Thank you! Changbin’s a solid dancer, totally underrated.

yesss i love people giving changbin the appreciation he deserves

Hwang Hyunjin performance leader and main dancer for a reason, yes, his technique and stage presence is another level! Thank you for notice Changbin

I love watching Merv's reactions, I always look forwards to them! Thanks for doing what you do!

Thank you for noticing Changbin. My ult bias. 💓

Fun fact: changbin used to train as a dancer before he realised his talent as a rapper when he was a trainee, so truly, he's the full package, and by far the most underrated dancer in skz.

Hyunjin is such an incredible dancer, truly one of the best in the industry. They really hit the jackpot with him because dancers like him only come once in a generation

Hyunjin gives me the baddest Disney Villain vibes every time and I mean that as a wholehearted compliment! That man is insane all around! Unreal! 😩🥴

Nobody ever notices Changbin for anything other than his rapping, thank you! He really is the full package ❤

Did they secretly have a hyunjin fancam running? 😂

req 3racha - heyday

You really should check out Changbin on The Masked Singer the man can sang sang. Like the other comments down below he's a total package or I like to say a triple threat he can sing, dance, and rap.

Love Merv’s reactions! Especially love me some SKZ too! This was great

Get him to watch domino by stray kids

*insert meme of toddler pushing wig bangs back while smiling in pride* changbin appreciation! one of my favorite things in the world next to the man himself😌

Straykids​ 💗👍

I love how he reacts to StrayKids! I’m a fan of your reactions and granting your a dancer yourself! Yay!!! ❤

I can't watch this video since watching skz own reaction to the mv and them mentioning how odd Lee Know looks flying near the end 💀

Here I am looking for all of Merv’s reactions. love them

Poor Felix wants to dance too

Loved this, really enjoy when people love what they're watching!

Changbin❤

thank you so much for another great reaction. I would like to say that at the time the were promoting Mandaic Felix was had a disc injury and why he isn't participating fully in the performance and dance practices.

What's that song in the opening? I recognize it but Shazam's not picking it up

As a contemporary dancer I LOVE Changbin's groundness and use of weight. His connectedness to the floor seems to come quite naturally but it makes an impact and makes the way he shifts across the floor stand out

btw the opening music is SNSD cover, thank you so much. love it

I realized Felix did quite a lot of jumping 🤣

Hyunjin's best dancer for me

Does anyone know the intro song? its so good and shazam doesn't catch it :(

Pls react Crush and Jhopes song Rush Hour

I loveeee that he noticed Changbin!!! And obviously giving Hyunjin the appreciation he deserves! Sad he didn't comment on Minho tho, he's an amazing dancer and he shines a lot in Maniac.

🖤

OMG YOU SHOULD REACT TO STRAY KIDS IN KINGDOM!!! Seriously, and the ones were the vids are extended and the other groups are commenting!!

Come on man you must make him watch lee know dancing to bruno mars finesse plz

Check out Lee Knows dancing. Hyunjin is an amazing dancer with flawless stage presence, but Lee Know's technique is unmatchable 🤩 Btw, they're all amazing dancers! 😊

Thus is a long one, sorry! Lol but i have lots of fun facts about their dancers! But ill start by saying... their practices really are just practices. They film then whenever they have a moment, as long as all the members have officially learned and executed it right the previous time. This is usually after two to three days back before the "Levanter" era. Between then and the "God's Menu" era it would take about one to two days. And since then they have the ability to have learned a choreo well enough to perform with it in 2r hours, but definitely well enough to record a dance practice for in half a day...Since being given the choreography. I don't care who you are, that's impressive. Lol As far as the dancers are concerned, I have a lot of respect for how amazing all of them really are. And I know that everyone's eye gets drawn to Hyunjin in dance practices. He's beautiful and his dancing is amazing. However even he has said the reason for that, in part, is because technically he overdances. Which is also one of the reasons he sweats so much more than the other members. However proper conditioning has allowed him to power through it and not have to stop, since the fans love it so much. That said he knows he's doing it. Lee Know even told him if he's able to handle it and wants too do so, and as long as he doesn't get too pulled down... Then dance how you want to dance. But to be mindful of his health too, but that's just because he worries about him. And when I say overdance, I mean that his moves don't conserve energy well or use things like momentum and kinetic energy well. But the extra force that is required to complete the moves look badass, specially on his tall thin frame. You aren't expecting it I don't think. Lol Then theres Changbin and Han, who are very powerful, very strong, and actually very skilled dancers. Han is our Ace and if you ask me , Changbin NEEDS to be considered at least an all-rounder right along side BangChan. All thee produce, Dance, Rap and sing beautifully. That right there is all-rounder skill at LEAST. I know, I know... Han sings BETTER than Changbin and Raps BETTER than Chan. 🙄 That is why he's considered the Ace. I know, he's also my bias lol However I dislike when having a bias makes you biased when it comes to the rest of their group. They ARE a group! And those two are right up there with him, because level of talent is very subjective from person to person. Why, because it's all art and art is Hella subjective. So... 3RACHA are all Aces and I'm still king to that. Oh, also, Han's and Changbin's Fancams for all their promotional stages are then 4th and 5th most viewed in the group after DanceRacha. However in the "Maniac" era, suddenly they jumped to 3rd and 4th. And once or twice they even surpassed Hyunjin and found themselves at 2nd and 3rd! How awesome is that. They all deserve so much love. As for the man who almost always holds the first spot, I have the sweetest fun fact for him! 😍 Lee Know was appointed Dance Leader when they debuted because the guys all loved his dance style, Felix snd Hyunjin trusted him to even teach them because he was a highly trained dancer and was set to become a big time Choreographer. Well he didn't even audition for JYPE, they saw him perform with his dance crew and called him to come in. But they didn't have anything g to do with him yet after that so they didn't call him back for like 2 years. And they BangChan needed a star dancer for the group he was putting together. He had seen Lee Know dance at WOD, so the company called sgain and asmed hkm to join. Then, once he entered the company, he broke the record for the shorted amount of time to complete the dance requirement classes for JYPE. Previously held by one of the twice girls and set at 3 months... Lee Know did it in 2 weeks. I mean my goodness lol and he still hold the record. As well as being one of the most fluid technical dancers to ever debute at the company. Once he was part of the group he had to learn how to sing and rap though. He now has one of the most beautiful falsetto in the group. And even though he is Dance Leader, he often asks Hyunjin to help him out because of how proud he is to see him shine. Lee Know picks who goes where and what how the set up and arrange stage performances as well. And he almost always puts Hyungin as the face and center of their stages and choreographies. This, in part, is because he loves hoe expressive Hyunjin is. Dont we all though? lol but he has a special love for it. See, he spent many years as a professional backup dancer, and part of the training that was drilled into them is to not attract too much attention. Give no face. Or, they simply covered their facces all together. So the way that Hyunjin AND Han are able to be so expressive is something he adores and also that he isn't accustomed to doing. So he always puts either Hyunjin if the choreography is hard hflows hip-hop, or Han if it's more groovy and flowy. Meanwhile, he gives Felix all of the stunts... because Felix has a 3rd degree black belt in Taekwondo. 🥰 Even though Lee Know himself has three of them in three different martial arts. He does all of this because, and I quote, "I am a member of Stray Kids, I am not just Minho anymore. As Mknho I danced for myself and it's ok if you shine as yourself. But as Lee Know I no longer do this for myself. As Lee Know, I am also Stray Kids. The group looks better and shines better as a unit. For me to shine brighter than them would be in poor taste for a leader. But if I pull back some here and there, and remember my place in the group, then we all shine equally. And that makes Stray Kids as a whole lot really cohesive and talented. Being on stage performing with my group, makes me feel like I have finally accomplished why life's goal." 🥺 I mean... COME ON! lol That said, this is why he may go unnoticed in the dance practices. He purposefully pulls back. More so than that though, like I said, these truly are practices. So he is busy watching all the other guys and making sure they are all there they are supposed to be. However that means that when they film these, apparently be had a habit of being kinda obvious in his "I'm watching" dance leader behavior. 🤣 So that is why you will notice he often wears a bucket hat or something. Specially if it's a number that has a lot of complicated moves because that is when he finds himself being teacher and not performer. That s his downfall I guess you could say... So, they put him in the big hat to try and keep him from looking at tbe others in the mirror. Lol My... these young men are so dang talented and I love them all so much!!
