NOT SO STRAIGHT KIDS ???? Reaction 

A post about the Insight into parts of the Culture that lead to boy group shipping/gay videos. Just throwing out there, while these are fun to watch, remember that most of the "gay" moments you see in Korean Idols are simply a difference in culture and mainly a difference in the form Toxic Masculinity takes in Korea. Korean guys are generally pretty comfortable with their bodies around each other, going to nude saunas and public baths together, scrubbing each other down, using each other's laps as pillows, expressing emotions in front of their friends, cuddling, holding hands, and so on are all not seen as gay. There are positives and negatives to this. Positives is that yes, society shouldn't put expectations on how straight men should act, the negative is that the comfort stems from a history of "Korean men simply are not gay so there is no need to worry of being perceived as gay." Thankfully this mindset is long gone and thankfully it didn't bring in the idea that straight male behavior needs to change. I grew up in the US as a Korean American and I currently live full time in Korea. I was surrounded by Koreans growing up so I knew of the familiarity between guys and all the physical contact while I was extremely uncomfortable with it due to initially growing up around mostly other ethnic groups that tend to shun male affection. Being closeted didn't help. Now that I'm in Korea, it's refreshing to see a pair of male high school friends walking around linking arms or holding hands. I've seen groups of 16 year old guys doing this in an unironic way. Just showing their love and affection to their friends. Similarly to how women are able to in the other cultures men aren't allowed to. While I've been fully out for a long ass time, itnis definitely comfortable to be able to walk around hugging someone I'm dating of the same sex or doing cutesy things to them without people staring and immediately thinking GAY! BUT as with all gays who are not fully out of the closet or out at all, no matter where in the world you are, they are still on heightened awareness that some innocent thing they do will be the thing that gets them outed and they are uncomfortable being as carefree as actual straight guys. These videos are all good fun but I've seen some people end up giving off a vibe of watching through the lightly tinted lens of expected toxic masculinity + the lack of racial/cultural understanding, which is a product of their upbringing and society around them, especially if they are part of the gay world and it can get a little Asian stereotype fetishy hopefulness (?) If that even makes sense. So just wanted to throw that out there for something to watch out for. I love your videos and have watched so many of them. I subscribed in another video the moment I saw you sound out a members name by looking at the Korean alphabet and reading that for an accurate name vs their English spelling. So I just wanted to say thank you for that. The Korean alphabet and sounds are so easy to learn, as they say it takes a smart person 12 hours to memorize and a not so smart person a week at the most (vocab and grammar is another thing entirely). I feel like it's such a small thing to just learn the alphabet and that shows tremendous respect for the culture you are consuming and in some peoples' case, exploiting to make money, that it immediately endeared me to you. Then I saw the rainbow flag and was like THAT'S MY PERSON!!! ❤ Much love from Seoul. Also, small fact, did you know in a recent poll taken of students in Korea between the ages of 15-24, the percentage of males supporting same sex relationships and marriage is actually higher than 50%? Interestingly enough, the female results were the opposite with most being against same sex relationships and marriage. I have sapphic friends here and it is SO much harder than gays. So much more hiding of their faces and identity even within their own community. 😢

Tell her about minsung😭😭

We need a full Minsung video of the same length as this one 😂

It will forever blow my mind that skz has ANY homophobic fans. Skz have literally been to multiple pride parades, Chan has openly said he fully supports the lgbtq and they do not act straight by any means xD I love them

I feel like I need more of Changbin shooting every single shot at Hyunjin that he can because that boy does not quit😅

We need a Minsung, Changlix, and Hyunlix combo video

It's honestly so nice to see how comfortable the guys are around eachother that they can joke like that as we all know they see eachother as brothers its refreshing to see men being able to joke around like this😆

i love the "has jisung made songs about felix" and i immediately thought of minho and jisung's 'want so bad' lmaoo like maybe with a different ship he has !! as a queer girl myself, your reactions together are not only hilarious but so refreshing. it's like im watching videos with my friends! cant wait for what you guys do in the future, looking forward to it

it's funny how you pointed out chan being into felix's part in your eyes 😭 he literally said on bubble that he got butterflies from watching it

We need an hour of minsung compilation loll

Minsung and HyuniBini are about to tear Tash's world in half lmao

Seungmini is truly an angel created by heaven, which contains all the most beautiful things that can exist. Such a small fluffy and so precious miracle is the very embodiment of sweetness and charm, it is an angelically beautiful face, eyes that sparkle brighter than the stars and the most beautiful smile in the world to melt anyone's heart. Even through the screen, you can feel how cozy and warm it comes from him that you just want to hug him without letting go to protect him from everything and everything.

(what was the secret thing tash wanted to say but completely forgot about... who will ever know) if you want to come watch the skz survival show with us, episodes 1 & 2 are up on my patreon!! patreon.com/shaylareacts

We want MORE! next MINSUNG, please Love you

Gotta do minsung moments next 😩😂

Would love to see more!! 🩷 My personal fav duo is Chanlix, but Changjin is also great. And pretty much EVERYONE loves Minsung so I think that’s a necessary trip hehehe

we need latest skz code where they're went on a dating show with each other lol or skz family!

21:26 for seungmin He goes for hug to I.N and changbin He denies Bangchan hug He hugs I.N, Changbin, Hyunjin, Felix a lot. Hyunjin, Changbin loves hug Seungmin tho I can tell that. Changbin seungmin so cute together omg. I.N always denies Seungmin but still accept him at the same time ahaha. Leeknow Seungmin have divorced concept so they don't hug each other that much but there are some clips they used to hug each other before their concept. But its only on camera thing... I don't know about Han seungmin ahahah

I love compilation videos. I really enjoyed your reaction. It was so fun watching these videos again with you two. Looking forward to more

no but the WAYYY you could compile a gay ass compilation for ANY skz duo 😭😭 jilix are especially cute though :')) also from one queer to another, i'm just gonna put this out here in the comments (for other stays) that i don't think it's bad to speculate about them bc heterosexuality is not the default!!! not to say we should stick labels on them but more so that there's no harm in acknowledging the possibility that they are queer, especially because they're in an industry where they'd never be able to say it directly ykwim?? i feel like lots of fans on many platforms attack people for saying it's possible, but i don't think there's anything wrong with that and i think many people demonize queerness .. straight up im just gonna put it out there and say i think at LEAST half of skz are queer 🤷‍♂LOL anyways, sorry to take up this space in the comments!! i really loved this video, i just feel like this is an important topic to me that i see many people misinterpret,,,,, also yes... .absolutely..... ot8 forever they're the sweetest

minsung even did the first happy love song with lee know WANT SO BAD

always so fun watching you both react to these guys🥰🥰 thank you for the video! have a good one

I just love to see the love and close bond they all share. It always makes me so happy. Skz just radiates so much pure love and devotion even within all of their chaos 😂 ❤ Also their music video for There is also pov

this was so cute omg you should show tash a minsung compilation hehe

I definitely want more! This videos are really funny :3

Barely into the video and dying! As soon as I saw this I clicked because the last time when y’all were watching Stray Kids and just pointing to the flag!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

Just so you know, we don't care how long the videos are we will watch ALL of it 😂❤

jisungs and Felix's birthday are literally one after the other

So when are you introducing Tash to - Minsung - Changlix - Hyunlix - HyunIn ? These all deserve a full episode each...

Hyunho, hyunlix and hyunibinnie and hyunsung my favourite dynamics ❤

HYUNIBINNIE is the longest and stable ship from all- unchanged for almost 7 years. From the first days of trainee in 2017. You should react to one of their multiple tiktok compilations. You would see what a great, deep and stable friendship they have.

these reactions make me so happy. its not often that i stumble upon other queer people just having fun and reacting to skz, as often others reactions can become very uncomfortable or toxic in ways. as a trans & queer person it's so comforting that i'm not alone in the fandom and that there are others out there who also relate in the same ways. loved the video and will definitely be subbing for more

you guys r so funny lololol please more !!!

You should show them minsung videos

ITS HERE OH MY GOSH

YOU HAVE TO WATCH MINSUNG MOMMENT💥💗

I adore the dynamic between Han and Felix and watching these two together was so cute!! Kinda wish they’d included the clip of Han talking about using Felix as a body pillow to take a nap before a show or interview. That’s a really cute one. Plus the more recent SKZ-Talker moments with these two

Moooore please. It was so entertaining 😂

Felix was asked what his ideal type is and he said for a boy Changbin and for women he loves every Stay.

If she had seen minsung moments she wouldn’t think jisung has a crush on felix😂 we need a minsung video🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hannie and Felix is so cuties 💗

i need to see your reaction to every skz duo bc they all are SO CUTE

Please do more videos like this with her!!

It'd be fun to see you react to every relationship videos between them 'cause they're all so sweet (Minchan, Changbin and Chan, Changbin and Minho, Changlix, Chanlix, Minsung, Hyunmin, 2Min, Jeonglix, etc, it's endless really). It's really fun watching fellow queer people enjoy this group as much as I do!

OMG finallyyyy

I love this, we need more funny cute little videos of stray kids, with tasha

we need a minsung video there friendship is so nice since there knonas the bestfriends and have agreed tot hat

i just love when that single clip from hyunlix live instantly activates the gaydar everytime people react to it even though they are not included in the compilation vids 😭

FELIX is so adorable I love him so much 😩😩😩❤️❤️❤️❤️

2 minutes in and I would watch tf out of a podcast if yall made one

we definitely need more!!! compilation videos are really fun!

9:01 Felix is in the middle with a white shirt and black hat above chris

oh I love this! I'd love to see your combined reaction to different ships (and I mean actually all the different ships bc they have amazing chemistry and I'm still mad at the blatant 'we pretend they don't exist' for some of them). MinSung is kinda obvious, but so are all love triangle combinations (incl. HyunLix! I hate when they are ignored away), then the maknaes and, personally, I'm so soft for MinChan ehehehe black cat and wolf energy

We honestly need all the ships. You could literally find one with every pairing.

girl dont hold back, we love gay stray kids

Hyunjin's live 'It's not straight kids."

Now do Minsung

your reactions are always so full of joy! i love watching it

waiting for the changjin dedicated video 😇😇😇

PLEASEEEE DO A LOOOONG VIDEO OF MINSUNG

Okey, now I need a full video of you two reacting to minsung, chanlix and hyunlix

I wanna see more ❤❤❤❤

Wait till they see Minsung

12:27 I’m pretty sure the show is like Skz code

More please? 😊😊😊

I saw other people say the same thing, but PLEASE do soooo many Minsung videos. Jilix may be the platonic besties that kiss (lol), but Minsung are actual soulmates. Their relationship (and I'm not labeling it for all you haters out there) is so precious and special.

I think you guys would love the Ateez being gay videos out there especially the numerous Woosan (Wooyoung and San) videos they are always so fun to watch

Watch Minsung next 😂

Please react to hyunibini ( changjin)

Plsssss do morrrrrre❤❤

.. They're not gay...just because they're good friends and close.... doesn't mean they're gay! Ships can be friends or besties too❤❤ (yes Felix is probably bi but that doesn't mean he's gay for Hyunjin for example) ❤️❤️❤️ either way, whatever sexuality, we all love them❤️❤️

React to some MinSung videos. If anyone is going to be shipped in Stray kids, it’s them.

react to Sb19 AAA performance. Stray kids also their reacting to them (sb19).

coughcough I recommend changlix because Felix simping over him is super cute coughcough

As a staytiny[stay and atiny] I think you guys would love [gay]teez😂❤

Show her some chanlix moments. Our beautiful Aussi duo

Please react to seungmin being y/n of stray kids

the thought of what the controversial takes are is haunting me 😭😭

Hyunlix is my favorite duo, seems so pure and sweet

We need a minsungggg video

100% should watch more

once you said gay, i stayed. Absolutely NOT leaving now :3

wait till she finds out about minsung

I need a minsung reaction!! and changlix

It's so funny that Tash decided to ship jilix like this is how you know they haven't been exposed to minsung, hyunlix and changlix yet lmaooo

Please make a reaction to Minsung, they are awesome

Do all the ships! And also tiktock compilations (thirst traps 😁)

more!!!! please☺☺☺

I need a reaction to minsung ahhh

Difference between Koreans and Americans. Koreans rarely say I Love You. It feels cringe to the core unless saying it to a old grandparent or toddler. Parents and children will almost never say it to each other and friends won't either. Instead the words are replaced with food, acts of kindness, memory, and physical affection. We WILL say we like someone though. The history of "Did you eat?" as a greeting/showing concern and love comes from most of Korea having long periods of being scarce on food up til fairly recently. So you were always concerned if the people you cared about the most were getting at least some food since no one was eating enough. The lack of food in Korea's history, especially under Japanese dictatorship, caused enough malnutrition that from 1910ish to 2010, the average height for Korean males jumped up almost 10 inches. The most an ethnic group has grown height-wise in the world. I think the average height for Korean females went up like 4-5 inches? Not too sure on that because the male stat was so startling. The group it is most apparent in is the 2000's babies. Guys born after 2000 tend to be taller on average (and also have larger parts on average based on my non-scientific study while living in Korea with corroborations from friends who noticed once I alerted them).

I would love to see a twice being gay video react ❤

Moreeeeee ❤

They have to watch something about Minsung or hyunlix

we need a minsung video

😂😂

plss do minsung

More. Please more.
