Reacting to 2023 STRAY KIDS Guide - tons of info! 

Bang Chan is one of THE most connected idols in the industry. He's got other idols, single artists, rappers, bands, producers, directors, actors and lots of others on speed-dial. No kidding. He knows just about EVERYONE.

Idk if people have said it before in the comments but hyunjin is now the official ambassador for Versace and Felix is the official ambassador for Louis Vuitton!

thanks so much for taking the time to watch my guide, even if there are a few typos & silly mistakes (i rectified them in the CCs🙈) and I genuinely hope you enjoyed learning about the kids! welcome to the fandom🥳

1:29:19 Han, Seungmin and I.N all have an episode on Lee Mujin service and they’re definitely worth checking out.

Streetlight is an incredibly emotional song. It's kind of loosely about suicide awareness. It's one of my favourite solo songs any of the boys have ever done.

Changbin was on Show Me The money years ago, he doesn't want to talk about it, lol. Changbin, Han and our very own Seungmin have all appeared on The Masked Singer. Han, Seungmin and IN have all appeared on the Lee Mujin Service

This guide was made before the final numbers of the preorders were in. In the end I believe it was over 5 million preorders and within the first hour of it being released they sold another million or half a million. (Someone please correct me if I’m wrong)

Just an added fact is that Changbin is also the biggest girl group stan as well. He's often called the extra member of the groups for how often he is caught dancing and singing to them.

Since Chan (the leader) trained for 7 years he is close with many JYP artists (and former JYP trainees who joined different companies). He is kind of like Twice's little brother (age-wise he is kinda in the middle but he was really tiny😊). He used to smuggle food from JYP cafeteria for them when they were supposed to be on diet and after that he got scolded by the company for eating too much.😅 He is especially close with the Japanese members so he has their accent when he speaks Japanese. It's cute.😊

1:02:14 Go Live (Tortoise, and the Hare) was an experimental song. Just to test some stuff. It didn't go over very well i guess but it is an AMAZING song and the beat is so good. They have such a wide range of styles including their own style called "mala taste". 21:53 is Time Out. Every year for "Stay Week" (7 days ending with the anniversary Stay's got their name) they spoil us with content and on the day itself they release a song for Stay. Time Out was 2022's song, Party's Not Over is this years (not in video as it was only 3 weeks ago). Random fun fact: 3 days ago Han released a new solo that once again shows he's the 4th gen Ace. Most of SKZ's sadder/emotional songs are written by Han. Not all, but a lot of them. Once you get a taste of Stray Kids you can pretty much tell what songs Han wrote. (He's involved in all of them but he does write some by himself, as well as Chan and Changbin). I've only been a Stay since January and i can tell you that this group is 100% worth while! I fell in love so fast and now i'm trapped. I'm super excited to see you along on this journey i just recently started and still have so much to see.

Seungmin is really just something he is good at absolutely everything.

We actually haven't had Chan's Room since May :( Long story but TLDR: People got butthurt at him for something he said and he even ended up apologizing for it which he DID NOT have to do. The whole thing is very stupid but since then, the company hasn't allowed him to do it anymore and we are all suffering from the lack our emotional support australian man :( (i can explain it better if you wanna know more btw)

Kindom legendary war was EPIC. All of the 6 groups (Syray kids, Ateez, the boyz, sf9, BtoB and ikon) where soooooo good. And watching there interactions between the groups was so heartwarming... the only thing i really hatet was the ranking stuff but thats OK

now hyunjin is a global brand ambassador for versace,he is very talented,whether it's in terms of rapping,singing,dancing or composing songs.he is also very good at painting no less than professional painters.he was also very famous even before they debuted,hyunjin was very famous among jyp trainees,even at his high school he also got the nickname 'Prince SOPA' because he had a face like a prince,not only handsome he also excelled in school whether it's in academics or sports.he has a kind and sincere heart,he even donated his personal money to help earthquake victims in Turkey of 100 million won or around 75,544.72 United States Dollars 💗💗💗

Stray Kids has 8 members but each one is incredibly talented. Banghan being a producer, composer, lyricist, vocalist and rapper. Lee Know, a professional dancer who took his chance to join JYP, show his potential and made his debut, even though he is the member with the least vocal experience, he takes singing lessons to date and till now is one of the most loved vocalists within the fandom because his voice is powerful and beautiful. Changbin who is not only an amazing rapper but excels in both songwriting and singing. Hyunjin who I personally love the way he raps is an amazing main dancer and artist. Han, the ace of kpop or the All Rounder idol of the 4th generation, who started at a young age of 13-14 years as a composer and still amazes us with the quality of his songs. Felix, the remarkable guy with the deep voice who fools us all but when given the opportunity he shows us his beautiful and sweet voice, a unique rapper and incredible dancer. Seungmin, our official not-so-official main vocalist, with a wonderful voice, he can sing anything from an EDM song to a beautiful ballad and it's going to sound just as good. I.N or Jeongin who personally is my favorite vocalist of SKZ (alongside Lee Know) he is an incredible pianist and vocalist that we have seen grow and has shown us how much that he loves to sing. Stray Kids are full of talent and are one of the most complete groups of the generation.

All member of SKZ have contribution to write their songs, for example the mixtape numbers they write it together

One thing not mentioned about Felix is that he was a Taekwondo student and competitor all over Australia for 12 years before becoming an idol. He has a black belt (not sure what level) and won 63 medals and other awards during that time. His TKD moves are sometimes featured during certain songs. Chan was a competitive swimmer and has a room full of medals, ribbons and trophies at his parents' house (his dad was / still is(?) a swimming coach). He also played several other sports. Hyunjin was a competitive swimmer and soccer player for several years. Lee Know and Changbin also have black belts in Taekwondo, and Lee Know has studied other martial arts, as well. Seungmin was a baseball player for several years and wanted to become a professional. But life took him another direction. He still loves baseball and has made a few trips to meet one of the pro Korean teams.

Hyunjin is also very good with all kind of sports especially with ball, and despite of his dramatic personality, he is a fearless person who enjoys scary rides like he can jump a bungee jump like nothing

Lee Know’s vocal tone is so beautiful ♡ he have the most beautiful, angelic falsetto ♡ he can sing in deep and in high voice. He have a solo song called "Limbo" that he wrote by himself, please check it

Honestly imo Kingdom is really worth seing fully, just even on your time for yourself, every performance was great and you get to see other groups too c: it was a rollercoaster watching it, really fun and has so many epic moments.

So you're now reacting to my favorite Korean band, the vocals are even better live, will be back to this reaction to suggest more songs, stan The Rose 🌹

Congratulations on getting through the guide! This was fun to watch! I'm sure you're still reeling from all the info, but as you watch more and more of SKZ's content, you'll become more familiarized. Stray Kids really are multifaceted individuals, and collectively as a group. Like you mentioned in the video, I think you'll truly love CHILL, the song was written by HAN and is one of my all-time favorites - the saxophone in it gives me chills. Additionally, Lee Mujin Service will be a great watch for HAN, Seungmin, and I.N! Can't wait for your STAY journey to continue!!

42:10 😂 Circus, that's my favorite SKZ song right there!!

Changbin was on Show Me the Money. Changbin, Han and Seungmin were all (separately) on The Masked Singer. The whole team (minus Hyunjin, due to being on hiatus) competed against 5 other K-pop groups on KINGDOM: Legendary War in 2021 and won. BTW, SKZ is pronounced SKIZZ.

Changbin is someone that once you fall in love with as the person and the artist that he is, there's no going back. 🩵 oh wait- that applies to every single member 😅

If you're that committed to falling down the rabbit hole, watch ''Stray kids survival show'' you're welcome❤ the drama is chef's kiss and the very foundation of stay's love and commitment to skz... you gotta watch everything, every second is a highlight

1:02:02 that is tortoise and the hare in my opinion it's such an underrated song. The bpm for the song is so slow yet the snare is so fast and you dont realise its so slow because of the snare. The lyrics also play with the snare so when they say faster it goes slower and when they day slower it goes faster said lyrics are also full of wordplay, refrences, idioms and analogies. Sorry if this doesn't make sense rnglish is not my girst language but i would highly recommend listening yo the song and looking into it 😊

3 SKZ members sing at Lee Mujin Service: Han, Seungmin and I.N It will be a lot of fun to follow your days in the Stay world Thanks ❤

YAY!! A new STAY!! Welcome to the FAM!

Seungmin : exists Hyunjin : HAHAHAHA That's my bias ❤ That's my kasu ❤

This was such a lovely reaction! I’m excited to binge watch the rest of your skz reactions~ 😊

I’m glad it shows the video names that they’re from! That helps a lot with finding the videos that these clips are from!

The summary, easy-listening song is Time Out and Stray Kids originally wrote it as a surprise present for Stay. It was really says a solo song, but it was also released on their latest album ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ it's the perfect time if you want to just relax and feel the Sunshine and the breeze, even in the middle of winter

12:40 About Kingdom, You don’t have to watch the whole survival show, you can just watch the performances and perhaps a little behind the scenes.

I genuinely enjoyed watching this guide again with you. Welcome to the Stray Kids fandom. SKZ will never disappoint. They have diverse discography and you will definitely find something that you'll like. They made me like unstructured songs and all other genres I never would have listen to. I am so happy that they make their own music and they get to share it to the world. Looking forward to more SKZ reactions from you 😁

Wow! I would love to see more of your amazing artwork!

I loved your reactions to Skz, new follower here. You are welcome to the fandom, Stay is the most random and fun fandom, just like their idols. Thanks for reacting to Skz, they are amazing

Stray Kids are currently coming back with their first Japanese EP and the title track would be released at midnight later. It's Social Path featuring LiSA 🩵

Okay I never knew about Streetlight until now and I've honestly been wanting more vocalist Changbin

This is random, but 1 fact that people usually will find out the more they listen to skz is that, they always switched up the person to sing the verses in the song. Meaning, the same verse will be sang by other person the 2nd time or the 3rd time and so on. That what makes them more unique. For example, this one verse is sang by felix the first time, the 2nd time the verse came up, maybe hyunjin will be the one who sang it. So the same verse might sound differently through out the song.

Tortoise and the hare is one of my all time favourite SKZ songs. Thank you for more SKZ content.

I think with creative freedom in their music in JYPE, it started with 2pm who had members who had their hand in producing their songs and album, way way back. PM members had the tall order of rejecting JYP song which at that time was unconceivable. Then next came the Got7 members who also have some members give their had a hand into making songs, then of course Day6. The first kpop idols I knew who had so much power in their music was Bigbang and GD, from the 2nd gen. But 3racha making and producing their music in its entirety since debut definitely is such a ballsy move for JYPE, and really shows how much confidence the company has in them as well as how much talent this group have in music...

THANK YOU FOR THIS❤❤❤

7:17 Yeah and it's no surprise that a lot of neverlands are also stays, and vice versa! They have a lot in common especially when it comes to their heavy involvement in music production and group concepts! Thank you for your reaction :)

Thank u for ure reaction . Well done and u really work hard 😭❤

The cooking show Seungmin & Felix started years ago is The Puppy Kitty Cooking Show. 😊

SKZ all in !!

I love seeing you discovering stray kids. There really isnt a bad track out there and lots of hard hitting taboo subjects in the lyrics.

Thank you for deep diving on Stray Kids members. I hope you can do reactions on Stray Kids Han Jisung in LeeMujin Service too. You'll definitely love it.🙂

I LOVE yor reactions to stray kids❤❤❤

I was pulled in last year a lot of people say you find Stray Kids when you need them the most and last year my whole family moved and I stayed behind with my boyfriend so i felt alone for a long time and they just kept popping up on my TikTok none stop mostly Felix and from then on I was hook on the group I love them ❤❤

thank you for this!!🥰 And welcome to Stayville ❤

it's so cool to me that for both of us Blackpink was our intro to Kpop and God's Menu was our intro to SKZ! Also DDU-DU DDU-DU specifically was my first Kpop song and SKZ are my favorite group so it was a really special moment for me as well when they did that mashup

Survival shows are blocked on RU-vid. I love watching Kingdom and skz survival shows with new stay but most create Patreon for that

What a wonderful reaction 😊. So happy you enjoyed delving deeper into my favorite boys! Looking forward to future reactions ❤. They are so kind, hilarious and talented. You won't regret stanning these guys!

well..welcome to the fandom..you gonna lovessss these guys

For their predebut survival show, it would be great to listen to their Mixtape Album coz that will give you their musical competence predebut. For Kingdom, Mnet has their stages (sadly the full version somehow went poof and u can only watch with their competitors reactions, which has its own charm i suppose. But sadly you'll only watch seven members after their Miroh Intro. You can watch their polished 8 memvber version of their final song WOLFGANG tho). There are special behind the scenes for Kingdom, too, where you can see snippets of how Stray Kids prepared for their stages (those from Mnet and those in Stray Kids Channel). And if you havent yet fully internalized the level of control or self production that SKZ has with their music, I also recommend watching their Album intros where the not only talk about the songs in the album, but even show you the snippet of 3racha leading the recording. Meanwhile, you'll also see how Lee Know leads dance practices in their S Class Intro p2. (I havent exactly seen ur skz reactions before thus guide so im just assuming stuff rn 😅) Sorry if i cant really just link all the videos in this comment, im gonna have to leave that youtube surfing to you 😂 hope u have fun listening to more of their diverse (and still piling up) music 🎉

This video is 1hr almost 2 hours but It seems short haha... I really love them... Its worth watching... Thanks 😊

as we always say,, it will take u atleast 2 years to catch up if u stan skz starting 2023,, cuz as u watch past contents, new ones always kept on coming

I enjoyed watching this (now that I had time!) One question you asked was if there was a condensed version of Kingdom: Legendary War, I just searched "Stray Kids Kingdom performances" and there's one that has all but the last one that was poor quality (apparently) and some with other idols reactions to their performances. I watch them again and again because they are jaw dropping performances. Watching their debut survival show in your own time is a good idea as it really helped me solidify who was who and what they bought to the whole Skz persona.

someone must have said it but YES changbin went to show me the money haha :)

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! 🙏

So happy you got this uploaded in the end! Depending on your mood there are so many favorite songs as I can't really name 1 favorite song. Oh and 3 members went to Lee Mujin service (Han, Seungmin and I.N). As always, can't wait for your next video and going down this rabbit hole ❤‍🔥

10:05 That would be Changbin. He entered the competition.

Im sure youve heard, but while kingdom doesnt have a compilation, there are videos of the performances for each round, and watching those js a lot faster than the entire show!

Off topic but your bookshelves look amazing! Any chance we'll ever get a bookshelf tour???? 😅

Обязательно надо посмотреть кингдом

AAAAAAAA OMG MY BIAS MY ANGEL MY LOVE SO BEAUTIFUL SO PERFECT SO SEXY SO CUTE BABY SEUNGMIN.

Even if you don't watch Kingdom I still recommend watching their performances off of the show, because they really are on another level 😭 And if you want to see the preparations behind them, skz filmed behind the scenes practice videos for the performances on their yt channel (it doesnt really matter if you watch them in order)

I.N also has had braces but he got them off in 2018 I believe seungmin too and he got them off in January of this year

Forgot to add, Streetlight by Changbin 😢 that song is powerful & definitely makes the feels run especially knowing how many suffer from mental health issues brought on by loneliness.

If you want to listen more to Changbin's vocals, I have two little recos. You can hear it on his line for Red Lights OT8 Version and MBC's/MusicCore's Karaoke episode with StrayKids specifically the Eyes, Nose & Lips section that he sang with Chan. You'll also love Chan's vocals even more in that. 🩵 But you can watch the full two episodes cause it was so fun 😂

They’re so talented,cool,handsome, beautiful,kind,funny,friendly…. Yeah,so amazing😎 They're a real family!!! I love all the members so much .

I enjoyed watching this again with you, my 3rd time now, lol. I couldn't help laughing when you were pronouncing I.N like IN at first but then you seemed to realise it was pronounced like the letters I and N. I look forward to the rest of your SKZ (Skiz) journey! 💜

Winter falls is a great Song !!! (one of my favourites)

I miss Chans room so much 😭😭 JYP doesn’t let him do them anymore

Idk if it was said but they are the first kpop group to perfom to A lollapalooza festival (not THE lollapalooza = THE chicago is TXT, They performed weeks after) in their case it was Lolla Paris, the 21st of july this year !

1:16:42 Chill and Collision both remind me of old “yacht rock” songs.

Thank you for such a wonderful reaction. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Han was also on Leemujin as well. You also liked Victory Song. Stray Kids are my absolute favorites. They are so super talented.

Sadly Chan is no longer going to be doing Chans room allegedly but old ones are archived.. woohoo #100

Han❤

Btw Felix has now been officially announced as a House Ambassador for LV 😊

Changbin was actually on a episode of show me the money

Thank you for reacting to a guide! I would recommend reacting to a funny compilation it will show more of stray kids personalities

SKZ has music for all tastes

It Amazing.😊😊😊😊

😍❤️🔥👍

I hadn't seen that reaction yet, Pierre! Have you already chosen your favorite member (Bias)?

Tbh I didn't realize how many typos this guide has until I saw him react to it lol

S Class is their latest korean song as of June, but Social Path came out today! It's a japanese title collaboration with japanese singer LiSA who is famous for all her anime openings.and endings. It's absolutely awesome and you won't get anything fesher than that. But S Class remains a must as well. As for Kingdom : there is a series of 5 episodes called Behind, that are solely dedicated to the SKZ journey during that survival competition. It's better to watch that and the corresponding songs, rather than the zimlion Mnet episodes that show all 6 groups and less interesting stuff...

i cant wait to see you listen to/watch more stray kids! ❤

YES! DEFINITELY check out the "Lee Mujin Service" done for each of the Stray Kids members who did one! I'm not sure why, but every time there was more than one member on a program, Alex (the guide creator) only mentioned one of the memebrs who were on it. Unfortunately, it causes confusion to the people watching when they decide to check out a program, and then they tend to overlook the other members that performed there. (It happened with her last guide to, she mentioned Changbin performing on "'The Masked Singer" however both him and Han were on it, the same day even.) Which actually happens to be the same exact situation here, and Not only Seungmin has an episode on 'Lee Mujin Service'... Felllpw VocalRacha member I.N. also has one. And, of course, mister ace himself, Han. Incfact, come to think of it, not only were Changbin and Han two of the few rappers who were sent to 'The Masked Singer" to represent their group vocally. Then, of course, there's Han Jisung... (although I'm not sure in this case whether he was just "one of the few" or if he was, at least at the time it was recorded, perhaps the only rapper...) who was invited to perform on 'Lee Mujin Service'. You know, now that i think of it, what Alex, the crestor of the guide, mentioned in the beginning about trying her best not to be biased ... she probably meant Hannie. Lol Yeah, he is her bias, so, i guess she was trying to ensure she didn't favor him in the guide? Perhaps just went a little to fsr in the other direction.

1:01:54 The song Go Live (Han was rapping to it and it reminded you of Fire Starter by The Prodigy) is actually a remix of their own song, The Tortoise and The Hare. Go Live is on their Go Live album and Tortoise and the Hare is from Stray Kids album In Life. Happy Listening 😊

@21:52 on your video.....the song is called Time Out and it is a great summer song. Another fun one is "Surfin' " . BTW, several of the SKZ play instruments. Chan - drums, piano and guitar (ukulele too, I think) Han - piano and guitar Seungmin - piano and guitar I.N - piano (I read somewhere that he also plays guitar, but I'm not totally sure about that.) Felix - piano Hyunijin - piano Not sure if Changbin and Lee Know play anything.

Рекомендую посмотреть минифильмы где они показывают съемку клипов. Там очень много интересного и о процессе и о самих ребятах

Han was also in Lee Mujin service

6:55 lol there's actually an interview out there where JYP (not JYPE) explains how he made the track for All In (title for their first Japanese EP) and was very nervous presenting it to SKZ because he was afraid 3RACHA would reject it This was 2.5 years after their debut btw, he didn't even touch their discography before then and really hasn't been involved in anything since tbh

Stays love long content❤

Kingdom is really awesome, the production put into the performances is like nothing I’ve ever seen before and I re-watch it a lot, but the videos will get blocked by RU-vid, others have tried it and had to Patreon it. But it’s definitely worth a watch, especially if you want to get your toes into other guy groups.

listen to Angel Haze - A Tribe Called Red (Official Video) and or Angel Haze - Black Dahlia she needs more love and respect
