Stray Kids "TOPLINE (Feat. Tiger JK)" Video | REACTION + LYRICS EXPLAINED! 

much love to you ❤ 🙇🏽🫡⭐️📖👍🏼

itsANDYandJAS X Stray Kids = Top line🔥🔥

Top line is Chan's life in a song. the first time I read the lyrics I could picture everything Chan told us about his journey, how hard it was and even now when every single Stay is telling him to take a break and take care of himself because he accomplished so much, he is like "no, I have so much more to do". No one can compare to Chan tbh! his sacrifice, hard work, failures, drive, debut and his slow and steady success with skz are unmatched and he is not planning on slowing down but he is never cocky about it, just genuinely happy about his accomplishments and new goals. 🌟

The lines talking about "counting wins on the Grand Line" and "But they can't pass me I'm the Red Line", I feel are One Piece references! In One Piece, the Grand Line is an ocean route that wraps around the world and is basically where all the pirates who want to make names for themselves and start their adventures go.... however, not a lot of people make it because the Grand Line is unpredictable, dangerous, and is filled with lots of other strong people. In fact, there was only one pirate crew to make it all the way through and the Captain of that crew became the Pirate King. So the line, "counting wins on the Grand Line", is basically saying they're out there getting all these "wins" as they make their way “around the world”, (STRAY KIDS WORLD DOMINATION) making it big in this industry that many people want to make it in, but is not always the case. The "Red Line" is a continent that wraps around the entire world in One Piece kind of like a giant border. It goes high above sea level all the way down to the sea floor and is considered to be impassable and indestructible. So it's an easy comparison to say that Stray Kids is the Red Line and you can't pass them because they're just too good at what they do and are at that high of a level. 🤭 I'm not the best at explaining but I hope this made sense! That's what I thought those lines meant. Keep up the great videos! I always enjoy your reactions and how you guys really break down the lyrics 🫶🏻

A lot of the younger kids don’t understand how legendary Tiger JK truly is and it’s insane to me. This was a genius collab! ❤

One thing I have noticed about this comeback is that Hyunjin is rapping a LOT more than he has for a while. And I'm here for it! Something else.....they showed that Topline comic book so many times in the MV, I wonder if they're actually going to add that to their merch for fans to buy?

This song is a total flex… but a flex they are justified to do. They busted their behinds for this and they still do. The men have receipts and answer the haters with talent! Loved the breakdown and translations, I really look forward to seeing your reaction and explaining the more abstract cultural references that a Westerner like me might not get or truly understand. Fun as always. 🖤🖤🖤

Love watching you both...thanks for explaining. STRAY KIDS are TOPLINE!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

They mentioned in one of the interviews that they don't feel like they ,,made it". They always stay hungry, and full of enthusiasm. Their work ethic is insane, they're focused on making the music that they want.

Andy and Jas, we love you because you give us insights into their lyrics from a Korean language perspective which the western world may not grasp. And an understanding of how important of a collaboration with Tiger JK is in this song. I for one love listening to both you and the musics meanings. Thank You!! I’ll bet Chani loves watching your reactions to them!

I didn't listen to topline until the mv was out, it was really hard to make because it was one of my most anticipated songs from the album. Even though my expectations were already at the topline, skz somehow went even higher. It is really legendary like tiger jk. I have no words.

im so glad chan watches this channel. you guys really deserve recognition with all the effort you put into these videos

You guys explaining the two rabbits idiom and going higher and further made me think of the visual idea of Stray Kids wanting to literally be the top line of all the charts and graphs and statistics. Any metric that you want to use against them, Stray Kids want to be the top-most line, going higher and further than anyone else

AYYOOOO thank you guys for your amazing reaction and lyrics explanation!!!❤️‍🔥 I just wanted to jump on the breakdown for the Möbius strip line bc I was GEEEKING ouuttt!! ITS JUST SUCH A COOL AND MULTILAYERED ILLUSTRATION MY NERDY BRAIN CANT GET ENOUGH! So I totally agree with everything you said and I think there’s another meaning too!! Bc another really interesting property about Möbius strips is that they only have 1 side (so all sides are the TOP side)! Soooo using that illustration is like tiger jk & skz saying that NO MATTER WHAT/WHEN/WHERE they are always chasing/riding the TOP🔥🔥🔥 And this might be even more of a reach but Möbius strips are also known for only having 1 edge(boundary) so that miigghhttt be them saying that they themselves are the only limits to their music/creativity/artistry!!!! AGAIN IM PROBABLY READING TOO FAR INTO IT BUT MY MIND WAS BLOWN AND I JUST HAD TO SHARE🤯 PS: AS ALWAYS WE LOVE AND APPRECIATE THE TIME AND EFFORT YALL PUT INTO REACTING AND DISSECTING THE LYRICS!! your insights into the cultural significance of the Korean sayings are especially valuable and I always love getting hyped along with you guys!

I love your breakdowns, so glad to see this one. Here's another perspective: A lot of those lyrics like "If you follow behind me just looking at my rear, you're going to derail" are also saying --"Yo, dude, if you're just going along nose to our butt trying to get where we are by following us, you'll never find your own way and you'll crash because you're never looking up to see where YOU are. We made it by being ourselves. Be yourself, make it as yourself, that's how we did it, so if you want to copy us, do what we did and do your own thing!" Over and over their diss tracks and flex tracks are actually saying the same message as Maniac had--be your own odd self and let it out, don't hide, don't try to be someone else to be successful, be successful because you are the best you there is...." Most of my favorite reactors (like you guys) do that, they are their own odd selves, they bring so much enthusiasm and energy and don't worry too much about seeming weird, and it is so fun to watch, and that's why they're successful. They stand out because they give their very own flavor, which is unique to them. And Skz is totally into that style of success. One reason their are my current favorite group.

Love Tiger JK and Stray Kids! Iconic song that is TOPLINE!! Thank you both for explaining the lyrics. Y'all always help us non-Korean speakers to understand the songs much better! Thanks Andy and Jas

this song was fire my jaw dropped to the floor🔥🔥🔥

I love this song. It shows just how down to earth they really are. I agree with Jas, the haters karma is causing SKZ to get higher and higher.

Hi Andy and Jas!! Im here early😌 Thank u for taking your time to explain the lyrics to their songs for us. Forever will appreciate it and my two favorites forever. Love u guys so much🥲💚💚 P.s i dont care if u have to pause a million times to explain the lyrics. I will still watch no skip😌

I appreciate your videos so much! As an International fan, It seriously makes me love the songs more than I already did! Thanks to your hard work, we International fans can see the artistry and brilliance behind the lyrics and messages of their songs on a deeper level! I'm in awe because of them! Skz have obviously worked so hard and I can't wait to see whats next for them. I always look forward to your reactions and can't help but smile throughout your videos! I always hope that skz watches your videos to see how awesome you guys are! They deserve to see genuine reactions like yours:)) Also, shoutout to the One Piece references ;)

I LOVE the way you guys do these reactions. I am so grateful that you put so much work into explaining the text and the meaning. Love Stay

The INSANE level of references and play on words in this song is actually crazy! I saw one other person explain it in the comments but the pre-chorus is a big shout out to the manga/anime One Piece!! For those who aren't familiar with it, the basic premise is that the previous pirate king sets off a golden age of piracy by announcing at his own execution that he's left the world's greatest treasure, known as the One Piece, for anyone with the dream, will and ambition to find it. So people from all over the world have to traverse the infamous and legendary ocean that stretches around the entire circumference of the world to claim it and become the next pirate king. In the context of the song, the world is bisected by one massive, unpassable continent that reaches around the world called the "Red Line" and the legendary ocean the pirates have to get through to claim the one piece is called the "Grand Line". There is only one entrance to the Grand Line, so everyone that enters starts from the same starting point... but only the BEST, the ones who put in the work and the effort, with the best crews and the most ambition make it the farthest around the world and they're the closest to claiming the One Piece. The pre-chorus talking about rolling on the waves and collecting wins on the Grand Line feels like an allegory for Stray Kids career; how hard they've worked and how far they've come to be considered some of the best in the world. And the Red Line is unpassable to those who don't have the will or the guts to risk everything to get acrossit. Very few do and they're all the much stronger and more respected for getting to the other side. They're saying if you can't even get to this level, you won't surpass us. It's such a flex. To take it even FURTHER-- the TOPLINE comic they're all flipping through in the MV has some really awesome art on the cover of all eight members drawn in the same style and manner as some of the strongest and best Marine Admirals in the One Piece world. And it may be reaching but Felix's amazing coat is very similar to one of the strongest pirates warlords in the world known as Doflamingo Donquixote. It's definitely worth it to search quick pics of the One Piece Globe, One Piece Marine Admirals and Doflamingo just to get a quick glimpse and get a whole extra level of fun references from the song and MV. It's amazing!

I always appreciate the lyrics breakdown from my fellow Angelenos! Watching all your videos make me regret not taking those cheap korean language classes they used to offer in my old neighborhood next to k-town. STAY STRAY-JEE!!!

I read that references to “red line” and “grand line” are a shout out to One Piece. What do you think?

I really like the lyrics, thank you for explaining it further! Can't wait for you to really get to talk with skz hahaha never say never!

We didn’t deserve this Collab. Holy smokes the king tiger jk himself with skz AND Andy and jas breaking down the Korean lyrics ? I’m blessed

Felix in the red coat looks like that Elmo plush behind Andy!! 😭lmao I know he's looking so badass but I can't unsee it Thanks for the great reaction as always, I love when you talk about the double meanings in their lyrics!

I'm early this time! I always enjoy the lryics explanation part. Thank you Andy and Jas!!!

Like in that one recent interview with an American company (Seventeen? I don't remember) where SKZ was asked if they feel like they have arrived and they were all like, "What? No! We're still hungry!"

I love the explanation of speeding up from the top. If you look at their early songs like My Pace and Tortoise and the Hare were about taking the time to perfect their sound. Their journey is so inspiring.

This was already one of my favorite tracks this album but now I have an even better appreciation and understanding of this whole song! Thank you always for going in depth in explaining lyrics and even adding interpretations, analysis, of the whole song. It's always a blast to watch your videos! 💖 More power to you too 🔥

In an interview for elle they said that they haven't felt that they have made it they are still hungry for more just like topline , love your videos ❤❤❤

I just gotta say that I love your reactions and deconstructions the most cause you give us so much insight on the lyrics and the Korean language and culture and the respect for GOAT artists like Tiger JK! I feel like other reactors can only scratch the surface and often misinterpret things because they have to rely on the English subtitles. Love the video and your love for SKZ!

You all are so hype!!!! I have been waiting for your reaction!! 🖤🖤🖤

Stray kids lyrical geniuses

I love how you explain the nuances of the Korean lyrics so that us non-speakers can better appreciate the lyrics. Thank you!

As always, love your reaction and explanation..😊❤. Five Star Album is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.

My dream as a child for middle school was to get good grades (all a’s) and focus on my school life. I carried that goal with me to middle school. I still have that goal for my future too. This year, I basically did it, I only missed one class to have all a’s in the grade book. I am proud. It connects to what Andy and jaz are saying beacause I stuck to my dream and I worked really, really hard.

I LOVE your reactions! You're always so genuine and super funny! 😄❤ Thank you so much also for all the explanations and translations, your work is precious and as an i-Stay, I can understand better about the context and references. Greetings from Italy!

AAAAAAAAAAA SKZ X TIGER JK IS A WHOLE DREAM I LOVE THIS SM

Bro seungmin shine in this whole album

I saw on twitter that this song was written 3 years ago :)

at the top, keep going not slow down ---- to at least some degree, I believe their humbleness is genuine, don't fully comprehend that they are the idols they are, so still pursuing that dream, not fully comprehending how much they've actually achieved through their very hard work.

TIGERJK COMMENTED ON YOUR VIDEO?! YOU HAVE MADE IT!! You know Han has seen this. He loves reaction videos!

Bir şarkı ancak bu kadar güzel açıklanırdı. Tebrikler.. Keyifle izledim..

love your REACTIONS im american and i love stray kids never could figure out the full meaning of the lyerics to them thanx so much for teaching me and letting me love them even more and appreciate them more love yah

You guys are my fave 😍 I love how you explain the lyrics word per word 🔥⭐️

I see the hole interpretation of the song also connected to the one piece reference. Because in one piece one main point is to follow your dreams without giving anyone the chance to destroy them. The dream to become the king of the pirates no matter what anybody thinks about it and defeating every challenge that’s coming up to get to the top

Thank you thank you thank you!!!

As soon as I saw this MV I came straight here

Pls the way you're explaining everything for us :( I really love you guys. Thank you

My favorite reactors! Yours explanations is all I needed to know! 👏🏻🩵

And they always said that they are still at level 1 if i'm not mistake...and they always remember that they still learning... that i like a lot about them...

have you guys watched the behind the scene of the music video? Han is a big fan of Tiger JK he was so nervous😭❤️

I love you guys 😂❤

I did not see this in my notifications yesterday. Topline with Tiger JK is such a cool and powerful song!! The music video is also amazing. They are so lit when they stand on the truck vans and tall buildings. Lol, I am eating a chocolate Haagen-Dazs popsicle, watching this.

Thank you so much for trying to break down the words with no direct translation. I LOVE that you guys do this because I have difficulty learning other languages. It's why i keep coming back here.

I've been waiting for this reaction!! Much love guys!

MERCI... Once more thank you so much. I like so much your explanations and, above all, the way you understand so well Stray Kids behaviour and goal. They are so clever ! And sorry but is that Lee Know raw voice ? They are really fire in this song. Voices and flow... (sorry for my english).

I already love this song but I knew i’d love it more when I hear/watch your explained video for this. Thanks so much for this, Andy & Jas! This is why you’re my fave channel ♥️

Han was too nervous to get tiger tk number and a picture, but skz told him he can get it next time 😅

I already love stray kids but I like your helpful interpretations, it adds depth, thanks.

I saw another connection with the time travel theory: After he say that right after the him is Han and in a way a could seem like he saying even his flow travel to Han cause we all know that Tiger JK is Han idol

I got everything you guys were saying I love how you guys decipher things so well for me at least

Great reaction, as always, Andy and Jas! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and the deeper meaning of the lyrics. It's also great that the topic of Stray Kids wanting more for their career and I think that's why they keep on pushing themselves while they still can, which unfortunately, there are those who don't understand. As Hyunjin mentioned during one of their interviews, "they are still hungry" and that's what keeps them going. 🔥🔥🔥

I WAITED FOR THIS REACTION SINCE YESTERDAY AAAA THANK YOU

Absolutely love your reactions! So full of passion and hilarious. Also love the explanation of the lyrics. Thank you.

Thank you for this explanation! I finally understand these lyrics

💥💥Thank you for Explaining..its Been Great💥💥

I love your videos, thanks to you I appreciate much more, even if possible, the quality of the lyrics. ❤

It's on page 100, every page! 😂😂😂

I really appreciate you guys explaining the lyrics, it helps me understand so much! Thanks so much!

Nauurrr, I was looking forward to this reaction! 🫂 Skz & Tiger JK 🔥

Thank you for your analysis. It's always a pleasure 😊

They are so humble. Even in a interview they where asked if they had a “we made it moment”, and Chan said “not yet but we are getting there” , and as stays we are like “GUYS, YOU DO” but yeah, at the end they have this work ethic and its mind blowing and yeah I agree, total respect to them 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 as always, Thanks for your reaction and analysis 😍😍😍 I strongly recommend you reacting to the Making Film (If you haven’t already), you two reacted the same way as them in that Video 😂😂😂 Han was adorable

I was waiting for this reaction!!!! YESS!!!!

I hope you guy watch the MV making for Topline. It was so cool seeing them interact with Tiger JK 😆

I want to thank you for the explanation. Even if I have cc it is not giving me what it means and you do that. For a Swede it is hard to understand the korean wordplay etc and now I get what the song is about. I love you both for this.🥰

boy next door songs reaction plzz

I wonder if you guys have any input related to "I'm so cocky" lyrics in Get LIt with "We're not cocky" lyrics in Topline XD.

i do think the grand line and the red line are the reference to one piece?

Боже партия Хёнджина это такой хот боже......
