WHO ARE THESE GUYS?! Stray Kids "Back Door" M/V (American Reaction) 

BTS are leaders of 3rd generation of K-pop and stray kids are leaders of 4th generation.. but to me stray kids produce the best music ever😊

Blond Guy with deep Voice is Felix, and yes it's his Voice.

the reaction to felix’s voice lmao😂yes his normal voice is so deep, thanks you for reacting to stray kids they make their own music, next please react to “Gods Menu” “thunderous” “Maniac” “S class” and “Venom”

BTS is 3rd generation, Stray Kids is 4th generation...and both are most popular in their generation. Guy with the deep voice is FELIX (he's Australian, born in Sydney) and yes that truly is his singing voice. The age range of Stray Kids is 22 - 25yrs old... their oldest is Bang Chan (the leader) and is also Australian. Stray Kids recently won Best K-Pop at the 2023 VMA's where they also performed their recent hit "S-Class". I hope you check out more of Stray Kids mv's/songs. (some of their older songs: GODS MENU, EASY, DOUBLE KNOT, MIROH, MANIAC, VENOM, FREEZE, etc.. so much more)

Stray Kids 4th gen Leaders and the new kpop kings 🙏🏻❤️‍🔥

Well, they just won the VMA award for Best K-pop group.

God's menu, cheese, venom, double knot etc all must listens, Stray Kids don't miss and produce, write, and help choreograph all their music. I haven't heard a song from them that I didn't love ❤

Stray Kids write their own lyrics, make their own beats, and produce their own songs.

They have a variety of different genres to their music, no one song sounds the same as another. They are self produced, self composed and the lyrics are written mainly by their sub unit '3Racha' (Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han) which was conceived before they became Stray Kids. Bang Chan (leader) picked all the members of Stray Kids, that's why he's lovingly referred to as their 'dad' and he refers to them as his 7 kids 😂

Bts is from 3rd generation and Straykids is from 4th generation. And they have very different style or genre in terms of their music. And Straykids have a sub unit called 3Racha who wrote and produce most of their songs. And in all kpop groups if you focus only on lyrics , straykids has always has the deepest and meaningful message on their songs, if you just listen closely or read closely, they always has the best messages on their songs among others.

They are self produce, and recently they won a VMA award. They are amazing

Stray Kids and BTS are with different companies, and belong to different "generations" of kpop.Stray Kids debuted in early 2018, while BTS debuted in 2013, so BTS has quite a jump on them in terms of amassing views and so on. Both groups started out a bit slowly compared to some other kpop groups, and have built fans and so on over the years in a sort of snow-ball effect. Both are more popular in the West than in Korea. The oldest member of Stray Kids, Bang Chan, the leader, is the same age as the youngest member of BTS, Jungkook, and they belong to a group of "'97 liners", that is, male idols born in 1997, who are friends and hang out together. Lee Know, the second oldest, worked as a back-up dancer for BTS for a while before becoming an idol. BTS were the first group debuted by Big Hit so they were given a lot of leeway, since the company was trying to make a name for itself with a new concept, new ground, etc. Stray Kids is with the very successful Big Three company JYPE, which has been around for decades, and they are their experiment with giving a group more artistic control, a very good effort to have a main-stream group in a main stream company with a rougher, more independent feel. Stray Kids, music is creative, honest, and has a sense of humor, as well as being super well crafted. Stray Kids get a lot of hate for making "noise music", which they have embraced and made into a positive--one of their albums was called NoEasy which sounds like "noisy" if you say it fast (the pun is on purpose) and the title song on that album was Thunderous (in Korean it's Sorikun, meaning more or less "The Noise Makers"). Unusually for idol groups, Stray Kids was formed by the leader Bang Chan, he chose all the members. Their survival show focused on whether they could stay together and debut with all members, instead of the usual cut-throat competition and elimination plot-line. Almost all the music they performed in the show was written by the 3 members who form their production sub-unit, 3Racha. At various times some of the 3RAcha unit have mentioned that they were so excited when forming the team, to see what they could do musically with Felix' deep voice. It is indeed his real voice, and he can make it smooth and mellow, or rough or growly; he can go a looot deeper than he does in this song. They definitely play with a harder feel than most boy groups, they have followed the ground broken by BTS and hacked it open even further. Some of their original songs used some punk and grunge sounds, for the first few years they were often styled with a grunge look--plaid flannel shirts, faded t-shirts, a few chains, and so on. when they performed in Seattle last year, Chan sang Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit for fun. Harder feeling songs of theirs to check out would be Venom, S-Class, Freeze, Thunderous, Easy, Domino, Double KNot, District 9 (their debut song) and Hellevator (the predebut song they recorded for their survival show).

That is his real voice!! Felix is well-known for his deep voice. If you want to check out more stray kids music, you should react to "Maniac" "God's Menu" "S-class" and "Venom" and for some low-voice Felix "Victory Song" would be a good option! (I saw someone else mention it). BTS and Stray Kids are generally VERY different in terms of music. In terms of popularity, BTS leads the 3rd generation (previous generation) of K-pop, and Stray Kids leads the 4th generation (current generation) of K-pop, making Stray Kids the most popular boy band of this generation of K-pop. They also make ALL of their music.

There is an age difference in the two groups....I'm sure someone(s) below mentioned that BTS is more 3rd gen and Stray Kids is top of 4th gen. They have different styles, but I believe Stray Kids can become as big as BTS. They are rap heavy, but also they have beautiful ballads. They have an eclectic mix of sounds across their discography. They also write/produce their own music. They are very close to their fans. You should 100% check them out.

Best group ever

I have been a fan of these kids since their start and, while I knew they could be big, being one of the biggest groups ever already after just 5 years is crazy. They still have more support internationally with the biggest places being the U.S., Japan, India, and Turkey but have been growing in Korea now too. Their rise to fame is comparable to BTS but their music and theme is definitely not. Stray Kids is formed around their main producers called 3Racha which include the leader Bang Chan and 2 other members Changbin and Han. They have many rap bangers as just them and also have produced for many other artists. They have the most copy rights of their generation. The most unique part about them is that the leader had full control in who he wanted in his group and has full creative control (within reason) of their music. The 8 members names in age order is Bang Chan(25), Lee Know(24), Changbin(24), Hyunjin(23), Han(23), Felix(23), Seungmin(22), I.N(22). Bang Chan, Lee Know, and Seungmin have yet to have their birthdays this year. They are quite young and to compare them to BTS the youngest of BTS Jungkook is the same age as the SKZ(Stray Kids) oldest Bang Chan. Both Bang Chan and Felix are from Australia. Instead of continuing I think I should just recommend the updated 2023 guide and let you continue to explore them. Plus know that it is difficult to get caught up with them because they have like 200 songs between group, unit, and solo songs and are preparing to release more soon. Take your time and I can promise you will enjoy them. Welcome to Stayville! STAY will have your back on everything kpop related, not just Stray Kids, as we are happy to help in any way we can. May you live wonderfully and be blessed into your next life! 감사합니다! (Thank you!)

Straykids is the best 👌 ❤

Kpop divides its group/artist into generations due to their debut date. BTS (2013) are the leaders of the 3rd generation, while SKZ (2018) is the leader of the 4th generation. They are both known for producing their own music, which is rare in kpop. But their musical styles are totally different. And despite the competitiveness of the industry, idols tend to respect and get along with each other. Bang Chan, leader of Stray Kids, and Jongkook, the youngest of BTS, are friends. Please, react to more Stray Kids

Stray Kids are KINGS❤

Great you enjoyed Stray Kids. I wouldn't call them a "rock and roll" version of BTS because they are just different. They have more vocally driven songs and ballads as well as what they are known for, high energy, "noise" music. They've stayed true to their colours even when it wasn't getting them recognition but all that changed with Gods Menu and their star has just risen higher and higher.

bts - leaders of 3rd gen skz - leaders of 4th gen both incredibly amazing groups, also only from a few ARTISTS and KPOP GROUPS that are self made. Stray kids are soooo popular, they sold out all dome tours in 2-3 minutes, and thats insane. Their album had 5.3 milion preorders and they have best leader along RM, his name is BangChan (or Chan for short), they have best dancers along JHope and Jimin, they have Lee know that used to be BTS' back dancer, Hyunjin and Felix, but overall, whole group is dancers materials and any member could be main dancer in other groups. Best rappers, Changbin and Han and truly lovely vocalist, Seungmin and I.N. The key in Stray Kids is that EVERY SINGLE MEMBER does everything above avarage. Especally Han, Han is known for ACE of whole kpop beacuse he is youngest kpop idol to own SO MUCH CREDIT for writing, best rapper and his vocals?? He hits woman notes without a problem, and his dance and stage pressence? He is truly cheat point. Overall, if u get into Stray Kids, there is no way out!! All members take alot care of fans, not like 'thank you guys for award', they literally would make whole damn letter for that, they are polite and well mannered, so i think everyone can like them if you gave them a chance !! 💖

Yes that is Felix’s voice lol He looks like:🌸✨💖 But sounds like:🥀😈🖤

STRAY KIDS is the 2nd most popular K-Pop boy group out there. They've written and produced 99% of their discography by themselves. You should react to a STRAY KIDS guide to know more about them, I guess. Cuz there's so much to say.

Let's go Stray Kids. Love your reaction ❤. Stray Kids are FIREEEEEEE. More Stray Kids please 🔥🔥🔥🔥

My self produced Kings dabble in all genres, I never get bored listening to Stray Kids. They're immensely talented, their talent is only exceeded by their kindness. I'm so proud of them ❤ please continue to make reactions to Stray Kids; I recommend Venom, Maniac, Thunderous, 3RACHA, Muddy Water, S-Class

Stray kids are pretty big, and in my opinion probably almost as pupular as bts, they recently won a vma and they will most likely become just as well known as bts or even more but we'll have to wait and see

Stray kids arent as big as bts and bp, but they are up there, aspecially in usa, they are really big too, they are called 4th gen leaders for a reason

Recommendations for mv's: Freez, God's menu, Venom, Topline(new), Cheese, S-class(new), fnf(new) and there is sooo much more but this is a start. Early mv's are: Districts 9, levanter, MIRHO, Victory song. Japanese songs: The sound, Social Path (new), Super Bowl (new). Hope you enjoy this. Skz has a blended sound and are not stuck in just one thing. If you want mv's that's more vocal heavy, just say the word. Side note. There is no mv for these but still a recommendation: Hall of fame, ITEM, TASTE, 3RACHA, Hayday. Muddy waters.

You asked for it so here you go - signed under jyp, There are 8 Members, divided into 3 units (but are not limited to it) Producing unit - 3racha (sounds like the hot sauce 🔥) Chan - (the oldest) aka BEST LEADER, hand picked the members, main producer, vocalist, rapper. Changbin - main rapper, main lyricist, producer, vocalist. Han - main rapper (also does freestyle), main lyricist, producer, will blow your mind when he sings. 3racha was the beginning of it all, they have released songs before forming skz and they are credited with around 200 songs. Dance unit - Danceracha Lee know (Lee Minho, second oldest) - dance leader, choreographer, recently became main vocal thanks to his hard work 🌟 Hyunjin - another amazing dancer but with a different style, lyricist and rapper. Felix (Lee yongbok) - deep voice, main dancer, rapper. Vocal unit - vocalracha (2 youngests members) Seungmin - main vocal (also possibly the fastest rapper of all times) I.N (yang jeongin) - main vocal (the baby of the group/ maknae on top) The discography is huge, probably the biggest in Korea and it mixes a lot of genres, skz require a deep dive. Welcome to stray kids and the most supportive fandom - STAY❤

Stray Kids is a very diverse group, they have a huge discography they have rap heavy songs, edm, ballad mixtures of genres. You'll definitely find something you'll like. They create their own music which is very impressive, all members can sing, rap and dance. To answer your question Stray Kids is the leader of 4th gen boy groups right now based on data on sales and no. of streams on different streaming platforms and records they broke, they just won their 1st VMA for Best Kpop. In terms on their relationship with BTS one of the member is a former back-up dancer of BTS and even went on some tours with them. Stray Kids respect BTS(3rd gen group) a lot. Contrary to what others think they are not trying to become the next BTS, in my opinion they are trying to maintain the legacy that the kpop artist before them had made and making sure that Kpop is not just some viral thing that people would forget after its popularity subsides and by doing so they are making their own marks themselves. I think that's what 4th gen groups are doing in general. You can't go wrong with Stray Kids cause the amount of songs they have made is so many that if you tell us what genre you usually listen to we might find you a song that would probably fit in. Right now I think they have about 150+ songs out there not really sure but it is a lot and I haven't even listen to them all. I hope you continue listening to them and discover how talented they are. 😁

Theyre the next big thing, thats what hey are! Fun fact, former member Lee Know was a backup dancer for BTS and they actually recognized him in one of their performsnces .

So, Stray Kids and BTS are different Kpop generations. BTS are gen 3 and Stray Kids are gen 4. Both bands are the leaders of their respective generations. Stray Kids is the most listened Kpop band on Spotify. They have a member that used to be a backup dancer for BTS (Lee Know is his name). Stray Kids debuted on the 25th of March 2018 under JYP Entertainment as an 9 member unit, but one member left in 2019 for undisclosed reasons. Stray Kids were formed in a survival show by JYP. And Bang Chan who is the leader picked the members himself. Now they are 8 and the band has 3 subunits: 3Racha- the rap unit and the producers of all of their songs. They write and make and produce all their songs (Bang Chan- he is also the leader of the group. Born in 1997, Cahngbin-1999 and Han-2000) Danceracha- the dace team who are also responsible of the choreographies (Lee Know-1998 he was the backup dancer of BTS and he is also the main dancer of Stray Kids, Hyunjin-2000 and Felix-2000 he is the one with the deep voice) Vocalracha- the vocal unit (Seungmin-2000 and I.N.- 2001) The member that left was Woojin-1997 and he was a part of Vocalracha. Bang Chan and Felix are Australians. Bang Chan was born in South Korea but moved to Australia when he was really small, but came back after he got in JYP when he was 13 years old. Felix was born in Australia and moved to South Korea when he was 17 after getting in JYP as a trainee. He knew only basic Korean so he had a tough time learning it, but now, after 6 years he is fully fluent.

Thank you for the reaction! BTS is a 3rd gen group and Stray Kids are a 4th gen group. And Stray Kids are fans of BTS and look up to them as their seniors. Right now Stray Kids are setting records with their new album 5 Star and winning as Best KPop group at the VMAs. They have a huge international fan base and growing. They are self produced and write most of their own music. I would definitely recommend watching the God’s Menu MV. Looking forward to more Stray Kids reactions.

STRAY KIDS GOD’S MENU!!! Also S-Class! Yes, that’s Felix real Voice, yes, they are huge

Just a strong tip. Each kpop group has their own unique features and songs. Comparing groups starts fandom wars and i dont think you want that on ur channel. Plus each groups start is different, bts start was different than stray kids start. Many kpop groups have friends among other groups as well. I know there are a few members of stray kids that are friends with BTS members. The one with red short hair is their leader bangchan- fun fact he is from australia The low voice is felix he is also from australia and yes thats his real voice. He has an incredible vocal range. He can go really high and really low Another tip is dont try to recognize kpop idols from hair color cuz their hair colors change every video to go with the concept of the albums and whats going on in the music video.

Thank you for the Stray Kids reaction! Stray Kids debuted in 2018. They are a self produced group with a producing subunit called 3racha. BTS is 3rd gen and older so def still bigger than Stray Kids. Stray Kids have been breaking a lot of records so they are def the top 3 bigger kpop groups now. They are def worth checking out! Def would like to see more reactions!

While stray kids and BTS are completely different groups with different vibes, there are some similarities - like the strong rap line - but Stray kids are 5 years newer. Stray kids very much respect their seniors in the industry, and I think it is mutual. They are one of the few groups I’ve seen cover a BTS song and do it justice. They are more EDM/trap based and have their own style. I’d advise checking out God’s menu, thunderous and maniac next.

@4:33 on your video, you're asking about the blond guy's voice. "Is that what his voice really sounds like?" That's Felix. He's got what's currently considered to be the deepest voice in K-pop (in this video, you're not even hearing his SUPER deep voice.) What's cool about Felix's voice is that he can sing deep bass, mid-range for ballads and high falsetto. And then when he raps, he has a deep, growly, raspy voice that's very distinct. BTW, Felix and another member, Bang Chan (the leader of the group) are both from Australia, so English is their first language. They, like the other members, are also fluent in Korean and Japanese, and depending on the song, Stray Kids can sing / rap in one or more of those languages. Lastly.....to hear an example of Felix's SUPER deep voice, watch their M/V for "Victory Song". It's an older one, so you'll see 9 members in the video. Felix hits his really deep notes at the 0.51 mark on the video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fy3zu0WsTLM.html

STRAY KIDS BEST GROUP OF KPOP FELIX POWERFULL VOICE💯👑💛🔥❤💙🌞

I liked your reaction 😁 yes Felix's voice is really that deep but he can also have a high voice while talking or being goofy. Face of an angel and voice of a demon. He is usually what draws people in because of his insane voice but all of the members are just amazing. They do a large variety of music styles. You cant go wrong picking a random song because they are all fun to watch and listen to and have good lyrics. My favorite song is Maniac. Also they just recently won at the VMAs with their song S-Class, definitely worth checking out!

Yea, thats Felix and that is his real voice. BTS members are friends with Stray Kids members. Stray kids basically make friends with everyone 😅 skz is 2nd largest selling kpop boy group internationally, 2nd to BTS rn

Stray Kids are🔥🔥🔥🔥and are known to have their own genre of music because of how dynamic and unique their range of sound is. Their discography ranges from rock to pop to hip hop to beautiful ballads and more, all while putting their own twist to the each genres sound. They also write, compose, and produce 99.8% of their music. They all sing, dance, and rap, and almost all of them play at least one instrument. They are iconic for the duality of their personalities. They can go from being intense, macho, and slick to playful, hilarious, and chaotic. Definitely give off family vibes -so wholesome! ☺️ Anyway, other songs to check out from them are GODS MENU (chronologically comes before BACK DOOR), VENOM, FREEZE, THOUNDEROUS, ITEM, and S-CLASS (title track the just won a VMA) I would also strongly recommend breaking down the lyrics because it not only gives context to the music video, but also because Stray Kids are phenomenal lyricists! Their songs always have layers of meaning that talk about deep, relatable topics such as mental health, finding ones self, self acceptance, overcoming life’s challenges, forging your own path, and not going along with social norms just because it’s what’s everyone is doing. They also have such a unique play on words I personally haven’t seen anywhere else. You can enjoy their music as a casual listener because let’s admit it, the music alone is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 But there is so much depth to their music that some people miss. It’s all up to you how deep you want to dive to break it all down. Either way, I hope you enjoy this incredible journey. I promise it’s one you won’t regret!

I recommend listening to Topline by stray kids, maybe it's not a song people recommend often to new fans but it's from their most recent album and it's one of my favorites. If you want more main stream ones, gods menu, S class or thunderous are really good ones

Yeah, their music and vibe are way different than BTS. 😂 Stray kids are one of the biggest K-pop groups. Their fandom is competitive in size and enthusiasm to BTS’s and Blackpink’s and they are breaking a lot of records in the past year. They are the leaders of 4th generation K-pop and are only 5 1/2 years old. Just won their first VMA for Best K-pop last week. Best selling k-pop album in the U.S. (and it’s the 4th most sold overall there this year). 2nd best-selling K-pop album worldwide this year. They are definitely a group to watch. Plus, their music is straight fire 🔥🔥🔥 completely different from most K-pop. Hope you’ll check out more of their work.

That bass line though 😍 one of my favorite skz songs (and it's HARD to choose). This is a rabbit hole you would not regret going down

Once u get to know stray kids u can never stop. Please, more stray kids reaction!

Ha jokes on you they actually do almost any genre of music their discography is so diverse they have something for everyone 😁 definitely should checkout venom or tortoise and the hare by stray kids 🔥🔥👌🏽

Oh also,they have 2 other subunits: Danceracha...the 3main dancers (but again,ALL dance ) and Vocalracha the 2 main singers...yet AGAIN they ALL sing,lol...needless to say all 8 of them are a complete package.😂

You got a new subscriber. Yes that's his voice. His name is Felix. Check out their song God's Menu

You just had “The Felix Experience”, blonde with the deep voice is Lee, Felix (Yongbok).

3:43 they aren't unpopular but groups like txt are more popular in korea, because in Korea noisy music is not much appreciated, but they're wayyy more popular around the world maybe even one of the top10 or top5 most popular boy groups

They just won for best K-pop at the MTV VMAs last week. And they performed there for the first time. They have done 2 world tours and closed their Maniac tour earlier this year with a 2 Day show at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. They have a large international fan base and their most recent album 5 Star presold over 4 million copies and debuted June 2023 at #1 on Billboard top 200 album charts. It was their 3rd # 1 album since Spring 2022. Their debut was in 2018.

00:40 Hyunjin Main dancer and rapper, 00:45 Felix (Aussie) main dancer, raps, sings 00:45 Han main rapper, called Ace of Aces as he is very good at vocals as well. 01:06 Seungmin main vocals (but can rap) 01:14 Bang Chan (Aussie 2, Chris) Leader, Rapper and Vocal 02:20 Lee Know main dancer (can rap and sing) 2:38 Changbin Main rapper, vocal (on top 10 rapper list for Korean rappers) 03:04 I.N, main vocals (but can rap) Back door actually follows on Gods Menu, so please check that out. also check out Topline and S-Class and Thunderous. They have so many good songs, so certain the fandom will guide you. Stray Kids fandom is "STAY's" Fun fact: Stray Kids writes and produces their own songs. Most of the songs is written by 3Racha, a sub division group of Stray Kids, however they all rap sing and dance. Leader Bang Chan hand picked the members himself 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻 also if you listen to a majority of their tracks, they have a lot of hard, EDM type of sound. BTS has also been in the industry 10 years where Stray Kids have only debut in 2018 (5 years ago), Stray Kids is at the TOP of the 4-Gen groups so a few differences. Stray Kids stand out due to their unique sound and creativeness. Its a much harder sound than your usual k-pop music. ALSO Stray Kids Make History As The Only K-pop Group To Record Over 5.1 Million Pre-Ordered Albums, but each group has different wins and goals and both from different generations so to compare is not easy :)

1:38 best part! "E-I-E-I-O"😊❤

Welcome to Stray Kids! They are a self producing group. The three members who are the main producers are called 3racha. They consist of the leader Bang Chan (who also handpicked all the members by the way, something never done before), Changbin and Han. There is also danceracha consisting of Lee Know (who was a backup dancer for BTS for a time), Hyunjin and Mr. Deep voice Felix (yes that is his real voice and he is often what shocks first time listeners. We call it the Felix effect lol). Vocalracha consists of the two youngest members Seungmin and I.N (pronounced like the letters). They debuted March 25th, 2018 as a nine member group however in Oct 2019 one member left for personal reasons. You will see him in older videos. Stray kids have their own sound and love to play with genres of music. You may hear a summer beach rock song followed by a rap heavy song. Their fans are called Stay and they adore us. Stray Kids strive not to wrote typical love songs and instead tackle topics like depression and fighting to earn your place as well as believing in yourself. They also have a few diss tracks. God's Menu which came out in 2020 really started their meteoric rise and was called noise music by anti fans. In response the guys put out a song called Thunderous. When people attack them personally, they responded with the song Cheese. They are truly funny guys, often at complete odds with their stage presence which is fierce. They are a very close brotherhood and are extremely supportive of each other and their fans. They truly are the total package. They also just won the VMA for best kpop and preformed, blowing everyone away. I hope you dive deep and enjoy the ride.

Thank you for your reaction. Stray Kids are amazing! Please more Stray Kids, Watch ... S-class, topline, freeze, Super bowl, thunderous, Item, Venom, God's Menu, Easy

IT IS HIS VOICE, his name is FELIX React more to them and u will be shocked

Honestly you’d be better watching a guide to them as there’s 8 members, 3 sub units and a whole lot of info. Like a comment stated you should never compare groups as it can start a riot in the comments. I will say they are the 4th Gen leaders who are big fans of BTS and give the dues and respect that BTS deserve.

Stray Kids originally debuted with 9 members, so in early videos and performances, you'll see 9. Woojin left in Oct 2019, and SKZ have been an 8 member group ever since. Something that's important to know about Stray Kids .....they write and produce their own music, and have since even before they debuted (when most of them were still teenagers - the youngest was 16 at the time).

4:46 bro you don't even know!! if u wanna be REALLY shocked listen to God's menu. (their most popular MV)

BTS and Stray Kids are completely different, yes of course they have that similarity of having many members (BTS are 7 and SKZ are 8) they also have a strong rap line, which I personally think are the best in kpop but in terms of musical genre is different. BTS debuted with a genre of hip-hop and clearly they were mutating over the years and now they are definitely more pop although hip-hop is still present in their b-sides, as for SKZ they are pioneers in a genre called malataste (I will leave definition below). SKZ use a lot of trap, electronic and other genres, as some antis say, they make noisy music and are very diverse when it comes to making music. Both groups are producers and composers of their songs, there is also the thing that both groups are different ages, BTS made their debut in 2013 and Stray Kids debuted in 2018 so there you can see the difference in generations. Anyway there is no point of comparison in any of the groups because they definitely make different types of music and bet on different genres as well so I really recommend you continue discovering more about Stray Kids. MALATASTE: “malatang/mala taste/mala” The term malatang is a Chinese soup dish that is said to be addictive the more you eat it. When SKZ's God's Menu came out it was compared to that brand, which is an addictive song, but also because of the unique themes and lyrics, whose malatang is also a very special dish.

Thank u for the reaction! One of the skz members was a bts backup dancer and Leader skz Bangchan is friends with Jungkook from BTS If you want to know more about skz watch ar guides on youtube about them..

you are correct at pointing out the rock n roll vibes of stray kids.. kpop are mostly pop n hip-hop, but stray kids are more rock punk/hip hop/edm.. for me they are like the linkin park of kpop.. you need to listen more to their discography to understand what i mean though

Lee Know (the one in the red/black half jacket) behind Felix (the deep voiced blond) was a backup dancer for BTS until he left for JYP where Chan (the red head & SKZ leader) picked him for Stray Kids. We almost didn’t have Lee Know or Felix, cause JYP eliminated them on the SKZ realty contest, but brought them back in the end.

Stray Kids ❤

I think yes bts and stray kids are friends and Lee Know the main dancer of skz used to be a backup dancer for bts

Felix’s deep ass voice is REAL! Songs that are gonna blow your mind: God’s Menu Maniac Thunderous Venom S-Class Topline Freeze

Their videos have subtitles unless its a Japanese track...not sure if you knew or not. Anyways these guys amazing. They are an 8 member group and Im pretty positive you are going to love them. But a guide is really the only way you are going to learn them. Deep voice guy is Felix and he's actually from Australia and yes that's his real voice. Their fandom name is STAY...and I feel as a STAY I have to suggest their MVs for the songs 'Gods Menu and 'Top Line'...their videos are usually pretty crazy and people love them!

thanks for reaction! Please be careful when comparing kpop groups. some fandoms have very tense relationships and you can unintentially provoke a fan war in your comments. if you are not deep into the topic, it might be difficult to judge what can trigger people. Answering your questions, on an international level (summarizing all countries together) BTS is a boy group with the biggest fandom, Stray Kids (= SKZ) is the boy group with the second biggest fandom. however their achievements is hard to compare directly: BTS was huge in the west, already accepting billboard music awards, when Stray Kids debuted in 2018. Moreover, Stray Kids started to gain popularity only in 2020 after releasing "god's menu". For reference: the youngest BTS member is the same age as the oldest SKZ member. Regarding the sound, both groups have amazing rap lines and relatively good vocal lines. BTS went from more rap-oriented songs to more pop songs over the years, while SKZ remain very rap-heavy. Both have diverse discographies, but SKZ stay more consistent with their title tracks.

Thank you for reacting to Stray Kids! They're an 8-member SELF PRODUCING group and It's arguably that they are the K-pop leaders of 4th generation. They're known for their experimental hype beats but they have a wide range of genres in their discography. Highly recommend watching God's Menu, Venom, Easy, Freeze, S Class.

Stray kids💜💜

Yeees stray kids we love you

also straykids are one of the most popular kpop groups

its better not to compare them because stray kids are younger than bts by 5 years, but if we compare popularity stray kids are the biggest k-pop boy group after bts

Make sure you have the Subtitles on, so that you'll know what the song is about. You REALLY should check out their other mv's, starting with God's Menu, Thunderous, Easy, Venom, Freeze, Maniac, Christmas EveL and Topline. And their Sub-unit 3RACHA (Bang Chan, Changbin and Han) who are also writers and producers of much of their content and songs. Check out their songs (no mv's) "HeyDay", their name sake song "3RACHA".

Thunderous, Gods menu and live I'll be your man and One take japanese version Slump...

Stray kids are the best…..!

They are BIG.

Yesss! Stray kids everywhere all around the world ❤

i also recommended their new Social path, because it is different song, more rock, they are unique, Stray Kids is not only rap, or pop or hiphop or rock they are everything. They also make their own songs and everyone in that group sing,, dance and rap, so yeah, they are multitalented 8 young man. Thank You for your reaction. I recommended God's Menu, Social Path, Thunderous, Maniac and their ballad also like Slump. There is so many good songs, Miroh is also one where you can hear Felix low voice and yes it is his own voice.

Im here to stay ❤❤

Thanks for reacting to this amazing group! I just want to make an introduction to them as best I can, it will be long and you might not see this, but I'll try. 0:20 is Lee Know, he is a very talented dancer, he used to be a backup dancer for BTS, he also is a part of a sub-unit, danceracha. 0:38 is Hyunjin, he is also a very good dancer, he was selected as studio choom's artist of the month in october of 2021, he is also a part of danceracha. 0:45 is Felix, his voice is real and very deep, he is a really good dancer and is a part if danceracha. 0:46 is Han Jisung, or Han, he is a ace, he is great at vocals, dance, producing, but mainly known for rap. He is part of a sub-unit 3RACHA. 1:05 is Seungmin, he is a really good vocalist with a really good, recognizable voice and can surprisingly rap. He is part of the sub-unit vocalracha. 1:13 is Bangchan, he is the leader and main producer, he also raps. He trained for 7 years. He made the group himself and produces most the songs, he is part of 3RACHA. 2:37 is Changbin, he is a great rapper, he is the fastest 4th gen rapper, he also produces. He is part of 3RACHA. 3:03 is I.N or Jeongin, he is the maknae/youngest, he is a really good vocalist with a nice voice, he is part of vocalracha. They are an amazing group, their songs and choreos are really cool. They debuted in 2018, making them 4th gen, and all the members were picked by Bangchan himself and all the songs are produced by the members. They are all very talented and I recommend listening to other songs by them, I would recommend Maniac, but any are really good. They always have really cool stages, and their personalities are very fun. Before debut, they went on a show called Stray Kids, in the end all of them debuted, even though Lee Know and Felix were eliminated. Compared to BTS, first of all, BTS is 3rd gen and Stray Kids are 4th gen, making it hard to compare. They both have different styles of music, and in terms of popularity, BTS is defiantly more popular, but Stray Kids are still very popular. It's not the best to compare K-pop groups though. Both are very talented. Sorry about this long explanation, if you made it here, thank you. It's not very detailed, but still very long and I hope it helps if you did read it all. Thanks!

Thank you for reacting to Stray Kids, I loved your reaction and how you loved their music and video. I’m not asking you to react to all of these, I just wanted to give some suggestions that you may consider doing throughout time by Stray Kids. I know this is a really long list but like I said, it’s to think about throughout time. So pick and choose however you feel. I’m not expecting anything but I will will be looking forward to seeing your reactions.

BTS came before SKZ (aka Stray Kids) so they had a head start. BTS is doing their rotations through mandatory military service so as a group they are not active currently but the members are working on their solo projects in the meantime. SKZ are becoming comparable in popularity since SKZ was finally on a big show (VMAs) in the USA. SKZ/BTS are fans and friends of each other. There are 8 members in SKZ and they can all rap, dance, and sing. There used to be positions before everyone became versatile in every aspect. Bang Chan (Leader - part of the writing team 3racha ) Lee Know (dancer in danceracha) Changbin (A Rapper - part of the writing team 3racha) Hyunjin (dancer in danceracha) Han (A Rapper - part of the writing team 3racha) Felix (deep voice - dancer in danceracha) Seungmin (vocalist in the vocalracha) I.N. (vocalist in the vocalracha) I don't want to overwhelm you with information so I'll just ask that you check out their pre-debut and debut song first. You know, to see where it all started. Pre-debut song: Hellevator & debut song: District 9

I'm not trying to be mean whatsoever but please don't compare groups with each other, there is so many diffrent styles in kpop so comparing doesn't rlly work also most kpop fans is tried from hearing bts in all kpop groups interview's and non kpop fans thinking that bts is the only group out there But I understand that it's something you can do as a mistake in the beginning, but as I said pls dont do it again

Skz are my 1️⃣❤🎉❤

STRAYKIDS I LOVE YOUUU❤

Jungkook(bts)and bangchan(skz) are friends!

8 very talented young men. They have been doing this since they were 16 to 20. 6 years later they are still just 22 to nearly 26 and over 170 songs strong (released) but we all know they have many more than that. BANG CHAN (CHRIS) Australian, leader and genius will be 26 in October. He has over 150 songs registered with KOMCHA, and is ranked 1st for 4th gen and 9th overall. He left Australia and his family when he was just 13 to pursue his dream, that is half a lifetime ago for him. LEE KNOW born in Korea was born to dance. Has been dancing since very young. Was in a dance crew for 6 years, competed at the World of Dance in 2016, back up dancer for BTS. Completed the basic dance course at JYP in a record 2 weeks. National Geographic super star. 😅 He is just 25 in October. CHANGBIN, a rapping giant. Korean. Was the fastest 4th gen rapper until recently at 9.75 syllables per second with his collab Mirror Mirror with Millie and F HERO. Singing voice of an angel. His vocal coach suggested he try out rapping due to his vocal tone and a genius was created. Flow switches, cadences.... unbelievable. He has over 135 songs registered with KOMCHA, which puts him right behind Channie. He just turned 24 in August. HAN. Born in Korea but grew up in Malaysia. He is the ACE of K-pop. He doesn't just RAP, SING, DANCE WRITE and PRODUCE, he excels at it all. Very funny, empathetic and a genius. He is not far behind Binnie at 9.13 syllables per second but man, what he can do is simply amazing. He also has just over 130 songs with KOMCHA making him 3rd behind the other 2. He will be 23 in 9 days time. CHAN, CHANGBIN and HAN are the producing team. They are known as 3RACHA. They have songs in their own right as 3RACHA away from Stray Kids. They were the foundation of the group. HYUNJIN born in Korea. He was street casted by a scout whilst shopping with his mother just for the way he looked. He had no skills at the time. He has grown into a monster performer. I love his style of RAP. His singing is developing beautifully and he is the 1st prince of K-pop for visuals and dance. He moves like water, fluidly. He is also a LLAMA, drama llama, but we love him for it 😅 He just turned 23 in March. FELIX, Australian, always loved to dance. Moved to Korea by himself when he was 17 without knowing Korean. He is the deep voice and our Sunshine. He is regularly found rapping on the tracks but lately has more singing parts. His range goes from low to high and is known for beat boxing and being the most non-annoying mosquito. 😅 He turns 23 the day after HAN. We call them our sunshine twins. SEUNGMIN, Korean. Has the most unique vocal tone. Very serious/diligent artist, always strives for improvement and just when you think he's the best he can be he surprises us again. Has several OSTs for K DRAMAS and is my favourite singer in the group. He also turns 23 this month. I.N. (YANG JEONG-IN) Korean. The MAKNAE (Youngest) of the group. Funnily enough probably the most mature, lol. He also has a unique vocal tone, very expressive with stage presence, can eat a whole ass pizza slice in one bite, 😅 Loves TROT music and is simply adorable. He turned 22 in February. All the members can sing, dance, RAP and write songs. Along with 3RACHA some members are also learning production skills. That is my intro to my boys. For further details I suggest you watch TEANOSUGAR 2023. It's long but STAYS will sit through it with you. We LOVE watching a new STAY being born and we are very proud of our boys. ❤

Just a few timestamps with the name of the members: 0:56 Hyunjin 1:05 Seungmin 1:14 Bangchan 2:17 Lee know 2:46 Han 3:04 I.N. 3:21 Changbin 4:26 Felix

I would like to comment some things about them and I hope it's understood bc i don't speak eng. Chan 4:17 (the leader) had been a trainee for 7 years, and he was more than ready to make his debut, so he company left it up to him to choose his members, basically letting him create his own group,and make their own music as well (along side with another two members, the three of them called 3RACHA). There is a video that is part of some content about SKZ in which the youngest member (I.N) 3:04 thanks Chan for choosing him to be part of the group. Their company is basically the 'girl groups house', and more pop music-oriented. And although SKZ are part of the kpop industry, they are more of a hip hop group. Simply put, they were an 'experiment' by they company bc they wanted to try to 'renew' themselves making another group without the usual method. They decided to attract attention with a group like them. And SKZ doing almost everything regarding the music, it's not like the agency had to invest much in them in this aspect. Adding that at first it's not like they left a lot of money on their videos or on the group's promotions. All this changed just when the group began to become more popular. And many things makes sense bc of Chan. He took dance classes including ballet and modern dance in a school of performing Arts as a child, and already played some instruments. Also at this time he began to have an interest in composing music. Then 3RACHA exists before 'Stray kids', and everything just went from there. They have been behind the creative process of the group's music since their debut. When Chan was 13 years old was acepted to become a kpop trainee. And when he went to live to Korea he became friends with an older trainee who understood a lot about composing, and he started asking him for feedback every time he wrote something. Then when he met the members of 3RACHA they took the company's MIDI production classes for all trainees, just like they teach how to sing and dance. And meanwhile, one of them (Han) 2:46, apart from being a trainee, was in a music academy. Then Changbin 3:21 became interested in being an artist mainly because of how much he liked rap. But when he entered the company he began to train as vocalists, only for a teacher to tell him that 'his voice sounded like he could be good raper', so he decided to change and train as a raper. These three became interested in production and started creating their beats. So I think it was without the company knowing that they started sending some tracks in the community post of a Korean hip hop magazine. So random ppl could give them feedback. At first they didn't have very good opinions, but they humbly said that they would strive to improve and find their own 'color'.They even participated in an event along with other rappers (I don't know exactly more details about this) although they didn't win. but they work hard and after a while they started to get positive comments there and some praise. These guys worked a lot, and tried very hard to be different from many other groups.

Stray Kids and Bts are not the same, there is no comparison between the two. Bts has 11 years or 10 years of career... STRAY KIDS are younger, they have recently had a career of 5 years. Stray Kids writes the lyrics, the music, produces and arranges their songs, in addition to being involved in the ideas of their videos and also the choreography of their songs. Stray Kids created a musical genre called "MALA TASTE" that you can hear in absolutely all of their songs and Stray Kids belongs to JyP entertainment. And for me Stray Kids is much better. And Stray Kids is Big and the fandom "STAY" is too Big in the world.

Stray Kids just won the BEST K-Pop award at the VMA'S recently & performed their newest banger S-class on the main VMA stage & killed it. You should check it out. ❤😊

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND checking out 3Racha (which is a subunit...the RAP LINE ) of Stray Kids as well...EVERY member can rap & is good at it to a degree...but 3Racha are the main producers,rappers,& writers for Stray Kids.they are FREAKING FIRE!!!🔥as well as the LIVE MAMA performance of Victory Song from 2020...and MAMA 2022 live performance of Venom\Maniac.BOTH are PHENOMENAL STAGE SHOWS that will rock you!!🎶🔥✌

They have so many different genres of music that they do. They also write and produce most of their songs. There are so many songs you should check out from them.

Thank you for reacting to Stray Kids

Thank you so much for reacting to Stray Kids! They have so many unique and fun songs, I hope you're able to react to more of them!

-I think if you want to know who is who you should watch an actual respectable guide they deserve that. (A lot of reactors tend to do a short or somewhat silly guide when it comes to stray kids) SKZ works hard and are very talented and they’re very big in my opinion. Some good songs are “double knot” “levanter” “district 9” “slump Japanese version” “easy” “Wolfgang” “venom” “charmer” Five Star full album lol

Thank you for checking out stray Kids. The answer to your question is I don't think that any members are best buddies with BTS but both groups know of each other and have known to meet up by accident or and once Jimin shouted out to Felix (the deep voice guy) because of a video he was chatting to a fan secretly and she thought he was Felix from stray Kids. LOL it was very cute and Felix in turn responded to Jimin's shout out. Stray Kids has a lot of love and respect for BTS and all other Korean idols and groups. Stray Kids are the #1 most followed 4th generation boy group on Spotify. Their fan base is more international then in Korean but I feel that has changed a lot. The are a self produced group meaning they write and produce 99.9% of their songs and for the 1% they are still all hands in with help. 2 members are from Australia, the leader Bang Chan, who moved there at an early age and Felix who was born in Australia. All members can rap, dance and have amazing vocals despite their main rolls. Because they produce their own songs they love to experiment with genres, beats, melodies and unique sounds. Bang Chan trained for 7 years starting at the age 13 years old. He hand picked all his members before they went through an elimination reality tv show called Stray Kids. He named the group and the logo is in his own name. They are the only group that produces more music videos per album besides the the title track and all they always have mini movie concept trailers before each album release. They have both Korean and Japanese albums and single's. Their connection between members is a similar to BTS connection between their members, but would be the only similarity. Because Bang Chan trained so long he knows and is friends with a lot of other idols like Lisa from Black pink and to many to list. Stray Kids are good friends to Ateez members, BtoB, The Boyz, Treasure, Got 7, NCT, and so many more.

Felix is the dude with the deep ass voice. and yes, that's his real voice, lol. Stray Kids are amazing! They are self-produced, with a 3 member producing line called 3Racha. And they just performed at the VMAs and won. As for their relationship with BTS, they look up to BTS as their seniors. One of the members, Lee Know, used to be a BTS Backup dancer, and Bang Chan (SKZ's leader) is friends with Jungkook, so they all know each other. It is considered rude to compare groups, but I know its a natural tendency when you are just getting into kpop. One group's success doesn't detract from what another group has accomplished and so forth. S-Class, Topline, Maniac, Venom, Thunderous and of course God's Menu would be great next SKZ songs to check out.
