Stray Kids [INTRO "Clé : LEVANTER"] 

Minho: “i like sunshine so much.” Me too, minho. Me too.

Things we learn about the new song “Levanter” from this video: 1. It’s a sad song 2. The choreography was something they haven’t tried before. If Side Effect is fire, then this song is water. 3. The performance tells a story

i'll stay until the last step out.

8 is fate, like what Chan & Changbin said, letting go of something can lead to more achievements, what they've experienced wasn't in vain, it made them come this far. Been a STAY since their survival era, I'm sure they deserve the best.

International stays rn: Understands "Clè, Lavender, skz, genre" -relying on voice tone, pitch and eye movements *understands 0.1 of the whole video yet still cries*

chan felt really sorry for STAYs and he was afraid we would be disappointed because he couldn't keep them (as nine) hyunjin: we were charging forward really hard, we didn't look back so (when it happened) It felt like a sudden brake causing the remaining members to have a hard time. the nights went by and the levanter mv was also delayed. we received a lot of messages from stays saying they were worrying about us a lot... jeongin: my heart hurts, our STAYs were also hurting, but STAYs seemed more worried that the members would be more hurt.. seungmin: it's a track that really possess the desperation or wistful feeling/wish of eight members. to stray kids, it's sort of like a new wind passing by. it's a song that combines stray kids' musical color and a melody that stays can comfortably listen to hyunjin:... i believe that you guys will be able to feel our true feelings through this album changbin: it's so different than before.... a lot of things happened/changed. This time, instead of feeling anticipated like i used to be before every cb, I'm more like nervous... STAYs let's support our boys a little bit more extra especially in this comeback. And let's work hard to get them a 2nd win. ♡

this is painful to watch now- they were broken, they felt lost, they didn't know if fans would still support them, but they kept going for us. I'm so grateful to them for everything, I love these 8 precious boys so much

rewatching this after the latest SKZ LOG for this year's STAYweek... they were devastated, lost, broken, but still they kept going, and look where they (and we) are now. STAYs will always be here for you, if we're having the same dream, the same goal, share the same heart, there's nowhere we can't reach

*chan: no matter how cold the rain, through all of that, the people who hold my hand is stay*

the first phrase to hear in this video: my heart hurts. that says a lot. everything's just not the same because there's a void that can't be filled by just anybody :< woojin bub i hope you're doing well

"A lot has changed because of one thing." Shocks... whoah

8 is fate ♾️.

3 things: 1. Did I, an international STAY, watch all this and not understand 95% of it..absolutely 2. Me and Han waved at the same time and that made me happy 3. When Minho stared at the camera I automatically stared back *I cant wait for clé: levanter 🖤*

I-Stays: **nods** okay, yup. **has no clue what they're saying** Felix: Stray kids are back! I-Stays: yeah, WAIT! I understood that!

Today is Stays 5th birthday and Levanter is trending on Twitter. SKZ released a log of them taking a day off to relax between their hectic schedule between their biggest ever fanmeet and their impending historic headline set at Lollapolooza Paris. During it they rewatch old performances while having dinner, but there's an emotional and quite chilling moment as their usual chaos falls silent. They're watching Levanter. As someone who only knew SKZ from Gods Menu era, and only became Stay during Maxident, I only knew of what they went through during Levanter era in theory. Today was the first time I witnessed their reactions to it all, and truly came to appreciate just how hard it must have been for them. It broke my heart to see that hurt resurface for them, but i watched i reverence, because not only did they overcome it, they truly found their colours and became the Stray Kids we know and love today. In the past two months they broke the world record for album preorders (5.13million), smashed 4th gen billboard records, announced a collab with samsung/slbs, hyunjin became versace's first korean global ambassador after being personally simped upon by donatella herself, they became the first kpop group to headline Lollapolooza in Paris, and yesterday the 2.5million tickets for their upcoming Dome tour sold out in less than 5 minutes. If only Levanter SKZ could see how far they would go. This was just the beginning for them

Hi! I'm from 2024, Stray Kids in 2019 thanks for your hard work, thanks for never giving up and always trying, your smiles are everything. Wasn't that year hard? But look now you're doing well, you're growing up and doing great, you're succeeding with STAY. I'm proud🥺☺️🤗. I love you all, and let's keep fighting together for the future to come. 8 is fate❤️✨

bang chan: **gets excited explaining something** me: I WANNA UNDERSTAND YOU SO BAD IM SORRY

When there is no sub the word i understand is -skz -cle levanter -stay -stay you can stay -baksu (clap) minho

I think all Stays, old and new, should come and watch this after God's Menu. We need to remember Levanter era, even if it hurts. It came at a hard time, and wasn't as hype as God's Menu, but it deserves more love.

this album intro hits me specially hard...after wj left they felt so nervous and scared of what would come and how things would turn out. now look at them a few months later having their most successful comeback yet breaking records and being super excited and pumped about it. it's truly beautiful to see them like this and i'm so thankful that they got their confidence back. i really hope that they're happy rn cause everything they went through led them to here (back door)

CLÉ : LEVANTER 1) STOP 2) Double Knot 3) Levanter 4) Booster 5) Astronaut 6) Sunshine 7) You Can Stay 8) Mixtape#5

12:17 Minho : *stares at camera with a serious look "Yes this is the spoiler" I cant with him🤦‍♀

When they started talking about the song “you can stay” they looked so emotional, you can tell by they’re faces they were going through IT, lets stay and support our boys~

me: *doesn't understand what they're saying* also me: let's appreciate these visuals instead

International Stays: (don’t know any Korean) Also International Stays: *watches the whole thing anyways*

7:07 I'm crying when Changbin said " I think the vocalist will feel pressure..but they did it a lot better than I expected..I'm so proud of them" 😭😭

Chan: "The secret ingredient is nothing" Hyunjin in "God's menu": "Wonder what's our secret ingredient? We don't use such a thing." I CAN'T IM WHEEZING

Only understands two lines Felix: “Hello everyone Stray Kids are back” Chan: “ The secret ingredient is nothing..” Me: gets emotional...

BangChan: "Stay, you can STAY" Me: IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT I CAN DECIDE ON, SINCE I KNOW YOU I HAVE THE MORAL OBLIGATION TO STAY, AND I LOVE IT.

Chan is so well-spoken. They've come so far now. I'm so proud of them for not giving up and working so hard.

Lee Know talking proudly about how Han made Sunshine is so mood.

"HELLO EVERYONE STRAY KIDS ARE BACK"- LEE FELIX, 2019. OMYGHAD FELIX!!!!!

“My heart hurts. Because of one thing, many things have changed” “just like that one falling star, im afraid i’ll fall.” 🥺🥺🥺🥺

Here after the newest Stay BDay Video Log and seeing them look back at this period that they now see as their "start"🥹 The popular thing to say is "if only you could see where you are now"...or "if I had a time machine, I'd come back here and tell you everything is gonna be okay" But I would only come back and do what Stays did then - shower you with love and make it clear I'm Staying. Cause every heartache along the journey, like every win, was necessary to your growth. But if Stays are constant through it all you'll have the strength to keep going. So I guess I'm here to say this Stay is here for you, always. Thank you for being Straykids

Can't understand how some people can look at how hurt and scared they were here and still say they'll always be nine🤦 Levanter is the birth of new Stray Kids, a stronger group with 8 members, which themselves rewrote their past discography (no other groups do that when a member leaves). Accept it or leave.

2:13 han: a break is something that people really want to do but if the break is long it makes people feel like theyre falling behind compared to others and like theyre the only one who isnt moving forward so a break something that cant easily be done idk y but this makes me feel sad... han, if you ever see this stays want you to know that youre doing amazing and we love you with our everything

I only understand felix when he said “hello everyone stray kids is back”

Popping back here from the melancholy of Stay Week 2023. The sheer force of will these young men had at that time is stunning to see. I'm so proud of them.

I'm the new fan from God's menu. This video makes me feel emotional as I realized there was a very hard period for the boys. I think I will focus on Stray Kids 8 only. They are really talented, connected, and they care for STAY so much.

Love how they still mention Woojin even though he's no longer a member. Other groups tend to never speak of their past member's name or memories as if they didn't exist. They're moving on so I think we can now move on and focus on them 8.

"Stay, you can stay." Me : gets emotional...

i am so sorry i wasn't here at those times but i promise that i never gonna leave stray kids, with all my love to levanter as a song i really wish i could share this complicated emotions with skz. i am so grateful that they come to my life two years ago, become my happy safe place, so i am gonna be here standing next to you my dear stray kids and always supporting you!! i love you all deeply!!

this hits hard after watching this year's Stay anniversary skz log.. more love to my boys ❤

me: *doesn't understand anything that they're saying* also me: **gets emotional**

me: doesn’t understand korean also me: emotionally cries over how cool the video is another me: celebrating

The beginning of #straykids8 . Fly higher than before

Han: people like me can't take a break cause they feel empty I can relate to this on a whole new level

Them: *Speaks Korean with no English subtitles* International fans: Just smile and wave bois, smile and wave

Woojin left: Emotional Cle 3: Emotional I don't know

came here after i read that rumor- You guys are so strong. I promised i will *STAY* forever.

I hope International Stay can come back to this video since they've added the subtitles :( They confess a lot of things :( 1. They sincerely feel thankful and worried for us after Woojin's departure. 2. Changbin felt nervous rather than excited for this album made my heart cry. 3. Changbin also said he is worried for the vocal line :( 4. Han made Sunshine bcs he doesn't have enough rest that he deserves. Imagine being an introvert and cannot have alone time to recharge :( I feel so bad for him bcs I can relate how tough it is..no wonders he suffered anxiety in this era Stray Kids, don't worry! True Stay won't leave you guys behind! You truly make Stay stay!

why is no one talking about seungmin's beauty oml it's literally out of this world

i’m 30 seconds in and already being attacked by chan’s smile

컴백 기다리면서 쭉 인트로만 보는데.. 이게 제일 맘아픈 인트로.. 언제나 열심히 했고, 정말 다들 생각이 깊다는걸 다시 느끼게 되는거 같다.. 꼭 더 잘되길.. 너무 좋다 스키즈..

So in conclusion, "the secret ingredient is nothing", meaning there is no magical 'key' that will lead us to success. Rather, the experiences we go through along the journey are what shape us, and we should be confident in our own choices no matter the outcome.

vocal line said they feel a lot of pressure after woojin's departure but they also feel more responsibility as vocalists and it serves as a motivation for them to work harder 🤧🤧

THE LAST TIME I CLICKED THIS FAST JEONGIN STILL HAD HIS BRACES

이 영상은 마음이 아파서 못보겠어 거기에 바람도 ㅜㅜ 들으면 눈물이 나와서 애들이 이때 힘들어해서 특히 한이가 이때 불안장애와서 스키즈가 이때후로 많이 성숙해지고 어른미가 된거 같음

The way i cried when i watched this. Our boys have prepared twice as hard for that comeback. They were so nervous because they didnt know how Stay would react to the EP after what had happened. They were scared, tired, hurt and anxious. But still they thought about Stay's happiness. Thank You so much Stray Kids for all that you did. Your hard work is not in vain. You deserve all of the awards given to you and so much more. As a Stay i will work harder in promoting Stray Kids and giving you even more awards and hopefully that way we can give you the same amount of happiness that you give us. Stray Kids you make this STAY stay

Stray Kids: “Our 8 members” Me: *rivers of tears* But still tho I’m so excited I cant believe were getting a fan song omgggggg

no one: channie: the secret ingredient is.... NOTHING

작년 12월은..정말 짱이었어 모든 떡밥이 다 알찼던.. 매일매일 폭풍같은 떡밥대잔치였음.. 물론 지금도^^! 근데 난 작년 연말을 잊을수가없음..

jeongin looked so emotional when he said he was sorry for making stays having a hard time because of their struggles. it just breaks my heart

when jeongin and seungmin said “you can stay” i felt that

Watching the guys talk about how nervous and scared they are, and how they were afraid they would lose stay makes me cry so hard, but Look at what's happening today! They're breaking every record in KPOP history and have the most successful comeback ever! I'm so happy and proud to be on this journey with them

8 is Perfect!

3RACHA wrote 15 songs in a week-

Me: "I can't understand" Also me: *pretend to understand*

happy birthday, stay ❤

In that year you have worked hard and well, please get enough rest, don't force yourself, we are always here 🥺💗

THEY HAVE A SONG CALLED "YOU CAN STAY" 😭😭😭😭 STOP I'M CRYING MAN

i cried so much when they started talking about their hardships after what happened last month. the struggle and worries they had. im glad they can share their feelings of burden with us. stray kids, don't worry, we'll always STAY and always know that we're always proud of you guys and you're always doing well

얘들아 1년동안 수고많았어ㅠㅠ 솔직히 작년에 이 영상 봤을때 너무 불안정해 보여서 걱정이 컸는데 지금 일년을 돌아보면 정말 잘 달려왔지? 성장도 많이했구ㅠㅠㅠ 앞으로도 계속 더 행복하자 ♥♥

stray kids will always be 8

Minho: "I like Sunshine so much... blah blah (hundreds compliments)" Me: I'm not surprised leE KnOw it's the only song Jisung composed and wrote lyrics on his own (without the other 2rachas)

No one: Totally no one: International STAY : Am I a joke to you?

The lyrics of _Levanter_ is really sad and emotional. The message is something they've never done. The choreography is unique and meaningful. Minho said it's the most difficult one and he tried his best to make sure to put meaning and a storyline into each part of it. The Dance-Line are truly hard workers especially when it comes to choreographing the choreography for their own group. Can I just thank them so much for this? I hope they don't overwork themselves too much tho. It makes me worried. I know Stray Kids didn't specifically mention Woojin's name but while I was watching this, all I could of is Woojin. I'm so glad they were able to bring up about how they feel about the situation and express their feelings through this song. It's really meaningful and something we will forever cherish. The vocal-line may feel pressure now that the main vocalist isn't there, but I think this gives them the motivation to work harder and improve in their vocals. I just hope they're okay. Usually, their choreography is always FIRE but seeing now that _Levanter_ is going to be WATER, I can't wait to see them perform it. It's truly going to bring up some new color into Stray Kids who always had a bunch of powerful and strong choreographies. Can't wait to see what Stray Kids has prepared to show us. I love you, Stray Kids🥰😢❤️ Stay strong because Stray Kids and STAYs will always STAY together forever🤝 FIGHTING💪

We really need to share this video with every baby stay. Not only newbies but every Stay needs to come back here to remind themself how much the kids had struggled & done for us despite everything, and how much they need us beside them in the healthiest way possible. We should never forget that!

where is team “I Don’t Understand but I Love It” at?

i have a strong feeling that we're getting slow songs in this album and I'm living for it. although i kinda hoped woojin would participate in these tracks, i'm still excited for them :(

8 is fate, I'll always love and support Stray Kids ❤❤ let's be happy together for long time 💙

Being a stay for only two months, I can't relate to how hard it was for skz & older stays going through this time & how they feel now seeing their growth as a group, but I can say I'm beyond proud of all 8 of them for still going with their head help up high & never giving up. I can't imagine how they felt during this time & it breaks my heart seeing these videos ❤️‍🩹 I wish I could've stan them since the beginning

I'm not fluenf in korean, but everytime Minho goes "hANNiega"-

Why is it making me emotional i can't even understand them

Love you STRAY KIDS ❤ 8 is fate

Rewatching all StrayKids Intros .. and not realizing how fast the time changes.. from ot9 to ot8 .. these boys always works hard for us 🥺
