Hi, pre-debut Stay here. JYP's official notice came out on Oct 28th, 2019 citing that he chose to leave the group and end his contract for "personal reasons". No other info has ever been made about it. The bad blood is emotionally based as SKZ were getting ready for their Cle: Levanter comeback and their first world tour. Everything had to get pushed back and all the songs had to be re-recorded as 8. Chan sent a letter out apologizing to Stays because he had always promised that the group would remain as 9 (the "9 or none" phrase had been a calling card since pre-debut during the survival show). So he felt like he had let everyone down when the 9th member left. There were several clips shortly after of the members just being very emotionally drained (Hyunjin was crying during tour because he was afraid Stays would leave). The 9th member has a solo career now, he wasn't blacklisted. I personally don't mess with him or his music as I did feel like he betrayed the group by leaving, but I had good memories when he was around so I just focus on the beautiful family that SKZ are now. The "8 is fate" has become the new calling card, and the members have regularly re-iterated that they are 8 (I mean the album ATE is literally a play on words for that reason) - on purpose that it's the 9th EP and named ATE? Maybe...plus the guys have all re-signed with JYPE so they will continue to be 8 moving forward. They've also re-released nearly every song as an OT8 version now so we don't even have to deal with him on the playlist.
He was also the main vocal and ex sm trainee that didn't debut in nct probably because he didn't meet their visual standards. He was also the oldest and Chan rly counted on him in the vocal department. He was suppose to be a person on whom the maknaes could rely on and learn from. It must have been hard on the vocalists and Han when he left. After that for a while skz were "known" for not having a strong vocal. It was amazing how esp Seungmin and Han stepped up
@@steggin892 right? makes me emotional to see how far they've come and having been there since the beginning! I feel like predebut stays are so few and makes me happy to find more!
@@thatweirdfangirl15 same 🤭🤭 i'm almost always say hi if there a comment that say they are a predebut stay cause yeahh like u said its not that many and i rarely find them,, so hiiiiiiii🤣🤣
LONG STORY SHORT: The member that left is Woojin. He is a soloist now and for the sake of both him and the members it's best to seperate them, no one knows why he left besides for the JYP statement that said 'personal reasons' and none of the members ever talk about him, they only mention how hard of a time 2019 was for them as a group. LONG VERSION: He left randomly due to 'personal reasons' mid comeback preparations in 2019, skz had to delay their comeback and rerecord/rearrange/refilm everything in a rush, that was the levanter album, and whenever they look back on the time theyre all very quiet and sad, they havent mentioned basically anything about it, they dont speak about the member and havent directly done so since he left but, they have made some remarks about how they all felt at the time, chan has made some indirect comments too about feeling 'betrayed' in some earlier lives which a lot of people have taken as a comment regarding Woojin. SKZ also often say how they think 'levanter' is their true beginning, which in many ways is wholesome but does bring ideas that his leaving was not taken well. Both skz and Woojin are better left of not associated with one another and better to just try not to engage with stuff regarding the situation. Tons of Stay at the time that he left were confused and most of them often still talk about how they can see how hard it affected all the members. It's also strange that skz went on to later rerecord previous songs without him, it's not common for companies to do that when a member leaves. Another key thing to mention is that during their first concert as 8, all the members broke down in tears during their ments, Stay have never seen them like that and since then we haven't seen them that distraught. Hyunjin was basically on the floor and begging Stay to not leave and keep supporting skz through the hard times. Even members that rarely cry at concerts were massively affected. If you want reasons for why he left, no one knows exactly, there's speculations but nothing confirmed. There were some strange allegations made against him around a similar time as he left but as far as I'm aware they were proven to be false. Although, if I may add my own thoughs and some extra info, he announced he's joining a new company to debut as a soloist on skz anniversary, and then proceeded to release his fandom name on Stay's birthday. Could be coincidental but yk. Another thing that happened a few months ago was him signing to a different company, releasing a video about an upcoming album which included a weird ass random apology to stay and stray kids (which was deffo way too late and could've been done privately), only to release his new song the day after. It just felt very calculated but yeah. It's normal to be curious or to make assumptions but it's best to not really be vocal about them as there's a lot of people who either are extremely hateful to him or the skz members. WJ gets a lot of hate and since we don't know what happened I don't think it's fair to start the hate train. Best to ignore him and focus on SKZ. :)
I think skz’s debut day and stays debut day has significance to him too considering he was apart of the group. ( ofc I can see why stays would be mad ) He had one apology in 2019 ( which no one mentions for some reason ) in his goodbye letter and decided to apologize again in 2023 because it was his new beginning and he was unfortunately still getting hate for leaving. First thing you see when you open his comments are people calling him a a rapist ( which was proven false )
With his new start he could have made his own days and new beginnings. When he did that, that was the last straw for me. He is shady and calculating and he just needs to make his own stuff separately from Stays and SKZ.
@@LeeKnow3rdEye I can see why you’d be mad about that or think he’s shady for that, but I’m speaking from an objective standpoint on both sides. I can see why he’d choose those dates and I can understand why you’d be mad at him for not choosing new dates. You have no arguments from me here.

Lol He became my bias so quick.. it was crazy because at first I had a obsession with Felix and Hyunjin but my eyes just kept going to HAN and how beautifull his face is. Its just the kind of guy where your eyes wander off too. Not alot of people can have that type of attention grabbing feature. He stole my heart in 2 months of knowing stray kids and has been my Ult bias for 5 years. He for me is a way deeper level than just visual and voice. There is just this thing about him.
@@DifferentlyAlike Esosa wait till you watch his fancams(Silent Cry the best). Make sure to watch 'never ending story', there is no mv just performance. the vocals there for Han and Seungmin(chefs kiss)
@DifferentlyAlike yall are awesome BTW. Cracking me up, ALSO, you both are going to DIE while watching Changbin, Chan, and I.N. solo stages.. I was at a loss for words.
Still figuring out why some of their btracks arent rerecorded, like 3rd eye and Hero's soup. They removed his written verses on their mixtapes, so it doesnt seem to be about him cowriting the nonre-recorded songs.
@nivgnan2722 oh snap, I missed that ☠️ i suppose it's actually 4419 and Glow in their Mixtapes that they didnt also touch (for school life, i kinda understand)
y’alls skz reactions are one of the only things getting me through my post concert depression rn after seeing them nearly a week ago 😭😭🫶🏼 edit: also can confirm district 9 goes STUPID live omg
oh my GOD they’re the most incredible group live like genuinely no one even comes close 😭😭 also i’ll sell my soul for y’all to react to their solo stages from this tour though (especially chan’s) 💀
Esosa is having the same problem with Han as Özlem with Minho. They’re like. Noooooo, he’s not my biass, then they’re screaming and kicking their feet after watching any escene of them 🤣
Stray Kids was a 9-member group when they debuted, with Woojin being the eldest until he left in 2019 for unknown reasons. Love U girls 🫶🏼 You should react to Levanter and Spreading my Wings (this songs are from the beginning of Stray Kids)
No because I completely understand the feeling that Esosa gets when she sees Han, he is my most favorite kpop idol ever. When I got into stray kids I could never not smile and be happy when Han shows up on screen he delivers his lines sooo well and his personality is to die for he’s soo freaking adorable I love him sm!! And also there is Minsung, Minho and Han. But also if you didn’t know Han and Felix are known as the sunshine twins.
29:26 yess, you noticed it... HAN energy is one of many reasons why he stand out & got my attention the most and became my ult bias for 3 years... Not to mention his ACE allrounder thing, rap vocal dance skill on high level... For me, he has the best stage presence/facial expression... Please react to his lee mujin service episode, he also did freestyle rap, he's one of the best freestyle rapper... Lee know, seungmin, i.n also on it...
I'm the happiest stay ever rn and I'm sooooo excited for more stray kids content since y'all are my fav reactors with my fav group ughhh . Between just wanted to say thanks for everything you're trying to do , i know it must be a lot of things maybe also overwhelming with the other groups you have to react to so yeah but love y'all 🤍
I think skz did what other groups are afraid/or can’t do when a member leaves the group & I honestly admire them for that. If other groups had the chance I’d think they’d re-record their discography too. It was a harsh time, so I suggest you find someone who talked about the situation without bias.
as a predebut stay, I get so hyped and emotional to see newer stays getting into them and checking out their stuff! I appreciate your dedication and willingness to try and get into everything they've released!
I'm honesly discovering them with you. I sure know a lot of things about Stray Kids and i know many of their songs but again their work is HUGE so some of thir earlier stuff, i'm about to learn with you! Thank you for your company in my journey
With woojin there was rumors that end of being false and I think that was after he left but he left for personal reasons we don’t know why. And he isn’t black listed but he just doesn’t have a big fan base but he’s a solo artist now
Agreed. I think he just didn't want to go in the same direction as Stray Kids were going. His solo music is very different. We all make decisions when we're young that we regret doing the way we did, so I don't think folks shouldn't still be holding animosity. Life's like that and I think everyone's in the place they need to be now 😊
Voices was the first ever skz song i heard of theirs. That time, I didn't know K-pop at all, but when I heard this song, I literally broke down and was on repeat for days, then went on to check more of their songs and to my amazement their songs just resonated so much with me then. Fast forward to 8 months later, I went on to find out more of who they were on youtube and finally put some faces on those voices I've been listening to all these months. Side effects tho, cemented me, a true fan, that song to this day is THE best one and I wish I could listen to it for the first time again a true out-of- body experience listening to that song. Also, I was more mind blown at the fact that when I finally read the english lyrics of the songs months later, I already understood the songs. Their music truly speaks to people who really need it.
@@DifferentlyAlike they both trigger my cuteness aggression (it's the cheekies!), are super affectionate, are hilarious moodmakers AND are insanely talented and creative in so many areas and have stage presence for dayssss. bet you can't tell who my ults are 😅
I love this series because I’m a newer stay and I never really went back to there older music. Thank you for helping me discover more SKZ!!! M.A.I is definitely a new fav!!!!
The member who left the group is Woojin He left the band, Ripped his contract with the company and did not explain the reason why he left He left them during their upcoming album (comeback) The guys had to reshoot music videos, redo choreographies, re-record songs within a month. They were so tired to do all of these things in the shortest possible time. A lot of "stays" left the Fandom because Woojin left. Hyunjin later cried at their first eight-piece concert and begged fans not to leave them.
it was a rlly hard time so whenever we see him on mvs he's kinda like the dark sheep 😭😭 he had a lot of rumors and false accusations of SA and many more but it was proven false so there's no specific reason to his exit but bang chan went live on that time and talked about how if u promise ppl something u have to do and a lot of personal stuff and at the end he added "stays know who im talking about" so the fandom kinda has bad blood against him so they blurry him or censor in mv, compilation and etc! he apologized for leaving but never said anything more and yeah they have ot8 versions of everything! he rlly left at the worst time tbh😭
@@-bubwaloo-6612 he apologized after 5 years after leaving. I don't like that he left so much work for the boys. I am so sorry that the members had to endure so much haters and hard work during this difficult time for them. And I'm glad what they've come to now and how many loving fans they have now🥰
That was so enjoyable to watch, omg! It's impossible not to adore your sincerity, your obvious desire to learn more, to hear more. Even in the guide, you didn't just study the information - you read it with such attention that you even asked for details in the comments. You watched every MV with interest in every minute; with interest in the members, in their voices, in their songs. Your emotions are so open, you are one of those rare reactors who I really wish would have viewed every possible MV and content. Also, you're so comfortable, I swear! Sometimes I felt like I was just watching all these videos with you instead of just watching you reacting. I do really hope your interest in this group doesn't wane and we see more content like this. Thanks for another great reaction!
I love the street version of their songs, are so much fun! I'm loving your journey with Stray Kids I'm feeling so nostalgic 😭 it reminds me of the time I was discovering them ❤
My favorite OT8 version of My Pace is from the Hi-Stay Japan concert. If i remember correctly it was their first big concert with only 8 members and they killed it!
These last 3 days have been so fun. My week has been tough so these SKZ videos of yours have literally made my week tolerable...lol Thank you and I cant wait for more.
If Esosa will bias was Han and Ozlem bias was Lee know which what she said, this channel will the first MINSUNG BIASES, even their color was a symbol of Wants so bad which is the minsung color (green & pink)symbol. Oh i love this. God bless for the both of you. By the way I'm always smiling when Esosa keep praising Han. Thank you ❤❤❤
New to your channel and absolutely loving you girlies and your reactions. Really feel like I'm enjoying Stray Kids with some friends! Since you asked about OT8 versions of songs from when there are 9 members, both Voices and Boxer have performance videos that are OT8 and I would definitely recommend them, especially the voices one. Super excited to watch your Stray Kids journey and welcome to Stayville Baby Stays!
Really enjoying these!! There's so many SKZ performances and videos that I haven't watched so I'm glad to be able to watch them with y'all! They are hella talented
I’M SO BEHIND BUT OMG I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE DOING A SKZ DEEP DIVE 🤩🤩 it’s so fun seeing others discover SKZ fully for the first time ❤️🔥 glad you’re both having fun 🫶🏽
The craziest thing about the Woojin situation is those SA claims were in retaliation to him leaving the group. I wonder what goes through peoples head to try and ruin someone’s life like that. So yeah some stays were mad about that rumor + him leaving the way he did right before a comeback ( which is valid ). It’s been 6 years now and I would hope everyone is over it now
Idk about the SA rumors but I know some ppl still dislike him because they think he used SKZs success and milestones to drop comebacks, teasers and mini documentaries promoting himself. There is still animosity.
@ besides the stuff on Skz’s debut date and stays debut date ( which holds meaning to him as well ) I can definitely see his small company taking advantage of skz’s success, which is understandable for stays to be mad at. Idk if the constant harassment is valid tho, especially considering we always claim that we “don’t care about him” but if you check his comments … anyways stays should just ignore him
that's my biggest problem with some stays. i was obviously very mad when he left, and i stayed mad for maybe a year. after that, i just forgot about him. i don't see why they need to hate on him anymore? i got over it, skz is successful, woojin is a soloist, why keep a grudge?
by the way you two picked the perfect 2 biases 😝 there is something called 'minsung' in skz haha its basically jisung and Lino as soulmates (their words not mine) 🤷🏻♀️ they act SO couple-y 😂
I’m so glad you’re watching the street versions they’re soooo much fun I really can’t with them 😂 I hope you’ll continue watching street mv’s for the other ones too!!
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. It's been so long since I listened to some of these songs, that I forgot how much I love them, not actually a stay but I've listening to them since the beginning and rooting for them because they deserve it.
you don't have to ignore Woojin, don't worry, he wasn't a bad person. its just that he left so suddenly that a lot of people felt really betrayed bc it happened out of the blue and a lot of work had to be put in to fix things. he was one of my favourite voices in the group so thats why i dont like to diminish him completely, it kind of feels weird that people want to act like he wasn't there. he also worked hard to get there but he left without feeling the need to explain or apologize. anyways, he didn't do anything criminal, he just made a selfish decision that hurt the group and the fans. So y'all can still enjoy the old music without feeling iffy :)
I know. I understand the pain the members must have felt when he left but Some stays they just take it way to far like even after the SA allegations where confirmed to be Fake and made by Anti Fans in Brazil it really is sickening how some Stays will go to his Instagram and still hate on him and even comment they waited until he left to become stays because they didn't like his visuals and still treat him like a Criminal, Like yeah Stray Kids at 8 now but leave the man alone now. Also he explained over the years before he officially apologies to the members, that he was in a very negative and dark emotional place, like when it was revealed that JYP had him on a corn only Diet and not the other members just because fans weren't happy with his looks in the group. I am glad that he put his health and well being first as I have seen to many Idols over the past 7 years keep it bottled up and lead to hurt and pain, felt bad for the rest of the members though. I have been a Stay since Jun 2018 and Woojin was my Bias (Still is but as a Soloist) with Seungmin (My current Bias) and Felix always fight for Bias Wrecker for me back then. Still support both and Woojin is now under SM which seems like it was meant to be he was originally an SM trainee so.
24:54 Yes, there is an entire album of Ot8 versions of their songs its under 'Skz2020' and 'skz2021'. Some songs, dont have Ot8 versions, but most of them do!
Hey guys❤ I want to say thank you for all these SKZ reactions. It literally brings so much memories back. I became a Stay during Levanter era and everything was a little chaotic but they became my safe place for a longggg time, especially my little Hyunjin. Watching this now, being also a Carat and Seventeen being my ult group, it brought me into tears. I don’t follow SKZ as much I used since SVT became my everything but watching your journey it made realized how I miss them (or maybe miss old times were life was simpler and happier for me). Voices was and still my favorite SKZ song. Hearing it and reading the lyrics after a long time, made realized how I have being able to kinda shot down those mean voices in my head and how that song was my company through tough times. Anyway hahaha I’m enjoying this re-journey (for me) with you guys🫶🏻💘
Every time i watch someone deep-diving into skz, the woojin "talk" is what I fear the most because of the misinformation and plain hate that I know the comments will be filled with. Some stays never waste a chance to paint him as a bad person for reasons that are entirely subjective to their own feelings. Yes, him leaving caused the members to be emotionally distraught for the obvious reasons (them being overworked tho was not woojin's fault, the company should have handled all of this better from him leaving to the group to their schedule), HOWEVER what most forget is that it was tough for woojin too, he didn't wake up one morning and told the company "bye I'm leaving", he opened up many times about those times where he even thought about quitting music altogether (and if you know a bit about woojin you know how he LOVES singing). Both parties were hurt and BOTH of their feelings should be respected without the need to villanize one of the parties involved. Anyway I always encourage people to NOT trust what they read and try to inform themselves from official and reliable sources which yt/twt/tt/insta comments and posts are NOT, to form their own opinion. Btw you should definitely check out woojin solo stuff, it's really good and I believe you both would enjoy it!
I think I understood what she was saying at the end. They definitely have too many songs for all of them to be on there, like they have solos and duets, and even just side group projects that aren’t attached to any albums. but you guys can always check out the “skz-record”s in their skz-replay playlist on their channel, which has all those songs. They’re soooo good and it’s like the members’ chance to express themselves creatively in their own ways, all the songs are amazing.
I LOVEEE the Seungmin's voice appreciation 😍, like he was that good since the start and has improved so much more ❤. Also you being shocked at the talent they all have since they were so young is so real, and lets not forget all this songs where written and composed by 3racha and some even arranged by Bang Chan (M.I.A is one of those), like that is insaneee, they where 17 - 20. And we know they mean everything they sing because it's their words.
Wow you are watching from the start😃 This is great cuz you'll notice their improvements...also You need to check bsides aswell specially after go live album Go live, go life, noeasy, christmas evel, oddinary, maxident, skz records(solos), 5star, the sound, rockstar, Ate (Every bside is amazing in these albums) Albums before go live are great aswell but I think you'll watch them cuz theya have mv
I am also a baby stay and I just found your channel. I love your reactions already and I am currently watching this series instead of studying. As a Minsung stan I can‘t wait for your reactions to their moments and Want so bad. Also, I‘m from Germany and until now I didn‘t see the shirt in My Pace, so thank you for noticing this!
Woojin technicly left Stray Kids for 'personal reasons', its not really clear what exactly happened, though there was a huge scandal around him a little later, but it wasnt related to his departure from the group
A scandal that was proven to be false, and a scandal that made people tell the man to off himself, and to this day stays are childish and when posting stuff he was in censor his face He is innocent and still receives death threats and hate
@cryfly1 true, i feel genuinelly bad for him, it still blows my mind how cruel and toxic people can get over unproven rumors and ruin someones lifes over sth thats completly not true

SERIOUSLY GIRL🥹
SAME
SAAAAME
girl once you listen to Han's solos and watch his silent cry fancam it's over😭
he will always be that member who is secretly everybody's bias🎀
True, really all of my friends have their own bias but when the question is who's their bias wrecker they will always Han❤
I need a softboi emo rock album from Han ASAP
being wrecked by han, ozlem bias is lee know, let's wait for her to discover minsung 😊
@@scr0708 waiting for that 😂,
Lol He became my bias so quick.. it was crazy because at first I had a obsession with Felix and Hyunjin but my eyes just kept going to HAN and how beautifull his face is. Its just the kind of guy where your eyes wander off too. Not alot of people can have that type of attention grabbing feature. He stole my heart in 2 months of knowing stray kids and has been my Ult bias for 5 years. He for me is a way deeper level than just visual and voice. There is just this thing about him.
I LOVE SEEING HAN BIASES TURN INTO HAN BIASES 🤭🤭🤭
LMAAOOO
@@DifferentlyAlike Esosa wait till you watch his fancams(Silent Cry the best). Make sure to watch 'never ending story', there is no mv just performance. the vocals there for Han and Seungmin(chefs kiss)
@@ccam4538Oh my goodness yes! I can’t wait!
MINSUNG STANS OMG
I love that Esosa keeps saying "youre in trouble" when shes in as much trouble as her. Lmao
I gotta deflect you know Lee know
@DifferentlyAlike yall are awesome BTW. Cracking me up, ALSO, you both are going to DIE while watching Changbin, Chan, and I.N. solo stages.. I was at a loss for words.
1:16:59 that’s actually real, bang chan accidentally kicked the camera but the editors thought it fit in so they didn’t cut it 😭
Han will 100% be in your bias list
yes there are ot8 versions of all their songs, they re-recorded them on their SKZ2020 and SKZ2021 albums
adding to this there are also ot8 versions on the skz2021
Still figuring out why some of their btracks arent rerecorded, like 3rd eye and Hero's soup. They removed his written verses on their mixtapes, so it doesnt seem to be about him cowriting the nonre-recorded songs.
@@rhedonlyrhed9155 you're right that they didn't rerecord hero's soup but they did rerecord 3rd eye in skz2021 !!!!!
@nivgnan2722 oh snap, I missed that ☠️ i suppose it's actually 4419 and Glow in their Mixtapes that they didnt also touch (for school life, i kinda understand)
@ yeah like quite a few songs from the predebut mixtape and then hero's soup for some reason just never got re-recorded 😭
y’alls skz reactions are one of the only things getting me through my post concert depression rn after seeing them nearly a week ago 😭😭🫶🏼
edit: also can confirm district 9 goes STUPID live omg
TELL US EVERYTHING
oh my GOD they’re the most incredible group live like genuinely no one even comes close 😭😭 also i’ll sell my soul for y’all to react to their solo stages from this tour though (especially chan’s) 💀
All in due time hehe
This is getting me through my regular depression lol
THE REACTION TO QUESTION WAS SO REAL those no-budget videos full of personality have my entire heart
Esosa is having the same problem with Han as Özlem with Minho. They’re like. Noooooo, he’s not my biass, then they’re screaming and kicking their feet after watching any escene of them 🤣
Stray Kids was a 9-member group when they debuted, with Woojin being the eldest until he left in 2019 for unknown reasons. Love U girls 🫶🏼
You should react to Levanter and Spreading my Wings (this songs are from the beginning of Stray Kids)
No because I completely understand the feeling that Esosa gets when she sees Han, he is my most favorite kpop idol ever. When I got into stray kids I could never not smile and be happy when Han shows up on screen he delivers his lines sooo well and his personality is to die for he’s soo freaking adorable I love him sm!! And also there is Minsung, Minho and Han. But also if you didn’t know Han and Felix are known as the sunshine twins.
29:26 yess, you noticed it... HAN energy is one of many reasons why he stand out & got my attention the most and became my ult bias for 3 years... Not to mention his ACE allrounder thing, rap vocal dance skill on high level... For me, he has the best stage presence/facial expression...
Please react to his lee mujin service episode, he also did freestyle rap, he's one of the best freestyle rapper... Lee know, seungmin, i.n also on it...
I'm the happiest stay ever rn and I'm sooooo excited for more stray kids content since y'all are my fav reactors with my fav group ughhh .
Between just wanted to say thanks for everything you're trying to do , i know it must be a lot of things maybe also overwhelming with the other groups you have to react to so yeah but love y'all 🤍
Thank you 🥺🥺🖤🖤
I think skz did what other groups are afraid/or can’t do when a member leaves the group & I honestly admire them for that. If other groups had the chance I’d think they’d re-record their discography too. It was a harsh time, so I suggest you find someone who talked about the situation without bias.
Like nmixx always looks so uncomfortable when jinni’s lines in songs comes on during lives. I wish they were able to re-record as well
I love you for loving Han so much. He is my ult bias and seeing people praising him makes me so happy!
They made an amazing OT8 performance vid for Voices. That's another must-watch performance you can't miss!
As a Lee Know ult, I’m living for Ozlem’s reactions because girl, SAMEEEEE.
Btw, this series is already so fun!! Thank you for doing this 🖤
i'm so excited for their stray kids discovery .they will be shocked of how young and cute the boys look in this video .
as an M.I.A truther, I have been ADVOCATING that it's one of their best songs, and I'm sooo glad you see it. Loving the series!
After watching their debut survival show, you'll be much immersed in Hellevator and sound different 😭😭
This is the best… watching you both fall in love with every member.
you are sooo rightt distcrict 9 does indeed go super hard at concerts! its one of my fav performances from when I saw them live
as a predebut stay, I get so hyped and emotional to see newer stays getting into them and checking out their stuff! I appreciate your dedication and willingness to try and get into everything they've released!
OMG so excited they're all amazing songs 😭
Their street MVs are truly treasures
I'm honesly discovering them with you. I sure know a lot of things about Stray Kids and i know many of their songs but again their work is HUGE so some of thir earlier stuff, i'm about to learn with you! Thank you for your company in my journey
With woojin there was rumors that end of being false and I think that was after he left but he left for personal reasons we don’t know why. And he isn’t black listed but he just doesn’t have a big fan base but he’s a solo artist now
Agreed. I think he just didn't want to go in the same direction as Stray Kids were going. His solo music is very different. We all make decisions when we're young that we regret doing the way we did, so I don't think folks shouldn't still be holding animosity. Life's like that and I think everyone's in the place they need to be now 😊
Esosa the Han skzplayer solo songs are going to ruin your life 😭 hanpop is IT
@@common_trash truly dear.
The street version music videos are hands down my favorites. They are all absolutely chaotic and I love it!
Voices was the first ever skz song i heard of theirs. That time, I didn't know K-pop at all, but when I heard this song, I literally broke down and was on repeat for days, then went on to check more of their songs and to my amazement their songs just resonated so much with me then. Fast forward to 8 months later, I went on to find out more of who they were on youtube and finally put some faces on those voices I've been listening to all these months. Side effects tho, cemented me, a true fan, that song to this day is THE best one and I wish I could listen to it for the first time again a true out-of- body experience listening to that song. Also, I was more mind blown at the fact that when I finally read the english lyrics of the songs months later, I already understood the songs. Their music truly speaks to people who really need it.
esosa, as a dedicated horangdan you appreciating han so much makes a lot of sense. they have such similar vibes 😂
👀👀 tell me more
@@DifferentlyAlike they both trigger my cuteness aggression (it's the cheekies!), are super affectionate, are hilarious moodmakers AND are insanely talented and creative in so many areas and have stage presence for dayssss. bet you can't tell who my ults are 😅
Not us both having a type 😭😔🤞🏾
MIA was the song that got me into Stray Kids, knew nothing about them before, I was new in kpop. I heard Han's rap and I was hooked!
I love this series because I’m a newer stay and I never really went back to there older music. Thank you for helping me discover more SKZ!!! M.A.I is definitely a new fav!!!!
The member who left the group is Woojin
He left the band, Ripped his contract with the company and did not explain the reason why he left
He left them during their upcoming album (comeback)
The guys had to reshoot music videos, redo choreographies, re-record songs within a month.
They were so tired to do all of these things in the shortest possible time.
A lot of "stays" left the Fandom because Woojin left.
Hyunjin later cried at their first eight-piece concert and begged fans not to leave them.
OH GOD DON'T REMIND ME😭😭😭😭
it was a rlly hard time so whenever we see him on mvs he's kinda like the dark sheep 😭😭 he had a lot of rumors and false accusations of SA and many more but it was proven false so there's no specific reason to his exit but bang chan went live on that time and talked about how if u promise ppl something u have to do and a lot of personal stuff and at the end he added "stays know who im talking about" so the fandom kinda has bad blood against him so they blurry him or censor in mv, compilation and etc! he apologized for leaving but never said anything more and yeah they have ot8 versions of everything! he rlly left at the worst time tbh😭
@@-bubwaloo-6612 he apologized after 5 years after leaving. I don't like that he left so much work for the boys.
I am so sorry that the members had to endure so much haters and hard work during this difficult time for them.
And I'm glad what they've come to now and how many loving fans they have now🥰
@@-bubwaloo-6612 agree with you.
Well we don’t know the reason but skz do
man i cant wait for you to watch funny videos 😂 they're SO chaotic hahahahaha
they have so many legendary memes 😂
That was so enjoyable to watch, omg! It's impossible not to adore your sincerity, your obvious desire to learn more, to hear more. Even in the guide, you didn't just study the information - you read it with such attention that you even asked for details in the comments. You watched every MV with interest in every minute; with interest in the members, in their voices, in their songs. Your emotions are so open, you are one of those rare reactors who I really wish would have viewed every possible MV and content. Also, you're so comfortable, I swear! Sometimes I felt like I was just watching all these videos with you instead of just watching you reacting. I do really hope your interest in this group doesn't wane and we see more content like this. Thanks for another great reaction!
Woojin was not expelled, he only left for personal reasons and is now pursuing a solo career.
omg i'm so excited for this, day1 and day2 has been soo good thank you for reacting to straykids, love from all STAY!
25:59 His perfomance in kingdom was like freaking magnificent!!!
He sang IU's "Love poem" with BTOB Eunkwang and Ateez Jongho
Everyone was shocked!!
I love the street version of their songs, are so much fun!
I'm loving your journey with Stray Kids I'm feeling so nostalgic 😭 it reminds me of the time I was discovering them ❤
Everytime Lee Know appears Ozlem's reaction is just ❤❤😂😂
All their street versions are amazing
My favorite OT8 version of My Pace is from the Hi-Stay Japan concert. If i remember correctly it was their first big concert with only 8 members and they killed it!
These last 3 days have been so fun. My week has been tough so these SKZ videos of yours have literally made my week tolerable...lol
Thank you and I cant wait for more.
If Esosa will bias was Han and Ozlem bias was Lee know which what she said, this channel will the first MINSUNG BIASES, even their color was a symbol of Wants so bad which is the minsung color (green & pink)symbol. Oh i love this. God bless for the both of you.
By the way I'm always smiling when Esosa keep praising Han. Thank you ❤❤❤
Esosa biases bang Chan and han and ozlem bias Lee know (and maybe I.N)
Naww They already Divy Up the Group!!!
Essay Biased 3Racha+Suengmin 😂😂
Ozlem Baised DanceRacha+IN😂😂
@@Aliya_know09 i really hope that will be.
@@goddessleo7872 yes, but still hoping hehehe. But still okay if they will be OT8.
@@goddessleo7872their reaction to out baby bread was so real! STAYs forever baby, Innie 😊
New to your channel and absolutely loving you girlies and your reactions. Really feel like I'm enjoying Stray Kids with some friends! Since you asked about OT8 versions of songs from when there are 9 members, both Voices and Boxer have performance videos that are OT8 and I would definitely recommend them, especially the voices one. Super excited to watch your Stray Kids journey and welcome to Stayville Baby Stays!
Really enjoying these!! There's so many SKZ performances and videos that I haven't watched so I'm glad to be able to watch them with y'all! They are hella talented
"8 is fate" is a popular sentence among Stay, often said by Chan and the members themselves. Just leaving it here.
I literally come to TH-cam just to see if you uploaded anything about stray kids, im living for these series.
Disrict 9 is such an important song for me personally that's why I have got me a district 9 tattoo.❤ love your content
I’M SO BEHIND BUT OMG I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE DOING A SKZ DEEP DIVE 🤩🤩 it’s so fun seeing others discover SKZ fully for the first time ❤️🔥 glad you’re both having fun 🫶🏽
It was great, fun and interesting! I will be happy to continue following your dive into Stray Kids Megaverse.
Watching these past few videos has allowed me to experience find SKZ all over again, thank you for allowing us to go on your journey with you ❣️
The craziest thing about the Woojin situation is those SA claims were in retaliation to him leaving the group. I wonder what goes through peoples head to try and ruin someone’s life like that. So yeah some stays were mad about that rumor + him leaving the way he did right before a comeback ( which is valid ). It’s been 6 years now and I would hope everyone is over it now
Idk about the SA rumors but I know some ppl still dislike him because they think he used SKZs success and milestones to drop comebacks, teasers and mini documentaries promoting himself. There is still animosity.
@ besides the stuff on Skz’s debut date and stays debut date ( which holds meaning to him as well ) I can definitely see his small company taking advantage of skz’s success, which is understandable for stays to be mad at. Idk if the constant harassment is valid tho, especially considering we always claim that we “don’t care about him” but if you check his comments … anyways stays should just ignore him
that's my biggest problem with some stays. i was obviously very mad when he left, and i stayed mad for maybe a year. after that, i just forgot about him. i don't see why they need to hate on him anymore? i got over it, skz is successful, woojin is a soloist, why keep a grudge?
Those claims were false and made after he left because those “stays” are shitty people.
OMMGG I CANT WAIT i just finished watching the day 2 vid!!! perfect timing
by the way you two picked the perfect 2 biases 😝 there is something called 'minsung' in skz haha
its basically jisung and Lino as soulmates (their words not mine) 🤷🏻♀️ they act SO couple-y 😂
I'm so excited ☺️
I’m so glad you’re watching the street versions they’re soooo much fun I really can’t with them 😂 I hope you’ll continue watching street mv’s for the other ones too!!
watching this after studying all day feels like a reward, love you guys❤
CANT WAIT FOR NEXT EPISODE, thank you for make this series
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. It's been so long since I listened to some of these songs, that I forgot how much I love them, not actually a stay but I've listening to them since the beginning and rooting for them because they deserve it.
I've been waiting for my holiday to binge watch this series !!! Love you girls
Stop saying sorry! You are giving stay the ultimate gift of a series of long skz journey videos 😂❤
you don't have to ignore Woojin, don't worry, he wasn't a bad person. its just that he left so suddenly that a lot of people felt really betrayed bc it happened out of the blue and a lot of work had to be put in to fix things. he was one of my favourite voices in the group so thats why i dont like to diminish him completely, it kind of feels weird that people want to act like he wasn't there. he also worked hard to get there but he left without feeling the need to explain or apologize.
anyways, he didn't do anything criminal, he just made a selfish decision that hurt the group and the fans. So y'all can still enjoy the old music without feeling iffy :)
like fr their faces when woojin singing
I know. I understand the pain the members must have felt when he left but Some stays they just take it way to far like even after the SA allegations where confirmed to be Fake and made by Anti Fans in Brazil it really is sickening how some Stays will go to his Instagram and still hate on him and even comment they waited until he left to become stays because they didn't like his visuals and still treat him like a Criminal, Like yeah Stray Kids at 8 now but leave the man alone now. Also he explained over the years before he officially apologies to the members, that he was in a very negative and dark emotional place, like when it was revealed that JYP had him on a corn only Diet and not the other members just because fans weren't happy with his looks in the group. I am glad that he put his health and well being first as I have seen to many Idols over the past 7 years keep it bottled up and lead to hurt and pain, felt bad for the rest of the members though. I have been a Stay since Jun 2018 and Woojin was my Bias (Still is but as a Soloist) with Seungmin (My current Bias) and Felix always fight for Bias Wrecker for me back then. Still support both and Woojin is now under SM which seems like it was meant to be he was originally an SM trainee so.
Exactly lol!! Can’t deny his talent, it’s not a crime to enjoy his parts lol.
I feel like the Stray kids survival show is a must for all baby stays
Wow everyone must suffer huh 😩
@@DifferentlyAlike it’s hard but necessary because it gives so much context and understanding of where everyone came from
24:54 Yes, there is an entire album of Ot8 versions of their songs its under 'Skz2020' and 'skz2021'. Some songs, dont have Ot8 versions, but most of them do!
Yeah, there're very few non OT8 songs like Heroe's Soup 😭😭
@mariastaylor omg Hero's soup is a complete hidden gem. i love it so much 🙌💓
Hey guys❤ I want to say thank you for all these SKZ reactions. It literally brings so much memories back. I became a Stay during Levanter era and everything was a little chaotic but they became my safe place for a longggg time, especially my little Hyunjin. Watching this now, being also a Carat and Seventeen being my ult group, it brought me into tears. I don’t follow SKZ as much I used since SVT became my everything but watching your journey it made realized how I miss them (or maybe miss old times were life was simpler and happier for me).
Voices was and still my favorite SKZ song. Hearing it and reading the lyrics after a long time, made realized how I have being able to kinda shot down those mean voices in my head and how that song was my company through tough times.
Anyway hahaha I’m enjoying this re-journey (for me) with you guys🫶🏻💘
Ozlem gagging over Lee Know is so cute ❤😂
They did District 9 and My Pace at their Sydney concert last weekend. Such energy. And yes, the solos are something else. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Is this every day? I love watching baby Stays fall in love with SKZ
GOING BACK AND WATCHING ALL OF THIS SERIESSS!!
thank for appreciating seungmin's vocal. 😊
Your videos in this near future will be the reason i wake up every morning because I'm so excited to watch you in this stray kids journey ❤
Every time i watch someone deep-diving into skz, the woojin "talk" is what I fear the most because of the misinformation and plain hate that I know the comments will be filled with. Some stays never waste a chance to paint him as a bad person for reasons that are entirely subjective to their own feelings. Yes, him leaving caused the members to be emotionally distraught for the obvious reasons (them being overworked tho was not woojin's fault, the company should have handled all of this better from him leaving to the group to their schedule), HOWEVER what most forget is that it was tough for woojin too, he didn't wake up one morning and told the company "bye I'm leaving", he opened up many times about those times where he even thought about quitting music altogether (and if you know a bit about woojin you know how he LOVES singing). Both parties were hurt and BOTH of their feelings should be respected without the need to villanize one of the parties involved.
Anyway I always encourage people to NOT trust what they read and try to inform themselves from official and reliable sources which yt/twt/tt/insta comments and posts are NOT, to form their own opinion. Btw you should definitely check out woojin solo stuff, it's really good and I believe you both would enjoy it!
Thank you so much, its so disheartening how this man is the punching bag for this fandom.
This!!
I think I understood what she was saying at the end. They definitely have too many songs for all of them to be on there, like they have solos and duets, and even just side group projects that aren’t attached to any albums. but you guys can always check out the “skz-record”s in their skz-replay playlist on their channel, which has all those songs. They’re soooo good and it’s like the members’ chance to express themselves creatively in their own ways, all the songs are amazing.
Since Lee Know and Han are my biases, yall are my new favorite channel lol
Also, Han being an orange cat is on point 😂
Nah cuz going through this series with y’all feels like a baby stay again🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹love y’all💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
im so excited for the next video
SKZ will always be 9 for me
I LOVEEE the Seungmin's voice appreciation 😍, like he was that good since the start and has improved so much more ❤. Also you being shocked at the talent they all have since they were so young is so real, and lets not forget all this songs where written and composed by 3racha and some even arranged by Bang Chan (M.I.A is one of those), like that is insaneee, they where 17 - 20. And we know they mean everything they sing because it's their words.
Yay Minsung Stans ❤😂
I’m so glad someone loves Question as much as I do!!

@@DifferentlyAlike Thank you! 💗
Woojin technicly left Stray Kids for 'personal reasons', its not really clear what exactly happened, though there was a huge scandal around him a little later, but it wasnt related to his departure from the group
A scandal that was proven to be false, and a scandal that made people tell the man to off himself, and to this day stays are childish and when posting stuff he was in censor his face
He is innocent and still receives death threats and hate
@cryfly1 true, i feel genuinelly bad for him, it still blows my mind how cruel and toxic people can get over unproven rumors and ruin someones lifes over sth thats completly not true
