Yeah, you're NOT wrong, they're kinda flirty all the time, you'll see more of this side of them in SKZ Talkers and SKZ Codes. but honestly, that's just their dynamic
He’s clumsy when he’s not on stage, like during this one livestream he sneezed and hit his head on either a table or a guitar and they all fell over, then he hurt himself again like 10 mins later💀😭
Yes~ that recent I.N release was a cover🤗 SKZ-Player & SKZ-records are covers and/or original songs that they upload just on youtube. In 2022 they released a special album(SKZ-REPLAY) on music platforms with all the songs. I really recommend it, it really shows the personality/style of each member(in my opinion) since it's mostly solo songs or duos.
Super cute episode, this is such a fun trio. Thanks for the reaction! Having fun watching your SKZ journey. I want to answer some of your qs, so sorry in advance for a chunky comment 😂 1. Binne once said (in the original 2 kids room) than Hyunjin and IN both feel the need to take care of each other, and I think that sums them up super well. IN is very mature and maybe a little guarded, and Hyunjin is a bit chaotic and he and the others have said that he's sensitive and easily hurt, so they all want to look after him. 2. It's spoken about in the survival show, but at one point Hyunjin was getting up at like 5am, going to JYPE to dance by himself, going to school to dance more (SOPA is Seoul School of Performing Arts), going back to the company to dance more until like 2am, sleep and repeat (this was before and after debut, and at one point he was MCing music core(?) too). Hyunjin was really well known at JYPE and at school for being insanely hard working. He's spoken about his need to prove himself before, early on people ignored his hard work and talents and just focused on his looks, which he wanted to change (see Play with fire and AOTM). He is also naturally very competitive, so he continues to work really hard (as they all do). 3. Yess I like to say Innie's style is like grandpa chic with a side of weird shoes haha. Hyunjin's style is normally super comfy, like baggy jeans, sweats, hoodies etc with perhaps a statement piece, but he likes high end fashion when he dresses up. I don't know how much he intentionally dresses androgynous, but I think it does really suit him. 4. SKZ didn't quite come into popularity (esp. in Korea) until at least Gods Menu, which was 2020. They debuted in 2018, so that gap is probably what they meant about their music not doing so well. 5. Hyunjin's music is pretty sad boy haha, but often in kind of a toxic way? Him and Chan seem to work together a lot and have talked about connecting via heavier, sexy/mature music. Hyunjin's lyrics are very poetic and uses lots of imagery too, check out songs like DLMLU, Red Lights and Cover Me. The lyrics of Untitled is very on brand for him 😅 Hyunjin and Han are our sad boys music-wise haha. 6. Yeaah the flirting is very SKZ. Without taking anything too seriously, the running joke is that they're 'stray kids not straight kids' 😂Binnie, lino and hannie are very flirty and direct, hyunjin is regular victim for sure. Hyunjin finds innie and seungmin very adorable and rarely keeps his hands to himself. But honestly, all of the members are very comfy and flirty with each other, there's tons of compilations out there. Katya Strom makes top tier videos if you want to see SKZ goofing around.
14:21 as they themselves have said before "It's Stray Kids, not Straight Kids" flirting is pretty common between all of them😂 (Stray is a kind of hard word for Koreans to pronounce so there have been times before - in the news for example - where they were called Straight Kids by mistake)
SKZ-RECORD and SKZ-PLAYER are their personal projects (not associated with any albums or official releases) and you can only find them on their TH-cam channel! You definitely need to do a deep dive!
2:46 SOPA is the high school they both went to, so they’re the SOPAz (kinda like how the members born in 2000 r the 2000z) 9:02 yes this was during trainee days, that’s actually why he went to sopa, bc it’s a school idols typically go to bc they’re lenient with colored hair and stuff bc it’s the school for performing arts
About the 7 year curse: Skz's contract renewal is in 2025 since they debuted 2018, and that's the year the members start enlisment too (Lee know first), but Bang Chan and Felix don't have to go so there's that at least hahah, they've said they want to stay together for a long time and "be the longest running boygroup", even if they depart from Jype I'm sure they'll stay together, their 2024 will probably be packed because of that reason too. Skz-records (audio only) and skz-players (music video) are usually unit/solo songs the members release out of official albums/comebacks, they're only on youtube but last year they released some of them on other streaming sites as the album Skz replay with new solo songs for each member
The thing about Lee Know, and what contributes to him being a good MC, is that he's really good at reading the room. He can adjust how he interacts with others depending on their personalities. While also keeping his own cheeky personality. You'll see that as you go through more content, SKZ Code etc, like who he can tease relentlessly, or who he is extra soft with.
30:30 straykids said they wanted to be the longest going kpop group, so don't worry about that. Though in 2025 their military service will start with lee know, chan and felix will never go cause they are aussie but the other members will
Fun fact: The friend I.N mentioned that went together with him to Hyunjin's house was Beomgyu from TXT
Yeah, you're NOT wrong, they're kinda flirty all the time, you'll see more of this side of them in SKZ Talkers and SKZ Codes. but honestly, that's just their dynamic
We don’t have to worry about their contract renewal because in the interview they said that they wanted to be the longest group in the world
He’s clumsy when he’s not on stage, like during this one livestream he sneezed and hit his head on either a table or a guitar and they all fell over, then he hurt himself again like 10 mins later💀😭
🤣🤣 my first thought was Hyunjin doing his sword dance in SKZ Code #2, looking cool for a second and then flailing with plastic swords flying!
Lee know was serious when he said he was easy on them😅 just got it from changbin and Felix episode with Lee know mcing
I can't wait for sir Austin reacting to their albums and get to know what Han, changbin and bang Chan write together and individually

Innie grandpa chic with a side of weird shoes!!! 😂 YES

36:56 that’s they’re like self produced unofficially released songs, usually duos or solos
26:54 skz record is songs that the members have done but aren't in any album or on spotify, though some came out in skz-replay album

Please react to Hyunjin solo songs!! and i think it would be great to see your reaction to 2 kids room.
30:30 straykids said they wanted to be the longest going kpop group, so don't worry about that. Though in 2025 their military service will start with lee know, chan and felix will never go cause they are aussie but the other members will
Oh yayy I can't wait for your skz code reactions!! Loved this reaction~
Please also react to the other two remaining 2kidsshow🙏🙏
26:29 from what I know straykids used to be jyp's flops until gods menu became viral
Yes, SKZ wasn't doing very well meant prior God's Menu. Wasn't charting. There were fans but general public don't really know them that much? 😔
