PRODUCER REACTS | QUICK AND HELPFUL GUIDE TO STRAY KIDS (FIRST TIME REACTION) 

Anything else about Stray Kids that you'd like me to know? 🦁

They don't officially have "main, lead etc" 3racha - Chan, Changbin, Han Danceracha - Lee Know, Hyunjin, Felix Vocalracha - Seungmin, I.N Generally Seungmin is considered main vocal (Leader Chan said it too. Seungmin is their best vocalist). Han and Changbin are generally considered main rappers. Chan - mostly sings, but also raps Lee Know - both sings and raps Changbin - raps, rarely sings Hyunjin -mostly raps, sometimes sings Han - goes half to half rap and singing (ace) Felix - mostly raps, very rarely sings Seungmin - sings, very rarely raps I.N - sings, very rarely raps They can all do everything of course

03:49 Chan IS that sweet. In fact, he’s SWEETER. Also, iirc, Seungmin is the main vocalist, I.N. is pronounced “I.N.”, Lee Know is pronounced the way it looks and Changbin, Han and Felix all exist to confuse the collective K-Pop industry, if for completely different reasons.

The thing is, this isn't the best guide to use to get into them. Totally not your fault, you're new and it has a lot of views so it seems good. But it shows clear bias in the amount of time and information given for certain members vs others, some information that is outdated, and represents some members in very one-dimensional ways. For example, Hyunjin himself has said it makes him feel discouraged when all people see about him is his looks, rather than appreciating him for his talents, and the only thing the guide really said about him is that he's handsome. TeaNoSuga's 2022 guide is really good if you don't mind a long one

As for multiple "main thingies". They dont have positions. They have "rachas". Basically subunits that specialise in sth. 3Racha are producers but also rappers. But rappers are mostly: Changbin, Han, Hyunjin and Felix. Changbin and Han being best at it. Danceracha: Lee Know, Hyunjin & Felix with Lee Know being dance leader (basically he supervises the performances and helps the rest w choreos). Vocalracha: Seungmin and I.N but Chan also takes quite a few singing parts and Han takes on difficult high notes (Han's a real ace). Since they are in charge of their own line distribution - its very balanced. No center needed. During dancebreakes its usually one of the danceracha kids.

They have skzoo merch and they have their nicknames and emojies. Bangchan - Chan or Chris(Christopher if he is rly ekhm that day) Plush: WolfChan. Emoji -🐺 Lee Know - Lino, Minho, Devil Bunny, plush - LeeBit, Emoji: 😈🐰(sometimes 🐱) Changbin - Dwaekki - meaning pigbunny (Plush & nickname) - 🐰🐷 Hyunjin - Drama lama/drama queen, ferret. Plush - Jiniret. Emojies - 🥟, 🦙, 🐁 Han - Squirrel or quokka. Plush - HanQuokka. Emoji: 🐹🐿 Felix - Sunshine & Chick. Plush - Bokkari. Emoji: 🐥 or 🐈‍⬛ Seungmin - Puppy. Plush - PuppyM. Emoji: 🐶 I.N - Baby Bread. Plush - FoxINy. Emoji: 🦊 or🍞

so since this guide doesn’t really explain much about HOW skz was formed i’ll just run through that for you! Basically Chan (the leader) was a trainee at JYPE for 7 years before debuting. Skz was formed through a survival program under the same name, stray kids, and it was a show were all members faces the possibility of elimination. *survival show spoilers* felix and lee know we’re the only two members eliminated from the program. felix was eliminated because he spoke little to no korean at all, and lee know was eliminated because while he excelled in dancing his vocals and rap we still lacking. Later, they were brought back to the show for kinda like a redemption thing (they were never actually eliminated, JYP just did this to get the show views, they were always going to debut). Chan, being one of the oldest jyp trainees was later trusted with the job of hand picking the members, which honestly never happens in the industry as the company usually chooses the members. now, there were originally nine members in the group, Woojin left the group in late 2019 for personal reason, you will probably see a lot of videos with him blurred out and this is because some rumors of SA started up after he left the group (none have been proven but the way the situation was handled was enough for many people to unstan). Stray kids debuted with the song District 9 on march 25 of 2018, and they previously released a pre-debut track called “hellevator”. Skz has a multiple different forms of content which include SKZ-talker which usually consist of videos from behind the scenes of concerts and tours, there’s SKZ-Record which is where the members will release song covers and original songs they’ve written but aren’t released anywhere else other than youtube, there is UP ALL NIGHT SKZ where the some of the members basically have a sleepover, there’s SKZ-Player which is where they will release dance covers/choreo, and then there is SKZ CODE which is their variety show where they do different challenges, games etc. now for some more info on the members. Chan was actually born in seoul, south korea and moved to australia when he was a baby. Chan has a younger sister named Hannah who is talked about by fans a lot because ngl shes iconic (she also has a youtube channel called hannahbahng) and he has a younger brother named lucas. He also has a dog named berry (a girl), and he recently got to go back home to australia to see his family after 3 years of not seeing them! chan is also the oldest member of the group. next is lee know. lee know is the second oldest member. if you end up checking out their other forms of content like skz code you’ll see that he has a very “cold” sense of humor and is very much like a tsundere (cold on the outside warm on the inside person). many people think of him a mean but he’s really an absolute sweetheart. as this guide showed he has 3 cats that he absolutely adores, he is always posing pictures and videos of his cats on the jype bubble app (where jype idols can communicate with fans and send texts such as voice messages, videos, pictures, you pay for a “ticket” to talk to the members and you can buy every members bubble!). for the “minsung” part of the guide, lots of fans (unfortunately) like to romantically ship them and make edits like the one you saw in the video. han and lee know are very close friends and in korea being physically affectionate with each other is much more normalized than it is in America (especially for men). lee know used to be part of BTS’s dance crew and participated in their WINGS tour. he was a dancer at SOUL DANCE for about 5 years, and he even got into college with his own choreography he made and was going to get a degree in dance but later decided to become an idol. so he’s very experienced in dancing. next is changbin, he’s the third oldest member and one of the best rappers the industry has ever seen. it is rumored that he was wanted by several agencies before joining jype. changbin may seem very intimidating because of his intense rap and also, well, his huge muscles, but he really is the sweetest. he likes to be called baby changbin, and is often called the “fake maknae” maknae means youngest in korean so he acts like he’s the youngest but he’s really part of the hyung (oldest) line. you’ll often see him messing around with the actual youngest member (i.n. /jeongin) and jeongin absolutely hates it💀. changbin, while being known for his rapping, actually started out as a dancer and vocalist. in hisghscholl he even had his very own fans and fancams (fan recorded videos of a preformance) during talent shows at his school where he was dancing. the reason he changed to a rapper is because his vocal coach told him he had a very good tone for rapping and he later found himself excelling at rap. obviously changbin is still to this day a great dancer and vocalist (you can see his king of masked singer performance for his singing skills) next is hyunjin. hyunjin had quite literally NO experience in singing, dancing, or rapping whatsoever when he was scouted. so this means when he started his trainee period for jype he was harshly criticized for 1) his dancing skills, and 2) his pronunciation while rapping. for the dancing one, hyunjin was repeatedly told that he was pretty enough to not even have to try to debut. this really hurt his pride and he said “it felt like they’re were saying , you can’t make it with your efforts so just go with your looks”. obviously seeing him now, he’s an EXCELLENT dancer and was even chosen as the october artist of the month for huge korean youtube channel Studio choom where he performed a fully choreographed dance routine to mötley crew by post malone. for his pronunciation while rapping, that has also drastically improved over the years, he was told that it was difficult to understand him while rapping because his enunciation was not very good and he would kinda slur his words. with persistent practice he has overcome this and is one of my favorite rappers! hyunjin is also extremely talented with singing! he has such a soft and sultry voice, which you can hear in his song “little star” and “ice cream” which are both released on the SKZ-RECORD playlist on their youtube. he has a dog named Kkami that he’s very close with, and he sometimes shows us him during his vlogs! (skz also has vlogs that they do on their channel!) hyunjin also grew up as an only child! hyunjin can speak english quite well and often speaks english with the other members like felix,chan, seungmin, and han, who also speak english. he is quite affectionate with the other members and is also a huge drama queen! there are many video compliations of him being dramatic and he’s also known to be quite sassy. next is Han! han was born in korea but spent a majority of his adolescence and childhood in malaysia for his studies. this means he also has a very decently good grasp on understanding and speaking english. he left malaysia after making a deal with his parents where if he didn’t debut within two years then he would come back to malaysia and finish his studies. Han is also known to be one of the best rapppers in the industry but he’s actually most often called “the ACE of kpop”. this is because he literally can do everything and he excelled at it all. he’s an amazing vocalist, dancer, rapper, and producer. while he has amazing stage presence is is a very “quirky” person, he has pretty bad social anxiety and is an introvert. he had once taken a break from fan meets because his anxiety had gotten pretty bad. Han, unlike many idols, writes about mental health and the struggles of it in his music. this is a pretty big deal because talking about mental health in the kpop industry is kind of taboo. han is also quite the drama queen and is also very affectionate with the members, always tryna kiss them or smacking their butts (all the members do this btw). fun fact: he has a lazy eye, and his birthday is one day before felix’s.

A helpful guide to stray kids 2022 edition by heliophilix is the best guide and it’s 35minutes.

The song that you wanted to know the name from Han's part is called ,,I got it" wich he wrote

Songs I recommend from skz Cypher (Changbin) , Domino , Double knot and Back door

This is not mentioned in the guide (because it is not a very complete guide) although 3Racha are the ones that compose and produce most/all of SKZ's discography, the other members also usually compose or contribute when writing songs. In fact, if you see a SKZ song that doesn't have 3Racha in the songwriting credits, it's most likely because one of the other members wrote the song.

Thank you Amari Leone for reacting to a stray kids guide and getting to know stray kids. I like this guide because it is quick and you can put names to faces. The guide went in order of age so Bang Chan is the oldest and the leader. While the guide is quick and fun it leaves out a lot of details. Fandom name is Stay (no a typo). Fandom name is Stray without the R which is the Reason stray kids stay. In other words we the Stay Fans are the reason Stray Kids stay. You will see this quote in every official JYP Stray Kids m/v "Stray Kids every where around the world you make stray kids stay" you wont see this on skz record or skz-player single songs or any mix tape videos or any Japanese videos. You can call Bang Chan Chris or Christopher which is his birth name. Bang Chan is his Korean name. Or some call him Channie. It helps when you first are getting to know them to separate from Changbin's name. I would highly recommend reacting to the longer 2022 updated version but it is long. A lot of people break it up in 2 parts or have long video reaction. either way it works for me. Here is the link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dYS2Bf0a3WA.html to the long updated version. They do have a shorter one but it is a few months older and doesn't include the most up to date since Stray Kids puts out on a regular basis they have a lot and I mean a lot of content to react to. They do have some sit positions but Stray Kids really kind of threw that out the window. Us stays are not kidding when we say they are all rounders. They all rap, dance and have amazing vocal. But if you need positions the 2 youngest are the main vocalist., Even though 3 racha are a rap sub unit and all rap. BangChan leans more towards a vocalist. Hyunjin doesn't get enough praises for his rap which he mostly does but he also has amazing vocals. Han is considered a main rapper but he also does a lot of the higher vocals on a lot of their songs. Felix and Lee Know can do both flawlessly and does what ever is needed for the song. Changbin who is the main rapper is my favorite vocals for stray kids because i love his gritty sound when he sings or raps. All the stray kids are associated with animal characters and they do have a SKZoo line her are their animals BangChan - SKZoo animal is Wolf called Wolf Chan and also uses the wolf emojie Lee Know - uses the cat emjoie a lot but his skzoo animal is Rabbit called Leebit Changbin - Pig Rabbit which in Korea is called a Dwaekki his name is Hyunjin - SKZoo animal is a ferret called Jiniret Han - SKZ animal is a Quokka called Han Quokka Felix - SKZ animal is a baby chicken called BbokAri Seungmin SKZ animal is a puppy called PuppyM I.N (pronounced like the letters) - is a desert fox called FoxI.Ny

You should react to the detailed guide of 2022 ! It would be better !

16:52 this song which Han sang Is know as "I got it" you'll LOVE IT 😊

Each member has a representative animal Chan - 🐺 (or he is often called kangaroo) Lee Know - 🐰 Changbin - 🐷🐰(dwaekki - which is translated to pig-rabbit) Hyunjin - 🥟 (he is often referred to as a ferret or llama but uses this emoji on posts) Han - 🐿 Felix - 🐥 Seungmin - 🐶 I.N - 🦊

I'm late but I thought I'd add my 4 cents about the world of Stray Kids. With Bang Chan (I call him by his birth name Christopher or Chris to cut down on mixing names up) He is the oldest and he personally selected each memeber of the group and they are pretty much completely self produces which neither are a thing in the Kpop world. They tease him at times calling him old man which he's cool with bc he knows it's in fun and out of love. He and Felix are clost bc they are away from family as they live in Korea so they have that kind of bond and Felix is like his little Aussie brother. He also works a lot to the point he doesn't get much sleep which causes issues with insomnia sometimes. I adore them all but I'm partial to Han because he suffers with social anxiety so it's hard for him around new people and there have been different videos of him stressing. Once he had to leave the stage. The guys are always there for him but Lee Know seems to take the lead on that at times. I would say Han is more of an introvert but when he has to perform he does what he needs to do. Lee Know is the 2nd oldest and he and Chris are kinda the mom and dad for the other members. Lee Know before becoming an Idol used to be a back up dancer for BTS and he is a trained dancer. I.N (eye-n) is the Maknae (youngest) so he is babied a lot. There is a video of a song he wrote with the help of Chirs and Changbin(Binne) and it is the cutest thing!! Has a very Latin beat and it's called "Maknae on Top." They all have very silly personalities and those videos are a lot of fun to watch bc it is the duality thing and you wouldn't expect it lol. Try watching some of their 2 Kids in a Room videos. Those are a great help in getting to know them or even the 1 Kid in a Room videos. Oh, also, they do have mascot pets/plushys that the Stays have named them. You saw Han kept saying Quokka which is Squirrel in Korean. Probably bc he stuffs his cheeks with food b4 chewing. The funny hat Changbin had on and him saying pig and rabbit, well that's his plushy's name, Dwaekki which is a cross btwn a pig and rabbit. There are videos of them dancing wearing their mascot plushy. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ogH9_tw9eeg.html and this one where a fan did a little editing of them and it's quite funny ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D-WZxdurOkM.html Yes they are very fashionable as you can see in their music videos but they love it as well. Recently Hynchin and Felix were in Paris for a YSL event and they looked amazing as always. 🤔 Mmm that's all I can think of right now. I hope you will enjoy your exploration of STZ.

Skz = 8 rappers = 8 vocalists= 8 dancers There are no official positions in skz !

Thank you so much for your reaction to straykids ❤️ As stay,I really appreciate your reaction ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Okay I gitta BEG you to watch Mirror Mirror by Milli, F. Hero and Changbin, it's so fucking good

If you get the chance to check out a long guide for Stray Kids you should because there is a lot to learn about them both personality wise and professionally. Skz are self-produced but each member was also picked by leader Bang Chan, they were officially formed through a survival show but it was the company evaluating Bang Chan's selection basically. At debut their was a 9th member who left after about a year (it can be a touchy subject for many and is often best avoided if you don't want comment section drama, they rerecorded their old stuff so we have ot8 versions of everything). Stray Kids initially had roles but they were fairly quicky erased because they all do everything and study hard at everything too. 3racha are the main producing unit but the others write too, and Hyunjin has been producing for a while and is beginning to release his songs. Stray Kids have a thing called SKZ Player or SKZ Record which are youtube only releases members do either solo or in small units just to stretch their skills. There are vocal covers, own choreographies, solo songs they've written. It's basically a way for them to experiment and grow. Han's song 'I got it' that you liked was one of them. As for extra info: they have SKZoo, animal plishies for each one. Bang Chan: Wolf (Wolf Chan-alpha and pack leader) Lee Know: Rabbit (Leebit- demon bunny, looks cute but can bite) Changbin: Pig Bunny (Dwaekki- he likes food and is also very cute, dwaekki is pabbit in korean/pig rabbit) Hyunjin: Ferret (Jinniret- honestly not sure why but it's cute, he's also represented by a dumpling or llama in older stuff for drama llama) Han: Quokka/Chipmunk (Quokka, because of his cheeks) Felix: Chick (Bbokarri- because he is adorable and precious like a fluffy chick) Seungmin: Puppy (Puppy M- looks very puppy like, adorable, fandom also jokes Puppy M has an extensive criminal record because Seungmin can be very savage when he wants) I.N: Fennic Fox (Fox.I.Ny- he just looks a lot like a fox) Other useful skz lore: SKZ Family. So this started as a skit several years ago where they played a family and the roles kind of stuck and the brought back SKZ Family for their 3rd anniversary. But they refer to their family dynamics a lot. It's worth checking out the Roleplay Gone Wrong and 3rd anniversary videos for the full background but the brief of it is- Felix (Grandpa) married to I.N (Grandma) Han (oldest son, Dad) married to Hyunjin (Mum) Seungmin (uncle) married to Lee Know (aunt) Changbin (eldest child) Bang Chan (baby) So if you ever hear them talk about their marriage that's why. There are whole love triangles and stuff. Skz produce a lot of music and a lot of variety content. They have their official releases, skz records & players, skz code (variety show), skz talkers (behind the scenes eps), and Chan does a weekly vlive called Chan's Room. They are also v skilled at live performances and will rarely perform a song the same way twice when doing awards shows etc. they usually rearrange them. I hope you keep exploring and enjoying 😄

Han -i got it

Stray kids never disappoint please react to their songs my fav are-gods menu, thunderous,back door,venom,freeze,domino, uhhh literally all of their songs are amazing 😩😭✋🤧

Others have answered the other questions. As for cyphers, Changbin's solo Cypher is the go-to (it came out around the same time as Han's solo diss track I Got It, the track you were also asking about). Both 3racha and Skz have numerous tracks where each member writes their own bit, but the most cypher-like are Maze of Memories (both 3racha and Skz versions), Muddy Water (Skz rap line), Heyday (3racha) and 3racha (Skz, 3racha unit track).

Ok so I don't know if you have time but if you do it would be great to watch an another guide because this one is outdated and doesn't really give much informations wich is pretty sad. I know that the better guides are longer but if you really want to know more about them I think it would be very fun. ☺️ Edit : Can some of my fellow stays comments a good guide like alex's one or another ?

i just bought tickets to see them in concert for the first time i indeed will die plus im seeing Ateez in November it was nice knowing yall 💀💀

"make sure that i got it" my friend you already sad the title ( I got it by han)

I think the best guide is the one with teanosuga.. I hope you can react to it since it's complete from predebut to survival show, winning the kingdom performance in 2021 and upto the present.. Wish you can react to it "Stray Kids updated guide 2022 by teanosuga", thanks!

Reaction to chanlix (bang chan and felix) sweet moment

React to Han got it, 3racha runners high, straykids maknae on top

Unfortunately this guide did not give any important information at all

If you want to get to know them more off stage I recommend you SZK CODE, it's a series of them playing different games and concepts like Mafia or who's the king (the first episode is actually called "Winter is coming" and they fight for the throne in a GOT like setting). I'd be nice to watch you react to those, as you can already see here the kids are chaotic, so everything off stage is hilarious pure chaos 🤗 Btw, JYP removed the basic stage roles and now is only Bang Chan as Leader (and yes, he's the oldest) and Lee Know as Dance Leader (second oldest, the video got them by age), but that's about it, they're really versatile so basic stage roles don't fit to them.

That Han Jisung song is I GOT IT & ALIEN...RUN...I WISH YOU BACK..❤️

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dYS2Bf0a3WA.html It may be a little long but I think you can understand the group and the members better with this video.

The HEAT from Han is called ‘I Got’ it will soon be available on Spotify and such as they will finally put in an album

Oh no, sorry, this one is not a very good guide. I recommend a 2022 guide by

bang chan is not born in Australia

I think this is a good guide for someone new to SKZ. I don't think it's helpful to throw too much information at a new fan all at once.

Hi. I msgd you on Patreon. Could you please get back to me? A lot of your older videos I subscribed to see seem to be mia. Thx in advance
