sound, slump,top etc. Old gems - hellevator, district 9, my pace, awkward silence,19, road not taken,boxer, quistion,M.I.A,get cool,I am you , yayaya, grow up , stop, booster, astronaut, maze of memories,side effects, mixtape 1,2,3,4, entrance, hero's soup,my side etc Stray kids are known for the quality of music and dedication for music.They are very creative and unique and versatile. Stray kids is inspiring to so many people. Their music is something connected with people .They give motivation, inspiration to express yourself it's ok to be unique You are beautiful the way you are. stray kids discography is very diverse with life philosophy. I describe stray kids music is "EXPRESSION OF LIFE" EXPRESSION OF PEOPLE" "EXPRESSION OF EMOTIONS" Lyrics are beautifully expressed with so many meanings . They have a diverse discography. I love the intellect, cleverness and creativity in songs. They have a very organic,fresh and unique sound. They didn't limited themself and explore the new side of music. You see so many new, refreshing and experimental sounds in their music. They explore different genres and express different emotions and touch so many important subjects like social pressure , anxiety, mental health, loneliness, depression insomnia etc. They break many stereotypes in music. The more you listen to them the more you admire and become addicted to them and respect them more as artists. The music they made is connected with people with beautiful messages , inspiration and motivation . ❤❤❤

I think Lalalala by stray kids is more something for him. It got more of that Phonk and Trap/House vibe to it. Godsmenu can be quite much for people who dont like this style of music. But the good thing about SKZ they got something for everyones taste. Ateez and SKZ are very similair and yet different and i absolutely love both

Love all 3 groups, they're all so good. I'd prefer Ateez more because of their music but i love some of Skz's songs too especially topline and social path. Miss both groups interaction so much.

There is a Special idol , There is a Beautiful Artist , There is Powerful Legend , They call Her Dreamcatcher

EXO (Monster, Obsession, The Eve) 👑 Seventeen (HOT, Don't Wanna Cry, Clap) 💎 Stray Kids (Maniac, Thunderous, Venom) ❣

STRAYKIDS & ATEEZ!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I really liked your friend's honesty. I became a kpop fan over a decade ago and I actually disliked a lot of songs in the beginning because it was all so unfamiliar.

38:22 The fact that I know what video he’s talking about 😭

Thank you for reacting to stray kids. Our kings 👑

dreamcatcher \:D/

From stray kids I think he might prefer "Side Effects" He should react to it!

About Stray Kids: 3Racha - Stray Kids' main writing and production unit, consisting of Bang Chan (the leader of Stray Kids), Changbin and Han (two of their main rappers) Bang Chan was an idol trainee at JYP for several years. While waiting to debut with a group, he formed a rap group called 3Racha with two other trainees, Changbin and Han. They wrote and produced their own music. JYP gave Bang Chan the highly unusual opportunity to help develop his own idol group (which they did through a reality show, but Bang Chan had WAYYYY more say in picking the members than pretty much any other idol trainee in the industry), and when Stray Kids was formed 3Racha was absorbed into that group. 3Racha still performs on occasion. Several of their songs / videos are posted on RU-vid. They write and produce (and often compose/arrange) the vast majority of the music for Stray Kids. But over the years the other members have also gotten involved in writing and production. ---------------------------------- Stray Kids debuted in 2018. They started with 9 members (in their early videos, you'll see 9 people performing) but Woojin left in Oct 2019. Stray Kids have been an 8-member group ever since. ---------------------------------- DanceRacha - their main dance unit (Hyunjin, Felix (the deep-voiced guy), and Lee Know). But all 8 members dance very well. ---------------------------------- VocalRacha - their main vocal unit (Seungmin and I.N). But again, all 8 members have great singing voices and they switch around on lead vocals, depending on the song. ---------------------------------- Main rappers - Changbin, Han, Hyunjin and Felix - however unlike many K-pop groups, all 8 members can and have rapped, depending on the song. ---------------------------------- Languages: Bang Chan (the leader of the group) and Felix (deep-voiced guy) are both Korean-Australian, so English is their first language. The other 6 members speak English with varying degrees of fluency. All 8 members are fluent in Korean and can also sing / rap in Japanese. They often mix Korean/English and Japanese/English in their songs. ---------------------------------- Not all of their music is super hard all the time. Stray Kids also write / sing beautiful ballads and have also written a few songs for K-drama, anime and video game soundtracks. They also collab with / produce for other idol groups and individual artists from Korea, Japan, China, Thailand and the U.S.

A little more info about Stray Kids: They are a multi-award winning and record-setting (as far as pre-release / post-release album sales) group who perform in countries around the world in completely filled stadiums that hold upwards of 50K / 60K people, as well as performing incredible, bring-down-the-roof performances at various awards shows. They have been featured in many publications, among them Rolling Stone magazine, Billboard magazine and Time magazine (and many others). A 2020 article in Time Magazine said they had one of the top 10 songs of the entire year. They were the only K-pop group on the list. They have won rookie / male group / album / dance performance / single song / global artist and producer awards at the MTV VMAs, the Billboard Music Awards, MTV Europe Music Awards, the People's Choice Awards, the IHeartRadio Awards and many, many awards shows throughout Asia. They received a special award from the Prime Minister of South Korea. They consistently are among the top groups to be played on Spotify and other streaming music platforms. Their songs have been on Billboard's Hot 100 and Global 200 charts, and four (4) of their albums have been no. 1 on Billboard's top 200 album chart. And in 2024, among many other awards and honors, Stray Kids were the only K-pop group to make the Gold House A100 list of "Asian-Pacific Most Impactful Leaders." It recognizes the “100 Asian Pacific leaders who have most significantly impacted American culture and society in the last year.” .......just to give you an idea.

Ateez does no wrong 🔥🔥🔥

No idol can be that Talented , No Legend can be that Powerful , She Truly is above Human , she is the Legendary Dreamcatcher

Dreamcatcher 🤘🏻

Her Talent is Boundless , Her Power ⚡⚡ is Limitless , " She is the first and always" , Legendary Dreamcatcher

(G-idle) girl group has this song uh oh who is close to hiphop ❤😂

ATEEZZZZ❤❤❤❤❤

ty for deukae reaction!!!

Maybe try to get him to listen to wonderland and pirate king by ateez

Haha we don’t hate his reaction - your friend was honest & respectful in his opinions. K-pop can seem quite different & a bit of a culture shock to start with. All it takes is the right song or group. Honestly, I was a bit “meh” too when my friend was first trying to get me into BTS & Black Pink. I admired the production quality & dancing but nothing really clicked, particularly as I’m not into “pop” music in general. But then a different friend showed me Stray Kids Maniac MV & EXO’s Monster & I absolutely loved them both immediately!! I completely fell down the EXO rabbit hole, then SKZ & now Ateez 😁 Some groups just happen click with you 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank for 💙S͓̽t͓̽r͓̽a͓̽y͓̽K͓̽i͓̽d͓̽s͓̽💙 reaction❤❤😊

I wonder if he'd like Hala Hala?

Dreamcatcher?! Y'all choose correctly.

Non kpop Stans say the positive thing about ateez

It shows that God's menu is too much for him😂

I am not big on gg but Dreamcatcher is really good. I prefer older SKZ songs, don't really like the new stuff. For me ATEEZ is the only reason I started really listening to kpop. I was only a casual listener before and through them I started listening to Seventeen. They are my top 2 groups followed by SHINee and Xikers. This was an awesome video. I love seeing new people react to kpop. Thanks for the vid and have a beautiful day!! 🏴‍☠💜

FELIX AMAZING VOICE KING OF KPOP FOREVER THE BEST👑⭐🚨🔥🤴

That wasn't so much a reaction as it was a staring contest with the screen. For Trap music- Stray Kids"s Venom, Easy, Victory Song. Skz has 170+ songs , there is something for everyone. ATEEZ has Hala Hala, and Win off the top of my head. If your friend doesn't respond to these, then you should cut him out of your life! lol

Love your Def Leppard shirt!

I recommend GENTO MV BY SB19 PPOP FROM THE PHILIPPINES

Sorry lost me . SKZ 🔥

We need some Exo 🥺♥️

I really recognize your accent, because it sounds really Swedish but I’m unsure if i’m right or if my mind is tricking me😂

FELIX IS TRUE ANGEL BEAUTIFUL IS THE KING OF KPOP FELIX MY SEXY KING
