Stray Kids First-Take Analysis - Scars, Slump, Oh and Maniac, CASE 143 (Radio Live) | HONEST Review 

JOIN my Patreon for more exclusive content here INCLUDING Stray Kids' latest album where I fell for Lee-Know even more!! : patreon.com/koko3op

Thank you for appreciating Lee know, he’s so talented but he sometimes is underated especially by new stays. He’s my favourite vocalist in stray kids

I feel like Lee Know is an understated backbone in SKZ: he doesn’t get the same amount of attention for his dance skills even though he’s always been the one helping others improve and been highly skilled himself, being a vocalist who is coming into his own, being quiet big brother who cares for the members in subtle ways. He doesn’t seem to be an attention-seeker but worth paying attention to.

thank you for appreciating lee know’s vocals, that man has improved RIDICULOUSLY since debut and in the last 2 years he has finally been receiving a decent amount of lines also, in case you didn’t react to “taste” yet, consider doing it cause lee knows falsetto could literally teleport me to heaven

I love how you emphasized Lee Know's vocal technique, for being the member with the least time as a trainee and having started with 0 experience, I love to see what an incredible singer he is. He has good technique both with chest voice and head voice, also he has good breath control because he has been a dancer since before he was a trainee so he knows how to control the force with which he moves when singing and dancing. Lee Know has been one of the most underrated members regarding his vocals because he didn't used to have many lines either but it's great to see how many people are really surprised that they didn't pay attention to his voice since he is such a good singer.

Lee Know was once told during the survival show that his voice stood out because it was the weakest, he's being dishing out mic drop after mic drop on JYP ever since XD He made sure "the boss" ate his words. Thanks for actually appreciating his talent and his hard work, he's had the biggest evolution in the group (which is already hard because they are all so talented) but he's still terribly underrated

Stray kids being the very first kpop group to be in One Take and being able to be invited again is so amazing. Their live vocals is so good and and to do at it all perfectly in just 1 take is so amazing.

Fun fact: skz were the first korean artist to sing on the first take channel! They were the first ones to sing a song in korean (Mixtape: OH) as well! Love those performances a lot, so ty for checking them out

THANK YOU! Thank you for appreciating Lee know's vocals!! His voice is undoubtedly one of my favourites in skz and he's finally getting proper opportunity in the newer albums to showcase it

Lee Know's vocals have shined more and more every year since debut. I've stanned them since 2018 and it was in Levanter era that I really realised how incredible his falsetto is. He's an incredible vocalist and now my bias ❤️

Finally someone appreciating Lee know’s vocals the way he sing and his voice deserves to be one of the main vocalists

I would just like to say that I have NEVER slept on Lee Know's vocals. Man has a beautiful voice and I need him to have more lines and more scene time in skz songs especially in their title tracks because he is an ace. Thank you for the reaction and Lee Know appreciation.

Lee Know has such incredible vocal ability, able to be low and then hit amazing falsettos with ease. He's an underrated Ace no lie.

Thank you for appreciating Lee Know He is very talented

Slump one take changed me completely … I couldn’t get over the clarity of the voices. And Lee Know and Bang Chan especially ate.

It's been so satisfying hearing Minho's growth as a vocalist over the years. He started with hardly any vocal training, and was even encouraged to rap because his vocals weren't yet well-supported. In the beginning he didn't get many lines and the ones he did get weren't particularly challenging in terms of letting him grow as a vocalist (he also had rap parts in their first eras). Now, looking at his confidence that has bloomed exponentially in the last 2 years, it's amazing to see him develop and use his voice so freely and powerfully in their tracks.

Whenver someone talks about Leenow vocals it makes me feel prouder and happiest. He worked so hard to be here

Lee Know's vocals are amazing, I love his voice tone so much, thank you for noticing!

I love how Lee know and seungmins do it so naturally without any tension. True vocalist indeed ❤ aside from that I think in skz all are all rounders cause there’s nothing they can’t do✨ BHT ALSO YOUR EXPLANATION WAS LITERALLY THE BEST VOCAL explanation I have ever seen you pointed out everything hats offf❤❤✨

Han is my ult. he can just do anything that’s thrown at him. Lee Know is so underrated as a singer, such a beautiful voice. My bias changes every day with these boys. They’re all extremely talented singers & dancers who compliment each other’s voices. I’ve really appreciated and enjoyed your analysis, thank you

If you want Seungmin’s top line ad libs, their live performance if secret secret is great for that. He kills it, always. And as always, people need to quit sleeping on Minho. He’s improved so much, it’s insane. 😊

I’m so glad someone is appreciating Lee Know’s vocals and not just dancing. He’s so good and needs more opportunities to shine

It's really great to see someone appreciate Lee know's vocals. He definitely deserves more lines and appreciation. Hopefully his talent will be appreciated more

Changbin's breath control is just amazing!! He's so good ✨❤️❤️

Lee Know's vocal are very underrated

Thank you Thank you LEE KNOW deserves sooo much praise!! He is amazing!!

''Leelnow has phenominal voice '' man can give equal opportunity and focus on his vocals he can be in main vocalist position

Lee know is literally one of my favourite vocalists... His vocals are in insane. Ohhh and Han.

Yes lee know vocal appreciation. I actually stanned skz because i was curious of lee know's vocals and fell inlove with his personality. He has such an angelic falsetto and vocals.

My heart grows when somebody praises Lee Knows vocals but i also love I.Ns colour

To appreciate Lee know's voice even more you might want to react to his new, first ever solo song called "Limbo" when I tell you it is INSANE

One thing I really love about SKZ vocals is you can hear the progression over the years. Lee Know had only been a trainee for like 6-8 weeks when their survival show happened. He'd been a dancer so I think he was still pretty new to singing, and he was switched to rap during the survival show because JYP felt his vocals weren't stable enough. Since then it feels like Lee Know has worked really hard on all of his skills. You can actually hear it in their SKZ talker bts footage when they're warming up Han and Lee Know tend to sing random songs a lot and Lee Know's started to have that same classical vibrato sound Han has when playing around. His voice has gotten so much bigger and stronger I feel like he really came into his own during Maxident especially. Seungmin and I.N are interesting. They're both the lead vocal line but the original 9th member was SKZ main vocalist so Seungmin especially suddenly took on a lot more vocal responsibility a year after debut when the 9th member left (as did Han for the higher ranges). Seungmin actually went outside the company and found his own vocal coach because he wanted to get stronger, and now I.N goes to the same coach. They sit in on each others' lessons to learn from one another. Both have spoken about kind of having to relearn their techniques and I feel like their voices have both grown over the past year especially. Seungmin also seems to get a bit nervous on live shows sometimes, but when he relaxes and gets into it his tone really shines. His performance of Love Poem on Kingdom is one of my all time favourites. Seungmin has a voice that can just make me sit down and listen in silence when I hear it. But honestly, Lee Know has been up there as my favourite voice since I heard Levanter and I'm so glad he's getting more recognition. He has such a nice tone that I feel mixes well with the rest of the group to give that deeper texture to their whole sound. Taste was a great song for that too.

I love that you keep gushing about Lee Know's vocal because when I do, people say I'm biased. Well.. I am, but HE IS A GOOD VOCALIST!! I love his voice so much. I recognised his voice even before I managed to remember all SKZ's members name (including his) and that's saying something. The fact that back then he was told that he wasn't a strong enough vocal and should just stick to rapping.. He trained well. :") Also, I feel like as their producedr, Chan recognised Lee Know's good technique in producing head voice because he's one of the members who's consistently given that type of parts in their songs.

I really appreciate more reactions from Stray Kids. They are mostly known for their loud music so thank you for taking time to listen to their more slower songs. I recommend some songs that they sang individually so you can fully listen to their vocals. I also included more slower songs. Memory of Your Scent - I.N Hate to Admit - Bang Chan Silent Cry - Stray Kids Waiting For Us - Bang Chan, Seungmin, Lee Know and I.N Another Day - Stray Kids

I love that you can also appreciate Lee Know’s vocals it’s so underplayed. But he has the quality to his voice that it’s just phenomenal He sometimes sings with so much emotion you feel it. Please react to waiting for us . I promise it won’t disappoint

I live for Lee know’s vocals

I love Lee Know’s beautiful voice. I hope he will get more line in the future

I sense a lee know bias... welcome to the club.

Lee Know once again proved that he improved so much in his solo song in SKZ Replay album

Each one has its own particularity and together it's even better. Lee know's vocals are wonderful and powerful, thanks for the reaction. I nominate Seungmin and Han at LeeMujin, it shows each one's vocals and some details as well and maxident's units.

YES SOME LEEKNOW LOVE! Our falsetto king! My 3rd favorite voice out of all of skz!! I love his voice so much! Its sooo pretty🥰 You should react to their other one Lost Me if you haven't yet!

I'm glad to hear how Lee Know good Thanks u First time to hear appriciate for Lee Know singing

Thanks for taking the time to check out more of Stray Kids' performances! I suggest listening to these SKZ songs also to hear more of their vocals: Secret Secret, Taste (Only DanceRacha), Waiting for Us (Bang Chan, Lee Know, Seungmin and IN).

I came for skz. Am staying for the sheer amount of lee know stanning ❤

I love when they enjoy the voice of lee know 🥺

fun fact: lee know these days recently taking the vocal lessons with seungmin abd i.n by their vocal-teacher😊i guess something crazy will waiting us in the next comeback😅

love the lee know appreciation! I really had fun watching along :D skz never miss with their performances

Idk if u gonna see this but thank you for appreciating Lee know sometimes I feel like reactors sleep on him so much it hurts his voice is so perfect I mean each stray kids member have an impactful voice but his falsetto is really something so thanks for that lolll

i'm new here and i just want to say i love your reaction style! great commentary and no fluff. and thank you for giving so much appreciation to lee know. most people have said so already, but as a lee knower sometimes i feel a little biased so it's nice to see his vocals appreciated by someone who knows their stuff. i also love your point that they don't have a lot of harmonies...i would love to see them do this more too. great reaction, thanks!

Stray kids just released another album and Lee Know has a solo song called Limbo where he SINGS

YES FINNALY! SOMEBODY NOTICES LEEKNOW HE IS SO TALENTED

Im so happy Lee Know is getting so kuch appreciation and more and more people making videos talking about him, about his control. I've been ult'ing him and it's very evident that his expertise is his CONTROL on everything. He keeps improving too. I think of him as main vocalist if he's in a group with concepts/genres like New Jeans (male ver, sorry i cant think of male groups the same concept/genre with New Jeans).

That's what I'm saying, Lee Knows vocals has so much potential but the group isn't utilizing it very well, I'm so excited for his upcoming solo song Limbo

You should react to seungmin covering love poem on kingdom

i love lee know vocal's 💕

Some suggestions of them (well, some of them) singing live: - Chan and Seungmin singing day6's Zombie (it's the live one with Chan, to not confuse with the studio cover with Han) - Chan, Seungmin and I.N covering day6's I'll Try on Weekly Idol (I think you'll love this one) - Seungmin's Lee Mujin service - Han's Lee Mujin service

Is that what Bang Chan's doing while singing? The JYP method? Because I'm obsessed with whatever it is 😂 Idk I think it's both the technique and his voice being naturally raspy/husky but he's my favorite vocalist in the group. He knows his voice very well too and it shows.

tysm for your reactions! you’d def seen more lee know singing in waiting for us - and SOOO interesting what would come of leeknow if he had the chance to focus on singing instead of dance… the weight the talented must carry 😅

Lee Know 😍 He's sooooo talented!!!

Since you really liked Lee Know's voice in this, I highly suggest his newly released song from SKZ Replay. It's called "Limbo" and you really get the chance to see him shine! 😊

For slump I do agree that some harmonies would sound really nice but I think that the lone voice kind of fits with the meaning behind the song of feeling alone and left behind. I really appreciate your expertise on all of this and I found a lot of your comments really insightful!

thank you so much for appreciating Lee Knows vocals :')

I got lee know appreciation NOW MY LIFE IS COMPLETE THANK YOU!

It is so interesting to watch reactions by different vocal specialists. I saw one singing teacher who remarked specifically that he thought IN's voice was by far the best, he didn't like Lee Know's voice at all, saying it was too airy. (I resonated more with your analysis on that issue). By the way, have you listened to Stray Kids/Danceracha's Taste? Lee Know's vocals on that are amazing, Hyunjin and Felix are wonderful as well but Lee Know just takes the show on that.

Honestly in the early days I didn’t immediately like the some of the songs but I liked Lee know’s voice so I wld listen to the songs for his pet and then the songs grew on me. But I love love love Lee Know’s voice

thank you so much for the lee know appreciation 😭💖

Thank you for the one takes ❤❤❤ love this format ❤ though the white background and white English translation always makes me grit my teeth hahah luckily I’ve learnt to mostly just be grateful if subtitles are ever included haha

Pls react to Taste by Skz (Minho, Felix and Hyunjin) bc Minho REALLLY surprised me with his vocals in this song 😭 I also really love Hans singing voice. I want him to belt more😢

Yes! People SLEEP on Lee Know. His voice is 🤌

Thanks for your reaction. If you’d like to hear more of their voices you might like to listen to Secret Secret and Never Ending Story (the cameraman was confused and didn’t realise it was Changbin singing).

Actually Lee Know is my favorite vocalist in SKZ together with Seungmin. I know Lee Know's vocals can do so much more.

I think you would enjoy reacting to the Lee Mujin Service episodes with Seungmin, and with Han. Lee Mujin is a singer who has his own show where he invites kpop vocalists to sing and talk about music with him. It is interesting to see how different Seungmin's episode was from Han's--the same format, but such a different feel. Their vocal styles and personalities are so different. I really liked Seungmin's duet with Lee Mujin a lot. Because it is a show focused on vocals, the camera is very much also focused on the singers faces. We also got to watch Han rapping freestyle to a jazz improv style piano accompaniment, which was fun--he commented in the freestyle on how rapping to the live piano the beat kept changing.

lee know's vocals have so much color and texture, he's worked so hard to achieve such a well developed voice. lee know fighting!!

Oh about seungmin. That wasn’t his tongue, he just brought his lips out to close his mouth. Transitioning from singing without braces to singing with is so hard😭😭

Thank you! Lee know has amazing vocals..I am so glad that his vocals got appreciated..I suggest you check out Taste next.

One of the best reactions I ever saw. Big thank you for your appreciation to straykids especially Lee Know. He is so down to earth and does not brag but his talent shines.

I love your commentary so much!! Please do Stray Kids Neverending Story live. It's a ballad so you really get to hear their vocals

If ur looking for some vocal performance by skz that has more of them harmonizing or blending together I recommend watching their secret secret performance 💕💕💕

5:10 i was just thinking that then you blurted out my thoughts precisely!!! let the boys wear matching foundation pleeeaaase! also i’m not done watching the video yet, but judging by the comments there’s lots of lee know appreciation which i am extremely looking forward to. i hate seeing him overlooked when his vocals are amazing,, anyways thanks for the video! edit: if you wanna hear hyunjin sing listen to secret secret!!!!! i’m unsure if you’ve listened to it before but his voice is so … i’m not sure how to explain but thick? when he sings, it’s very nice

I love lee know bro

Lee know has amazing vocal ✨

I`m so happy I found this video and your channel, thank you so much for the reaction and for appreciating the kids` voices!! Looking forward to more stray kids videos on the channel, I`d recommend you reacting to voices, phobia, 3rd eye and secret secret.

When l see someone appreciating Lee know like he's deserves, l have tears in my eyes everytime 😢 that man is a talent and people are blind to not see it 🫂♥️

Yes..... leeknow appreciation 😁😁

I would also like to suggest their Secret Secret performance. It has a bit of a backing track but their voices can still be heard better. There are moments when two members sing together, like Lee Know and Felix, so there's some sort of vocal layering (if that's what you call it) :) Their Neverending Story performance is also a must watch, imo

Lee know is my favourite vocalist

Oh my gosh 😭 the thumbnail

aa so happy about your reaction. I see your vid on my YT page and I immediately put down all things I do to watch this

LEE KNOW el amor de mi vida pero que talento se maneja

I like how most of the comments are about Lee Know ❤

You should react to Limbo by Lee Know I'm sure you'll love it and you can get to hear more of his vocalist side

You should have him watch their live stage cover of "Call Me Baby" by EXO at their Love Stay Fan Meeting. Seriously, they can take on songs by vocalists heavy groups, LIVE, and kill it. People really don't give their singing abilities any credit because they are a Hip-Hop heavy, Rap dominant group.

for seungmin runs/vocals, i recommend their Secret Secret video!

i recently fell into the stray kids hole and now I'm in the phase of checking all these reaction videos lmao. i just keep getting more and more faves

Just want to credit you for being one of the best vocal analysts on RU-vid! I'm a bit of a vocal critic myself, and I've learned so much from you just from this video. You point out many things I hadn't considered before that gave me an even deeper appreciation for vocals. I just discovered Stray Kids recently and their vocals and song arrangements have floored me. I don't ever call myself a "fan" because it stems from the word "fanatic" and it's unhealthy to obsess... but Stray Kids are getting me dangerously close!

I really love your approach to this! I've been looking for something like this for a while with like commentary on each of their singing, but everything I come across has little to no technical thought put into it at all, just talking about the quality of their voices. As someone who studies voice though I really appreciated hearing another person's thoughts on this technical stuff that I've been thinking for a while to have it confirmed lol. I've literally been noticing IN's forward jaw movement thing for a while now and its cool to see another person be just as nerdy and point it out!! --also I know a lot of people who are working on that same thing because they developed the habit from singing in masks and pushing fabric away. Also, I feel like the thing mentioned at one point about Seungmin really reaching for notes, (this is in Oh) I was thinking it could maybe be something to do with struggling to coordinate a good onset in higher range (and I noticed Chan do it earlier too). Like he was trying to keep it gentle in the higher register, but that resulted maybe in some compensation with trying to use those surrounding muscles to control the cords or airflow or something like that? anyways this is an essay at this point but I just had the need to nerd out and be excited to finally see someone talking about in a more neutral sense the actual technique that goes in there, not just their vocal qualities. and last sidenote, I think this is all especially really cool because I know these guys are still taking voice lessons at least occasionally and it seems they're really committed to personal growth, so maybe we'll notice technical things like this disappearing in the future for them which would be really cool!

They released a new album today with 8 solo songs (one for each) you should definitely check out Leeknows it’s together with Felix song my favourite song. It’s so beautiful and his voice is phenomenal

i love the way you talk about them

Is true lee know is so big talent, in dance and vocal vocal

this is literally me when i say i'm done but end up watchin one more video😂 i loved the reaction
