I watched all of your SKZ reactions so far and man nobody has ever picked up on their names and sound and style in their songs as fast as you did. Kudos! You know your stuff and you’re incredibly perceptive. I’m really enjoying your reactions and look forward to more exploration of our beloved Stray Kids
Yeah it took me almost a full month to be able to recognize them all and I still have a bit of trouble sometimes when I'm collecting memes 😅 it shocked me when he managed to get everyone's names so well
I also wanted to say how much i enjoy your reactions! I really respect the fact that you learned all the names of the members so you can point them out, and the way you go in depth with the music and respect the work they've put in. There's plenty of reactors that I believe just react for views and don't take the time out to learn the members or recognize the effort they've put in. You talk about their sound, their choreography, and performance as a whole. I can't wait until you react to more Stray Kids, I'm definitely here for your journey!
Tablo was the security guard at the end of the video! Also fun little fact, when he wrote “Tablo” in the crossword, it was on the numbers 7-19-24 which was the release date of their ATE album. They love dropping all these little hints
In Megaverse, the guard scribbles their picture in the newspaper and represents the haters. Stray kids transform into each other (one for all and all for one) and hit him with their music.
I like your reaction because you react like you actually react it without exaggeration. You are one of the few reactors who can pick up member names/face recognition really quick. Also I love your mellow tone of speaking style with personal perception of music preference.
YOU'RE MY NEW FAVORITE REACTOR!!!! Anyone can see how much you genuinely appreciate Stray Kids' songs. The way you learned their names so quickly is so impressive! You are definitely a special and genuine reactor. Please continue your journey with Stray Kids❤❤❤❤
Stray Kids is one of my favorites because I feel like they use different, random sounds and put it together in a banger hit. My favorite currently is Item, which doesn't have a MV, but there are videos on YT that are strictly lyrics and is color coded to show which member is singing. I really enjoy you're reactions a lot! Looking forward to more.
your facial recognition is super impressive wth 😭 you learned their names and faces so fast. i love hearing your breakdowns, it’s so interesting! 3racha and the producers they work with really know how to craft music that will never get boring lol
I think you should watch whichever video your heart desires and bring us along for the ride! That being said, I highly recommend SLASH, RED LIGHTS, Case 143!
Don't recommend red lights for a newbie lol. He should continue with ones that show a good general picture of skz like he's been doing and at least watch the guide before he gets into those kinda of ones I think
Your reactions are so thoughtful, ty for spending time on stray kids!!! For side effects, there is a GORGEOUS special performance video that has truly artful interpretive choreo. I would love to see you react to that😂. I love that you are so open and respectful to artists' works, even if it's outside of your norm❤. If you like slow, chill vibes, though, they have those, too! Try Chill, ex, streetlight, red lights, blueprint, the view, cover me, leave, winter falls, lonely street, twilight, lose my breath (live stray kids version), secret secret, mix tape: oh, etc. Can't wait for more!❤
That voice you hear in the background of the chorus is listing off the side effects anyone can phase when trying to figure out who they are in this life. Basically, they're the side effects of life. Insomnia, anxiety, agitation, nausea, etc. This title track was released I believe along with their "I Am Who" album, it was their 2nd album in the trilogy which is telling a story of some kind. The 1st album is "I Am Not", the 2nd is "I Am Who" and the 3rd is "I Am You". Their whole discography is part of their lore, but "I Am Not" is basically where it all begins. (After Hellevator, that is) If you wanted to watch the story line in order I'd start with Hellevator and work your way up from there. Don't miss out on the teasers for the tittle tracks because some of them are also key points to the story as well. I think after Hellevator, you should be okay to check out the teasers for their debut song District 9, then you watch District 9 and well idk if you have to watch the videos for their b sides as well. Mirror looks like it could be part of the story as well so I'd probably watch Mirror after District 9. Next title track after District 9 was My Pace so you should watch the teasers for it as well, again, because the teasers are also part of the story. Then you watch My Pace, Voices, Side Effects (I think Side Effects had teasers linking to the story as well). Then you watch the teasers for I am you, then the I am You music video, and so on so forth. Basically If you look up their albums in the way they were released just follow the order the songs were released and don't forget to watch all of the linked teasers to those title tracks. oh....there's Miroh as well...I forgot where exactly it goes in xD but I think it's after Side Effects or after I Am You...xD Yes even I'm a Stay since before debut but I'm still confused about the order. xD I used to know it, before they released so many songs. xD
I am also a baby stay. At the beginning of the year, I heard Megaverse and I fell inside the Stray Kidz black hole hahaaha. Now I am obsessed with them 😂. I am loving these reactions!
So much respect for you. It's the fact that you've put in the effort to learn their names. You truly went above and beyond to react and point out things and I can tell that you appreciate specific members' different abilities. You've got yourself a new subscriber. 😊
Thanks for your reaction! There are some songs like Neverending story, scars (first take), slump (first take), cover me. They don't have MV (except scars), but there are really good ones.
Lee Know was a professional dancer before he became a K-pop idol. Stray Kids have a Storyline you can watch SKZVERSE Ep. 1 The first. Narrator explained Universe. Felix at times controls the Parallel Universe. To best understand the storyline that runs through Stray Kids music videos the recommended order to watch them is. 1. "District 9" 2. "G-STOP" 3. "Side Effects" 4. "Miroh" 5. "Chronosaurus" 6. "Maze of memories" Stray Kids give clues throughout or toward end of their Music Videos at times for STAYS. Thunderous One, Felix is. The Thunderous one have 4 different hairstyles. Thunderous one control Thunder. Book in Hyunjin hand with open page, Felix the Thunderous one on open page. There's actually Thunderous Merch with Felix on Merch as the Thunderous One. Thunderous One clothing, T-shirts, hats, mugs, books, photos of Felix as the Thunderous One, stuff animals, shoes and more. Megaverse, clue toward end of video. Tablo himself wrote clue (Tablo) Tablo is best known as the Leader and Producer of "EpiK High" Korean Hip-Hop group. Assuming the hint is Stray Kids and Tablo will collaborate in the near future. God’s Menu, Clue left toward end of video above doorway lit in red for next video to watch after watching God's Menu. LALALALA, Clues throughout Video, Chinese characters disappeared one by one until one meaning is left. Ending children band. FREEZE, Clues left throughout video, with a twist toward end of video.
One of my favorite things about SKZ is their instrumentals! I feel they have some of the best and most unique instrumentals in the game. Honestly I would love for them to release strictly instrumentals because I love hearing all the things they use that are a bit harder to hear when you add in vocals. In regards to the videos, I think you should do whatever you find is best and easiest for you! I absolutely love your reactions and am looking forward to more! We are hoping there will be a collab with Tablo but he is a rapper from a popular k-hiphop group Epik High. At the end, there is a whole lore and I have been a STAY for 1 and 1/2 and I still do not understand it lol and people call it weird at the time because there hasn't(I still think there hasn't but could be wrong) been a song like that in kpop. They received a ton of hate for their sound, especially when they first started out and they still get a lot of hate for their sound now but I think a lot of people did not think they would take off like they did.
I love how thoughtful and genuine your reactions are, I feel like I'm hanging out with a friend when I watch your videos. You're a breath of fresh air in a medium saturated with overly hyper, saccharine channels. I hope you never lose that. Edited to add: you made me fall in love with Stray Kids' music all over again (and I'm already a huge fan lol).
Love your reactions! I love people reacting to music videos the most. Second is dance practices, dance relays, and the behind the scenes of the making of the music videos! You'll really get to know their personalities from these!!! Have fun! And super impressed you learned their names so fast!
Yes, definitely check out there live performance of Side Effects. Actually once Double Knot and Side Effects music videos have both been seen a Live performance at V Heartbeat 2019 that includes both songs. It also starts with a rap performance of 3rd Eye done by Changbin and Han. Double Knot is a must see video. It was filmed in LA and everything from the song, to the choreo and video editing is top notch. It's one of SKZ's hard hitting songs. I don't know if that live performance can be reacted to in a RU-vid video but it's worth the watch even if you can't post it. Also they have slower and chilled songs, but most people get introduced to SKZ by there Lead tracks which tend to be rap and dance heavy. Lavanter is a great lead track that was a softer sound.
I’m pretty sure that Tablo was the second security guard who came in at the end (in megaverse). He’s a rapper, industry veteran, not sure if this was a hint for a collab or just a cameo
I love watching your journey into the Skzverse😂😂. As for what to watch, I think it’s a good idea to react to each album in turn. It’ll really give you the full impact of each era of their music! However you decide to do it, we will watch and enjoy it with you 😊😊😊
38:51 I get what you mean! Growing up, I never really listened to music and last year when I started to explore more than just what my parents played while growing up, I’d get bored a lot with popular songs. But I have never once been bored with Stray Kids, even with over six months of listening to them almost daily. Their discography is so diverse and their songs pack so many interesting things into it that my attention is caught. I always was more interested in softer, vocal songs, if I did listen to music, but Stray Kids got me interested in rap, in new genres like hip hop and edm, and into more powerful, hype songs while also letting me indulge in fantastic vocals. I love Stray Kids and I’m glad that you get to enjoy their music too
We appreciate the effort and attention to detail you put into your reactions! Learning the names of the members seems like a small thing, but it's not. Thanks for seeing our Kids as individuals with unique talents! I always look forward to you reactions.
If you want a change of pace with less known skz music videos : Red Lights (ok, this one is kind of known 😊), Slump (they have a The First Take video), Party's Not Over, DLC (those songs makes me smile), FNF, Streetlight (this song by Changbin is so good that it hurts). Like many others said, I love how your reaction is genuine and the fact that you learned their names and faces so fast. StrayKids have a special place in many stay's heart.
By far, you’re the only youtuber who reacted to stray kids that pay attention to all member’s specialties. I knew the moment you mentioned hyunjin’s expression when he’s dancing (which is true and he’s really good at dancing)
I recommend you check out 1.) Hall of fame( Has no M/V/ recommend lyric video) 2.) Charmer (Has no M/V also recommended you watch a lyric video) 3.) Superbowl ( original version which is im English, then you could react to the japnese version which has an M/V) 4. Double knot ( Has an M/V) 5.) Topline ( Also has an M/V)
I'm thoroughly enjoying your reactions to SKZ! "Side Effects" is my ult song. None of them really are a miss for me, though some it'll depend on the type of mood I'm in. You had asked in one of your reactions how we want you to react/what to react to next and honestly, I'd say just keep doing what you want to do. You seem to be enjoying yourself and we're def enjoying the reactions.
I really love how you appreciate the music, dance, production, and the videos all at once. You have a lot of great thoughts about their music and seem to really appreciate their talent. I suggest checking out their dance practices for the songs you have already heard. They are all really good dancers and with the practices you can see that. Lee Know is their dance leader and before joining JYP he was a backup dancer for BTS. He was in some of their music videos and went on tour with them. Also I don't know if it has ever been mentioned but whenever Changbin starts a song STAYs call it a Bintro (his nickname is Binnie). His Bintros are iconic!
When he wrote Tablo in on the crossword, the numbers he is filling in are 7, 19, and 24, which was a spoiler for the release date of their next album which dropped on July 19th of this year. 😊
Maniac is in my top 3 ❤❤ I also love Voices, these two really really speak to me as someone with social anxiety, autism, and depression. They remind me to just be myself and step out of those bad thoughts ❤
Side Effects is amazing, it is about being a teenager and feeling mad at the world and all the changes they are going through and why can't people understand them. Works so well! Tortoise and the Hare is another very experimental song, you either hate or love. I highly recommend Double Knot the english version. It had an amazing dance video. But both the Korean and English are great. I would do both together. Domino is also phenomenal and has an English version that is amazing as well. ❤ Great reaction!
This is the song that got me into Stray Kids. I stumbled across the MTV Performance of Maniac. Honestly, their music videos are SO cool and, as you said, their transitions and production is awesome. . . .but my FAVORITE is watching their dance practice videos. They work SO hard - and the choreo is AMAZING. If you ever want to check some cool live footage, I thought their performance at LaLaPalooza in Chicago was super fun.
Youre def. a man who picks up on things most people dont because you dont Just focus on visuals and voice but actually what they can do with it, hence why you recognized Han as someone who is really witty and cool. I would advise to look into some of the live performances they did. Award shows, concert shows and maybe even some stray kids guides to help you know every member separetely. it will help you in knowing SKZ better. And if you actually want to unwind from music you can also watch them be goofy and themselves on behind the scenes videos like SKZ-talker or SKZ-code. There is also 3racha vlives which are for me one of the funniest things. Especially the one with the colourfull pants. It depends what you want to do but it be cool to do something else besides the music videos❤❤
I've seen so many reactors (kpop fans and not) react to skz, and none of them have picked up the members names so quickly- both by sound and appearance? Also noticing mannerisms and techniques they do with their voices- pretty impressive! You are really observant!
React however you like, but I always suggest starting at the beginning and going through the discography. You will find some hidden gems that normally don't get recommended. Also, you really get a deeper respect for how far they have come.
Just want drop a comment to praise you cause i just notice that i think you are really good at remember n recognizing members or just people in general and what they do cause its not just for straykids i saw it in your other video as well,, you did such a great job for it and i like how calm, honest, respectful, and enjoyable to watch. Full support here👏👏👏☺️
I love your reactions; your attention and focus is gratifying to see and so your honest commentary is easy to receive! Side Effects reached out and grabbed me so hard the first time I heard it... I just love it, and feel like it is underrated by so many casual listeners. Megaverse, a B-side, is such a powerful song - I think many groups would be thrilled to have it as their title track. As far as your plan of attack for ongoing reactions, all I can recommend is to do whatever feels most natural to you. If you want to get a feel for what the OG Stays grew up with, by all means do albums (w/accompanying m/vs) in order. Alternatively, I know I've enjoyed your random groupings. Of course you'll discover their excellent foundation, and then how they grew and developed throughout the years as you pay attention to dates of releases. So far, what I like best, is your wry smile and head shake at the "oop, there it is" part of each song. SKZ - even when we know how good they are, they still smack us with it at some point in every song.
This was when Stray Kids were a nine member group. Woojin left the group before they blew up into the amazing group we all love now. Woojin signed with another label as a solo artist.
Neverending story( live stage) , gone away, waiting for us , youtiful, leave, cover me, these are songs that showcase their vocals!!!!! I highly suggest reacting to these
In my opinion it would be best to watch M/V's and after listen to albums. The song has a bigger impact if theres a music video! Theres no lore to skz songs so it doesnt matter what order you listen in!
i love your reactions!! and how well you've learned their names and faces (that's really not a given with most who react to SKZ) and i appreciate that a lot. you should watch the side effects performance video whenever you got time, the choreography is really something else.
The storyline of the first arc: Hellevator (predebut) : prologue District 9 (Debut): beginning My pace I am you Miroh Side effects Double knot Levanter : the climax/answer/clarity These are the main key points of the first arc, second arc starts with God's menu. All their song in the first arc albums are part of the journey/story, starting from Mixtape and ending on Cle: Levanter. Honorary extras I would add: Mirror (after district 9) Voices (after my pace) Victory song (after miroh) I personally would like to follow your discovery journey in chronological order with music videos added as they come. But enjoy your reactions anyway so will keep following no matter how you choose to proceed 😊❤
honestly they have a lot of mvs so doing the albums sooner and just watching the mvs as you go would be awesome!! but also, highly recommend mountains and slash (no mv) it’s their ost for deadpool and wolverine
I also think you'll be shocked when you realize how well Han and Changbin can sing. And you need to check out 3racha in action during production. I definitely suggest listening to Han rap I Got It. It's 🥵
Ooo okay somehow there are still so many to check out! For mvs: Topline, miroh, case 143, double knot and levanter are all very different. There are so many good songs without mvs but the lyric videos are good anyway to focus on their writing. If you don’t mind watching those then charmer, hall of fame and item are definitely up there! Honestly react to anything skz you like and we’ll probably still watch
Chrck out their live performances from "kingdom" and award shows. I esp liked their maniac +venom mama 2022 performance. Side effects was the first pyrotechnic song in kpop. Yes there is lore/a storyline.
Thank you for the great reaction! I love your attention to detail in the music. One thing about Side Effects, is that they experimented with Psytrance. It hadn't been done before or since (to my knowledge). One of the many reasons I love Stray Kids is that they aren't afraid to try new sounds, different genres, etc. Anyway, keep up the good work, and I'll be here for your next video!
would you believe me if i say that MEGAVERSE it isn´t a main track but a Bside track?? ToT stray kids, they are so so amazing. the best to me, i haven´t comment much on your other videos but i just love your appreciation for STRAY KIDS i mean you really look at all the amazing ponts of every member, how they bring something special, unique and amazing to all the songs and the group in general, also your apreciation in the lyrics and the instrumentation, i can´t wait for more STRAY KIDS reactions, hope you have an amazing day ^-^
If you prefer slower more melody songs skz also have loads of these too. You foul try Red lights, taste, connected, drive, cover me, leave, hero soup. There’s are loads more
Loved the reaction!! I could feel the genuine desire for skz music through the screen and I also appreciate the way you learned their names so fast!! A quick fun fact, the person screaming in Side effects is I.N. 😊😊
I would love for you to react to their albums from older to most recent and when checking those watching the music videos of the songs that have them from that album and maybe react to the lyrics of the rest! Also, I'm enjoying your reactions a lot, I appreciate that you learned their names and I'll definetely subscribe so I don't miss the rest! And I recomend: LALALALA !!!! Back Door !!!! Miroh !!!! Boxer My pace And the Domino dance practice !!!
First of all: I would like to compliment you on how quickly you memorized their names and faces. It's Not easy because they are changing their Styles crazy fast. I would also Like to recommend Back door, Circus,, super bowl and topline. And Cheese, it's a Kind of a Bit wird but also a Lot of fun (sorry If you already did, didn' t Catch Up one all your Relations by now)
I think it would be good to react to their albums and match the mv of those song's albums. Another recommendation, if you want to react to a song that does not have a mv, search for x stray kids ot8, for example 3rd eye stray kids ot8. They used to be a 9 member group but one of them left the group in late 2019 and they re-recorded the songs with the remaining members so it would be cool to react to their song with the current line-up. this applies for the albums released in 2018 and 2019 which are: Mixtape, I am not, I am who, I am you, Cle 1: Miroh and Cle 2: Yellow Wood
