Loved your reaction and thank you for uploading this reaction so quick❤ 'Cover me' was written by Hyunjin and Bangchan. I think Hyunjin came up with the lyrics and a topline and chan filled the second verse with his lyrics (not sure about this, i think it was said like this in the intro they released. I recommend watching the intro by the way because skz talk about what their intentions behind their songs are). And i really really love their comeback. I like all of their songs in this album but especially lalalala, comflex and cover me. These three songs really got me✨
As a metalhead way before I became a stay I am thoroughly happy with LALALALA rock version. During my first album listen I couldn't wait and pulled out my guitar and starting jamming to it. Regarding the "Shii" in LALALALA. I've seen with other reactors explaining that Shii is the korean equivalent of shoosh. So it is pronounced as spelled as Shii. So it works in Felix's lyrical context. Comflex is a no defending situation. The maknaes were assigned with SHIT straight up lmao
The wild thing is that LALALALA was originally going to be the Title track of 5 Star... then got bumped to a B-Side before Changbin asked if they could save it for a future title track (and replaced it with ITEM). Once they did that Seungmin and a few others went back to their parts and spiced them up for Rock Star (like going from falsetto to full voice in some of his parts). I think it was a great call as this song FULLY deserves title track status. Rest of the album is also fire. Easily one of my favorites and that Rock version! ☠💀☠ I'm DEAD Thank you for getting this out before vacation. Enjoy the time and look forward to more once you are back!
I think the "monsters" are the audience they have to perform in front of. It holds the child's fear and anxiety and worries and slowly skz is helping the kid fight those feelings so ask that is left is joy and excitement. Also idc what the lyrics says Felix says oh shit in LA LA LA LA! And comflex omfg! I'm so here for Skz cussing era! Also I'm pretty sure Hyunjin and Chan wrote cover me 😭😭😭
Thank you so much for the reaction before your holiday Pagan 😇💜. This'll be a good soundtrack for any travel time you have coming up. This was a great mini-album to round out the year and gave more than I'd expected. Loved that Hyunjin got to flex his writing chops with Cover me. It gave a new dynamic to the tracklist, I feel. Hope you have a great time, wherever you're going. I'm off to Morocco for a couple of weeks in December, which should be magical ☺
Omg PAGAN!! When I heard the Rock version, I thought of you and John Reaves as the other two that would be appreciating this song the most as reactors! Thanks for listening to the album! I’ve been streaming it on Stationhead but it’s mixed with other songs so this was the first time I sat still and paid attention. Have a safe trip abroad! 🫶🏼😊
Cover Me was written by Hyunjin and Chan and was initially recorded with only their voices. Han said that the demo was so good that he didn'y want to "ruin" it with all 8 voices and he still listent to that demo. P.S. loved your reaction to the rock version, my metalhead soul was SCREAMING when I heard it!
It was written by Hyunjin AND Chan as Chan wrote the second verse, could you please clarify that in your comment so stays who don't know won't be misinformed? ❤
For me, 'Cover Me and Leave' is the highlight of the album, and I've been listening to 'Cover Me' non-stop. Hyunjin's genius in blending the vocals is exceptional. This vocally strong song suggests SKZ should consider OSTs, with Hyunjin and Chan at the helm of writing. It's so emotionally charged that I end up crying every time I listen.
they outdo and challenge themselves every single time!! this album really has you wishing for more of it😭 i think the monsters in the mv represent the crowd the children are facing and the "bad guys" at the start seem to me like stagefright? which is trying to bring them down but ultimately skz are the ones that push the children and let them perform however they want and in the end you can see it going successfully! 5 star makes you think this is the best it can get and then they released this. wow just WOW also i love seungmin's high note in cover me, he actually did it in one-take!
@@PaganReacts Yeah! "shoosh" is written 쉿 but when 'ㅅ' is used as the bottom consonant it sounds more like 't' instead of 's'. Though they definitely know that haha so yk its probably intentional for it so sound like that since Chris also did the same thing in the mayfly rap stage for kingdom.
Girl it happened the same way to you it happened to me! I thought the first one i heard was Innie until i got down to the rock version and i could hear Felix better! And I was like WAIT A MINUTE. lol
I don't mind the translations as far as why people think they are swearing. The official korean lyrics for both Comflex and Lalalala have the korean 쉿, not shit. 쉿 means shh. And it does sound similar and probably why Chan included it. He's always trying to get words that sound like swearing in their music heh. They also used this same 쉿 during the Mayfly rap performance.
I.N and Seungmin are actually saying 쉿 (shwit) which means Shhh (asking ppl to be quiet) in korean. But it does sound like the word “sh*t” so yeah they purposely put that word in there haha. Also kpop groups cannot rly curse or their songs gonna get banned from public broadcast, thats why they did that wordplay
Technicalities be what may, the lyrics don't make as much sense with a "shoosh", aaaaaand when they perform it live, they are careful how it's censored MEANING... *They know what they do*. Lol and I love it. 😎 I also find it cute that at this point the only ones to get the risky lyrics are the maknae line. Lol
ngl, Lalala MV is a bit TOO insane for me. S-Class was already pushing it and Lalala just got over board, it's cool visuals but I'm just checking out from all that is happening, maybe it's targeted to younger viewers. I love the song itself tho! Can't choose if I like it or Megaverse more, they are equally awesome for me so far!!
Stumbled upon your channel recently and your reaction to Ado is one of my favorite videos. You should check out her song "Backlight" of you have not heard it.
I'm happy you changed, they way you were acting in the Irish people try African food was horrible. I have never in my life seen someone act so annoying
Loved your reaction and thank you for uploading this reaction so quick❤

Yeah Chan wrote the second verse but he also made the topline of the second verse. Hyunjin's version just didn't have the second part ❤
@@tapioooca5182 Ah ok, thank you. I forgot about that🐱

Whole album is a FIRE! 🔥🔥🔥 especially Megaverse and LALALALA (Rock Version)

5 star makes you think this is the best it can get and then they released this. wow just WOW
also i love seungmin's high note in cover me, he actually did it in one-take!
Shoosh in Korean sounds like the word shit if I'm not mistaken. This album is sooooo gooood
Amazing!! What a good play on words!

Whole album was Soo good 🔥
Cover me, Comflex and Megaverse are my favourites. I think Cover me is one of their best ballads ♥️
Cover Me was written by Hyunjin and Chan
Girl it happened the same way to you it happened to me! I thought the first one i heard was Innie until i got down to the rock version and i could hear Felix better! And I was like WAIT A MINUTE. lol
I love this album. Cover me and Lalala rock ver are my favs. Oh btw are you going to continue with Attack on Titan?
Yup! Gonna try do full episodes on patreon and then highlights on TH-cam ❤ but may be a weekly upload
I liked the format of the first episode. You just need to get the volume without getting copyright sorted. ❣❣@@PaganReacts
@@gaearin1662 yeah that’s the challenge
Hopefully it works. I can mod the comments for you if you want. Unless you plan on not reading the comments.@@PaganReacts
you should watch the album intro of this there they explain the songs😊❤ love this album❤.
Absolutely! Great idea! ❤

Omg I kinda wish they did just allow stray kids to swear though 😂 then again this is still such a smart choice by Chan!

That’s absolutely fair! I like the video but it’s very clearly heavy in metaphor and story 🥰 Megaverse is a banger!
Pagan who is your bias
The Aussie line (bang chan and Felix) but honestly they all wreck me daily 😅
The rock version of lalalala is insane, my favorite ever
Soo good !!
Stumbled upon your channel recently and your reaction to Ado is one of my favorite videos. You should check out her song "Backlight" of you have not heard it.
Thank you! ❤️ more Ado coming soon!
Can you react to kimsejeong meet again its song form k drama
Cover me❤❤❤
I'm happy you changed, they way you were acting in the Irish people try African food was horrible. I have never in my life seen someone act so annoying
Wow what a rude comment. I loved everything I tried during the African Food shoot.
