WE REACT TO STRAY KIDS: VENOM - SUCH A COOL VIDEO!! 

You should check out their english songs! Double Knot, Levanter, Top, Slump and Domino all have english versions! And theyre all amazing, a lot of timess english versions of kpop songs dont hit as well but with stray kids it translates perfectly. Double Knot has a performance video and Top and Slump have recording videos i think because theyre songs for the anime Tower of God! I also find it hilarious that you guys always find a way to connect them to blackpink when the two groups really couldnt be more different 🤣

React to freeze of stray kids please

Don't worry, you guys are doing a wonderful job of multitasking. Besides, Stray Kids understand that they have a massive international fandom who doesn't speak Korean. So they work hard to have their music conveyed despite the language barrier. I think they understand about the language barrier as well as Black Pink, both groups have fluent English speakers that are from English First countries. I promise though, over time, it will become second nature and you will be able to retain more and more of the song, lyrics, and the visuals. I think that because the guys have such deep lyrics that they themselves wrote and crazy beats that themselves made, it can in fact be a little harder with them. There's a lot more to absorb Lol take your time and don't worry about it. I really love watching you two. 🖤

Stray Kids are pretty amazing. They are completely self produced, from lyrics, arrangements, tracks, they do it all. Yeah the language barrier, definitely warrants most K-pop MVs at least two watches. And unfortunately some of the wordplay tends to get lost in translation. Stray kids are very well known for their witty, clever lyrics. Suggestions would be Freeze, Thunderous, Gods Menu and Easy.

Eric - one option that some kpop fans/reactors do (aside from just binge the videos haha) - there are so many "fan made" color-coded lyric videos. Could watch the video, and then watch one of those to catch the lyrics, not to mention, see who is singing/rapping which part. So happy you two reacted to this one!! That beat just gets under your skin. To this day it'll catch my off-guard sometimes and give me goosebumps when that drop/chorus comes in. Would love to see you do "Back Door" or if you want to go towards the beginning "District 9"

Kpop MVs always take AT LEAST 3 playthroughs. Once for the music, again for the visuals, then once more for the lyrics. It's the only way to fully absorb the mind blowing talent. Sometimes I have to watch it even more just so I can focus on each member.

ANOTHER AWESOME ONE GUYS!!!! 😮. I got sucked into K-POP last year because of BLACKPINK, and these dudes (Stray Kids) are fucking awesome! I was thinking the same thing you said Eric…. I wish this was all English because I can’t imagine how much more I would be into some of these groups! There’s something refreshing about some of these K-POP groups. The music can rock, can bounce, can be fun. It doesn’t sound like typical pop, hip hop, rock. South Korea seems to be kicking ass. The music is good with these guys (and BP, etc), the videos are artistic and top notch production, the lyrics are often really well thought out and deep, the lighting, the color, the dancing, etc. Just a lot of fun energy. I keep saying it Everytime, but I can’t believe as a 49 year old white American male that I am so into K-POP! My wife and teenage sons think I am nuts! 😂. It was that BLACKPINK rabbit hole that sucked me in and I love it! AND YOU GUYS ARE KILLING IT WITH REACTIONS!!! PS- Try to get Dreamcatcher “Vision”. Has a really hard edge I know you will love. And they are easy on the eyes also like BLACKPINK! 😍

Y'all really are some of the best reactors. Y'all don't just stare at the screen and feel that the job is done, you analyze it all the way through and appreciate the music before, during and after you watch it.

I guess you guys have to title yourself „KPOP HEADS“ now 😂

Stray Kids makes it a point not to gender the subjects of their lyrics to allow the listener to interpret how they like. Certainly there is intention in their lyrics, but I appreciate that they allow listeners to get whatever they want out of the music. In this case, the venomous figure could be a person (some type of toxic relationship) or a toxic situation (like fame) Looking forward to more reactions!

hi guys..can you also watch FREEZE by Stray Kids? thank you

*Stray Kids* has close to 200 (if not more) songs in their short existence. They are one of the few groups are self produced by their leader *Bang Chan (or Chris),* JYP Entertainment gave him unheard of CONTROL over picking the members for the group. One of my favorite songs: - "Hellevator"

I'm not sure if you have watched some of their older stuff, but please check them out. DISTRICT 9, VICTORY SONG, MIROH, EASY. Check these out.

Such a great reaction guys! Thank you so much, I look forward to seeing you dive more and more into the Kpop world!

okay guys the next stop is "back door" 😄 You definitely will like that riff 👀

Stray kids stages and performance are just something else They sound even better live,also they're one of the few groups that actually sing live..their stages are so fun I recommend watching their MAMA live performance

If you liked it I highly recommend "Heyday" by 3RACHA - (producing unit of skz - Bang Chan, Changbin and Han). I also recommend "The Tortoise and the Hare" (Very different and experimental but amazing song ) or "Charmer". As for their Japanese releases I would recommend "All in" and "Circus". Love the reactions btw!

I love how you guys react and the things that you pick up! Stray Kids is so creative with their sound and videos, it's crazy! So I want to recommend you some things with videos and also without because their B-Sides are also killer. So with videos you should probably also check out Freeze, Red Lights, Superboard, Give me your TMI, Cheese, Side Effects. I think you will enjoy those plenty! Without music video just look up the lyrics videos of the following; Muddy Water, Maze of Memories, Tortoise and the Hare, Silent Cry, Domino. I mean everything they make are bangers but yeah haha these are my recommendations! Keep up the good work.

Now you are ready for freeze!! Thank you guys i love your react

Please the Black Pink comparisons. StrayKids is proud of their odd original sounds. No comparisons to any groups please.

I LOVE BP AND SKZ - and i love that you guys both enjoy both groups as well

Day 3 of me begging for you guys to react to oh my god by gidle

Y'all hit the nail on the head about the language barrier. I am trying to learn this language now. Xdinary heros is their brother group from stray kids. They actually play instruments and have a punk rock sound. Theydebutedt last year. They might to a cover of Venom in the future they did on on stray kids debut song Hellevator and it was even more amazing. Als, the MAMA 2022 performance of Venom and Maniac versions has more rock sound. The energy at the live performance is off the charts.

You guys should watch mama 2022 performance of this and maniac remix! Its phenomenal!

Such a great reaction! loving your kpop reactions and Stray Kids especially! Another recommendation is Freeze!

awesome reaction guys! if you'd like Stray Kids actually does some songs in english such as "Top" "Double Knot" "Domino" "slump" :) only thing is with the english versions they don't have videos.

A Lot of us feel the "pain" of having to read and watch and try to catch "both" parts of the video Which is why - Watching Reaction videos is how we catch the things we missed We see the things that you picked up on that we might not have we hear the things that you Pick out that we might have over looked Which is Why - We Thank You

I’m gonna go watch the video real quick and then come back lol Edit: broooo this video is fire!

Am i the only one who always wait anxiously for felix line in each of there songs........

Double Knot, Easy & District 9. They are Bangers in my opinion, you need to react to them next.

Let's go Stray Kids 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥love your reaction handsome guys. More STRAY KIDS pleaseeee 😍

The song is about the complex relationship of the Stray Kids to the world of show business. Everyone gets there voluntarily.

Stray Kids' Freeze, Charmer, Domino (dance practice), Muddy Water (Old School rap featured a whole English verse by Felix the Australian). Check this song out for a crazy long and fast korean rap, GOTTASADAE by BeWhy - this dude's rap game is insane.

Thanks for checking this out, this reaction made me so happy!😂🔥🔥💪🏾

Loving your Kpop journey! ❤

Yayyyy now I can listen to it and/or sing it around you!! It takes me watching their m/v multiple times to fully catch all that goes on in them cuz of how dynamic and layered the visuals are! All their songs on their newest album are 🔥 I REALLY want you to listen to Muddy Waters cuz I know you’ll dig it a lot! Fun Fact - Felix is from Australia, English was his first language, he had to learn Korean 😉

I love all the kpop reactions! It's really fun watching you guys discover a whole new world!! I think you would like ATEEZ as well! They have some pretty cool stuff! Halazia and Guerrila are the most recent ones and really experimenral, but all their music is great! They are amazing as well and buddies with stray kids, its really wholesome!

please also listen to the freeze and charmer songs,the bastis bomb song🔥🔥

Fwiw, SKZ do have English versions for a few of their songs. And since 25% of the group are native English speakers, and several more are good to very good with English, the translation sounds natural. They're able to reword the things that need to be reworded while preserving the overall meaning and matching the rap flows and whatnot. Perks of being the writers and producers while also fully bilingual. As should be expected, some fit better than others, but none are subpar. SLUMP is a masterpiece in all three versions (Japanese, Korean, English). Domino is almost as funny in English as it is in Korean. Levanter will always be gorgeous. TOP is hard-hitting in all three languages. Double Knot had to have been a nightmare to convert to English, but they made it work (plus we got a performance video for the ot8 English version, in addition to the MV for the original nine-member Korean version). And then there's the songs that are already originally in English, written by the two native-English-speaking Australian members, Chan's "Connected" and Felix's "Deep End."

The thing about subtitled videos is if you keep watching more of them, you will improve on your speed reading skills and eventually you'll get to a point where you're reading fast enough to be able to absorb everything simultaneously - the visuals, the sounds and the language. That's actually how I pick up on different languages like Korean, Japanese, Mandarin and Cantonese. It's all about practice and getting used to it.

I hope you always read all the comments that tell u abt stray kids bcs I really love how stay explain it with every information that can make you going deeper and deeper to skz, enjoy your journey with skz

If you love Venom you should really check out 2022 MAMA Venom + Maniac. They switch up the beats to more rock vibe and it's so freaking 🔥.

Not English speakers have allways have the same issue with english music but you overcome it if the music is this great. :)

It's funny becoming I was just thinking today about potentially trying to learn Korean for similar reasons you two expressed in this reaction. It would definitely inhance my understanding and appreciation of songs but, I just have to find the desire to pick up a new language and, that's the issue lol

Next you should definitely listen to „freeze“ or „super board“ - they are quite different to the songs you heard before!

Please react to BTS- Dionysus MMA 2019

Next .. FREEZE.. U guys hv to check it out

You should react to Epik High - Rosario, very good song and amazing lyric

can i say eric i love all your glasses where your beer is in, can i have one!

hiiii guys Stray kids is fire 🔥🔥🔥 I wanted to ask you to react to BTS Some indications: Mic drop, Dionysus, Not today, FIRE, ON... Thanks for the video 🫶🏻

Hii guys... A suggestion from me would be a group called "BIGBANG" which was at their peak from their debut to up until they decided to go on hiatus in 2016-2017.... They are from same agency as BLACKPINK called YG... They are 2nd generation k-pop group who changed whole k-pop industry all by themselves.... Many many 3rd and 4th generation group members are not only inspired by them but are actually die heart fans of BIGBANG... They are like "legends" of k-pop usually called as "idol's of idols"... I really really hope you guys check them out coz believe me they were way ahead of their time back then and I'm more than sure you'll enjoy them

y'all should react to their god's ddu-du-ddu-du performance from Kingdom! it's a mash-up of their god's menu and blackpink's ddu-du-ddu-du and it was beyond epic! skz are amazing performers, not to mention extremely skilled rappers, singers, dancers, and producers!

I'm ARMY and don't normally like a lot of K-Pop. I know, sounds weird because BTS is part of the Korean Music Industry. Most ARMY consider BTS as their own separate genre. But I wanted to say that Westerners often refer to K-Pop as a genre when it's not, it is an industry. Just like the American Music Industry or The British Music Industry, you don't call those genres. But if you were going to categorize K-Pop as a genre, then Stray Kids and Blackpink would fit inside that box. Stray Kids is probably my favourite K-Pop group. And I am STAY friendly and my bias is Han and my bias wrecker is Changbin. Who is only ever so slightly ahead of Felix (gotta love Felix). Also BLINK friendly. Jenny is my bias. At the end of the day, good music... is good music. And I enjoy their work. They produce bangers and they're very entertaining. People often dismiss K-Pop and they shouldn't. These groups and artists are disciplined, well trained, seasoned professionals and performers. People are missing out.

PLEASE REACT TO SOME NCT. they are soooooo unique and I think you guys would love them. sticker is a good suggestion or 2 baddies

next!: GOD'S DU-DU-DU-DU (Stray Kids use Blackpink song for a remix for a famous live performance competition Kingdom), spoiler alert - Stray Kids won the show ;)

React to BTS too🙏✨, this song is UNBELIEVABLE I love the heavy drop sound

Please could you react to CHEESE ? Great concept, i always workout with this song, and the video concept is so cool

I am really enjoying your reactions, thank you! I would like to recommend you "muddy water" - firstly, because it has a verse in english (4 members are in this song, each wrote his own lyrics; since Felix is Australian, it was easier for him to write in English), secondly because in the chorus Changbin and Han rap back and forth (I think you mentioned in some reaction that you like such a thing). there is no music video for this, you would have to watch a lyrics video. I would also like to recommend you a song called "3racha" written and performed by the subunit called 3racha who are the producers of the group (Chan, Changbin and Han). the third verse - the one from Chan - is completely in English. for some songs they also have english versions which were translated from Korean by Chan and Felix (both English native speakers from Australia): "double knot" (it has a performance video), "domino" (no video), "slump" (no video; my most favorite song I have ever heard in my life), "levanter" (no video, this song is just singing with a bit of melodic rap).

If you liked this one, then I’d react to “Freeze” by stray kids or “Case 143” also by stray kids if you haven’t already

I think you guys are gonna love J-Hope 'More' and 'Arson' as well.

LOVE LOVE LOVE your reactions to stray kids. The beat of Venom reminds me of a spiders legs plucking across a web. If you like stray kids I HIGHLYYY recommend you react to Ateez!

YOU ARE NOW READY TO WATCHE "FREEZE" BY SKZ! AWESOME REACTION!!!

Many reactors watch the video first then watch a second time with the lyrics. Stray Kids are so talented.

I started listening to *Stray Kids* Last Year... about 3 months ago and really... I can't stop listening to them They are so talented, their songs are DOPE and like you guys said there's something special about them. Love SKZ ❤️ Stray Kids everywhere all around the world 🇧🇷 Also, loved your reactions!

You can react to it 2 times if you really want to catch evrything

You should hear charmer it's a banger

long comment incoming- i've been binge watching your kpop reaction videos, i love hearing your insight and seeing you slowly understand why kpop is so popular! id like to point out that stray kids are a self produced group, so all those beats you love have been made by them. i think you guys would love to learn more about the members themselves- especially 3racha, the producing team (bang chan, han, changbin)! here's a pretty long but really complete video on the group, explaining where they come from, how the group was formed, who each member is and what they all do! if you feel like learning more about why they're so unique, i definitely recommend watching it (or even reacting to it for a video- fans like long reaction videos as well haha) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_mR2zOcL_vo.html also, i understand what you guys meant when you talked about reading subtitles when wanting to focus on the video- i'd recommend watching once with no subtitle, to focus on the visuals, and then watch with the subtitles, to pair up visuals and meaning!

YOU have NO idea how fucking HAPPY I AMMM!!!!!!!!

I absolutely love your stray kids reactions! But it just occurred to me that you guys should react to Miley Cyrus’ cover of Metallica’s Nothing Else Matters. The version with Elton John, and other famous musicians. I hope you haven’t seen it. I think it would blow your minds, her voice sounds so amazing!

I know you’re reacting to a bunch of diff groups currently but if you ever get a chance. I think you guys might vibe with Xdinary Heroes, they’re a k-rock band under the same label as Stray Kids ☺️

Thank you guys so much ❤. Check out the Mama version if you want to see a Metal version. Also, another group to check out is definitely ATEEZ. You’ll love them. Check out their MV for Guerilla.

So he hasn’t done a cover for Venom, but RU-vidr That K-pop Guitarist does unbelievably cool covers of a lot of groups y’all have loved so far. Not strictly metal, but he accompanies the original videos/songs and gets the vibe right every time. I highly highly recommend his channel. Also! Loved this reaction, thank you so much for making it. If you’re interested, Ateez released a new song, Halazia, that I have a feeling you might like.

Their MAMA performance is amazing bringing it to life on stage

The most popular/famous band Stray Kids. With self-produced original music and exceptional performances. A fourth-generation K-pop leader group sitting in the middle of the music market.

I'm love your reacts, please react "2022 EM UMA MÚSICA".

How did you guys sleep on the rest of the bangers from stray kids. domino, gods menu, freeze to name a few. NOT TO MENTION THE ROCK VERSION OF LALALALALA from the album.

There are like 160 more songs to go with Stray Kids... I hope you continue the journey. If you want to try a fully English song of theirs, you could try "Double Knot" English version. It has a mv for it. Or you could try "Domino", "Slump" or "Levanter". They all have English versions, but those would havce to be done with a lyric video.

Straykids are absolutely incredible! They write and produce everything themselves which is not common in kpop. Their leader Bang Chan personally selected each member which is also very very rare in kpop. So glad you're checking them out. This is my first video I've watched from you guys (bcuz I always watch ppl react to my faves Straykids lol) so I don't know what kind of audience you have but to address the language barrier issue, many reactors I watch will watch the video without paying attention to the lyrics just to enjoy the cinematography, music and choreography and then rewatch it a second time to read the lyrics. It only extends the reaction video by like 5 minutes so if that's something you'd be interested in doing then I highly recommend it. That way you can enjoy the lyrics and video without feeling like you're missing things 👍. Great reaction! Thank you for appreciating my boys and their hard work!

Honestly, they have so many songs that warrant checking out, not just for the music videos. Victory Song, Red Lights, Domino, Superbowl, Item, Comflex, Case 143, Topline, Circus etc. I could list so many that show their versitility. - If it helps to truly enjoy it, the album version of Super bowl is in English and there is an english version of Domino so honestly, enjoy losing yourselves down the rabbit hole. I know I have. LOL

Im sure that you gon like Charmer , Domino , cheese of Straykids

look babes you need to keep the kpop reactions up bc i absolutely die watching dudely dudes fall in love with kpop. i HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE FOLLOWING VIDEOS TO REACT TO specifically chosen by me for a metalhead/hiphop dude combo reaction channel: - nmixx 's O.O: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3GWscde8rM8.html - red velvet's PSYCHO: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uR8Mrt1IpXg.html - newjeans's OMG: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sVTy_wmn5SU.html - twice’s PERFECT WORLD: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fmOEKOjyDxU.html - le sserafim’s ANTIFRAGILE: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pyf8cbqyfPs.html you are gonna lose it at some of these

Maniac is another great Stray Kids song, which is on the same album as Venom. If you’re looking for creativity, Jackson Wang is a genius. All of his videos are self-produced and are like mini-movies (some of the mvs even have behind the scenes that shows concept development, filming, etc); he never sticks to just 1 genre: rap, rock, alt, 80s pop, etc.; 90% of them are in English. This might satisfy that downside y’all were discussing, lol.

I wouldn’t say stray kids are like blackpink just because they’re both kpop groups, they’re completely different

react to Stray Kids God’s ddu-du ddu-du

Let's remember, this is a Bside. Stray Kids have some of the best Bsides and some amazing videos for them

hi guys, i was thinking that in addition to FREEZE you might also like SIDE EFFECT ... I recommend them!!!

Guys, we really appreciate the reactions, but I think it would be good if you toned down the blackpink comparisons. I understand you're new to the genre, but the closest thing I can compare it to is someone hearing a verse by Kendrick Lamar and saying "He's utilizing a lot of Drake here!" or going "Oh, this Megan Thee Stallion is the female Drake!". It's nothing against any of the artists involved, but it's especially difficult to hear because, not being familiar, the things you point out to compare as the "Blackpink thing" are a staple of almost every act (like using harmonies for the buildup). Other than that your videos are top notch! Keep up the good work

“male ver of Blackpink” FACCCTSSSSS🔥💯💯💯💯

Mi Boyband de K pop favorita esta en mi top 10 de Artistas Asiaticos .

Every k pop reaction video of yours you mention blackpink … is there a reason for that? I love blackpink but I just don’t understand the reference or comparison????

Trust me, when you watch enough non-English content, you'll get used to watching things multiple times and get really good at reading very fast lol also, when you start listening to more kpop groups, you'll get more familiar with the musical properties that are just common things within kpop as a genre -- I hope you do find some more groups that y'all like! If you like music with interesting beats and sounds, you should check out ATEEZ

You guys need to check out Ateez. They are good friends with Stray Kids and the only top 4th generation kpop group that isn't from a big company. They are known as one of the best dance groups in kpop and have a main vocalist who is known to be the 4th generation vocalist of kpop. Jongho is no joke. I believe you guys would absolutely love them. Their newest song is Halazia and the mv feels like a whole ass movie. 😍

You should watch Hellevator by stray kids. And then watch it covered by xdinary heroes

I hope you get to check out BigBang and 2NE1 who are Blackpink’s sunbaenims (seniors). 🖤

The fact that SKZ is a self-producing group. they make incredible beats! (3racha)

Please react more to them, please watch: i'll be your man; is a live Performance is Great or du du du of Stray kıds version is a Masterpiece

Straykids and Ateez are sharing the first place for me they both so unique in their own way

I just binged watched all your kpop reactions 😂😂 I love a LOT of groups and I can’t wait to see what other groups you might check out. Also Jisoo of Blackpink will be having her solo debut this year! You’ll no doubt check that out I’m sure.

your reactions are super cool please react to bibi vengeance it's super crazy 🥺🥺

You’ll get better at reading the subtitles and watching the video at the same time, don’t worry!
