Fun fact: Bang chan (the leader) and Felix (deep voice) are actually from Australia! Also what makes Stray Kids stand out compared to other groups is that they are the ones actually producing everything. Bangchan, Changbin, and Han are the producing line💚🤗🍀 thank you so much for this reaction BP!
@@Dashominnot as much as Stray Kids (98% of their dicography is composed and witten by Skzmebers/3RACHA), Skz is the group who produce the most, you can see that with their KOMKA credit, in a few years they are already catching up 3th gen groups. But yeah I know GIdle and BTS also produce but in reality it's a small pourcentage of the kpop groups who are producing their songs.
Yup, these guys are megatalented. Their word play in their lyrics is next level. They love playing with English and Korean together. This song is like an anthem, imo. Maybe even a war cry. They are the outliers in k-pop, doing different things, playing with different genres, writing and producing all their own music. I think they are musical geniuses.
The guy at the end is another Korean rapper by the name of Tablo. He is one of the three members of the hip hop group Epik High. I believe that the crossword he does at the end where it says “Next X” and he writes his name is a hint at a possible collaboration between him and Stray Kids. Epik High is another amazing group! I suggest that you check them out as well.
They are the highest-ranking K-Pop act in all the charts they have entered this year: (ARTIST) #StrayKids #1, World Albums Artists of 2023 #2, Top Album Sales Artists of 2023 #10, Billboard 200 Duo/Group of 2023 #64, Billboard 200 Artists of 2023 (ALBUM) ★★★★★ #5_STAR #1, World Albums of 2023 #4, Top Current Album Sales of 2023 #4, Top Album Sales of 2023 #82, Billboard 200 Albums of 2023 (ALBUM) #MAXIDENT (2nd year on chart) #15, World Albums of 2023 #24, Top Current Album Sales of 2023 #47, Top Album Sales of 2023
You were correct, they used ALL of the Mega words you mentioned. I LOVE the theme of this MV. The security guard was disrespecting them by DOODLING all over them in the newspaper. This angered SKZ and caused them to break the 4th wall and arrive in their hellevator to right the wrong. CHANS sweater is covered in DOODLES. The boys morphing into each other stamps we are one. One for all, all for one. Mess with one, you mess with us all. I also love the fact that it is the music that blasts him through the wall and the floor. SKZ replied to their haters the best way they can, their music. If you notice no matter where the guard tried to escape to..... through exit doors, he couldn't get away. That is because there is NO EXIT, once you are in, you are here to STAY. So welcome to the Stray Kids Hot Megaverse. At the end the new security guard is TABLO from EPIK HIGH. The crossword said Next 'X'? Next Collab is SKZ X TABLO. Recently Epik High did a collab with Seventeens HOSHI. Interestingly Tablo"s wife's favourite IDOL group is StrayKids. His daughters favourite groups are StrayKids, Seventeen and BTS. I can see a trend 😂
I’m 65 and I listen to them for my own pleasure 😀. My daughter and I have periodically a Stray Kids night sharing a bottle of Soju while we sit and watch most recent albums with the teasers and dance practice. Every song are on my playlist, they are that good.
Good for you!! Stray Kids as a group is very wholesome for kids, I think. They have wonderful personalities and characters. There is a lot of fun Stray Kids content on YT. I'm 65 and love SKZ, but none of my kids or grands like them like I do. However, my son gifted me tickets to Stray Kids last year and we went together. Couldn't talk my granddaughter into going though. It was a blast!
@@sylvielebrun1733 I'm also 65 and a long time stay. I'm so jealous that you get to spend time with your daughter like that!! You're lucky. My daughter laughs at me in a good way, but still buys me SKZ stuff for gifts, haha.
SKZ mixes a lot of genres into their music. I believe there are over 40 genres mixed into their discography. They even made their own genre called "mala taste" based on a super flavorful but spicy dish that makes your mouth numb called "malatang".
Even from the start when they ranged in age from 16 to 20 and were trying to survive on a reality show to debut and had the task of writing and choreographing a song which was Hellevator they showed their grit, determination and pure genius to stand out from the usual stereotypical KPop at the time to always be true to their own music.
Vigilante superheroes vibe- 100% So glad you checked this out. Stray Kids cross language boundaries and age boundaries- I’m 41 and love their music. The actor, Yoong Seunghoon, portraying the security guard- was in Squid Game. His character was Park Ju-un. More recommendations: Thunderous, Easy, Maniac, God’s Menu, Double Knot, Venom, S-Class, Topline (w/Tiger JK)
If there is one thing Stray Kids does excellently (beyond everything haha), it's wordplay, no matter the language. Wordplay/puns etc are in general quite popular within Korean culture. They in a sense create their own words often. You should def check out "La La La La"
Stray kids is an Korean 8 member group they composed write and produced their own sound since pre debut till now, people really should check them out because their discography is for everyone
Haven't even finished watching this yet, but had to sub and like. You showed immense respect for saying that SKZ continues to embrace their own culture as they also grow in the western market. I value musicians all over the world who do the same. Music, in and of itself, is a beautiful way to share culture.
Changbin and Han are two of the most accomplished and fastest rappers in SK. For Changbin, watch Mirror Mirror. OT8 are amazing, there’s never enough space to speak about each member and how fantastic they are. This group wouldn’t be here without the effort of their leader Bang Chan 💖🥰 3Racha
Vigilante superheroes! Yep. To me thats it. I have never been into Kpop, not until a friend introduced me to stray kids and I was a stay within a week. They are so so good!!
Tablo, the person at the end, is from a three person Korean group called Epik High. They’re well respected as one of the OGs in the Korean hip hop scene and one of Stray Kids’ idols. Especially Tablo.
Bang Chan, the leader of Stray Kids and, as part of 3Racha, is one of their main writers / arrangers / producers (plus 3Racha still writes / produces music of their own apart from Stray Kids) created the Stray kids logo himself. There's a video on TH-cam that shows him working on it, until he arrives at the final design.
Thank god Anthony turned you on to STRAY KIDS!!!😄one of my favorite KPOP groups EVER!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this group!looking forward to MORE Stray Kids on your channel! They are FIRE!🔥 I also suggest checking out their rap line 3Racha....start with the title track 3Racha & go from there if you're into rap.😄🎶🔥✌
A lot of kpop have a concept or story line. Stray kids confuse the heck out of their fans with their's. They have alternate realities, alternate versions of themselves so that's where you get breaking walls and megaverse. I haven't really delved into that side of their music too much yet. You have to go all the way back to the beginning to really catch all the references in their videos. Because they have creative control and write and produce most of their songs they are able to use foreshadowing, and a flashbacks and other typically literary devices to tie their music together which I really appreciate. They also use a lot of pop culture references as well, Marvel being a big one
The security guard was played by one of the squid game actors, actually - so funny that you mentioned it! They’ve been incredibly experimental since the beginning and their beats are all nasty. Topline, Venom, Freeze, Easy, Side Effects and Double Knot are my next recs for you.
Loved your take on it man, and especially their lyrics. Their lyrics are about their time as a group with many ups and downs, and so many years people said their music was just noisy or trash. Their big song after gods menu called “thunderous” was basically a noisy song to the haters lol they now have the success and confidence to spit fire back so that’s where they’re at now!
Just a note, this is not a title track. The effort they put into their 'B Side' videos is amazing. Welcome to Stray Kids (Skz), they have something for everyone and every genre.
Tablo of EpikHigh, the last guy, is an inspiration to StrayKids. Because of him and TigerJK and BTS and others breaking barriers we now have StrayKids breaking more barriers. Korean Music Industry doesn’t get the respect it deserves. They should be sweeping MTV Awards every year.
Love the reaction. I do want to clear something up, though... they don't include the English lyrics for the Western audience. The first two members are Felix and Christopher. They are from Australia and speak English as well as you and me. They love word play and the more languages you know... you get the idea. 😂 The first security guard is actually an actor from Squid Games.
Stray Kids gets called out for their "noise" music but they go right at the haters with God's Menu, Thunderous, and Cheese. Highly recommend you watch Thunderous and Cheese - very different moods but they share a message: "I'm not sorry I'm dirty. Keep on talking - we don't play by the rules"
Shout out from the UK, I was waiting for this reaction! You need to continue this awesome journey and partnership with Anthony Ray introducing you to the international music he listens to. I have a diverse music taste and appreciate your take, as an American Hip Hop artist, to different genres particularly UK rap/K-rap. I've watched you react to loads of different stuff and so pleased you're branching out into new arenas. Would love to see you show the rest of your crew some of these and get their thoughts!
I was so excited to see Tablo at the end!! I will always see Tablo's group, Epik High when they tour. The idea that they may be colaborating with Stray kids is exciting!!.
knowing that is the second time that you react to skz, you were really respecful and in to it. YOU KNOW ABOUT MUSIC AND I CAN SI IT. A NEW SUBSC FROM COLOMBIA . THX
as a long time subscriber of your channel, it makes me so so so happy to see you reacting to stray kids finally! i hope you can continue to show them lots of love in the future. :D
3 of the 8 members have a sub-group named 3Racha and they produce all the beats and write the lyrics for the group. love your channel and hope to see more of one of my favorite groups on your channel. :)
From the beginning Stray Kids have looked up to a group called Monsta X because of the two rappers from Monsta X and also the Dark and loud music. Both Bang Chan (leader) and Felix (deep voice at the beginning) are both from Sydney Australia. Shownu from Monsta X when he was with Stray Kids entertainment company JYP looked after Bang when he moved to South Korea. Usually their videos roll into the next one.
Thank u for reacting! Definitely think there will be a collaboration with Tablo. So excited for it. Thank you for reacting to SKIZ 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻 You will love their rap songs especially “Heyday” and “3Racha” by 3 producers of SKIZ 3Racha, sub unit and main rappers 💚
I found Anthony through his bts reaction and he mentioned you and i LOVE your reactions. I can tell you and Anthony are both genuine artists. Much respect 💜
One of my favourite songs on this album but it’s pretty hard not to like almost every one of their 200 songs. They truly offer something for every mood, high energy, fun, slow, rap, dem, hip hop, rock, pop, ballads. My teenager got me onto them 18 months ago. Never in a million years would I have imagined likely K-pop!
Yes!! Im loving how many people are discovering our boys!!! Welcome to Stayville 😂❤❤❤❤ Should watch Lalalala next! They always leave clues at the end of the video!
They performed their song, S-Class at the VMAs this year (won "Best KPop" for it as well). Both the Music Video & the VMA performance (tweaked for the award show) are definitely worth watching!
Thank you for your reaction! I enjoy Stray Kids’ music because they use a lot of word play in their lyrics and just the energy their music gives. They are such a talented group. They are self produced, they write most of own music and lyrics. 3racha (Bang Chan, Changbin and Han) do most of the producing but all of the members have contributed lyrics for songs.
Stray kids dropped another bomb. Check out their other songs. They are all different. Lyrics multi-layer. That was a surprise cameo of an old school K-pop artist Tablo at the end. We are hoping they do a collaboration next. Try Topline it was a collaboration with Tiger JK Which we loved seeing because they had used his name in a song they did towards the beginning of their career. Thank you ❤
I'm impressed with your first reaction and interpretation (aside of the reaction with Anthony) regarding Stray Kids and the content of their lyrics and visual message. You are right on! I really like how you pointed out the word play and what it might mean. Most of their MV's have layers of meanings and symbolisms. I watch a lot of Stray Kids reaction and you might become one of my favorites! I'd love to watch more SKZ reactions from you.
You should react to Topline, Maniac & Thunderous. The beat is carzy! and You'll go wild when you listen to Felix's deep voice 🤭Also, i love Megaverse because they just sound so different & its like Stray Kids are telling everyone that, even if their music sounds different from others, they don't give a damn & they stay true to their music colours. Certain korean don't really like their music because they thought stray kids sounds different for k-pop pretty guys should sounds like, but these dudes just kill it bro & the world can't deny it. Love them & you too BP!
The smash in the track is a sample of hulk smash, and they are huge marvel fans - and ryan reynolds is a huge fan of them for a deadpool tribute they did. Kind of hit the nail on the head with the superhero/vigilante do it our way vibe. The security guard was an actor in Squid Game sooo again, nail on the head.

Production credit numbers for the group according to KOMCA... Bang Chan 180 (3rd most in the industry) Changbin 152 (#11) Han 148 (#12) Hyunjin 22 Felix 21 Seungmin 19 I.N 19 Lee Know 17
hmm.. think this fell off outside.. here you go.. Changbin - 152 (rank #11) , Han (rank #12). Love that all the boys have production/songwriting credits now.
@@prmtv hmm most likely I.N bumped into Changbin and knocked his numbers loose.. then when he went to pick it up, the ranking numbers went flying somewhere.. Chan was able to settle him down so his numbers were safe. I just happen to be stalk.. I mean walking by & saw the numbers hiding under the guard's desk, so I decided to return them to you & your welcome.. See Stay love lore theories..
Stray Kids have pretty much invented their own genre. They even have a name for it (I can't remember off hand what it is, lol. I'm sure some other Stay will chime in with it). They are amazing. They write and produce ALL of their own music. Bang Chan has over 180 songs registered with KOMCA (the Korean song registry), Changbin has 152, and Han has 148. Together they form 3Racha, the core songwriting/producing team within the group. They are also the main rappers. Other members have all also written songs for various albums. They are an extremely talented group and Chan's goal when forming them was to be as self-produced and self-sufficient as possible. Their main dancers do a lot of their choreo, for example (they do sometimes bring in other choreographers to help, but SKz very much like to be in the weeds of the creative process.) For context: Felix (deep voice) begins this video, then Bang Chan picks it up, the Changbin walks out of the elevator, and then Han steps out of the elevator. Changbin is, I believe, one of the absolute best rappers working today. He once did a collab called Mirror Mirror, and in it he does 16 different flows in 36 seconds, and he did it in a single take. Han is also amazing, and the two of them contrast very well with Changbin's texture and Han's more clear tones and his INSANE ability for ad libs. Fun fact: despite both being incredible rappers, they are also both extremely accomplished vocalists, Han especially. Han is considered a "k-pop Ace" because he is SO GOOD at all three: vocals, rap, and dance. The group as a whole has received a LOT of flack because their unique style is not the mainstream K-pop sound, and so they have a lot of songs that basically say "Yeah, this is us, this is our sound, and we're freaking amazing" (see: Thunderous, God's Menu, S-Class, Megaverse...lol). Changbin does say Megatron in his verse. Felix says megatons. Felix and Chan are both Australian-Korean, and the entire group is very versed on pop culture, so fans of Marvel, etc. I am not surprised they threw in a Transformers reference.
I heard rumor, this song will came up in upcoming superhero movie next year, And funfact, Ryan Reynolds a.k.a Deadpool is a friend with the leader of Straykids, Bang Chan
I love your insight & respect you have when watching skz they truly are so so so talented & im here for more reactions lol i love watching people just get mindblown by them😂 their discography & mvs are so diverse & just full of absolute heat! Cant wait to see more!🔥🙌🏽
TABLO is an Artist! I'm over 40 and my daughter introduced me to TABLO maybe 20 years ago. It was good to see him. Yeah. Stray Kids are GREAT. They ALL rap, sing and dance. I love them. ❤ Their rap line is no joke. People are surprised that their main rappers even sing WELL. Everything about them is top notch. They are true to themselves. High-quality videos. Interesting concepts. You'll really enjoy them. See S-Class and Case 143. Thunderous if you haven't seen that. They keep ramping it up! Love it!!! ❤❤❤ Btw. I'm enjoying your reaction videos.
Daniel Armand Lee (Korean: Lee Seon-woong; Hangul: 이선웅; born July 22, 1980), better known by his stage name Tablo (Hangul: 타블로), is a Korean-Canadian hip hop recording artist, lyricist, composer and record producer. Tablo is best known as the leader and producer of veteran Korean hip-hop group Epik High, and the founder of independent music label HIGHGRND (High Ground), which housed bands Hyukoh and The Black Skirts.
It’s pretty clear … Green hue Multiple monitors Hallways and doors Dude running looks like the “key maker” Busted concrete and powers that manipulated reality … THIS IS A PLAY ON THE MATRIX Which is cool . Such a great movie with great kung-fu , and definitely about the resistance
Stray Kids is under JYP Entertainment. Stray Kids was formed through a reality show called 'Stray Kids'. They debuted in 2018. The group is currently composed of 8 members : Bang Chan (Leader), Changbin, Lee Know, Han Jisung, Felix, Hyunjin, I.N (Maknae) and Seungmin. Woojin left the group.
SKZ is so versatile in whatever music they make. they are often said to be pioneers of the “mala taste” genre. others say the “mala taste” genre was created to describe SKZ music. either way, it’s great to see these producers/lyricists/artists getting the recognition they deserve. since their debut, they were constantly being hated for making “noise” music. they consistently remind the haters through their lyrics that no matter what they will do what they want, when they want, and how they want to do so because they know the haters listen to their music lol. i will add that they do it tastefully and they never miss in their music production. truly an admirable group!
Stray Kids is currently composed of 8 members. One of their sub-units called "3RACHA" (Composed of 3 members : Bang Chan, Changbin and Han Jisung) produces songs for the group.
The older security guard in this MV was in Squid Games. Tablo is the guy at the end, and he's from Epik High. I'm guessing he's doing a collab soon with the Stray Kids. Also, two of these boys are Aussies so English is their first language. Other Kpop groups have Australian members too, which I think is cool. :) I recommend Venom and Freeze. And Side Effects is one of my favs.
There's 3racha song creators for you, they always play with words. And they are hella good players, have to admit. I'm grown up woman who fell for 8 tiny Korean boys exactly bc of producing line of Stray Kids - the Leader Bangchan (Chan Christopher Bang actually), Seo Changbin and Han Jisung. These guys are the biggest producing names of 4th generation and soon of all the industry. Thank you for reaction, it was respectful and warm)
I saw the live stream when Anthony Ray sent this over to you to react to.. his excitement was too funny. He said you would like it & I am glad you did. STAY love theories & lore & fellow Stay @phylisbrown1181 shared: - I LOVE the theme of this MV. The security guard was disrespecting them by DOODLING all over them in the newspaper. This angered SKZ and caused them to arrive in their Hellevator to right the wrong. CHANS sweater is covered in DOODLES. The boys morphing into each other stamps we are one. One for all, all for one. Mess with one, you mess with us all. - I also love the fact that it is the Music that blasts him through the wall and the floor. SKZ replied to their haters the best way they can, their music. If you notice no matter where the guard tried to escape to..... through exit doors, he couldn't get away. That is because there is NO EXIT, once you are in, you are here to STAY.✴ I Agree.🌠 Welcome to Stayville... Wanna come In??
When i watched Anthony's reaction and actually sent you the dm while filming, i was waiting excited to see your reaction. I'm hoping to see more of your reactions for Stray kids
Anthony Ray once said that Stray Kids will one day be #1 and I believe it! At the end you see a man filling out the word Tablo in the crossword. That man is a famous Canadian/Korean rapper named Tablo. A teaser for a possible collaboration? We’ll see. There are so many good rap songs I could suggest but here are 2: 3Racha - there is no video but please put up the color coded translation to see who sings which part. This one is by the production subunit 3Racha, same name as the song. Please also react to Topline featuring Tiger JK (another rap legend) Thank you.
9:12 this made my day as someone who actually works with lyrics saw this, skz are well known for their wordplay, as an english speaker you caught on to many but there are also many korean wordplays around the songs with double meanings like you said megaverse = mega verse -> “jumping between every verse the mutiverse, ain’t ready for our universe”
Stray Kids is a personal favorite. The superhero vibe you mentioned does seem to be a theme with them. You should check out their “Ddu ddu ddu” performance on Kingdom: Legendary War. It’s a Deadpool homage that caught Ryan Reynold’s attention. An observation I had recently. Other groups throw in their band name into songs and, truthfully, it often comes across cheesy and egotistical. I have never felt that way when Stray Kids does it and I think it is because Stray Kids not only refers to their group but to their followers as well (“Stray Kids all around the world”). It is inclusive and makes it more hype/anthemic.
thanks for reacting to stray kids!! you should check out their new title track 'lalalala', it's from the same album as this as megaverse was only a b-side!
Thank you for your reaction. It was very cool and interesting. Stray Kids have so many great songs and I bet most people that do reaction videos are so confused...like... are those fans fr...do Stray Kids really have that many...lol Short answer - they do...lol It's sooooo hard to pick even the top 10 songs
Fun fact: Bang chan (the leader) and Felix (deep voice) are actually from Australia! Also what makes Stray Kids stand out compared to other groups is that they are the ones actually producing everything. Bangchan, Changbin, and Han are the producing line💚🤗🍀 thank you so much for this reaction BP!
I mean BTS, Gidle, Dream catcher, epik high etc also write and produce own songs
@@Dashominnot as much as Stray Kids (98% of their dicography is composed and witten by Skzmebers/3RACHA), Skz is the group who produce the most, you can see that with their KOMKA credit, in a few years they are already catching up 3th gen groups. But yeah I know GIdle and BTS also produce but in reality it's a small pourcentage of the kpop groups who are producing their songs.
@@Dashomin we are not comparing we are saying facts about skz so stop comparing
Yup, these guys are megatalented. Their word play in their lyrics is next level. They love playing with English and Korean together. This song is like an anthem, imo. Maybe even a war cry. They are the outliers in k-pop, doing different things, playing with different genres, writing and producing all their own music. I think they are musical geniuses.
The guy at the end is another Korean rapper by the name of Tablo. He is one of the three members of the hip hop group Epik High. I believe that the crossword he does at the end where it says “Next X” and he writes his name is a hint at a possible collaboration between him and Stray Kids. Epik High is another amazing group! I suggest that you check them out as well.
They are the highest-ranking K-Pop act in all the charts they have entered this year:

Thank you for this info Stay! ❣
You were correct, they used ALL of the Mega words you mentioned.
I LOVE the theme of this MV.
The security guard was disrespecting them by DOODLING all over them in the newspaper. This angered SKZ and caused them to break the 4th wall and arrive in their hellevator to right the wrong. CHANS sweater is covered in DOODLES.
The boys morphing into each other stamps we are one. One for all, all for one. Mess with one, you mess with us all.
I also love the fact that it is the music that blasts him through the wall and the floor. SKZ replied to their haters the best way they can, their music.
If you notice no matter where the guard tried to escape to..... through exit doors, he couldn't get away. That is because there is NO EXIT, once you are in, you are here to STAY. So welcome to the Stray Kids Hot Megaverse.
At the end the new security guard is TABLO from EPIK HIGH. The crossword said Next 'X'? Next Collab is SKZ X TABLO.
Recently Epik High did a collab with Seventeens HOSHI. Interestingly Tablo"s wife's favourite IDOL group is StrayKids. His daughters favourite groups are StrayKids, Seventeen and BTS. I can see a trend 😂
Once again-fave explanation!!
I’m watching because this is my granddaughter’s fave group. lol Need to see what she’s listening too. Their voices sound great.
I’m 65 and I listen to them for my own pleasure 😀. My daughter and I have periodically a Stray Kids night sharing a bottle of Soju while we sit and watch most recent albums with the teasers and dance practice. Every song are on my playlist, they are that good.
Yo a punto de 60 y estoy loca con mis niños!!😅❤❤❤
Good for you!! Stray Kids as a group is very wholesome for kids, I think. They have wonderful personalities and characters. There is a lot of fun Stray Kids content on YT. I'm 65 and love SKZ, but none of my kids or grands like them like I do. However, my son gifted me tickets to Stray Kids last year and we went together. Couldn't talk my granddaughter into going though. It was a blast!
@@sylvielebrun1733 I'm also 65 and a long time stay. I'm so jealous that you get to spend time with your daughter like that!! You're lucky. My daughter laughs at me in a good way, but still buys me SKZ stuff for gifts, haha.
@@oneheart19 Wow, you are lucky. Is it because their sound is too No Easy (noisy) that they don’t like them?
I recently discovered the Stray Kids and have become a fan. They are so talented.
Stray kids never disappointed..their lyrics all about them ❤
Welcome to the fandom!! :)
SKZ mixes a lot of genres into their music. I believe there are over 40 genres mixed into their discography. They even made their own genre called "mala taste" based on a super flavorful but spicy dish that makes your mouth numb called "malatang".
Even from the start when they ranged in age from 16 to 20 and were trying to survive on a reality show to debut and had the task of writing and choreographing a song which was Hellevator they showed their grit, determination and pure genius to stand out from the usual stereotypical KPop at the time to always be true to their own music.
Vigilante superheroes vibe- 100%
So glad you checked this out. Stray Kids cross language boundaries and age boundaries- I’m 41 and love their music.
The actor, Yoong Seunghoon, portraying the security guard- was in Squid Game. His character was Park Ju-un.
More recommendations: Thunderous, Easy, Maniac, God’s Menu, Double Knot, Venom, S-Class, Topline (w/Tiger JK)
If there is one thing Stray Kids does excellently (beyond everything haha), it's wordplay, no matter the language. Wordplay/puns etc are in general quite popular within Korean culture. They in a sense create their own words often. You should def check out "La La La La"
he actually already reacted to it! Its on Anthony Ray reacts channel
@@Convouz thanks, i'll check it out!
Stray kids are breaking all the walls. So unique & talented. Loved Yr reaction. Thanks. Nobody can do it like SK at present. Live from UK
Stray kids is an Korean 8 member group they composed write and produced their own sound since pre debut till now, people really should check them out because their discography is for everyone
Haven't even finished watching this yet, but had to sub and like. You showed immense respect for saying that SKZ continues to embrace their own culture as they also grow in the western market. I value musicians all over the world who do the same. Music, in and of itself, is a beautiful way to share culture.
FELIX POWERFULL VOICE STRAY KIDS MEGAVERSE💯🌟🌻🙋🔥
Changbin and Han are two of the most accomplished and fastest rappers in SK. For Changbin, watch Mirror Mirror. OT8 are amazing, there’s never enough space to speak about each member and how fantastic they are. This group wouldn’t be here without the effort of their leader Bang Chan 💖🥰 3Racha
Vigilante superheroes! Yep. To me thats it.
I have never been into Kpop, not until a friend introduced me to stray kids and I was a stay within a week. They are so so good!!
I was waiting for this 🔥🔥
Tablo, the person at the end, is from a three person Korean group called Epik High. They’re well respected as one of the OGs in the Korean hip hop scene and one of Stray Kids’ idols. Especially Tablo.
Thanks to Anthony for introducing Skz to Black Pegasus🥳❤️ Let's show him some love stays🔥
Bang Chan, the leader of Stray Kids and, as part of 3Racha, is one of their main writers / arrangers / producers (plus 3Racha still writes / produces music of their own apart from Stray Kids) created the Stray kids logo himself. There's a video on TH-cam that shows him working on it, until he arrives at the final design.
Thank god Anthony turned you on to STRAY KIDS!!!😄one of my favorite KPOP groups EVER!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this group!looking forward to MORE Stray Kids on your channel! They are FIRE!🔥 I also suggest checking out their rap line 3Racha....start with the title track 3Racha & go from there if you're into rap.😄🎶🔥✌
Felix is epitome of perfection 😍
A lot of kpop have a concept or story line. Stray kids confuse the heck out of their fans with their's. They have alternate realities, alternate versions of themselves so that's where you get breaking walls and megaverse. I haven't really delved into that side of their music too much yet.
You have to go all the way back to the beginning to really catch all the references in their videos. Because they have creative control and write and produce most of their songs they are able to use foreshadowing, and a flashbacks and other typically literary devices to tie their music together which I really appreciate.
They also use a lot of pop culture references as well, Marvel being a big one
The security guard was played by one of the squid game actors, actually - so funny that you mentioned it!
They’ve been incredibly experimental since the beginning and their beats are all nasty. Topline, Venom, Freeze, Easy, Side Effects and Double Knot are my next recs for you.
Loved your take on it man, and especially their lyrics. Their lyrics are about their time as a group with many ups and downs, and so many years people said their music was just noisy or trash. Their big song after gods menu called “thunderous” was basically a noisy song to the haters lol they now have the success and confidence to spit fire back so that’s where they’re at now!
Just a note, this is not a title track. The effort they put into their 'B Side' videos is amazing. Welcome to Stray Kids (Skz), they have something for everyone and every genre.
FELIX DEEP VOICE IS THE BEST 🔥🔥🔥🔥💙💙
I don’t know why it’s funny to me that he’s talking about their voices but he doesn’t notice filex’s Australian accent
These guys are talented
Tablo of EpikHigh, the last guy, is an inspiration to StrayKids. Because of him and TigerJK and BTS and others breaking barriers we now have StrayKids breaking more barriers. Korean Music Industry doesn’t get the respect it deserves. They should be sweeping MTV Awards every year.
Yes yes yes more stray kids!!! These boys are unbelievable.
Love the reaction. I do want to clear something up, though... they don't include the English lyrics for the Western audience. The first two members are Felix and Christopher. They are from Australia and speak English as well as you and me. They love word play and the more languages you know... you get the idea.
😂 The first security guard is actually an actor from Squid Games.
Stray Kids !! They are phenomenal !!!
Stray Kids gets called out for their "noise" music but they go right at the haters with God's Menu, Thunderous, and Cheese. Highly recommend you watch Thunderous and Cheese - very different moods but they share a message: "I'm not sorry I'm dirty. Keep on talking - we don't play by the rules"
Shout out from the UK, I was waiting for this reaction! You need to continue this awesome journey and partnership with Anthony Ray introducing you to the international music he listens to. I have a diverse music taste and appreciate your take, as an American Hip Hop artist, to different genres particularly UK rap/K-rap. I've watched you react to loads of different stuff and so pleased you're branching out into new arenas. Would love to see you show the rest of your crew some of these and get their thoughts!
I was so excited to see Tablo at the end!! I will always see Tablo's group, Epik High when they tour. The idea that they may be colaborating with Stray kids is exciting!!.
knowing that is the second time that you react to skz, you were really respecful and in to it. YOU KNOW ABOUT MUSIC AND I CAN SI IT. A NEW SUBSC FROM COLOMBIA . THX
as a long time subscriber of your channel, it makes me so so so happy to see you reacting to stray kids finally! i hope you can continue to show them lots of love in the future. :D
3 of the 8 members have a sub-group named 3Racha and they produce all the beats and write the lyrics for the group. love your channel and hope to see more of one of my favorite groups on your channel. :)
I feel like I'm listening to a Radio Dj and you have a good speaking voice. Thanks for reacting to stray kids!
Greatly appreciate the respect you throw these boys, loved the reaction!
Stray Kids are so good! Hope you do more of them!
Stray Kids are fire. Love them.
If you like boom bap rap, you need to hear their song Muddy Water.
From the beginning Stray Kids have looked up to a group called Monsta X because of the two rappers from Monsta X and also the Dark and loud music. Both Bang Chan (leader) and Felix (deep voice at the beginning) are both from Sydney Australia. Shownu from Monsta X when he was with Stray Kids entertainment company JYP looked after Bang when he moved to South Korea. Usually their videos roll into the next one.
I really like your comments and reactions. You noticed so much details and understand what the MV wants to convey to it's audiences.
Thank u for reacting! Definitely think there will be a collaboration with Tablo. So excited for it. Thank you for reacting to SKIZ 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
You will love their rap songs especially “Heyday” and “3Racha” by 3 producers of SKIZ 3Racha, sub unit and main rappers 💚
I found Anthony through his bts reaction and he mentioned you and i LOVE your reactions. I can tell you and Anthony are both genuine artists. Much respect 💜
One of my favourite songs on this album but it’s pretty hard not to like almost every one of their 200 songs. They truly offer something for every mood, high energy, fun, slow, rap, dem, hip hop, rock, pop, ballads. My teenager got me onto them 18 months ago. Never in a million years would I have imagined likely K-pop!
Yes!! Im loving how many people are discovering our boys!!! Welcome to Stayville 😂❤❤❤❤
Should watch Lalalala next! They always leave clues at the end of the video!
They performed their song, S-Class at the VMAs this year (won "Best KPop" for it as well).
Both the Music Video & the VMA performance (tweaked for the award show) are definitely worth watching!
I love this M/V and reaction was 💯- I get a Matrix vibe
“If you keep showing up for these” Stay will always show up for Skz let’s be real 😂🙌
Thank you for your reaction! I enjoy Stray Kids’ music because they use a lot of word play in their lyrics and just the energy their music gives. They are such a talented group. They are self produced, they write most of own music and lyrics. 3racha (Bang Chan, Changbin and Han) do most of the producing but all of the members have contributed lyrics for songs.
Stray kids dropped another bomb.
Check out their other songs. They are all different. Lyrics multi-layer.
That was a surprise cameo of an old school K-pop artist Tablo at the end.
We are hoping they do a collaboration next.
Try Topline it was a collaboration with Tiger JK
Which we loved seeing because they had used his name in a song they did towards the beginning of their career.
Thank you ❤
I'm impressed with your first reaction and interpretation (aside of the reaction with Anthony) regarding Stray Kids and the content of their lyrics and visual message. You are right on! I really like how you pointed out the word play and what it might mean. Most of their MV's have layers of meanings and symbolisms. I watch a lot of Stray Kids reaction and you might become one of my favorites! I'd love to watch more SKZ reactions from you.
Do more Stray Kids. They are fantastic.
thank you for the reaction looking forward for more
You should react to Topline, Maniac & Thunderous. The beat is carzy! and You'll go wild when you listen to Felix's deep voice 🤭Also, i love Megaverse because they just sound so different & its like Stray Kids are telling everyone that, even if their music sounds different from others, they don't give a damn & they stay true to their music colours. Certain korean don't really like their music because they thought stray kids sounds different for k-pop pretty guys should sounds like, but these dudes just kill it bro & the world can't deny it. Love them & you too BP!
The smash in the track is a sample of hulk smash, and they are huge marvel fans - and ryan reynolds is a huge fan of them for a deadpool tribute they did. Kind of hit the nail on the head with the superhero/vigilante do it our way vibe.
The security guard was an actor in Squid Game sooo again, nail on the head.
Great react! I've been a fan since you did Ren! Love that you did a straykids reaction! Keep em coming! Loved your interpretation too!

Production credit numbers for the group according to KOMCA...
Bang Chan 180 (3rd most in the industry)
Changbin 152 (#11)
Han 148 (#12)
Hyunjin 22
Felix 21
Seungmin 19
I.N 19
Lee Know 17
hmm.. think this fell off outside.. here you go.. Changbin - 152 (rank #11) , Han (rank #12). Love that all the boys have production/songwriting credits now.
@@Resistance_Is_Futile1of3 oops thank you! I don't know what happened to it lol
@@prmtv hmm most likely I.N bumped into Changbin and knocked his numbers loose.. then when he went to pick it up, the ranking numbers went flying somewhere.. Chan was able to settle him down so his numbers were safe. I just happen to be stalk.. I mean walking by & saw the numbers hiding under the guard's desk, so I decided to return them to you & your welcome.. See Stay love lore theories..
@@Resistance_Is_Futile1of3 I love this fandom 😂😂
@@prmtv Agreed - Ditto. 🐺❣
Loved your reaction. Thank you.
Stray Kids have pretty much invented their own genre. They even have a name for it (I can't remember off hand what it is, lol. I'm sure some other Stay will chime in with it). They are amazing. They write and produce ALL of their own music. Bang Chan has over 180 songs registered with KOMCA (the Korean song registry), Changbin has 152, and Han has 148. Together they form 3Racha, the core songwriting/producing team within the group. They are also the main rappers. Other members have all also written songs for various albums. They are an extremely talented group and Chan's goal when forming them was to be as self-produced and self-sufficient as possible. Their main dancers do a lot of their choreo, for example (they do sometimes bring in other choreographers to help, but SKz very much like to be in the weeds of the creative process.)
For context: Felix (deep voice) begins this video, then Bang Chan picks it up, the Changbin walks out of the elevator, and then Han steps out of the elevator. Changbin is, I believe, one of the absolute best rappers working today. He once did a collab called Mirror Mirror, and in it he does 16 different flows in 36 seconds, and he did it in a single take. Han is also amazing, and the two of them contrast very well with Changbin's texture and Han's more clear tones and his INSANE ability for ad libs. Fun fact: despite both being incredible rappers, they are also both extremely accomplished vocalists, Han especially. Han is considered a "k-pop Ace" because he is SO GOOD at all three: vocals, rap, and dance.
The group as a whole has received a LOT of flack because their unique style is not the mainstream K-pop sound, and so they have a lot of songs that basically say "Yeah, this is us, this is our sound, and we're freaking amazing" (see: Thunderous, God's Menu, S-Class, Megaverse...lol).
Changbin does say Megatron in his verse. Felix says megatons. Felix and Chan are both Australian-Korean, and the entire group is very versed on pop culture, so fans of Marvel, etc. I am not surprised they threw in a Transformers reference.
I heard rumor, this song will came up in upcoming superhero movie next year,
And funfact, Ryan Reynolds a.k.a Deadpool is a friend with the leader of Straykids, Bang Chan
The new security guard at the end is Tablo from a canadian Kpop group Epik High.
Easter egg at the end of the video is a possible collab with a K-pop legend Tablo
I love your insight & respect you have when watching skz they truly are so so so talented & im here for more reactions lol i love watching people just get mindblown by them😂 their discography & mvs are so diverse & just full of absolute heat! Cant wait to see more!🔥🙌🏽
TABLO is an Artist! I'm over 40 and my daughter introduced me to TABLO maybe 20 years ago. It was good to see him. Yeah. Stray Kids are GREAT. They ALL rap, sing and dance. I love them. ❤ Their rap line is no joke. People are surprised that their main rappers even sing WELL. Everything about them is top notch. They are true to themselves. High-quality videos. Interesting concepts. You'll really enjoy them. See S-Class and Case 143. Thunderous if you haven't seen that. They keep ramping it up! Love it!!! ❤❤❤ Btw. I'm enjoying your reaction videos.
*10 years ago
I really like Stray Kids
Daniel Armand Lee (Korean: Lee Seon-woong; Hangul: 이선웅; born July 22, 1980), better known by his stage name Tablo (Hangul: 타블로), is a Korean-Canadian hip hop recording artist, lyricist, composer and record producer. Tablo is best known as the leader and producer of veteran Korean hip-hop group Epik High, and the founder of independent music label HIGHGRND (High Ground), which housed bands Hyukoh and The Black Skirts.
It’s pretty clear …
Green hue
Multiple monitors
Hallways and doors
Dude running looks like the “key maker”
Busted concrete and powers that manipulated reality …
THIS IS A PLAY ON THE MATRIX
Which is cool . Such a great movie with great kung-fu , and definitely about the resistance
Thad last music close was a riff from the ending of Megatron - The one where the Transformers Megatron was hiding behind the Moon.
Stray Kids is under JYP Entertainment. Stray Kids was formed through a reality show called 'Stray Kids'. They debuted in 2018. The group is currently composed of 8 members :
Bang Chan (Leader), Changbin, Lee Know, Han Jisung, Felix, Hyunjin, I.N (Maknae) and Seungmin.
Woojin left the group.
리액션 감사해요~ I’m a korean. More skz plz❤
I like your reaction to my favorite kpop .. straykids never disappoints
you did a pretty great job at describing the messages hidden in the video and lyrics! love the skz content
SKZ is so versatile in whatever music they make. they are often said to be pioneers of the “mala taste” genre. others say the “mala taste” genre was created to describe SKZ music. either way, it’s great to see these producers/lyricists/artists getting the recognition they deserve. since their debut, they were constantly being hated for making “noise” music. they consistently remind the haters through their lyrics that no matter what they will do what they want, when they want, and how they want to do so because they know the haters listen to their music lol. i will add that they do it tastefully and they never miss in their music production. truly an admirable group!
Loved your reaction❤
Stray Kids is currently composed of 8 members. One of their sub-units called "3RACHA" (Composed of 3 members : Bang Chan, Changbin and Han Jisung) produces songs for the group.
Great reaction
What an insane Video !
This is🫢🔥🔥🔥🔥
Tablo is the name of the artist at the end making a cameo.
Crossword page says: Next X?
Stray Kids x Tablo (upcoming SKZ/Tablo collab)
The older security guard in this MV was in Squid Games. Tablo is the guy at the end, and he's from Epik High. I'm guessing he's doing a collab soon with the Stray Kids. Also, two of these boys are Aussies so English is their first language. Other Kpop groups have Australian members too, which I think is cool. :) I recommend Venom and Freeze. And Side Effects is one of my favs.
Please check out some of their older stuff, not many people recommend FREEZE , but that MV is amazing and that song is 🔥
There's 3racha song creators for you, they always play with words. And they are hella good players, have to admit. I'm grown up woman who fell for 8 tiny Korean boys exactly bc of producing line of Stray Kids - the Leader Bangchan (Chan Christopher Bang actually), Seo Changbin and Han Jisung. These guys are the biggest producing names of 4th generation and soon of all the industry.
Thank you for reaction, it was respectful and warm)
I saw the live stream when Anthony Ray sent this over to you to react to.. his excitement was too funny. He said you would like it & I am glad you did. STAY love theories & lore & fellow Stay @phylisbrown1181 shared: - I LOVE the theme of this MV. The security guard was disrespecting them by DOODLING all over them in the newspaper. This angered SKZ and caused them to arrive in their Hellevator to right the wrong. CHANS sweater is covered in DOODLES. The boys morphing into each other stamps we are one. One for all, all for one. Mess with one, you mess with us all.
- I also love the fact that it is the Music that blasts him through the wall and the floor. SKZ replied to their haters the best way they can, their music. If you notice no matter where the guard tried to escape to..... through exit doors, he couldn't get away. That is because there is NO EXIT, once you are in, you are here to STAY.✴ I Agree.🌠 Welcome to Stayville... Wanna come In??
When i watched Anthony's reaction and actually sent you the dm while filming, i was waiting excited to see your reaction. I'm hoping to see more of your reactions for Stray kids
Please react to their rockstar album..They are super dope❤Thanks
What a dope Video !! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Anthony Ray once said that Stray Kids will one day be #1 and I believe it!
At the end you see a man filling out the word Tablo in the crossword. That man is a famous Canadian/Korean rapper named Tablo. A teaser for a possible collaboration? We’ll see.
There are so many good rap songs I could suggest but here are 2:
3Racha - there is no video but please put up the color coded translation to see who sings which part. This one is by the production subunit 3Racha, same name as the song.
Please also react to Topline featuring Tiger JK (another rap legend)
Thank you.
9:12 this made my day as someone who actually works with lyrics saw this, skz are well known for their wordplay, as an english speaker you caught on to many but there are also many korean wordplays around the songs with double meanings like you said megaverse = mega verse -> “jumping between every verse the mutiverse, ain’t ready for our universe”
Let's go stray kids ❤️
Stray Kids is a personal favorite. The superhero vibe you mentioned does seem to be a theme with them. You should check out their “Ddu ddu ddu” performance on Kingdom: Legendary War. It’s a Deadpool homage that caught Ryan Reynold’s attention.
An observation I had recently. Other groups throw in their band name into songs and, truthfully, it often comes across cheesy and egotistical. I have never felt that way when Stray Kids does it and I think it is because Stray Kids not only refers to their group but to their followers as well (“Stray Kids all around the world”). It is inclusive and makes it more hype/anthemic.
You've GOT to listen to EASY by straykids. It goes Hard.
thanks for reacting to stray kids!! you should check out their new title track 'lalalala', it's from the same album as this as megaverse was only a b-side!
The guy who wrote Tablo on the newspaper at the end thats Tablo from Epik High he’s a korean hiphop rapper!
Thank you for your reaction. It was very cool and interesting.
Stray Kids have so many great songs and I bet most people that do reaction videos are so confused...like... are those fans fr...do Stray Kids really have that many...lol
Short answer - they do...lol It's sooooo hard to pick even the top 10 songs
