Stray Kids Recording 5-STAR | Communication Coach Reacts! 

I appreciate all of your Stray Kids requests! I see you all :)

Bang Chan no matter if he's talking or singing, no matter where he is in his vocal range, his voice always sounds and feels like a big warm hug on a snowy day

It’s fun to see how familiar you’ve become with Stray Kids. I remember you were a bit confused by Lee Know, like a lot of us were at first, but now you get it. He has a such a playful, lovable personality. And as a Han bias I will never complain about the Han rants! He’s so talented and always makes me smile.

i looooove when they post the process behind their songs bc we get to see how certain dynamics changes, how they can be serious and playful at the same time especially 3racha!!! theyre such silly but talented dudes its crazy 😭 also love to see you loving changbin and han as usual

Max looking cool all professional, and then his bias appears and he goes "MY BOY HAAAN" so adorable hahaha

Bang Chan's job is not easy man, he has a crazy bunch around him! I think he crafted his managing skills over the years as he got to know them better and they established trust. He is super impressive! Also, who doesn't have a soft spot for Lee Know? He is a doll!

Chan told in a chan’s room once that he has to keep his eyes closed when recording with changbin and han or els he will just laugh. 😆

It's not featured here but I particularly enjoyed the part where Lee Know is adorably whining about all the English he has to sing and Bang Chan helps him with the pronunciation of "truly"

I love watching these videos bc we get to see how they think and work together to create their music. I love how 3racha, especially chan, direct in a way that makes the members feel comfortable and motivated to keep trying. They don’t tear them down but rather give specific and critical feedback. They have so much fun with it too and I love that about them. They genuinely enjoy making their own music and sound which is what makes it so special ❤

the way he says "That's my boy, Han" in such a caring tone is so real, man. Same here. Same

I feel like a HUGE like high intelligence is not only knowing how to teach/direct from 3racha and especially chan as a leader...but to know how to effectively deliver those instructions to different individuals you have a unique bond with for example how they can give feedback and constructively criticize a member they have a more serious and emotional friendship with versus members that have more playful dynamic!? I pick up on how bang chan is always talking in a more casual way and mixes in more English with felix versus a very helpful and positive tone with jeongin vs hype man when it's lee know. They know each others insecurities and strengths and they use that it's so big brain and emotionally intelligent to me

I think you are right about soft spot Chan has for Lee Know. We love to mention his "because I'm his only hyung" so I think he feels like he needs to pay attention to him, also I think sometimes Lee Know does a good job of reminding Chan to let go, makes him laugh in a serious moment, doing random stuff. I think Chan can sees that.

@8:56 this little part was so telling bc i think lee know is a lot more shy than he lets on and this is how they encourage him and get him to loosen up a bit haha

Bang Chan is a maximalist in everything, especially when it comes to music. Lee Know said that he enjoyed recording Changbin's songs the most, especially the song Surfin@g. In the past, Felix always recorded songs with Changbin too.

i’m always here for skz reactions!!

My heart is always filled with warmth when I see how much joy Han brings to you. I don't often see people filming reactions or anything like that loving him as a bias. We all have a special place in our hearts for him, that's without debate, but his personality traits or small details like that are rarely picked up on and noticed. I am always happy when you pay attention to him because he is a very interesting person. And yes, something is going on with him lately, but we don't know anything. We only know that something is obviously bothering him, because his behaviour has changed too much, far from being partial. Whatever is going on with him now, I really hope that soon we will see his wide smile, frequent laughter and light chaos again. And videos like this, where he sparks all over, are like a band-aid on a wound. Thank you for this reaction!

Changbin said he always gives compliments to his members first and then suggests where to change in order to get the level he wants Also for Changbin's part with Han's guiding, Changbin complained but tried to follow Han's way as much as possible and Han also let Changbin do in his way so that Changbin can rap more comfortably and they can meet in the middle so that both of them can satisfy the results Often want to hear their guiding versions as well because it already sounds great, though I love the ways that 3rachas respect each other's opinions and suggestions but still let the person in charge for a given part be in charge for it and trust that person. It will be important 3 of them make the music together and they know how to work well with each other, giving one his own space yet never forgetting they are working together as a team. And to see how much other members are trusting and respecting 3racha is so beautiful. Once Chan said when 3racha make a song they let it heard by other members before comleting it and other members freely give their opinions such as suggesting different beats or asking them to put some pauses in a specific part in performers' aspects. Love the way they work as SKZ team and love the results every member can shine because 3racha really understand each member's fortes and potentials and know how to smartly put them in their songs Han seems calm and a bit down but he is still a great performer in the stages, and in SKZ log Han got a stomachache but when his turns to sing came he still sang beautifully. Often underrated but this lovely guy's great responsibilities and professionalism always amaze me. Hope he is just happy and feel comfortable. Recently Seungmin dropped a song Han composed for Seungmin, and the song is really like Han and at the same time really like Seungmin. So good to see them understand each other so well. Cheerful yet professional, love the way SKZ work. Thank you a lot and really enjoy your aspects and insights as always and glad to see another SKZ contents by YOU Have another happy day 💖🎁💝

I love that you're getting to see them work. 3Racha (Bang Chan, Changbin and Han) have been doing this from before the group even debuted, and they guide the recording sessions in a very positive and encouraging manner. As a result, all of the Stray Kids have a very comfortable working relationship with each other. I find these videos fascinating. Bang Chan usually handles the recording/production for the vocals, and Changbin and Han usually handle the recording/production for the rap sections. I have read that a few of the other members have become interested in producing, too, but have not seen them in any of the videos yet.

-behind the scenes recording sessions are my favorite. 3racha are very serious about the music they make. I like that they know you can give Seungmin the same advice they give Felix or Lee know in the studio. They’ve worked out who needs what when recording

Watching you react to their videos is always like a reminder why tf I love them so much. It's like you're verbalizing what I'm feeling

I always love your analyses, but as a Han bias myself, I love your Han rants! Witnessing this recording process definitely increases my already-high respect for all the members. Your summation of their artistry, professionalism, and friendship is so nice to share. Thank you 🙏🙏

Thank You so much Max for your videos, I enjoy a lot how You approach the content, also You make me feel calm and confortable as Chan with his kids. Really, I appreciate Your videos a lot. Lots of love

I'm glad how you talked about the stigma most people have not thinking of how idols work hard to produce these pieces of art.

Could you please react to 5 star intro part 2? Since you have seen them in the recording room which is 3racha's territory mostly, it will be interesting for you to see the dance practice room where danceracha (especially Lee know) takes charge

That’s not a stigma, it is well known that skz are really the only ones doing the brunt of the work, more than any other group really. The rest are, or were more-so puppets. They are special😊❤❤❤❤❤

Please I hope you’ll do Hyunjin and Lee Know from Stray Kids 2 kids room, their friendship evolved a lot.

Another thing about this is that we can tell the difference in which each member work. For 3racha Chan is very direct and objective, Changbin is the same but he seems a little more playfull in the progress, and Han gives also feedback, but he is a little more chill in the way he does it, like- when changbin couldnt hit the high note and he just told him to do it in a confortable/cool way for him, or the way he says "i think it'll be better if you do it this way", he seems less direct than chan and changbin, but still get his point across. Then we have the different ways in which all the kidz take feedback, I think Feliz and I.N like more when someone tells them how to do it, while Seungmin likes to give feedback for himself aswell, and stuff like that. its so fun watching them do this 😭, i wish theyll do it for more songs cause idk i love this videos. Anyways thx for reacting!!

Always a good day when Max drops a new vid!

SKZ is one of the exceptions in the kpop industry for self-production. You can always check the credits of K-pop songs to see which group is involved in the production process.

Max: this is so fucking cool by the way all of STAY: YUP Max: how do you create a song from nothing, it's very impressive all of STAY: YUP Max: *talks about how incredible all of Stray Kids are for 21 minutes) all of STAY: *nodding so hard it hurts* YYYYUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

I love listening to your insight. As someone from (I'm assuming) the same generation as me, it gives me pride to see someone respecting these young men for their talent and as individuals. I also appreciate that you recognize how much they genuinely care for each other without turning their affection for one other into something sexual that many younger generations do. Unfortunately, here in North America, we aren't used to seeing men show physical affection . This was something that caught my attention when I was first introduced to K-Pop a few years ago and it literally brought me to tears. Watching Stray Kids is like watching a close knit family.

Loving the han's appreciation ❤️

All of 3racha have different directing styles and they adapt their styles to accommodate the member they're directing at the time. In these bts of their recording process you often see Chan and Changbin fawning over their maknae (youngest) Hannie, and he usually does really well on his first try in the booth. Then with Changbin and Channie, if they're directing each other, it's more laid back. They tend to direct themselves and do things over and over until they're satisfied with themselves and the other just waits until the one recording is satisfied as well. It's such a joy to watch them while recording, makes me grateful to be a Stay.

I really want you to watch their pre-debut survival show + their old music videos that were completely self-recorded by the members. It really builds an even deeper appreciation for the group!

You in the beginning of skz reactions: “this one is interesting. I need more time to understand that. Okay okay” Now: I appreciate them all but ✨han✨jisung✨ Feel you, see you :)

I could listen to you analyse Stray Kids for hours on end. You have a really calming voice and great opinions about the members, and their dynamic.

❤Thank you, Max. I love how you analyze, and really highlight the personalities of the band members. I didn't know much at all about Stray Kids, but now I feel I got a great introduction to them. I look forward to seeing and hearing more from them. Thanks again! ❤

I love how your face lights up when Han is on the screen

16:58 ‘His unpredictability’ reminds me of Hans lyrics unpredicatableability

That theory you mentioned is true, though: a LOT of K-Pop idols actually don't produce their own music. Stray Kids was an experiment for JYP Entertainment. They were mostly hands-off with them; a lot of times, they were by themselves. The fact that they didn't get their first music show win until "Miroh," dropping four mini albums prior within their 2nd year, people were calling them JYP's first flop group because they couldn't gain popularity as quickly as all other groups. Then the issue of losing a member, really hurt them emotionally and mentally so they had to "start all over" and they FINALLY became popular after "God's Menu" dropped. By the time God's Menu dropped, they were already in Year 3 of their careers and they WEREN'T popular in their home country at all. International fans gave them more love. They're a self-produced group which need more love. Thanks for the video. I can't afford Patreon to support you, but, thanks again for supporting Stray Kids.

Love Chris Bangchan! 🥰 Beautiful inside & out!

Thanks for reacting! I think now i see much more than i thought there were thanks to your analysis. They are real professionals and kind people!

Never enough of LeeKnow. Maybe I'm just addicted

This is top tier Stray Kids content, and you added to it beautifully!

YAYYY!! ur Stray Kids and 5SOS vids are my favs ever

During one of the episode on weekly idols, they all mentioned they all being hurt by bang chan seriousness in music production 😂 seems like bang chan cares alot but also pressure alot and being very serious as compared to changbin, changbin is their best listerner and the one they all loook for esp 2000s liners like hyunjin seungmin felix and han, bang chan is the the dad and changbin is like the mom, while hannie just make fun things more fun between 3 rachas ❤ btw really love ur reaction and comments! Its so relatable and u are really good observer!

I always ALWAYS love the amount of love and appreciation Changbin gets in this channel. Warms my heart 🥰

I have a boyfriend for like one year but i’ve known Stray Kids for like 5 years not gonna lie Stray Kids indeed my standard! Luckily my bf is also such a nice kind person he always curious why i’m being a fan of Stray Kids and he took time to watch/ask me a lot about them and he said he can see why and he’s proud that i have high standard bcs of them 🥰 skz is one of a kind love their work ethic, personality, everything!

as a music producer like 3racha, i really love watching their recording behind the scenes! it really influences my feedback style in the studio, and i've found i've just really gotten more invested and focused on even the smallest part of recording, especially when recording vocals. they've all inspired me to have a bit more fun in the studio and not simply treat it like work but also make a personal connection with the artist i'm recording, so that no matter the genre of the music, the lyrics can really shine with the intent the artist put into making them!!

You are the president of Hanner 😅

It's so sad, that I can't hit the like button more than once 😢❤thanks for this amazing reaction ❤ it's so great that they show us theire way of work and love for it ❤

Thank you so much for your reaction! I love to see people appreciation on Stray Kids and Stray Kids music! 🥰🥰

We need more of the triplets😃😃

What’s a wonderful command, what a fruitful and well-coordinated work in the group, Ban Chan is an incredible personality and leader 👍

I really like your reaction. I watched all the Stray Kids videos because I'm a fan of them.

Yasss thank you for that 🫶🏻

I am always here for your Han rants. XD Such fun watching you react to them, as always.

the lee know appreciation I needed 🥺 you truly get it

Love your stray kids reactions keep it up please 🥰

I didn't realize until now but the contrast between Han being so energic and lively in the Topline recording vs much lower energy in the others is cause Topline was recorded much longer ago, during pre/early Maxident promotions it looks like. It's been really heartbreaking to see Han loose a lot of his spark this year.

Have you reacted to woozi producing from seventeen he says like 6 words but communicates so well with so few words?

I love your Stray Kids reactions! Can’t wait for more!

if you want to see more of their thought process and the other members takes on creating albums i suggest that you watch any of the making of the albums, especially this last album 5 star! it gives great insight into how the other members take part in the process and their thoughts around creating music with each other. some of the older ones focus on the music making process and 3rachas involvement as producers!

I MISSED YOUR STRAY KIDS REACTIONS! im glad you came back with such a great video

GOD DAM THEY ATE THAT SHIT UPPPP LIKE DAMM👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥

Stray kids are so talented, funny, hardworking, and intelligent. Thanks, Max.

The do these little bits for each album and the album intros are also really facinating to watch

Чувак просто схватил краш на Хана, я поняла)

Do I sense a Han bias 🤔 (because your little mini rant about him sounded like me ranting about how much I love Han 😂)

Han will always be de maknae of 3racha

Pleasant things happened to me earlier and I just saw this update, what a good dayy. :D Thank you!

Stray Kids: Max and all Stays: talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show-stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before

Fun fact 3racha decided to close their eyes during recording because they couldn't stop laughing at each other

Я это видео не устаю смотреть. Наверно уже счет на десятые пошел.

I really like see them in a different environment, see the like you said not like a product but like the masterminds behind everything.... And I really like your voice too btw 😅

4:29 it’s funny because i always feel like changbin kind of resembles that one really fun teacher in high school and then when he’d become serious in a certain moment everyone’s reaction would be like “oh sh*t” lol

Thanks for analyzing them again 👍🏽

Your stray kids videos are my favorite! Idk but there is something about their friendship that feels so vulnerable and genuine that it makes me want to better my communication and relationship skills

I love how you reacts with every details... Agree,dance rancha are soooo talented and very professional when they do the production staff. On point when you say Lee Know gives a lighter vibe and being natural funny. That makes him my happy pill. Straykids are all talented and passionate. They're down to earth and genuine. Hardworking and enjoy what they do

I just love Stray Kids. Everything they do is a pleasure to watch!

It’s a blessing to have in the fandom bro, all the love ❤️

this one of the biggest reason why i stan these boys,thank you for your honest reaction for stray kids💙

Chan trusts the others' opinions too. He tells them what he wants and they can use their own instinct to sing it and if it doesn't work, they do it again

Thank you for doing this reaction, I always admire the way you vocalize your thoughts ✨

I always love your reactions and analysis. Thank you very much for your work, and thanks for appreciating the kids work

I love when they have fun while working in songs. I love han being han, him being his silly self 🥺

As soon as i end college and get a job, the first thing i do is subscribing to your patreon

Youtiful is an amazing song. My daughter is really struggling with finding herself, and she was feeling like she didn't fit in. I played youtiful for her cause the song praises uniqueness.

Bang Chan probably wrote As he does most of their songs so he has an ear for which way it will go

Miss your straykids videos❤❤❤❤

Great reaction!!!! Love these guys.

Thank you so much for reacting to the amazing Stray kids.

I agree to everything you saiid 👐

I love your reactions❤❤❤

i'd love to see you watch their stray kid go eps in jeju, i felt like they were the most domestic there

You made my day uploading this video 💞 I loved your reaction as usual

A FORCE TO RECKON WITH... spot on❤ for real

3racha has always been the ones doing stray kids music. Bang Chan controls tracks, Han, and Changbin come up with lyrics and harmony. Stray kids write their own music. All members have contributed songs to the group.

i stan the right group

I love your reaction to this video! Thank you for making this 🙂
