Dang unfortunate that we didn't get a performance where you could hear stays chant GABOJAGO in the beginning, it was so iconic in that era and still is haha
Long time subscriber here and loving all the Stray Kids reactions. I especially have to compliment you on how you've laid out the screen, clustering yourselves to the left for the reaction. I've never seen that before.
@@FlynnTheRedhead I watch a lot of reaction stuff (probably too much) and it's really well done. Best I've seen. Making sure everyone is clear and big in the screen while also keeping the thing they are reacting too nice and big on screen is a great accomplishment. So many reaction videos either have the reactors too small or the video too small or obscured but this is a great balance of both.
Hi Stray Kids 60 year old fan here!! Love your reactions and just a little BR on the vid the bus the 3/25 represents their debut. The giants are fear and anxiety that can come from performing the sigil on the wall the ones that disappear are negative emotions the others are joy and positive emotions and the kids are them showing fear starting out but overcoming it all. Thanks for reacting!!
The kids are them at a younger age, fighting through their anxiety and fear to take the stage and perform. The series of movie sets represent things that kids would have in their heads and imaginations, like Pirates of the Caribbean, Mad Max, The Dark Knight, etc. The whole premise of the song is to throw all of it off and feel the music, equating it with joy.
For your own edification, the guys should also listen to "LALALALA (rock version". It's an amazing metal cover that's just wonderful. Highly recommended from this stay.
"Helicopter Head Hyunjin" is great. I love that spot in the choreo because I think it's just him having so much energy! The story behind the song is what y'all said. The "giant monsters" are the fears from performing in public - during the song, they fight all the fears (the written symbols that show then dissolve) until the only symbol remaining is Rock (fun). The pirates, clowns, bank robbers are supposed to be the kids' imaginations helping to fight the fears. The explanation behind "rock" being the last word/emotion is that, in standard SKZ word play fun, ROCK refers to "fun" in Korean. I don't speak Korean, so it's just what I've seen referenced in interviews with SKZ.
The layers of meaning to this song and in the m/v make for a very fun deep dive. There is a lot of word play at work and I absolutely adore the message of using performance and music to both overcome and integrate negative or distracting emotions into the performance in order to achieve your dreams. It is incredibly clever and inspiring!
Well now you have to show him CHK CHK BOOM Lol and have all the clips of the evolution of their friendship!!!! The tweets the interviews the little gifts and messages.... Then if you can squeeze it in SLASH!
That NatGeo clip of Lee Know's "I want to become a singer" caught me off guard right at the beginning. It'll never get old in the fandom. Can't believe Flynn actually included that 😂 I know you guys are hearing and seeing "rock" in the lyrics and they're definitely using that BUT there's some wordplay going on. Stray Kids loves wordplay in their music. It's one of the many things I love about them. I'm not an articulate person but I love this so much that i'm gonna briefly explain: "Rak", which sounds like "rock" can be translated to pleasure and/or joy. You may have noticed giant floating chinese words in the MV. They're 4 human emotions of life: Anger, Happiness, Sadness/Sorrow, and pleasure (rak). The Anger, Happiness, Sadness/Sorrow each disappear one by one throughout the MV and "rak"- pleasure and music - remains at the end of it all. So when they say things like "just feel the rock/rak" they're telling us to put everything else aside and let the music give you pleasure. Felix's deep "lalalala la lalalala" (plus his hand motions) is like they're trying to entrance you into feeling the music.
It’s been great to watch K-pop 101 with you guys but the stray kids reactions have been my favorite so far! It’s so fun to see how much they’re enjoying their music and music videos
Why noone in comment are recommending BIGBANG MAMA Awards Performance?? I bet Jansi knows about it cause even whole Korea community is talking about it for the whole week trending
Awesome reaction and enjoyable! Reminder 3racha are the PRODUCERS. With Bang Chan in the lead as leader of the group and main producer along with Changbin and Han (collectively known as 3Racha). Yes they rap but they’re the producers that do release rap tracks when together (their trio tracks are rap heavy). But in skz everyone is very versatile and Chris is more main vocals with Seungmin and IN. Actually muddy waters is a great song to showcase the “rap line”. Also yes 3Racha is usual always holding a mic. Chris definitely prefers and is holding the mic. These are GREAT reactions!! Here for more Skz. Love it.
This is the song that put Stray Kids on the map for me! I've found so many songs that I love from them that I actually enjoy more than LALALALA, but it will always have special place in my heart because it was my first Stray Kids experience 😊❤
My favorite line from this song is " We dance until we fall" bc they really do. There are so many idols that collapse either during or after performing for pushing themselves so hard, and Straykids is one them❤❤❤❤❤ I feel like a lot of their songs other idols can relate to and makes me happy
I loved how you looked at the music video, a dance practice and a performance but if you want something really fun check out the same songs in the relay videos. I think you will really like them.
It would've been nice if you'd reacted to the ROCK-STAR prologue as well! The LALALALA MV is set directly after it! 10:07 - I.N, Han and Changbin was just a random pairing for center, but there IS a DANCERACHA center moment in the choreo, you can see it at 7:46. 10:29 - Okay, so, 3RACHA was a rap group *before* Stray Kids was formed and before they debuted. Now, as part of SKZ, they are the *producing unit* . The actual rap line is Changbin, Han, Hyunjin and Felix, and the vocal line is Seungmin, I.N, Chan and Lee Know. Of course all members can (and do) rap and sing, but that grouping is how it usually goes. 3RACHA still releases their own songs as a trio and those are rap focused. So yeah, Chan, most often than not, raps on them. 10:49 - The microphone vs headset thing is totally a preference. Predebut, they always practiced and performed with hand-held mics, because they needed to prove they could perform while holding them (there were some incidents where they dropped the mics and there was a bit of drama over it). After they debuted, though, they could perform with whatever option they preferred, and DANCERACHA (and other members!) usually stuck to headsets because it makes dancing easier. Over time that changed, but it truly is just a matter of what they're most comfortable with. Felix, for example, just recently started performing with a hand-held mic but if he wants to focus more on the choreo he uses a headset.
5:31 for me, the song presents childhood fantasies and overcoming stage fright, amongst a few other hidden or more deeper messages... That's the message I got from the very 1st view until now.. don't know why most people don't pick on such an obvious message... Or I might be wrong all together 😂😂😂
3Racha (Bang Chan, Changbin, Han) was a rap group (they never officially debuted) before Chan formed Stray Kids. They have their own TH-cam channel with 36 tracks on it that are pre Stray Kids. Where Skz is concerned however, 3Racha is the writing and producing unit. The actual rap line is... Changbin, Han, Hyunjin and Felix Vocal line.... Bang Chan, Lee Know, Seungmin, I.N Though keep in mind the rappers can sing and the singers can rap.
The mic is a personal preference. 3Racha, Hyunjin and Seungmin prefer hand-held mics. Lee Know also uses a handheld mic now while IN and Felix usually go for the head mics
the handheld vs headset mics are all preference based most, if not all the time. You will almost always catch Han and changbin having handhelds as i would assume they prefer the feel of it as rappers. It brings out more for dictations. Lee Know used to do headset mics but got annoyed one time with it getting in the way of his dancing so he does handhelds now. Hyunjin, Seungmin, and IN prefer handhelds as they sound better vocally, but they will use headset if they need. (Seungmin has also become annoyed with how much the headset ones move.) Felix prefers headset most of the time especially for harder choreos because he likes to immerse himself in the full dance, but he’ll use handheld in songs that don’t require choreo :)
@RORA_RAMI_AHYEON_BABYMONSTER Why do you do this though, it makes the comment section a mess and it’s so not relevant. You say every member is your favorite, you repaste the same replies with one or two words changed, you give info that no one is asking for
Gotta sneak in a ppop girl group (Bini) reaction! 👀 Cherry on Top is their latest and all English. Salamin Salamin is another banger in the Filipino language and English.
I hope you guys can listen to some of their b-sides... itll show you how versatile this group is. Cover me Youtiful Leave Neverending story Hall of fame Superbowl And a lot more...
Just adding because I add it to everything with the lee know natgeo meme, Minho was dancing to OMG by Usher ft WillIAm lol this MV got us much closer to a skz/ateez collab lmao, ateez are pirates & theyre very close friends staytiny were LIVING also I cant rec the M2 relay dance cos THEY DIDNT DO ONE... just the unofficial one lol
@BlindWave PLEASE DO ATEEZ AFTER THOROUGHLY GOING THROUGH STRAY KIDS FOR AWHILE!! PLEASEE SO STRAY KIDS “CASE 142”, “RED LIGHTS”, “Lose My Breath”, (and of course “ChkChkBoom”!!) they need to see a different sides of them. AND PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SHOW THE GUYS CHANGBIN’S GIRL GROUP CHALLENGE VIDEOS!
id love to see yall do NMIXX, i cant wait to see everyones confusion!!! id choose o.o, dice, love me like this or party o clock, dash and see that for the songs to react to :3
"Any one of these hopefuls could be the next big thing in kpop." LIVES in my mind rent free. Any one indeed...👀
Reminder. 3RACHA is not really a “main rapper” group because BangChan is in the vocal line! But their solo songs are more rap heavy.
3RACHA is the rap subgroup, Bang Chan is vocal in SKZ.
Dang unfortunate that we didn't get a performance where you could hear stays chant GABOJAGO in the beginning, it was so iconic in that era and still is haha
i was thinking the same thing!
Me too, the beginning was cut off unfortunately which is so unique.
No cause I was waiting for it!
I cannot listen to this song without shouting GAAABOOJAAGOO!!!!!!!
Gabojago will never die. We just keep adding it to new songs lol
0:09 “Any one of these hopefuls could be the next big thing in kpop 😼” LMFAOOO 😭😭
LALALALA is one of my favorite SKZ songs. Now I'm just crossing my fingers for Chk Chk Boom next week!!
Yeah I Wish They Did That One Before This One…😂🙄
It is you could see the next one when they went through the facts
Oh my God, yes!!! I could have left earlier 😢
Chk Chk Boom will be their next video of Stray Kids bc it actually shows at 4:18
@@Neeeshaa23 Why is that?
Long time subscriber here and loving all the Stray Kids reactions. I especially have to compliment you on how you've laid out the screen, clustering yourselves to the left for the reaction. I've never seen that before.

Longtime BlindWave subber and longtime stay.. this is still so surreal 😂
Did y'all see the number on the bus the first time you see it? It's got 3-25 on it which is the date they debuts as a group.
Well now you have to show him CHK CHK BOOM
Lol and have all the clips of the evolution of their friendship!!!! The tweets the interviews the little gifts and messages.... Then if you can squeeze it in SLASH!
It’s a pity that we didn’t watch the dance practice itself. This is very epic
Clicked so fast 😂

Don’t worry, Obi, I subscribed for all the Stray Kids content!
So cute.
This era Hyunjin is absolutely insane for me 🥹. His dancing and visuals are always on point!! ❤
It’s been great to watch K-pop 101 with you guys but the stray kids reactions have been my favorite so far! It’s so fun to see how much they’re enjoying their music and music videos
AHHHH THE WOLVERINE TEASE! NO WAY HAHAHAHA
If you really want to deep dive into the meaning of their confusing videos, Bookish Theories is absolutely amazing.
Not Eric giggling at Felix😂
Why noone in comment are recommending BIGBANG MAMA Awards Performance?? I bet Jansi knows about it cause even whole Korea community is talking about it for the whole week trending
6:41 I love this dance, the Felix Effect is always on lol
I’m hoping for Thunderous.
They only do title tracks so we're not getting Thunderous
@@Giveuponyourdreamsanddie2Thunderous is a title track..
@@Giveuponyourdreamsanddie2Oh no, it would be so iconic 😢
@Leidyybug yes it is, my bad but they've already done cheese so we're not getting another Noesy reaction
@ No, they didn’t. We didn’t get a single NOEASY reaction..
The Felix Effect Never Fails 🔥
10:24 they did after Felix's LALALALA going into Hyunjin's rap, that was DanceRacha (Lee Know, Hyunjin and Felix)
Awesome reaction and enjoyable! Reminder 3racha are the PRODUCERS. With Bang Chan in the lead as leader of the group and main producer along with Changbin and Han (collectively known as 3Racha). Yes they rap but they’re the producers that do release rap tracks when together (their trio tracks are rap heavy).

Also yes 3Racha is usual always holding a mic. Chris definitely prefers and is holding the mic. These are GREAT reactions!! Here for more Skz. Love it.
chk chk boom next week and after that they’ll already have title track "walking on the water" for their new comback "hop" out, perfect timing.
This is the song that put Stray Kids on the map for me! I've found so many songs that I love from them that I actually enjoy more than LALALALA, but it will always have special place in my heart because it was my first Stray Kids experience 😊❤

Loving these SKZ reactions!
I feel like you missed on showing them the practice video. The stomping in it is so satisfying. Also the gabojago fanchant is missing here:(
i had a feeling they weren't gonna show one with the fanchant. hearing gabojago makes it so much better
Obi must have magical powers because I subscribed so fast 😂
3racha always use hand microphones :)
Stray kids reactions...I like it......ANOTHER! *smashes mug*
The behind the scenes are great to watch !
Danceracha is in a certain part of the MV together.
13:04 Speaking of anime, LiSA has Felix featured on Reawaker for Solo Leveling Season 2.
5:31 for me, the song presents childhood fantasies and overcoming stage fright, amongst a few other hidden or more deeper messages...
That's the message I got from the very 1st view until now.. don't know why most people don't pick on such an obvious message...
Or I might be wrong all together 😂😂😂
I want the two to appreciate more to other members not only Felix not to be offended my bias Is Felix and Hyunjin

Мощная, заряженная песня, держит в напряжении от начала и до конца, Stray Kids разрывают по полной и завораживают 🔥
Спасибо за реакцию ♥️
FELIX EFFECT 🥵❤
love it, can't wait for another skz react

obi at the end had something to say 😂😂😂😂
That last clip caught me off guard.
Thanks for all of your K-pop reactions ❤ wishing for a Dreamcatcher or Rolling Quartz music video reaction next.
Next megaverse please😢🎉🎉🎉

From my understanding Han had a habit of singing other parts so he uses a mic so it won't pic it up but I am not hundred percent
I just binged all your skz reactions loved them all, hope you can do some Ateez once you're done with them.
I think you'd live their vibe and music😊😊.

Salamin Salamin is another banger in the Filipino language and English.
Plzz react to Hyunjjn's "Motley Crew" performance
Girl is really trying to force their attention to her bias Hyunjin in every video, but the guys are like naaahhhh FELIX!!!
More so than force their attention, it's probably her showing her appreciation for her personal bias.
Not the Giant MV playing!!
