Love to see you connect things together. Lee Know and Jisung are the most popular pairing in the group,even if you dont ship them,because their friendship is so adorable. Cant wait for you also to see more of their shows/videos to know more of their personalities and friendships
We absolutely love watching those two interact!! It’s truly a huge boost of seratonin 🥹🥹 We also can’t wait to watch more of their additional content to learn even more about them 💕
Question is such a special song because that’s usually the song they play before they get on stage for their tour!! It gets everyone hyped and everyone sings along:) if you have free time I’m pretty sure there’s videos on TH-cam of Stay all singing along, it gives me goosebumps every time! I’m pretty sure there’s also a SKZ talker video where they show a clip of SKZ about to go on and they hear Stay singing from backstage. Love the reaction!
They wrote I am YOU for each other and for stays! And yes it's a summary of previous eras as I am YOU was the end of their I AM series "Stay together" "You and I" These can be listened to separately to reference what they want to say to each other. But you can also read it as "Stay, together you and I..." which references what they want to say to stays
Ah, Minsung. They are adorable. Shipping or not, their friendship is goals. I do like to pair off my bias line, Minsung, Minbin, Binsung and Seungbin. 😂
I am You to me sounds like they sing it to each other, because they found people with the same dreams and aspirations in each other and its like a promise to keep on walking and working together for their shared dream. Like a homage to their friendship and teamwork. It would definitly fit the MV as they always appear happier together and when they sing "its to cold to be alone outside" all the members come into the frame...
All these years later Question and Awk. Silence still put a huge stupid grin on my face! I'm thoroughly enjoying rewatching all these mvs with you two!!! 🥰
The question mv is a perfect example of how straykids is in real life. Because they are just a chaotic/weird Family. Minsung ( Minho and Jisung) is just serving in this mv StrayKids has Colours for each of their Alben: I am Not: Red/ Black I am Who: Yellow I am You: Light blue Clé1: Miroh: Red Clé2: Yellow wood: Yellow Clé: Levanter: Blue GO LIVE: Red IN LIFE: Red/White NoEasy: Blue/Grey ODDINARY: Green MAXIDENT: Pink You will see a lot strong Colours in their MVs because its Connected to the Big Storyline they have of being a stray kid, try to love yourself, fears and a lot more. I really love all of your reactions because it reminde me from my start of be a stay in 2017 (pre debut time) and also send you love from Germany💜☺️
I love this chaotic and weird family ❤️ Thank you for the color list! I wasn't even aware that they've repeated colors or that it ties into their storyline. Thank you ❤️❤️ we appreciate you being here and send you back just as much love ❤️
@@NewChapterReactions if you have time I would recomend that you Check in the Video which Member wrote the Song, because you will see after some Songs that everyone has his personal type of lyrics and melody. Its also Interesting because they will bring their personal problems in the lyrics. For exemple chan has Insomnia and wrote the Song about that
though if you consider that IN LIFE repackage was yellow (and orange), it would be Red->Yellow->Blue until NoEasy, the three primary colors, but also three different states, like being Red the inciting incident (the unfulfillment with the status quo, entering the maze, the beginning of life), Yellow is the search (question the self/choosing a road not taken/experience the life itself) and Blue is the return to the calm once the process is complete (the answer/the destination/the fulfillment). In the last scene of the Maniac MV, when they're in the cafeteria, one of the pictures in the wall is from 'Le poème de l'angle droit', which is a serie of paintings and writings of Le Corbusier that also deals with meanings in each color. My personal theory is that the Green Oddinary and the Pink Maxident, are the versions of themselves that took a different road in the Yellow Wood (which is also a poem about the roads no taken), and we are watching a version of Felix in weird Wonderland and another version full of fun and colors (maybe?), as they're a mix and a hue of the same three primary colors.
When you start going through all the dance practices, just remember that sometimes there are multiple versions and you should watch them all. Usually a full cam for the actual choreo, but some have a cute version as well and they are totally worth watching :D I love all 3 of these songs - Changbin's voice..
Keeping that in mind! We'll try and look it up when we start reacting to them so we make sure not to miss any 🥰. If we do I'm sure you guys will let us know!! ❤❤
About the mixtape 1 mv... It was actually a special mv they filmed recently. It's connected to SKZ CODE ep 14 and 15 the Christmas episodes so might want to watch those episodes before you watch the Mixtape 1 MV so you can understand the concept better
I hope you guys check out the ballad version of I'm You, i'm sure you'll love it (it's ot8 and live!) It's much more emotional and the vocals shine ✨ Anyway, thank you for the video ❤️
the question and awkward silence videos never fail to make me smile :) and such a breath of fresh air after the emotional rollercoaster that are the other songs on this album
Hey! Great reaction as always! I just wanted to let you know that in their SKZ 2021 album they renamed the mixtapes. Mixtape #1 now has an ot8 video under the title ‘Placebo’. The other renames are: #2- Behind the light #3- For You #4- Broken Compass
Awkward silence is such a good way to cap off I AM: WHO. It definitely leaves you feeling a lot more hopefully after all the angst in the album, imo. I also still just really like the music video lol. Their little school uniforms are adorable. Watching you two react to Street versions is making me so nostalgic. I remember how plentiful they used to be back in the day and, similarly to the one for Question, they all always cracked me up. I understand why they probably don't do them anymore but, it still makes me feel somewhat melancholic to see them again. Especially watching people react to them. So, we got the fandom name just before the I AM: YOU era so, I've always seen I am You (and most of the album honestly. There's even a song that's titled the date they debuted) as a love letter to the fans and each other. The 'Stay together, you and I' line in particular always hits me square in the feels lol.
It is a lighter way to end off the album, you're right! That's why we were expecting to be back in our feels for this one. It was a pleasant surprise. The MV is one of the best things I've seen haha. It seems like they were having so much fun when they were recording these that you can feel it through the screen. I'm sure we're moving on to bigger and better things but it's still kind of bittersweet in a way that they don't do these as often anymore. That's so sweet ❤️!
That was fun.😁 I love seeing y’all laughing and enjoying the boys.🥹 And honestly, I get a lot out of watching these MV reactions with y’all. I never really pay attention to lyrics. I’m all about how it sounds and forget to look deeper into the songs and their meaning. But y’all breaking them down and giving your perspectives, it helps me SO much! You both have such good insight and thoughts on it. The stuff y’all notice and how you explain it really paints a picture I didn’t see before. So thanks!☺️ BIG HUGS!!🤗🥰
I'm glad we bring something new to the table for you ❤️❤️❤️. Seriously though we laughed so much through these MVs that my jaw was tired 😂. Definitely the reaction we didn't know we needed haha. 😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️
I wait for your uploads sooo much (but they always come in late at night so gonna watch later!!) Really love your reactions, my stomach swoops in excitement whenever I get a notification thank you for your reactions!!!
OH MY GOD. I've been waiting for this one! Gonna update the comment once I watch the video ^^ So, I did it. I watched it and I cried a lot. Thank you, though. It was exactly what I needed today. Here are some timestamp I felt like I want to talk about :D 2:33 THE FACES!!! Thank you for a good giggle :D You'll get used to things like this, I promise. All of Stray Kids members are VERY passionate in showing their love to each other, but these two are on a whole another level lol (not shipping them thought, if they say that they're friends - than they're friends). You'll soon find out (maybe.. with a little bit... of my help... haha) that they call themselves each other's soulmate (since late 2018) and many other things happened with them too (I can talk about their relationship for AGES), and it's just beautiful. 4:05 THAT is why I recommended Question several times! I knew you'd have a good laugh (and a big question mark in your heads. ironic, isn't it?). Honestly, everything that you see in Question MV - it's just how Stray Kids are. Everywhere, any time of the day, any occasion - they're such comedians and crackheads (god bless SKZ-CODE, that's one of the most hilarious things they've ever done). 4:55 They're clowning one of Han's poses! They were performing District 9 and, since the choreo is intense and they have to sing/rap live, Jisung was heavily breathing during one part of the performance. That's how the "jikilge" meme was born (you can search "Han Jisung jikilge" to see yourselves) :D 16:31 Channie actually hit the camera a bit harder than it was needed. So the looks on their faces are 100% genuine (since cameras cost a huge amount of money, too). Glad the directors and editors decided to leave this shot in the actual MV, it's became iconic long time ago and it will always be! 27:35 Same thought, this song always makes me cry (I've got tissues today, so I'm ready to go lol). You also need to see the dance practice for this one (and.. for.. every other one too.. one day.. *dissapears*)! The choreo is difficult (as always, not even surprised) but they're so in sync and it's so satisfying to just watch them dancing. 31:25 And yet another Stray Kids pile! Ah, memories, my sweet memories. Being there when they just released the MV and then rewatching it right now for n-th time is so emotional (I've already used 2 tissues, you can't blame me lol) 37:12 They're talking about both their friendship and their relationship with fans. So, first of all, Stray Kids love each other. They call themselves each other's soulmates no matter which duo it is, they often say that it was destined for them to be together (Jisung and Felix having their birthdays on 14 and 15 of September, Chan and Felix being from Australia, Hyunjin attending Minho's performance when they both weren't trainees and didn't know each other, Chan and Seungmin graduating same school in Korea, and other stuff). Then, second thing is their relationship with STAYs. They always say that it's us who let them move forward, achieve new things and strive to become their better selves. They're grateful for us being with them on their journey as much as we're grateful for them to be here with us. 46:36 Yes! We're finally coming to take a look at Clé album series (a lot of doors. and keys. and cameras watching over Stray Kids, again). As for the most logical suggestions, I'd say it's MIROH (the title track), Victory Song (a sick b-side, they also performed it on MAMA 2020), Maze of Memories (my forever gem, it just need to be listened to), Chronosaurus (an underappreciated and often overlooked by non-fans song. have no idea why, it's really good), Boxer (aaaand another funny street version MV!), 19 (good for emotional breakdown lol, the theme is growing up and becoming an adult). Yes, I recommended the whole album again, there's no law saying that I can't do it :D
I'm glad we were able to entertain you today. I hope the rest of your day/night is just as fun ❤️. Oh my gosh their relationship sounds adorable!! We've only seen just the tip on the iceberg when it comes to all of their relationships with each other. You can tell that they love each other and they're very good about showing it!! I think that's fantastic!! We weren't lying when we said our faces hurt from watching these videos 😂. We didn't know we needed this laugh until we had it. Crackhead behavior is the best 😂😂!! And I can't wait to get to SKZ-CODE if it's even more of this 😂! Ohh is that what they were doing (clowning Han)?! I think we were told we would see this as a meme!! I completely forgot 🤦. Seriously the minute we sit down to start these reactions it's like all thoughts fly out of my head 😂. I'm so happy they left the camera smacking in the MV. It was pure gold!! Ohh yes every dance practice. We're going to get to them all 😂! I need them to just... chill on the content for just a little bit so we can try and catch up just a LITTLE. That's okay... I'm glad we have so much to look forward to 😊 The meaning behind I am YOU is so beautiful. I can't say it enough how much they know how to touch people with their lyrics!! I love that they call each other soulmates 🥺. Hahah thank you for recommending the entire album. Just makes us more excited to get to it ❤️❤️
im not sure if someone has mentioned it, but the long korean title of awkward silence is what seungmin is actually singing in the chorus (the first line after the crow)!! i’m not sure what the long title’s exact meaning is but “awkward silence” in korean is “갑분싸” (literally translates to “the mood suddenly got cold/awkward) and the title is actually an acrostic poem hahaha 갑 - 갑자기 분 - 분위기 싸 - 싸해질 필요 없잖아요 yay!! but im so glad you enjoyed the songs
Thank you for breaking this down for us ❤️! The fact that the title is an acrostic poem is really neat ... definitely something we would have never caught. We did see that! We can't wait to see what new songs they're putting out ❤️
i'm so happy that you guys are continuing with your skz journey!! 'I am You' is one of my favorite skz title tracks (which seems to be forgotten a bit bc of its age and divergence from the louder sound that they are associated with) and i love the comforting message that this entire album brings me! Also, "i am not", "i am who", and "i am you" are a trilogy album! each album has an intro song (not!, who, and you) that are short but really really good, and the song 0325 on the "i am you" album incorporates each intro as sort of the final culmination of their journey! its actually imo one of their best songs lol i love it as always, enjoyed the reaction a lot!
Ooh if you like Awkward Silence then I can't wait for you to see Get Cool. It has similar vibes and is one of my favorite skz songs! The street videos are always so much fun! It's sad they haven't done any recently. I think my favorites are N/S and Boxer. 😊
I AM YOU was meant to show their strong bonds within the team because Chan actually chose the members and that was so meaningful to them to debut as 9 (the survival show explains it better). And the last performance of I am You was just a little after Woojin left. They did the ballad version in the concert, it's beautiful and heartbreaking because their bond with Woojin was cut, and the members suddenly had a lot more pressure to replace Woojin who was the lead vocalist. And the lyrics of I AM YOU ask the fans and the members to stay because we make each other happy... Anyway, the live performance is amazing you definitely need to check it out, it's kinda like a love story that turned sour.
Wow, this is heartbreaking to read. We will definitely check out the live version of the song. I'm glad to see that they all managed to stay together and pull through the hard times they faced in the past. You can tell their bond is strong ❤
As you get into the albums, check out the Album intro videos. Before every Stray Kids album release the members explain their process of producing, composing, etc. They are very interesting, and often touching.
Thank you so much for the time, effort and for appreciating the kids! 😍 We really love seeing the reactions since to me at least it reminds me of my own journey when I was trying to discover them too!! Also if you need some of their first initial tracks from Hellvator/District 9 to MIROH Era in OT8 versions, they can be found on the Albums SKZ 2020 and SKZ 2021 respectively, though most of it had their current grps versions already, right now the songs that we still don't have the OT8 ones as far as I know are 4419, School Life, GLOW, and Hero's Soup in which give a listen if you can too pls!! 💗
My understanding is that the Korean title for awkward silence, 갑자기 분위기 싸해질 필요 없잖아요, means there is no need for the atmosphere to become cold all of a sudden (basically meaning there's no need for awkward silence). Love your reactions btw!
Since we are slowly moving to the *clé* albums... Not only is the story getting more broader... they are no longer focusing only on themselves, but many more clues are added to the story. Clé = key. So for all 3 clé albums, make sure to *pay attention* to KEYS, DOORS, ROADS, COMPASSES, MAPS, TICKETS, CAMERAS, TRANSMITTERS, SKZ "COPIES". It will become much clearer that there are multiple parallel versions of Stray Kids in certain MVs.
hey lovelies! btw since you were talking about the mixtapes: all the mixtapes are very important for STAYS and skz too! (kinda like 'grow up') the kids actually all wrote their parts themselves so the lyrics are very important and emotional! the meaning is very important for us! so be prepared to get emotional 🙈 my favorite personally is 'mixtape 2' the lyrics really hit different and i always cry listening to it 😭🥹💕 oh! and just an fyi: on the albums the names were 'mixtape...' but they all origin from 3racha songs with actual names and they used those when they re-recorded the songs as 8. so for example 'mixtape 2' became 'behind the light' ❣️
Thank you for letting us know to make sure we pay really close attention to the meanings! We will make sure to have tissues stocked for that reaction (and honestly, many of them moving forward🤣) Thank you for the incredibly helpful information❤️❤️
Miroh is a great song- in fact the Kingdom performance of it is actually what turned me into a Stay- and I can't wait to see the reaction but I'm honestly more excited to see your reaction to Victory Song🤭 Chan in that video...
Be aware that the numbered Mixtapes have all changed titles and that there are three versions of all five songs. Mixtape 1 is Placebo Mixtape 2 is Behind the Light (aka If There's a Shadow, There Must be Light) Mixtape 3 is For You Mixtape 4 is Broken Compass Mixtape 5 is Hoodie Season The two differently named versions (which also have some lyrical changes) are on two different albums because every track on every album released until mid-October 2019 was nine-member. The SKZ2020 and SKZ2021 albums are all of the songs from that period rerecorded (and in some cases partially rewritten, to change references to being nine [like in the District 9 lyrics] or to remove parts written by WJ [as is the case with Mixtapes 1 through 5]) into ot8 versions. SKZ replaced all the audio streaming versions and performance versions with the updated ot8 versions, removing WJ entirely from any lingering involvement and negating any issues about profits from the use of his content. SKZ2020 and SKZ2021 are essentially the ot8 reboot of the first eighteen months of SKZ's discography. Parts WJ wrote were removed completely, and parts he sang were taken by someone else (most often Han, with sprinklings of others like Seungmin, Lee Know, and I.N). The only originally nine-member songs that weren't remade and rereleased on SKZ2020/21 and thus don't have ot8 versions are Glow, School Life, and 4419 from the predebut album Mixtape (all survival-show songs that get minimal play/streams and don't get performed on stages), Hero's Soup from the album I am YOU (it's still unclear as to why this one full-length/non-intro, post-debut song was an exception to the reboot), and the intro tracks (like "I am NOT!" and "Road Not Taken") from the albums during the nine-member era. Mixtapes 1-4 were nine-member songs (released on the Yellow Wood album); Mixtape 5 was always ot8 (released on the Levanter album; it _would_ have been nine-member, but that was the time when Woojin abruptly left as they were about to release the album, so they had to delay everything and rerecord stuff). All five numbered Mixtapes started life as pre-SKZ 3RACHA raps (all released on 3RACHA's predebut albums). They were expanded on, with added music and all members writing their own parts, to become full SKZ songs. As of the SKZ2021 album, all five numbered Mixtape tracks have had their titles switched to the titles of the original 3RACHA raps. (So 3RACHA rap tracks with these updated titles are all also on yt. And anything with a numbered Mixtape title is the old, nine-member version.) Here's how that works: MIXTAPE 1 - 3RACHA original "Placebo": th-cam.com/video/pOLGOmBv7TM/w-d-xo.html - SKZ nine-member "Mixtape 1": th-cam.com/video/tmhC_NJ089U/w-d-xo.html - SKZ ot8 remake "Placebo": th-cam.com/video/85-yvOv4R-Q/w-d-xo.html MIXTAPE 2 - 3RACHA original "If There's a Shadow, There Must be Light": th-cam.com/video/dxF6Vu4M4oI/w-d-xo.html - SKZ nine-member "Mixtape 2": th-cam.com/video/KvOoSNLpqWo/w-d-xo.html - SKZ ot8 remake "Behind the Light": th-cam.com/video/W5mTctiXKDI/w-d-xo.html MIXTAPE 3 - 3RACHA original "For You": th-cam.com/video/kPm1SaysM_8/w-d-xo.html - SKZ nine-member "Mixtape 3": th-cam.com/video/3R19jESEY0c/w-d-xo.html - SKZ ot8 remake "For You": th-cam.com/video/uG-zwr-f5Io/w-d-xo.html MIXTAPE 4 - 3RACHA original "Broken Compass": th-cam.com/video/xEFwDnNtcOs/w-d-xo.html - SKZ nine-member "Mixtape 4": th-cam.com/video/gWaCN9vpRK8/w-d-xo.html - SKZ ot8 remake "Broken Compass": th-cam.com/video/IlNgyKPvatk/w-d-xo.html MIXTAPE 5 - 3RACHA original "Hoodie Season": th-cam.com/video/yzm8L0zDyRA/w-d-xo.html - SKZ early ot8 "Mixtape 5" (never a nine-member version): th-cam.com/video/Vy7gkBaTIkw/w-d-xo.html - SKZ ot8 remake "Hoodie Season": th-cam.com/video/Fnb5V7AqDfY/w-d-xo.html -------------------------------------------- The use of "Mixtape" in SKZ might get confusing, so I'll add this: - The Mixtape album comprises seven songs they made during the show; it was released predebut. These are completely unrelated to anything else that says "Mixtape," and none of the _songs_ have "Mixtape" in the title. - There are several songs that have a "Mixtape: [word]" title -- "Mixtape: OH," "Mixtape: On Track," etc. The videos for these, along with a few other songs, are part of the Mixtape storyline, which is a secondary and much, much less confusing storyline than the main storyline(s). These songs and videos are completely unrelated to anything else that says "Mixtape." - And there are the five numbered Mixtape songs that have now been renamed, all five of which are also completely unrelated to any other songs (and are also not related to each other, unlike the "Mixtape: [word]" songs in the Mixtape storyline, which tell a complete story via their MVs).
That was a lot of info that we needed, thank you. You always put things into such perspective for us. This makes more sense now than when I was trying to figure it out on my own! I just literally copied the majority of this so that I can review it later if I need to. Thank you so so much ❤️
I love your reactions ❤ Can´t wait for you to watch SKZ-Code !! you will have so much fun and learn more about each of their personality and fall deeper in love with them 😊 Have a lovely day ❤
Yeah, those street versions are only going to get weirder and weirder. Really curious what you'll think of N/S hahaha. You're probably going to react to those too, but: Awkward Silence has a full dance practice video and it's very worth it to watch it. The choreo is so much fun hahaha I'm still not over Channie's blond hair era in both I am You and Miroh, I love it so much on him! 😍
Weirder is right up our alley. We're living for these they're so much fun haha. We will! We plan to get to all of the dance practices. Honestly, if we didn't have to go to work we would probably just hole up in our recording room and watch these boys for hours 😂. Sounds like a dream 😂!
i am you is one of my favorite skz songs ever and one ive been wrestling with myself to try to decide if its my favorite skz title ever for ages haha so i just dub it my sentimentality fave i think you'll find the same like striking mellow but expressive vibe with levanter!
Love love love your reactions to the KZS. Thank you! (I'll try to keep this brief 😉 1.Question has a ton of little visual easter eggs from their behind the scenes and Dingo School programs. 2. Awkward Silence is such a fun and meaningful song to Stay. It is wonderful to see your getting it! 3. I am you, is an amalgamation of so many things. Their struggles to debut (especially Chani with his 7 years of waiting to find people to debut with, this endment from their 3rd Seoul Maniac concert explains some of it th-cam.com/video/aEJFp_Mn7Tc/w-d-xo.html ) it's been a long road for them. They didn't seem to be recognized at first by the Kpop industry till Miroh (which was their first award). But Stay have remained with them through all their struggles and worried about each member when they had difficulties. These young men were/are worth the effort!
Thank you 💞! We love seeing how deep they go with their lyrics. Even now as we're learning more and more of their backstory and about the members themselves we can really feel what they're trying to say. They do such a good job of expressing themselves through their music. I'm glad they seem to be getting the love that they deserve ❤
Please react to the songs that don't have a music video, you can see a video with only the lyrics of the song but they are SO good and have such a deep meaning, especially the ones from the first albums. I recommend "3rd eye" - "Silent Cry" - "0325" - "WHO (it's kinda short but i love that song)" - "YAYAYA" - "Awaken" and a lot more.. I love your reactions and personalities, keep uploading content that you like and Stray Kids
Ok but YOU MUST LISTEN TO THE BALLAD VERSION OF I AM YOU BECAUSE IT’S PROBABLY MY FAVOURITE SONG EVER AND YOU MUST WITNESS IT AND I AM SO MAD CHANNIE NEVER RELEASED IT FOR US TO ENJOY EVERY DAY!!!! Seriously though… 😂 th-cam.com/video/iFiJI0Kdx4o/w-d-xo.html
Hmm so what I'm hearing is that maybe we should react to the ballad version of I am YOU 😂😂? That's a glowing review if I have ever seen one. Thank you for the link 😘😘
@@NewChapterReactions hahahahaha seriously 🤣🤣🤣 I definitely like the ballad version of I Am You way more. I still love the original but the ballad is just so beautiful 😩 there are a few versions floating around but my fav is the link above. Honestly even just in your own time - it’s so pretty!
30:10 it is different cuz its also a performance video in itself 🔗 th-cam.com/video/-9XS5sDgIcM/w-d-xo.html 16:33 When chan accidentally hit the camera but the directors still kept the Scene 👌🏼😂 We need a 3h skz dance practice reaction
Oh I see! We'll have to watch that one as well 😊. We have quite a few performance videos and dance practices that we're both really looking forward to!
this set of songs was an emotional roller coaster :) Let me recommend two videos - I would be happy if you make reactions, but if not, please at least watch them in your free time. 1. awkward silence live performance at the radio - th-cam.com/video/sEryZM2E7o0/w-d-xo.html Jisung forgot his lyrics twice and it was hilarious, especially taking into the account the name of the song :) 2. I am you concert / ballad version (please watch one from the concert itself) th-cam.com/video/iFiJI0Kdx4o/w-d-xo.html (with subs) - I like the original song, but this version is so touching, it makes me cry.
We are collecting so many good things to react to as we go along with these MVs (I'm so excited!!!!). I'm adding your Awkward Silence link to our playlist AND we've had a big request for watching the ballad version of I am YOU in concert. We were given a whole playlist of their Japan Showcase ... and I am looking forward to reacting to those performances ❤️❤️❤️
@@NewChapterReactions I am so glad to hear that! :) just fyi, "I am you" from the japan concert playlist is without subtitles, my link is with subs, so it is from the same concert, just a fan added subs and posted it. feel free to react to any of those two.
I love your videos super lots🥰 Yeah there’s 5 mixtapes. They are all 3racha songs redone for the whole group. Mixtape #1 is 3R Placebo #2 =even shadow needs light to exist #3 =For You #4 =Broken Compass (also a Street version) my daughters on the steps of the opera house watching her idols act like total dorks😁 #5 =Hoody Season They also did a special video for us last year of Placebo. 🥰
@@NewChapterReactions they only have the Performance Video no official MV _buuuttttt_ The performance video has 🤔 umm let’s say it’s just as great as a MV would have been. Also I recommend the live performance to the same song that they performed at the 2020 MAMAs as their announcement for their participation in the Kingdom competition. Now that specific performance has got to be my personal favorite of theirs, especially Changbin’s part as my #1 most replayed part 😏
Heyyy! I really enjoyed this reaction! I love those song! Awkward silence is one of my favorite song! You should watch the dance practice as well is so much fun!!!!!!! Stray Kids are reallt bond with each other and with Stay and we can see that in all their songs! They are so precious! Also are you going to check the christmas album now that is christmas season? See you at the next! I can't wait! Bye! 🥰
Hiii ❤️❤️!! I hope you're good and you both had a good week-end ! Question !! So this street version was filmed in Seoul, if I'm not wrong (take into account that I never went there) it was in the park if front of the olympic stadium where skz last performed, in september. I don't have that much to say about this song just maybe about the heavy breathing at the end 😂. Actually they are not mocking ending fairies but they mocking Hannie ! It's something they did in one skz talker too. It's the fact that he always had the killing part where they stop singing and there's pause in the song so he is breathing heavily. Awkward silence ! I really appeciate this song since it's one of the two funny/cute songs they did, the other wil probably be in your next video. The choreography for this song is also really good and is really what is expected of this song in my opinion. Felix's parts ! He may only have I don't know 15 words in the songs, it really is the part that had something to the song and make it even more cute and funny ! And lastly the camera thing with Chan ! Someone already explained but I want to explain more ! Actually he was suppose to push the camera like he did. But he pushed too hard so it got disconnected or something like that, that's why they reacted that way ! I am you ! I want to talk about my opinion on this song because the evolution is quite funny 😂 ! At first this song was a HUGE skip for me. And I don't know one day, in august, I listened to it again and I got obsess with the song I don't know why. It was to the point that I listened to this song once or twice per day ! But I have to say that I really prefer the ot8 version. I mean at first I liked the ot9 version because for once, in my opinion again, Woojin's voice didn't stand out (in a bad way) like it did in other songs but once I listened to the ot8 version it was over. Like Han in the chorus is everything and Minho ends the songs ! So for the lore I forgot to mention that last time. Do you remember when I mentionned that they ran away from the system ? The system is actually following them and the camera is one of the way to find them. You also have the man in Black in back door. And in the Maxident trailer they decided to say "fuck it" and they started playing with the system by showing themselves to the camera and mocking the system. You finally saw Blonde Chan..... Blonde Chan is really something else..... That's why every stays wants it back but at the same time no because his hair is so damaged. But that's why the pc in my phonecase right now is actually Blonde Chan (I changed it 2 days ago) but from clé 2 : Yellow wood ! I have to say that Clé : Levanter might have the most beautiful photobook (in my opinion) but I am you is the best concept ! I have 9 skz albums and that's really my favorite concept ! In the photobook they use mirror and even the first pages I am you is written like in a way that with the second page you can see it right because there's a kind of mirror paper ? I don't know how to explain it in english... Oh and you know the scene where they are laying on a trampoline ? Some of them actually fall asleep.... it's so cute 🤭😂. Oh and again I'm gonna talk about choreography.... the 7 years I danced should be useful for something since I'm bad at dancing 😂😭. No but more seriously I am you is one of the most difficult skz songs and is really impressive while being "minimalist". The foot work of this choreography is really really impressive !
Hello ❤️! We did! And we hope you did as well! Oh so it was filmed in front of the Olympic Stadium? I did see what looked like a stadium behind them but I wasn't too sure! Poor Han 😂😂😂. I love their friendship so much haha We can't wait to see the choreo for Awkward Silence. A lot of people were requesting we watch that in the comment section for this video so I'm very intrigued 😂! Them reacting to Chan hitting the camera too hard was so cute 😂! Seeing how shocked Han was in the back was everything. We will have to check out the OT8 versions of these songs soon. I like being able to hear the songs as they were originally intended to be heard but I'm also curious to see how they may have changed them up during re-recording! I do remember you mentioning the lore! We try our best to remember everything which is why we can point out the cameras so fast!! Blond Chan will be remembered fondly ❤️! I don't need him to be blond again if his hair is suffering but I'm thankful we got blond Chan at all ❤️❤️. We don't have any of the albums just yet! I can't wait to see some of their concept photobooks! Oh, did you used to dance? That's awesome!! Great footwork always amazes me. My brain can barely comprehend how they get their feet and lower body to move like that...
loved the video as always!! i was wondering since you react to both stray kids and ateez if you ever watched kingdom? it was a competition between 6 groups with amazing performances, ateez, stray kids, the boyz, sf9, ikon and btob participated and there's so many interactions and it's so nice, youtube blocks it but i just saw that you have a patreon, i for sure will subscribe if you ever watch ❤️
We haven't watched Kingdom yet! We were saving it until we could post it on Patreon. We will make a community post letting you guys know when that will be coming out so keep an eye open for that 🥰
W minsung duo in awkward silence and question idk if you guys will encounter a lot of duo interactions but there are ships or as I call them duos in skz like chanmin- Bang Chan & Lee Minho(the parents) 2min- Lee Minho & Seungmin(the divorces couple) hyunlix- Hyunjin & Felix(just like minsung it is popular) minsung- Lee Minho & Han Jisung(this is the married couple ig) obviously there's more but these ones are seen more...sorry for not naming all :/
Their street version MV are always funny and crazy 🤣🤣🤣 And you guy have gotten a sneak peek of the biggest skz ship in question MV: Minsung (Lee know or Lee Minho + Han Jisung = Minho + Jisung = Minsung) 🤣🤣🤣 And I don't know if you found out, but skz always use neutral pronouns when the song is about someone precious to them. They never used she/her or He/him. And Stays are thankful for that
Oh, thank you for the link! We have been given a whole playlist for this showcase and I am looking forward to reacting to it. A ballad version of I am YOU? Sign me up!
Hello! I'm sorry we have made it come off that way. We don't know a lot about Woojin just yet and honestly a lot of the times when we are appreciating the vocals we forget to mention names altogether!
@@NewChapterReactions fair enough i see. i just saw a lot of reactor’s trying to ignore him when they react to older stray kids videos. Honestly he is great and you should check out his solo stuff after
Woojin deserves a chance to be heard even though he is doing well in his own way but unfortunately all the false things that have been spread about him by some Stays (not all) it has prevented more people from taking a look at him and noticing how talented he is.
The exaggerated heavy breathing isn't them parodying ending fairies, though a few people will undoubtedly tell you otherwise. It's them making fun of Han, mocking the way he performed his District 9 "지킬게" line (which isn't an ending line) on stage. They've been teasing him with this for over four years, and it pops up in all sorts of content. They tease him with it directly to his face, and he responds accordingly. I had to write a whole thesis comment, including links of proof, for this one time, so I legit have links I can give you if you want to see the origin. But fwiw, every single time you see them doing this (and you will see it often, and not just in MVs; like, Lee Know even did it with zero context in the middle of City Fisherman), it's them making fun of Han. Even when he does it himself. Minsung deliberately playing with their ship dynamic on a track about questions will never not crack me up. They're SO aware of and amused by their ships. Now you see why we love the street ver vids. It's literally them being them, back when they were unknown enough that they could travel all over the world filming themselves in public and remain unaccosted. This one was filmed in Korea, and you know Insomnia was in New York. Boxer (featuring Chan's dog, Berry; filmed at a park near his house) and Mixtape 4 are in Australia. N/S is in Thailand. And so on. Also, not all the self-shot vids are labeled as street versions, so you won't know about them unless we tell you. - "Airplane JYP Building ver" is basically a street vid, but shot in the building instead. It's also not on any official SKZ-related channel -- because they shot it during a vlive and then told STAY to make the video for them. The one that's generally considered to be the "official" unofficial Airplane MV is th-cam.com/video/sR9kUxfIKdQ/w-d-xo.html. - "Haven" is another (STAY 2nd Anniversary Haven Special Video ver). "Haven" was almost our fandom name, and this song is to us. This was self-filmed immediately after they did the "Stray Kids STAY 2nd Anniversary Special Video for STAY" and gave us the first episode of SKZ Company, hence the business-esque setting and outfits. - "Placebo" (the remade ot8 version of Mixtape 1), which was self-shot immediately after they filmed SKZ Code eps 14-15 and gave us the next installment of STAY Company. Hence, again, the business attire and setting (with the bonus of it being at Christmastime, so holiday elements are also present). Anyway, all of those are also self-filmed and should be counted among the street version MVs despite not being labeled as such. Chan hitting the camera in "Awkward Silence" was a serendipitous accident, which is why they all look like that. Their responses were genuine. "Awkward Silence" has a really good dance practice. It's hilarious _and_ it shows off how cool this choreo is. So if you get the chance, I recommend watching it, even if you do it off camera. (Ditto for "Get Cool" when you get around to it. Goofy songs + hardcore choreo.) The "horn on your butt" thing is a Korean saying, basically just one of those goofy things you say to little kids when they're crying, to distract them and make them laugh. Here's how deep and convoluted SKZ gets with weaving details into the ongoing story content across multiple outlets: That fridge in "I Am YOU"? In the making film -- not the MV, just the behind-the-scenes extra footage -- I.N huddled up inside the fridge. Years later, he was once again in that fridge, this time in the main trailer for Thunderous (which, again, is just a trailer, not an MV, and yet it contains absolute sh1t-tons of content that continues the lore or references inside information). Photos Hyunjin took in the behind-the-scenes of "Grow Up" showed up years later on Binnie's phone in "OH," carrying that detail through the secondary Mixtape storyline. Stayville spends half its time being detectives. I mean, SKZ have literally dropped essential lore info in random Bubble posts. We never know when something they say or do is going to end up being related to the lore. The I Am YOU performance video is worth watching at some point, btw. It's them in all their full baby emo glory. But the dance practice is also worth seeing, as it's the best full coverage of this dance, and this choreo is _really_ good.
Because you have said that.. I feel like I have been told this before. I'm not sure if it was you or someone else but I remember that someone said we would be seeing them mocking Han after we reacted to District 9! Now that we've seen them do it once I'm sure we'll catch them doing it again especially if they are doing it so often 😂! I think it's great that they find humor and play off of their ship names 😂. Hidden street versions 😂! I'm looking forward to seeing more of these. I'm saving your link for the "official" unofficial Ariplane MV just in case it's not included on our list (I will look later). Hearing that Stays were almost called Haven is news to us! That would have been a cute name too 🥺 Goofy songs with hardcore choreo 😂. That seems about right for them from what we've seen so far. We plan on watching all of their dance practices so that should be an experience! It's fun as the viewer to catch all of that as it's being put out (if you manage to catch the references!!) but reading that right now .. makes my brain hurt haha. So we have lore in very random places... got it...
Fun fact in Awkward silence Chan actually hit the camera and their reaction was honest for that
That's so funny 😂. I'm glad they kept that in!
@@NewChapterReactions Ya, the director thought it fit so well lol
Oh... thanks for that info.👌😉 Didn't know about that...
Love to see you connect things together. Lee Know and Jisung are the most popular pairing in the group,even if you dont ship them,because their friendship is so adorable. Cant wait for you also to see more of their shows/videos to know more of their personalities and friendships
We absolutely love watching those two interact!! It’s truly a huge boost of seratonin 🥹🥹 We also can’t wait to watch more of their additional content to learn even more about them 💕
@@NewChapterReactions it gives me so much joy too. Can't wait to see your reactions 💜
Question is such a special song because that’s usually the song they play before they get on stage for their tour!! It gets everyone hyped and everyone sings along:) if you have free time I’m pretty sure there’s videos on TH-cam of Stay all singing along, it gives me goosebumps every time! I’m pretty sure there’s also a SKZ talker video where they show a clip of SKZ about to go on and they hear Stay singing from backstage. Love the reaction!
That's so fun! We're going to have to check that out and see if we can find any videos of Stay singing. I love that kind of community at concerts ❤️
I love how Hyunjin acts at the end of I am YOU, he looks so adorable. His acting was so sweet like he was in love. I just can’t ✋😖
They wrote I am YOU for each other and for stays! And yes it's a summary of previous eras as I am YOU was the end of their I AM series
"Stay together"
"You and I"
These can be listened to separately to reference what they want to say to each other.
But you can also read it as
"Stay, together you and I..." which references what they want to say to stays
I love how they tied that all together in such a beautiful package ❤️
Ah, Minsung. They are adorable. Shipping or not, their friendship is goals. I do like to pair off my bias line, Minsung, Minbin, Binsung and Seungbin. 😂
Pure goals ✨ their shipping names are so cute omg 🤣
I am You to me sounds like they sing it to each other, because they found people with the same dreams and aspirations in each other and its like a promise to keep on walking and working together for their shared dream. Like a homage to their friendship and teamwork. It would definitly fit the MV as they always appear happier together and when they sing "its to cold to be alone outside" all the members come into the frame...
We agree with this interpretation as well! It makes a lot of sense when combining the lyrics and visuals in the MV.
I love ‘I am you’ as a last song to sing with them at the concert😊
Do they often play this song last to close out the show?
@@NewChapterReactions I think in previous concerts - now it´s "star lost" and "haven" :)
@@V_L07 Thank you!
All these years later Question and Awk. Silence still put a huge stupid grin on my face! I'm thoroughly enjoying rewatching all these mvs with you two!!! 🥰
I can see why 😂! They gave us a much needed laugh. ❤️❤️
The question mv is a perfect example of how straykids is in real life. Because they are just a chaotic/weird Family.
Minsung ( Minho and Jisung) is just serving in this mv
StrayKids has Colours for each of their Alben:
I am Not: Red/ Black
I am Who: Yellow
I am You: Light blue
Clé1: Miroh: Red
Clé2: Yellow wood: Yellow
Clé: Levanter: Blue
GO LIVE: Red
IN LIFE: Red/White
NoEasy: Blue/Grey
ODDINARY: Green
MAXIDENT: Pink
You will see a lot strong Colours in their MVs because its Connected to the Big Storyline they have of being a stray kid, try to love yourself, fears and a lot more.
I really love all of your reactions because it reminde me from my start of be a stay in 2017 (pre debut time) and also send you love from Germany💜☺️
I love this chaotic and weird family ❤️
Thank you for the color list! I wasn't even aware that they've repeated colors or that it ties into their storyline.
Thank you ❤️❤️ we appreciate you being here and send you back just as much love ❤️
@@NewChapterReactions if you have time I would recomend that you Check in the Video which Member wrote the Song, because you will see after some Songs that everyone has his personal type of lyrics and melody. Its also Interesting because they will bring their personal problems in the lyrics. For exemple chan has Insomnia and wrote the Song about that
That's a good idea! We will look into doing that with our next set of reactions ❤
though if you consider that IN LIFE repackage was yellow (and orange), it would be Red->Yellow->Blue until NoEasy, the three primary colors, but also three different states, like being Red the inciting incident (the unfulfillment with the status quo, entering the maze, the beginning of life), Yellow is the search (question the self/choosing a road not taken/experience the life itself) and Blue is the return to the calm once the process is complete (the answer/the destination/the fulfillment).
In the last scene of the Maniac MV, when they're in the cafeteria, one of the pictures in the wall is from 'Le poème de l'angle droit', which is a serie of paintings and writings of Le Corbusier that also deals with meanings in each color.
My personal theory is that the Green Oddinary and the Pink Maxident, are the versions of themselves that took a different road in the Yellow Wood (which is also a poem about the roads no taken), and we are watching a version of Felix in weird Wonderland and another version full of fun and colors (maybe?), as they're a mix and a hue of the same three primary colors.
When you start going through all the dance practices, just remember that sometimes there are multiple versions and you should watch them all. Usually a full cam for the actual choreo, but some have a cute version as well and they are totally worth watching :D I love all 3 of these songs - Changbin's voice..
Keeping that in mind! We'll try and look it up when we start reacting to them so we make sure not to miss any 🥰. If we do I'm sure you guys will let us know!! ❤❤
About the mixtape 1 mv... It was actually a special mv they filmed recently. It's connected to SKZ CODE ep 14 and 15 the Christmas episodes so might want to watch those episodes before you watch the Mixtape 1 MV so you can understand the concept better
Thank you for letting us know!!🤍
@@NewChapterReactions you're welcome! Also, the mixtape 1 mv is also called Placebo (just in case you get confused with the titles) 💗
I hope you guys check out the ballad version of I'm You, i'm sure you'll love it (it's ot8 and live!) It's much more emotional and the vocals shine ✨
Anyway, thank you for the video ❤️
Thank you for the suggestion! We will check it out ❤️❤️
the question and awkward silence videos never fail to make me smile :) and such a breath of fresh air after the emotional rollercoaster that are the other songs on this album
Gives you a chance to breathe after going on such an emotional journey ❤️
Hey! Great reaction as always!
I just wanted to let you know that in their SKZ 2021 album they renamed the mixtapes. Mixtape #1 now has an ot8 video under the title ‘Placebo’.
The other renames are:
#2- Behind the light
#3- For You
#4- Broken Compass
Thank you for listing these out for us!!
I am you is the most underappreciated title track of theirs 😭💜
Seriously, such a beautiful and emotional song 🤧
I have listened to I am You several times since recording. I absolutely love it! 😭❤️
i am you is such a good song, i really love the choreo too. i don't know what it is about it but i love it
It's just that good 😉
exactly hahaha
Awkward silence is such a good way to cap off I AM: WHO. It definitely leaves you feeling a lot more hopefully after all the angst in the album, imo. I also still just really like the music video lol. Their little school uniforms are adorable.
Watching you two react to Street versions is making me so nostalgic. I remember how plentiful they used to be back in the day and, similarly to the one for Question, they all always cracked me up. I understand why they probably don't do them anymore but, it still makes me feel somewhat melancholic to see them again. Especially watching people react to them.
So, we got the fandom name just before the I AM: YOU era so, I've always seen I am You (and most of the album honestly. There's even a song that's titled the date they debuted) as a love letter to the fans and each other. The 'Stay together, you and I' line in particular always hits me square in the feels lol.
It is a lighter way to end off the album, you're right! That's why we were expecting to be back in our feels for this one. It was a pleasant surprise. The MV is one of the best things I've seen haha.
It seems like they were having so much fun when they were recording these that you can feel it through the screen. I'm sure we're moving on to bigger and better things but it's still kind of bittersweet in a way that they don't do these as often anymore.
That's so sweet ❤️!
That was fun.😁 I love seeing y’all laughing and enjoying the boys.🥹 And honestly, I get a lot out of watching these MV reactions with y’all. I never really pay attention to lyrics. I’m all about how it sounds and forget to look deeper into the songs and their meaning. But y’all breaking them down and giving your perspectives, it helps me SO much! You both have such good insight and thoughts on it. The stuff y’all notice and how you explain it really paints a picture I didn’t see before. So thanks!☺️ BIG HUGS!!🤗🥰
I'm glad we bring something new to the table for you ❤️❤️❤️. Seriously though we laughed so much through these MVs that my jaw was tired 😂. Definitely the reaction we didn't know we needed haha. 😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️
Question Street video definitely questionable 🤣
And we love it 😂
I wait for your uploads sooo much (but they always come in late at night so gonna watch later!!) Really love your reactions, my stomach swoops in excitement whenever I get a notification thank you for your reactions!!!
Oh my gosh, you're so sweet 💕. Thank you we're glad you enjoy our videos ❤
OH MY GOD. I've been waiting for this one! Gonna update the comment once I watch the video ^^
So, I did it. I watched it and I cried a lot. Thank you, though. It was exactly what I needed today. Here are some timestamp I felt like I want to talk about :D
2:33 THE FACES!!! Thank you for a good giggle :D You'll get used to things like this, I promise. All of Stray Kids members are VERY passionate in showing their love to each other, but these two are on a whole another level lol (not shipping them thought, if they say that they're friends - than they're friends). You'll soon find out (maybe.. with a little bit... of my help... haha) that they call themselves each other's soulmate (since late 2018) and many other things happened with them too (I can talk about their relationship for AGES), and it's just beautiful.
4:05 THAT is why I recommended Question several times! I knew you'd have a good laugh (and a big question mark in your heads. ironic, isn't it?). Honestly, everything that you see in Question MV - it's just how Stray Kids are. Everywhere, any time of the day, any occasion - they're such comedians and crackheads (god bless SKZ-CODE, that's one of the most hilarious things they've ever done).
4:55 They're clowning one of Han's poses! They were performing District 9 and, since the choreo is intense and they have to sing/rap live, Jisung was heavily breathing during one part of the performance. That's how the "jikilge" meme was born (you can search "Han Jisung jikilge" to see yourselves) :D
16:31 Channie actually hit the camera a bit harder than it was needed. So the looks on their faces are 100% genuine (since cameras cost a huge amount of money, too). Glad the directors and editors decided to leave this shot in the actual MV, it's became iconic long time ago and it will always be!
27:35 Same thought, this song always makes me cry (I've got tissues today, so I'm ready to go lol). You also need to see the dance practice for this one (and.. for.. every other one too.. one day.. *dissapears*)! The choreo is difficult (as always, not even surprised) but they're so in sync and it's so satisfying to just watch them dancing.
31:25 And yet another Stray Kids pile! Ah, memories, my sweet memories. Being there when they just released the MV and then rewatching it right now for n-th time is so emotional (I've already used 2 tissues, you can't blame me lol)
37:12 They're talking about both their friendship and their relationship with fans. So, first of all, Stray Kids love each other. They call themselves each other's soulmates no matter which duo it is, they often say that it was destined for them to be together (Jisung and Felix having their birthdays on 14 and 15 of September, Chan and Felix being from Australia, Hyunjin attending Minho's performance when they both weren't trainees and didn't know each other, Chan and Seungmin graduating same school in Korea, and other stuff). Then, second thing is their relationship with STAYs. They always say that it's us who let them move forward, achieve new things and strive to become their better selves. They're grateful for us being with them on their journey as much as we're grateful for them to be here with us.
46:36 Yes! We're finally coming to take a look at Clé album series (a lot of doors. and keys. and cameras watching over Stray Kids, again). As for the most logical suggestions, I'd say it's MIROH (the title track), Victory Song (a sick b-side, they also performed it on MAMA 2020), Maze of Memories (my forever gem, it just need to be listened to), Chronosaurus (an underappreciated and often overlooked by non-fans song. have no idea why, it's really good), Boxer (aaaand another funny street version MV!), 19 (good for emotional breakdown lol, the theme is growing up and becoming an adult). Yes, I recommended the whole album again, there's no law saying that I can't do it :D
I'm glad we were able to entertain you today. I hope the rest of your day/night is just as fun ❤️.
Oh my gosh their relationship sounds adorable!! We've only seen just the tip on the iceberg when it comes to all of their relationships with each other. You can tell that they love each other and they're very good about showing it!! I think that's fantastic!!
We weren't lying when we said our faces hurt from watching these videos 😂. We didn't know we needed this laugh until we had it. Crackhead behavior is the best 😂😂!! And I can't wait to get to SKZ-CODE if it's even more of this 😂!
Ohh is that what they were doing (clowning Han)?! I think we were told we would see this as a meme!! I completely forgot 🤦. Seriously the minute we sit down to start these reactions it's like all thoughts fly out of my head 😂.
I'm so happy they left the camera smacking in the MV. It was pure gold!!
Ohh yes every dance practice. We're going to get to them all 😂! I need them to just... chill on the content for just a little bit so we can try and catch up just a LITTLE. That's okay... I'm glad we have so much to look forward to 😊
The meaning behind I am YOU is so beautiful. I can't say it enough how much they know how to touch people with their lyrics!! I love that they call each other soulmates 🥺.
Hahah thank you for recommending the entire album. Just makes us more excited to get to it ❤️❤️
I can't wait til you guys see their old talkers (and more recent onee of course) cause they've always been so freaking chaotic I tell you😂
im not sure if someone has mentioned it, but the long korean title of awkward silence is what seungmin is actually singing in the chorus (the first line after the crow)!!
i’m not sure what the long title’s exact meaning is but “awkward silence” in korean is “갑분싸” (literally translates to “the mood suddenly got cold/awkward) and the title is actually an acrostic poem hahaha
갑 - 갑자기
분 - 분위기
싸 - 싸해질 필요 없잖아요
yay!! but im so glad you enjoyed the songs
Thank you for breaking this down for us ❤️! The fact that the title is an acrostic poem is really neat ... definitely something we would have never caught.
We did see that! We can't wait to see what new songs they're putting out ❤️
i'm so happy that you guys are continuing with your skz journey!! 'I am You' is one of my favorite skz title tracks (which seems to be forgotten a bit bc of its age and divergence from the louder sound that they are associated with) and i love the comforting message that this entire album brings me!
Also, "i am not", "i am who", and "i am you" are a trilogy album! each album has an intro song (not!, who, and you) that are short but really really good, and the song 0325 on the "i am you" album incorporates each intro as sort of the final culmination of their journey! its actually imo one of their best songs lol i love it
as always, enjoyed the reaction a lot!
Thank you ❤️! We're both really enjoying hearing a lot of their older music. We're excited to get into even more of it ❤️❤️
Ooh if you like Awkward Silence then I can't wait for you to see Get Cool. It has similar vibes and is one of my favorite skz songs!
The street videos are always so much fun! It's sad they haven't done any recently. I think my favorites are N/S and Boxer. 😊
Get Cool is an interesting song title. Knowing them.. I already have theories 😂
You girls always do great with these reactions!! I enjoy it tons Babies 🥰❤
Thank you 😘❤
@@NewChapterReactions ❤❤
oh man i really miss these kind of self recorded mvs from skz like the questions one is hilarious i love it
The self recorded MVs are some of the most entertaining videos we've ever seen 😂
@@NewChapterReactions right?? they r so quirky and really just do whatever the fuck they want and it’s great, i love those type of videos
I AM YOU was meant to show their strong bonds within the team because Chan actually chose the members and that was so meaningful to them to debut as 9 (the survival show explains it better). And the last performance of I am You was just a little after Woojin left. They did the ballad version in the concert, it's beautiful and heartbreaking because their bond with Woojin was cut, and the members suddenly had a lot more pressure to replace Woojin who was the lead vocalist. And the lyrics of I AM YOU ask the fans and the members to stay because we make each other happy... Anyway, the live performance is amazing you definitely need to check it out, it's kinda like a love story that turned sour.
Wow, this is heartbreaking to read. We will definitely check out the live version of the song. I'm glad to see that they all managed to stay together and pull through the hard times they faced in the past. You can tell their bond is strong ❤
As you get into the albums, check out the Album intro videos. Before every Stray Kids album release the members explain their process of producing, composing, etc. They are very interesting, and often touching.
Thank you for the helpful info!! We love watching their creative process so we’ll make sure to add these to our list to check out ✨
Thank you so much for the time, effort and for appreciating the kids! 😍
We really love seeing the reactions since to me at least it reminds me of my own journey when I was trying to discover them too!!
Also if you need some of their first initial tracks from Hellvator/District 9 to MIROH Era in OT8 versions, they can be found on the Albums SKZ 2020 and SKZ 2021 respectively, though most of it had their current grps versions already, right now the songs that we still don't have the OT8 ones as far as I know are 4419,
School Life, GLOW, and Hero's Soup in which give a listen if you can too pls!! 💗
Thank you so much ❤️! We will make sure to give the other versions a listen as well 🤗
My understanding is that the Korean title for awkward silence, 갑자기 분위기 싸해질 필요 없잖아요, means there is no need for the atmosphere to become cold all of a sudden (basically meaning there's no need for awkward silence). Love your reactions btw!
Thank you for explaining!!! We were hoping that someone would come to our rescue ❤️❤️
Question in the normal video was funny but the concert ver was so epic🔥🔥
I recommend the Awkward Silence dance practice. It is somehow just as cute as the MV.
We can't wait to see it 🥰
Since we are slowly moving to the *clé* albums... Not only is the story getting more broader... they are no longer focusing only on themselves, but many more clues are added to the story. Clé = key. So for all 3 clé albums, make sure to *pay attention* to KEYS, DOORS, ROADS, COMPASSES, MAPS, TICKETS, CAMERAS, TRANSMITTERS, SKZ "COPIES". It will become much clearer that there are multiple parallel versions of Stray Kids in certain MVs.
Wow there is so much to look for going forward!
hey lovelies!
btw since you were talking about the mixtapes:
all the mixtapes are very important for STAYS and skz too! (kinda like 'grow up') the kids actually all wrote their parts themselves so the lyrics are very important and emotional! the meaning is very important for us! so be prepared to get emotional 🙈 my favorite personally is 'mixtape 2' the lyrics really hit different and i always cry listening to it 😭🥹💕
oh! and just an fyi:
on the albums the names were 'mixtape...' but they all origin from 3racha songs with actual names and they used those when they re-recorded the songs as 8.
so for example 'mixtape 2' became 'behind the light' ❣️
Thank you for letting us know to make sure we pay really close attention to the meanings! We will make sure to have tissues stocked for that reaction (and honestly, many of them moving forward🤣)
Thank you for the incredibly helpful information❤️❤️
Really enjoying the journey. There is so much for y'all to see.
Thank you 💞! We're excited to see more!
Fun Fact: They shot the Question MV(and the BOXER MV) in Australia when Stray kids went back in 2019.
Miroh is a great song- in fact the Kingdom performance of it is actually what turned me into a Stay- and I can't wait to see the reaction but I'm honestly more excited to see your reaction to Victory Song🤭 Chan in that video...
Victory Song Chan, huh? I am so curious....
@@NewChapterReactions be sure to keep a close eye on him whenever he shows up😇
Be aware that the numbered Mixtapes have all changed titles and that there are three versions of all five songs.
Mixtape 1 is Placebo
Mixtape 2 is Behind the Light (aka If There's a Shadow, There Must be Light)
Mixtape 3 is For You
Mixtape 4 is Broken Compass
Mixtape 5 is Hoodie Season
The two differently named versions (which also have some lyrical changes) are on two different albums because every track on every album released until mid-October 2019 was nine-member. The SKZ2020 and SKZ2021 albums are all of the songs from that period rerecorded (and in some cases partially rewritten, to change references to being nine [like in the District 9 lyrics] or to remove parts written by WJ [as is the case with Mixtapes 1 through 5]) into ot8 versions. SKZ replaced all the audio streaming versions and performance versions with the updated ot8 versions, removing WJ entirely from any lingering involvement and negating any issues about profits from the use of his content. SKZ2020 and SKZ2021 are essentially the ot8 reboot of the first eighteen months of SKZ's discography. Parts WJ wrote were removed completely, and parts he sang were taken by someone else (most often Han, with sprinklings of others like Seungmin, Lee Know, and I.N).
The only originally nine-member songs that weren't remade and rereleased on SKZ2020/21 and thus don't have ot8 versions are Glow, School Life, and 4419 from the predebut album Mixtape (all survival-show songs that get minimal play/streams and don't get performed on stages), Hero's Soup from the album I am YOU (it's still unclear as to why this one full-length/non-intro, post-debut song was an exception to the reboot), and the intro tracks (like "I am NOT!" and "Road Not Taken") from the albums during the nine-member era.
Mixtapes 1-4 were nine-member songs (released on the Yellow Wood album); Mixtape 5 was always ot8 (released on the Levanter album; it _would_ have been nine-member, but that was the time when Woojin abruptly left as they were about to release the album, so they had to delay everything and rerecord stuff). All five numbered Mixtapes started life as pre-SKZ 3RACHA raps (all released on 3RACHA's predebut albums). They were expanded on, with added music and all members writing their own parts, to become full SKZ songs. As of the SKZ2021 album, all five numbered Mixtape tracks have had their titles switched to the titles of the original 3RACHA raps. (So 3RACHA rap tracks with these updated titles are all also on yt. And anything with a numbered Mixtape title is the old, nine-member version.)
Here's how that works:

--------------------------------------------
The use of "Mixtape" in SKZ might get confusing, so I'll add this:
- The Mixtape album comprises seven songs they made during the show; it was released predebut. These are completely unrelated to anything else that says "Mixtape," and none of the _songs_ have "Mixtape" in the title.
- There are several songs that have a "Mixtape: [word]" title -- "Mixtape: OH," "Mixtape: On Track," etc. The videos for these, along with a few other songs, are part of the Mixtape storyline, which is a secondary and much, much less confusing storyline than the main storyline(s). These songs and videos are completely unrelated to anything else that says "Mixtape."
- And there are the five numbered Mixtape songs that have now been renamed, all five of which are also completely unrelated to any other songs (and are also not related to each other, unlike the "Mixtape: [word]" songs in the Mixtape storyline, which tell a complete story via their MVs).
That was a lot of info that we needed, thank you. You always put things into such perspective for us. This makes more sense now than when I was trying to figure it out on my own! I just literally copied the majority of this so that I can review it later if I need to. Thank you so so much ❤️
I know been awhile but because the lights you can see I think that might be a football field in Australia.
I am You is directed toward STAY.
I love your reactions ❤
Can´t wait for you to watch SKZ-Code !! you will have so much fun and learn more about each of their personality and fall deeper in love with them 😊
Have a lovely day ❤
We can't wait to watch them either! We need to see more member interactions 🥰❤❤
We hope you have an amazing day as well 💕
I am you was their first song dedicated to stay
No wonder it seemed like they were singing to their fandom! Thank you ❤️
Yeah, those street versions are only going to get weirder and weirder. Really curious what you'll think of N/S hahaha.
You're probably going to react to those too, but: Awkward Silence has a full dance practice video and it's very worth it to watch it. The choreo is so much fun hahaha
I'm still not over Channie's blond hair era in both I am You and Miroh, I love it so much on him! 😍
Omg the N/S video 😂
And yes, blond Chan is superior!
Weirder is right up our alley. We're living for these they're so much fun haha.
We will! We plan to get to all of the dance practices. Honestly, if we didn't have to go to work we would probably just hole up in our recording room and watch these boys for hours 😂. Sounds like a dream 😂!
Oh my god, you totally should watch ‘awkward silence’ dance practice, its soooo genius
We can't wait to watch it! If the glimpses we got of it are anything like what was in the MV we're going to love it!
If i remember it right it was changbins birthday when they shoots the I am you
Please watch the awkward silence dance practice you will have so much fun❤️
We can't wait to see it ❤️!!
please check out their ballad version of i am you in one of their concert, it's so freaking beautiful!! thank you for the reaction!
We can't wait to check it out ❤️!!
i am you is one of my favorite skz songs ever and one ive been wrestling with myself to try to decide if its my favorite skz title ever for ages haha so i just dub it my sentimentality fave
i think you'll find the same like striking mellow but expressive vibe with levanter!
We are very excited to get to levanter, it is one that has been mentioned several times since the beginning of our journey!! Can’t wait ✨
If you want more laugh, you can react to more of their street version mvs, ie N/S and Boxer.
We plan to! I can't wait until we get to those ❤️!
Love love love your reactions to the KZS. Thank you!
(I'll try to keep this brief 😉
1.Question has a ton of little visual easter eggs from their behind the scenes and Dingo School programs.
2. Awkward Silence is such a fun and meaningful song to Stay. It is wonderful to see your getting it!
3. I am you, is an amalgamation of so many things. Their struggles to debut (especially Chani with his 7 years of waiting to find people to debut with, this endment from their 3rd Seoul Maniac concert explains some of it th-cam.com/video/aEJFp_Mn7Tc/w-d-xo.html ) it's been a long road for them. They didn't seem to be recognized at first by the Kpop industry till Miroh (which was their first award). But Stay have remained with them through all their struggles and worried about each member when they had difficulties. These young men were/are worth the effort!
Thank you 💞! We love seeing how deep they go with their lyrics. Even now as we're learning more and more of their backstory and about the members themselves we can really feel what they're trying to say. They do such a good job of expressing themselves through their music. I'm glad they seem to be getting the love that they deserve ❤
If you liked the ' My Pace ' dance moves, check out the dance practise! They're such talented dancers!!💞💞💞
We will for sure ❤!!
If you didnot know atlast the breathing that they did was they were teasing han 😂😂
Poor Han 😂😂😂
Please react to the songs that don't have a music video, you can see a video with only the lyrics of the song but they are SO good and have such a deep meaning, especially the ones from the first albums.
I recommend "3rd eye" - "Silent Cry" - "0325" - "WHO (it's kinda short but i love that song)" - "YAYAYA" - "Awaken" and a lot more..
I love your reactions and personalities, keep uploading content that you like and Stray Kids
We will don't worry! We plan to get to all of their b-sides eventually ❤️
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
Ok but YOU MUST LISTEN TO THE BALLAD VERSION OF I AM YOU BECAUSE IT’S PROBABLY MY FAVOURITE SONG EVER AND YOU MUST WITNESS IT AND I AM SO MAD CHANNIE NEVER RELEASED IT FOR US TO ENJOY EVERY DAY!!!! Seriously though… 😂
th-cam.com/video/iFiJI0Kdx4o/w-d-xo.html
Hmm so what I'm hearing is that maybe we should react to the ballad version of I am YOU 😂😂? That's a glowing review if I have ever seen one. Thank you for the link 😘😘
@@NewChapterReactions hahahahaha seriously 🤣🤣🤣
I definitely like the ballad version of I Am You way more. I still love the original but the ballad is just so beautiful 😩 there are a few versions floating around but my fav is the link above.
Honestly even just in your own time - it’s so pretty!
We will probably react to it! We've had several people mention it today so it seems like a performance that Stays really love ❤️.
30:10 it is different cuz its also a performance video in itself 🔗
th-cam.com/video/-9XS5sDgIcM/w-d-xo.html
16:33 When chan accidentally
hit the camera but the directors still kept the
Scene 👌🏼😂
We need a 3h skz dance practice reaction
Oh I see! We'll have to watch that one as well 😊. We have quite a few performance videos and dance practices that we're both really looking forward to!
this set of songs was an emotional roller coaster :)
Let me recommend two videos - I would be happy if you make reactions, but if not, please at least watch them in your free time.
1. awkward silence live performance at the radio - th-cam.com/video/sEryZM2E7o0/w-d-xo.html Jisung forgot his lyrics twice and it was hilarious, especially taking into the account the name of the song :)
2. I am you concert / ballad version (please watch one from the concert itself) th-cam.com/video/iFiJI0Kdx4o/w-d-xo.html (with subs) - I like the original song, but this version is so touching, it makes me cry.
We are collecting so many good things to react to as we go along with these MVs (I'm so excited!!!!). I'm adding your Awkward Silence link to our playlist AND we've had a big request for watching the ballad version of I am YOU in concert. We were given a whole playlist of their Japan Showcase ... and I am looking forward to reacting to those performances ❤️❤️❤️
@@NewChapterReactions I am so glad to hear that! :)
just fyi, "I am you" from the japan concert playlist is without subtitles, my link is with subs, so it is from the same concert, just a fan added subs and posted it. feel free to react to any of those two.
@@polyanagula Okay thank you! I will save the one with the English subs 🥰
I love your videos super lots🥰
Yeah there’s 5 mixtapes. They are all 3racha songs redone for the whole group.
Mixtape #1 is 3R Placebo
#2 =even shadow needs light to exist
#3 =For You
#4 =Broken Compass (also a Street version) my daughters on the steps of the opera house watching her idols act like total dorks😁
#5 =Hoody Season
They also did a special video for us last year of Placebo. 🥰
Thank you ❤️!
Welcome lovelies🥰
Hyunjin is hilarious
Will you react to the Kingdom performances? I think you will love them! Especially "I'll be your man" ❤️
I’m just now realizing that since the next album will be ᥴᥣᥱ॔𐑑։ꪔꪱ᥅᥆ᦆ
🤭😈💀
‟Victory Songˮ is on that album. 😂 be prepared is all I can forewarn 🤣
Oh dear… Thank you for the warning 🤣🥲
@@NewChapterReactions they only have the Performance Video no official MV
_buuuttttt_
The performance video has 🤔 umm let’s say it’s just as great as a MV would have been. Also I recommend the live performance to the same song that they performed at the 2020 MAMAs as their announcement for their participation in the Kingdom competition. Now that specific performance has got to be my personal favorite of theirs, especially Changbin’s part as my #1 most replayed part 😏
Heyyy! I really enjoyed this reaction! I love those song! Awkward silence is one of my favorite song! You should watch the dance practice as well is so much fun!!!!!!! Stray Kids are reallt bond with each other and with Stay and we can see that in all their songs! They are so precious! Also are you going to check the christmas album now that is christmas season? See you at the next! I can't wait! Bye! 🥰
We will check out the dance practice for sure 🥰. And yes! The Christmas album will be coming next week (we can't wait!!) ❤
@@NewChapterReactions Ah, I'm so glad!!! 🥰
You should react to their vlogs
Hiii ❤️❤️!! I hope you're good and you both had a good week-end !
Question !!
So this street version was filmed in Seoul, if I'm not wrong (take into account that I never went there) it was in the park if front of the olympic stadium where skz last performed, in september.
I don't have that much to say about this song just maybe about the heavy breathing at the end 😂. Actually they are not mocking ending fairies but they mocking Hannie ! It's something they did in one skz talker too. It's the fact that he always had the killing part where they stop singing and there's pause in the song so he is breathing heavily.
Awkward silence !
I really appeciate this song since it's one of the two funny/cute songs they did, the other wil probably be in your next video.
The choreography for this song is also really good and is really what is expected of this song in my opinion.
Felix's parts ! He may only have I don't know 15 words in the songs, it really is the part that had something to the song and make it even more cute and funny !
And lastly the camera thing with Chan ! Someone already explained but I want to explain more ! Actually he was suppose to push the camera like he did. But he pushed too hard so it got disconnected or something like that, that's why they reacted that way !
I am you !
I want to talk about my opinion on this song because the evolution is quite funny 😂 ! At first this song was a HUGE skip for me. And I don't know one day, in august, I listened to it again and I got obsess with the song I don't know why. It was to the point that I listened to this song once or twice per day ! But I have to say that I really prefer the ot8 version. I mean at first I liked the ot9 version because for once, in my opinion again, Woojin's voice didn't stand out (in a bad way) like it did in other songs but once I listened to the ot8 version it was over. Like Han in the chorus is everything and Minho ends the songs !
So for the lore I forgot to mention that last time. Do you remember when I mentionned that they ran away from the system ? The system is actually following them and the camera is one of the way to find them. You also have the man in Black in back door. And in the Maxident trailer they decided to say "fuck it" and they started playing with the system by showing themselves to the camera and mocking the system.
You finally saw Blonde Chan..... Blonde Chan is really something else..... That's why every stays wants it back but at the same time no because his hair is so damaged. But that's why the pc in my phonecase right now is actually Blonde Chan (I changed it 2 days ago) but from clé 2 : Yellow wood !
I have to say that Clé : Levanter might have the most beautiful photobook (in my opinion) but I am you is the best concept ! I have 9 skz albums and that's really my favorite concept ! In the photobook they use mirror and even the first pages I am you is written like in a way that with the second page you can see it right because there's a kind of mirror paper ? I don't know how to explain it in english...
Oh and you know the scene where they are laying on a trampoline ? Some of them actually fall asleep.... it's so cute 🤭😂.
Oh and again I'm gonna talk about choreography.... the 7 years I danced should be useful for something since I'm bad at dancing 😂😭. No but more seriously I am you is one of the most difficult skz songs and is really impressive while being "minimalist". The foot work of this choreography is really really impressive !
Hello ❤️! We did! And we hope you did as well!
Oh so it was filmed in front of the Olympic Stadium? I did see what looked like a stadium behind them but I wasn't too sure! Poor Han 😂😂😂. I love their friendship so much haha
We can't wait to see the choreo for Awkward Silence. A lot of people were requesting we watch that in the comment section for this video so I'm very intrigued 😂! Them reacting to Chan hitting the camera too hard was so cute 😂! Seeing how shocked Han was in the back was everything.
We will have to check out the OT8 versions of these songs soon. I like being able to hear the songs as they were originally intended to be heard but I'm also curious to see how they may have changed them up during re-recording!
I do remember you mentioning the lore! We try our best to remember everything which is why we can point out the cameras so fast!!
Blond Chan will be remembered fondly ❤️! I don't need him to be blond again if his hair is suffering but I'm thankful we got blond Chan at all ❤️❤️. We don't have any of the albums just yet! I can't wait to see some of their concept photobooks!
Oh, did you used to dance? That's awesome!! Great footwork always amazes me. My brain can barely comprehend how they get their feet and lower body to move like that...
I use Papago for translations instead of Google Translate.
❤
Please react to I am YOU (Ballad version)❤️
❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️
I'm wondering~ do you already have any bias in the group?
We don't yet! I'm hoping that when we get into more of their content outside of their music that we'll be able to say for sure 😂
Please react to straykids Any, Ontrack, blueprint, b me
They're doing it in order so,it's gonna be when they do those albums
loved the video as always!! i was wondering since you react to both stray kids and ateez if you ever watched kingdom? it was a competition between 6 groups with amazing performances, ateez, stray kids, the boyz, sf9, ikon and btob participated and there's so many interactions and it's so nice, youtube blocks it but i just saw that you have a patreon, i for sure will subscribe if you ever watch ❤️
We haven't watched Kingdom yet! We were saving it until we could post it on Patreon. We will make a community post letting you guys know when that will be coming out so keep an eye open for that 🥰
W minsung duo in awkward silence and question
idk if you guys will encounter a lot of duo interactions but there are ships or as I call them duos in skz like chanmin- Bang Chan & Lee Minho(the parents) 2min- Lee Minho & Seungmin(the divorces couple) hyunlix- Hyunjin & Felix(just like minsung it is popular) minsung- Lee Minho & Han Jisung(this is the married couple ig) obviously there's more but these ones are seen more...sorry for not naming all :/
That's okay! We can't wait to see more of the duos in this group ❤️
Their street version MV are always funny and crazy 🤣🤣🤣
And you guy have gotten a sneak peek of the biggest skz ship in question MV: Minsung (Lee know or Lee Minho + Han Jisung = Minho + Jisung = Minsung) 🤣🤣🤣
And I don't know if you found out, but skz always use neutral pronouns when the song is about someone precious to them. They never used she/her or He/him. And Stays are thankful for that
We need more of these relationships 😂. They all look like they have the best time together!
Yes! We love that they do that too ❤️❤️!
Y
es the street versions kinda like broken compass aka mixtape 4
I really recommend you the I am you ballad version c:
th-cam.com/video/313mQ-tQQuc/w-d-xo.html
Oh, thank you for the link! We have been given a whole playlist for this showcase and I am looking forward to reacting to it. A ballad version of I am YOU? Sign me up!
please reacto easy
how comes you dont talk about woojin and when his part comes on they dont say anything?
Hello! I'm sorry we have made it come off that way. We don't know a lot about Woojin just yet and honestly a lot of the times when we are appreciating the vocals we forget to mention names altogether!
@@NewChapterReactions fair enough i see. i just saw a lot of reactor’s trying to ignore him when they react to older stray kids videos. Honestly he is great and you should check out his solo stuff after
Woojin deserves a chance to be heard even though he is doing well in his own way but unfortunately all the false things that have been spread about him by some Stays (not all) it has prevented more people from taking a look at him and noticing how talented he is.
The exaggerated heavy breathing isn't them parodying ending fairies, though a few people will undoubtedly tell you otherwise. It's them making fun of Han, mocking the way he performed his District 9 "지킬게" line (which isn't an ending line) on stage. They've been teasing him with this for over four years, and it pops up in all sorts of content. They tease him with it directly to his face, and he responds accordingly. I had to write a whole thesis comment, including links of proof, for this one time, so I legit have links I can give you if you want to see the origin. But fwiw, every single time you see them doing this (and you will see it often, and not just in MVs; like, Lee Know even did it with zero context in the middle of City Fisherman), it's them making fun of Han. Even when he does it himself.
Minsung deliberately playing with their ship dynamic on a track about questions will never not crack me up. They're SO aware of and amused by their ships.
Now you see why we love the street ver vids. It's literally them being them, back when they were unknown enough that they could travel all over the world filming themselves in public and remain unaccosted. This one was filmed in Korea, and you know Insomnia was in New York. Boxer (featuring Chan's dog, Berry; filmed at a park near his house) and Mixtape 4 are in Australia. N/S is in Thailand. And so on.
Also, not all the self-shot vids are labeled as street versions, so you won't know about them unless we tell you.
- "Airplane JYP Building ver" is basically a street vid, but shot in the building instead. It's also not on any official SKZ-related channel -- because they shot it during a vlive and then told STAY to make the video for them. The one that's generally considered to be the "official" unofficial Airplane MV is th-cam.com/video/sR9kUxfIKdQ/w-d-xo.html.
- "Haven" is another (STAY 2nd Anniversary Haven Special Video ver). "Haven" was almost our fandom name, and this song is to us. This was self-filmed immediately after they did the "Stray Kids STAY 2nd Anniversary Special Video for STAY" and gave us the first episode of SKZ Company, hence the business-esque setting and outfits.
- "Placebo" (the remade ot8 version of Mixtape 1), which was self-shot immediately after they filmed SKZ Code eps 14-15 and gave us the next installment of STAY Company. Hence, again, the business attire and setting (with the bonus of it being at Christmastime, so holiday elements are also present).
Anyway, all of those are also self-filmed and should be counted among the street version MVs despite not being labeled as such.
Chan hitting the camera in "Awkward Silence" was a serendipitous accident, which is why they all look like that. Their responses were genuine.
"Awkward Silence" has a really good dance practice. It's hilarious _and_ it shows off how cool this choreo is. So if you get the chance, I recommend watching it, even if you do it off camera. (Ditto for "Get Cool" when you get around to it. Goofy songs + hardcore choreo.)
The "horn on your butt" thing is a Korean saying, basically just one of those goofy things you say to little kids when they're crying, to distract them and make them laugh.
Here's how deep and convoluted SKZ gets with weaving details into the ongoing story content across multiple outlets: That fridge in "I Am YOU"? In the making film -- not the MV, just the behind-the-scenes extra footage -- I.N huddled up inside the fridge. Years later, he was once again in that fridge, this time in the main trailer for Thunderous (which, again, is just a trailer, not an MV, and yet it contains absolute sh1t-tons of content that continues the lore or references inside information). Photos Hyunjin took in the behind-the-scenes of "Grow Up" showed up years later on Binnie's phone in "OH," carrying that detail through the secondary Mixtape storyline. Stayville spends half its time being detectives. I mean, SKZ have literally dropped essential lore info in random Bubble posts. We never know when something they say or do is going to end up being related to the lore.
The I Am YOU performance video is worth watching at some point, btw. It's them in all their full baby emo glory. But the dance practice is also worth seeing, as it's the best full coverage of this dance, and this choreo is _really_ good.
Because you have said that.. I feel like I have been told this before. I'm not sure if it was you or someone else but I remember that someone said we would be seeing them mocking Han after we reacted to District 9! Now that we've seen them do it once I'm sure we'll catch them doing it again especially if they are doing it so often 😂!
I think it's great that they find humor and play off of their ship names 😂.
Hidden street versions 😂! I'm looking forward to seeing more of these. I'm saving your link for the "official" unofficial Ariplane MV just in case it's not included on our list (I will look later). Hearing that Stays were almost called Haven is news to us! That would have been a cute name too 🥺
Goofy songs with hardcore choreo 😂. That seems about right for them from what we've seen so far. We plan on watching all of their dance practices so that should be an experience!
It's fun as the viewer to catch all of that as it's being put out (if you manage to catch the references!!) but reading that right now .. makes my brain hurt haha. So we have lore in very random places... got it...
