Yes you should, since he is on the quieter side people don’t pay him much attention but he has always intrigued me since the time when in one of their contents he revealed his reason for smiling a lot (which you have noticed) which was in his words that the other people around him had told him that he looks scary without smiling and from then on he has made a conscious effort to smile a lot.
Chan was very intense pre-debut. He was a trainee for 7 years and watched many of his friends go on to debut without him while he felt kind of stuck. He was eventually given the opportunity to choose his own members that he would finally debut with, and he took that really seriously. He needed to make sure everyone worked hard so they could all debut together.
For sure. Having watched the reality show, I saw more of that side of him. He seemed a lot more stern and pretty critical of the members. But he also arguably took it the hardest when some got eliminated. Like you could see how much he cared about them but held back to try and be a strong leader. Now that the team has developed a lot more, and gained so much success, he's able to let up.
yes i agree i saw it mostly in the reality show! while watching i also thought for the other members it could be intimidating at first impressions because he had been there for so long and because he was older with a lot of talents
seungmin actually takes care of bang chan even tho he's in the maknae line and you see how much he tries to make it easy for chan and how he takes some of responsibilities with speeches and stuff like that seungmin often mentions how much he wants to help chan with other maknaes and promises that they going to take some weight of Chan's shoulders also in many skz codes seungmin gives chan snacks and it's noticeable how chan lets him take care of him and how chan relies on seungmin (sorry for my English)
I think Chan seems to relies more on Seungmin specially when it comes to responsibilities for example during their trips abroad when they came back without Chan, he seems to be incharge of the members., i feel like it has to do with being the strongest mentally next to him and Minho well they're the brainline in SKZ.. Also, notice how He was/is the one who always gave speeches next to Chan, next to show/does in vlives when there are some issues regarding them.. And all of them agreed that Seugmin seems to well keep secrets..
Felix beeing confused about his cuteness is kinda cute xD Like you said, I think he isn't putting on a cute charm, he himself is just cute Also, I like that you picked up on the fact that they are talking openly about their feelings and crying so fast. They don't shy away from admitting that they were moved by something or telling us that they cried watching a drama/movie and I think it feels really sincere and just shows that they're human
He’s so cute i love him but i’m really sad that he has so many responsibilities and sleeping problems it’s so unhealthy. They’re all so young going thru so much, i wish the wouldnt because stray kids seem like such sweet, genuine and beautiful people :((
Agree! Not sure if it helps, but I actually know many people with sleeping problems. It's nowadays almost 50% of the people in my surrounding (urban area), so it's not really sth only limited to him. Idk seems like humans are made to have such phases, since we can go sleepless for many hours.
@@NoctLightCloud i have sleeping problems too but i believe in kpop it’s because they have to work so hard and get so stressed about everything. The industry is really just exploiting young people, teenagers and kids and i hate the industry for it. It’s not just about chan but every idol goes through a lot and they deserve better
Two kids room on the stray kids channel is a series they did. Just talking to each other about things they went trough (first impressions of each other ect) it has the same feel as these video’s. It would be really amazing to see your reaction to them. :)
yay more stray kids!!!! one kids room is truly a gem of a series, i’m so glad you decided to check it out :)) i really appreciate all the little things you noticed about the boys, like their banter as well as the deeper ways that they talk about each other. definitely recommend I.N’s one kids room, just because you haven’t seen much from him yet, but also all the rest of the episodes(seungmin, han, hyunjin) because they honestly all provide new insight into each member. in terms of other content, it’d be interesting to see you react to something more variety/entertainment based, like their skz-code series! but they also have two kids room and two kids room+1, which are both very similar to one kids room if you want to check those out. han and hyunjin’s two kids room episode is particularly interesting because they talk about some history they have of not getting along w/ each other pre-debut!
I still remember the few times I.N. got emotional and talked (on camera) about his struggles and worries. Both happened when they were still in the survival show before debut. He would say he smiled so often because people told him he looked scary if he didn't. (I think he overcame that, luckily) and that he didn't like to worry the other members, so he always tried to keep his happy facade up. :( Knowing Stray Kids' bond, tho, I believe they do talk a lot among themselves about their worries, and that they help I.N. to the best of their abilities. However I can totally understand and respect it if they don't want to communicate all that on camera.
a bit more context regarding cute charms aka “aegyo”: it’s basically what it sounds like(acting cute and affectionate) and it’s a really big thing in korean culture with friends/family/partners, and very common amongst korean celebrities! the members always say felix is full of aegyo because he’s indeed a very affectionate person by nature, and loves physical contact.
three kids room is similar to this, except they team them up into different groups of three and have them talk about anything, it's interesting to see how they behave around each other
I recently watched a video by another TH-cam content creator named Go! Billy Korean (or something to this effect) and he was enchanted watching Bang Chan eat a donut. He gave very interesting perspective on Bang Chan and Felix‘s learned Korean language skills through a narrative of learning Korean as a non native speaker. He also spoke about tone and emotional cues Felix uses and seeing them change over time in a similar way to your example of Felix speaking in a low tone and at his own pace. I enjoy your videos and click quickly whenever they come out! Well done as always. Thanks for creating a different conversation around the Stray Kids and K Pop in general 😁
4 members done, 4 more to go! You haven't watched I.N, hyunjin, han and seungmin yet. I hope you can check out all the members one kids room and after you finish this i hope you can continue the heart kids room, every member sits on the chair who chooses an answer, the questions are really interesting and skz are fun. Thank you!
I watched this not only because I'm a fan of Stray Kids, but also because Max himself is a great person, you give such a great advise and wise words, and it never feels boring to hear you speak. I also take notes everytime i watch your video. Maybe this is weird but it felt like i learned more about myself as well while you were analyzing others.
Bangchan gets shy and embarrassed at specific times. I like how you described it, Max. I also think that he is a mix between confidence and shyness haha Felix did not speak much in these videos, maybe his level of korean may not have helped him much, however I think his aura is like this: calm. Maybe these videos are a bit old, they may have changed a lot or a little, it's good to hear you analyze them.
Bang Chan started as a trainee at 14, got responsebility of raising 8 (they were originally 9) people into kpop idols and carried all of their carriers on his shoulders. He was mentally and emotionally traumatized during his trainee years, while he was living in Korea without his family present from such a young age. For 7 years he was told he wasn’t good enough to debut, but kept around. Thinking of what he has been theough he a remarkabe strong person.
Chan started training at 12. He left home in Australia for the training in Korea. So people who he was around were basically older and for 7 years he tried over and over to prove he was good enough to debut and never made it. He had many friends who debuted in groups way before him.
Bro that's literally my fav content on youtube now,I really love psychology and personality and all these good stuff and you're doing it with my fav boys,can't get better!!!
BangChan best leader. hahahah He's one of the daddiest daddy in the industry. He has this weekly radio-kind-of broadcast on Vlive app where he listens to music and interacts with his fans. I see it as a way he does more than just fan service, but also fans management. He talks about small things in the weekly broadcast and actively set an example of how to express oneself in a healthy way. So not only is he leading Stray Kids, he's leading Stay (the fandom) too. I could not see him not as a father figure for everyone in Stray Kids. He would stand at the back and gives them the loving stare and encourage his boys to be best. He would crack dry dad jokes. And at the rare times when he's on the serious mode, yep you could see his 'scary' side.
I teared up, Chan is too selfless despite struggling for years as a trainee... Even when he becomes scary, it's for them. I have been into K-pop for 14 years and chan as a leader with the kids hit different... He plays a huge part in their bond. His protectiveness and sense of responsibility are no joke. He really feels like their father not just a leader. They all rely and look up to him, I hope he would chill sometimes, he is really too young😢 He can be too harsh on himself most of the times !
I really wanted to add to Felix and his role- especially the more time goes on and more content comes out they refer/agree felix is their sunshine/warmth just overall everyone that knows about felix associates words like sunshine, angel, happy pill, safe, sweet, positive. And like you point out felix is very genuine and korean speakers point out he'll often choose the deeper/more touching and genuine way of phrasing things in korean language...so even his way of speaking translates to his character
Chan is incredibly reliable and super responsible, which kind of automatically sets him up for carrying a lot of pressure. He does live streams for us every week, regularly, just listening to music, listening to our concerns or just chitchatting! Even to us, people he does not know, he always tries to be of help and wants us to be able to lean on him in tough times. I can’t begin to imagine how great of a friend he must be and I’m glad the kids have him and support him just as much :) he’s extremely compassionate and loving and just genuine. Probably the „celebrity“ I feel most connected to on a personal level. He doesn’t make us feel like there’s this gap between him and us. It’s like he’s our friend, he supports us, we support him. And it’s honestly such a privilege to me to be able to see him every week and knowing he cares and knowing the kids are safe with him and he’s got their backs. Makes me feels very relieved and protected:)
Definitely react the the rest of them, i.n is really interesting, he seems to basically smile through the pain if that makes sense. Even when being scolded he will have this sort of fake smile on his face. He seems to be the type of person to hide his deepest feelings.
When i first saw bang chan i also saw a really cute guy and couldn't picture him being scary BUT after i watch their survival show from 2017 i can definitely see him being scary but that's only because he wanted them to take something seriously cause the other members are so young back then and of course they tend to be a little more playful and not quite take something seriously so in those situation he does look scary but that's because he cares about them and want them to succeed
It's so refreshing to see a group of people being so open with their feelings and physical affection. It's one of the things that makes Stray Kids stand out to me. Seeing how free they are with their love and attention to each other gives me a kind of buzz.
Chan, you can see in some early videos, was intense as heck. The responsibility that was put on him by the company was immense and he wanted to debut with these boys and that meant everyone had to be perfect and it was his job to make sure everyone was perfect. It's not an easy place to be in but they came out of it with a lot of respect for him.
for jeongin (I.N) he can definitely get deeper but I think he's aware of how his happy "im the cute youngest" positively influences not only the fans but the rest of the members...they've mentioned how just seeing him and being around him makes them more likely to be in a good mood and playful or more focused on babying him than nervous for a performance. He gets the most deep when he's solo either in vlogs or vlives but he definitely consciously hides his vulnerability more than most of them.
I do think sometimes I.N tries to keep up the happy mood so as to not worry his members, I don’t think he’s really trying to hide his vulnerability. I think he’s just not as open about his feelings like some of the others are. Like Hyunjin (maybe one of the most sensitive members who is very emotionally open) would share on his vlogs his feelings, insecurities, reflections on his feelings. Cause talking about that is a productive thing for him. It’s a practice in reflection and I think it’s sort of therapeutic for him. But I think I.N is a little more reserved with his feelings and maybe prefers to self reflect privately or one-on-one with another member. I think he does a lot of self regulating on his own but when they’re busy and he’s stressed it just overflows and thankfully the members are there for him when that happens.
@@gp1925 I agree ! When I said hides his vulnerability I didn't mean in an ashamed or negative way he simply seems to prefer to keep that more to himself or choose more carefully when to share it
I think you'd really enjoy watching their song camp or 2kids song. You see a lot of them being vulnerable together as well as their work dynamic. Really fun format!
Aren’t they precious?! I appreciate the way they are emotionally mature and honest. I see it as a cultural difference, in comparison with how men are expected to behave in western cultures.
you couldnt imagine how much i love bang chan not just as an idol, but him as a human being as well:) his personality is beyond amazing, and it just amazes me every single time.
You know I'm looking forward to your reaction on Han's one kid's room since you almost always started your video by commenting Han. Haha. I really wanna see your reaction once you know Han's personality is not as what you've seen so far. The personality you're seeing now is still him but yeah, there's more to Han. I've always waited for your reaction so thank you for this video :)
Everytime he comments on Han I want to see his reaction to finding out that he actually has social anxiety and is really uncomfortable without his members. Changbin and Han's relationship is really interesting. Also the way Chan will always protect his first stray kid 😭
Thank you for continuing with Stray kids I love your content but esp stray kids . Chan really cares about everyone in the group so much he always supports their solo work and gives them complements on his lives . you're right he's confident but at the same time sometimes shy and not as confident and he always shares that with us . and the more you watch Felix in recent years he becomes more confident in speaking korean . he's really a lovely and cute person by nature that everyone wants to protect him once they know him
I just love watching your videos, you find out so many things about the kids so quick. Watching your videos always makes me feel like I’m also learning something’s about my self or things to use in my life. I’m neurodivergent, so since I was a child I always made a big effort to learn and be attentive of this kind of things on my self and other people so I could comunicate and understand better my realitionships and interactions with others, so watching your videos feels like a safe place cause that’s how my head has always worked, but I also learn new things!!! Thank you so so much! I can’t wait for the next videos!
Thank you for reacting- you will see their growth in the 2022 session coming out this year, I can’t wait 😛 . Bang Chan and Felix are such sweethearts, they both bought me into stray kids originally. But the whole of SKZ made me STAY.
So i.n. smiles so much that because it's a habit, when he was younger he was told his resting face was intimidating/scary so he smiled a lot and then it became a habit. He does tend to keep things bottle up and to himself though
You are amazing at understanding the guy's personalities based on what you watch! It's so spot on!!! I absolutely LOVE watching your reactions to Stray Kids!!
2:02 I understand you perfectly, it can be seen from afar that Channie is shy and has said it openly to stay, he has confidence but he lacks a little more, I hope that one day he will see how stay sees him and can be a little more open in some things 😊
Thank you so much for your analysis, they are always so accurate! Bang Chan with his confidence and boyish charm, for example, is so spot on, hahah :)) Super excited to see more
also jeongin definitely has a side to him you havent seen yet! He keeps a lot to himself but hes actually a very deep, sensitive, thoughtful, and selfless kid. On their survival show he said he smiles all the time b/c his resting face has been called scary before, but also because he doesn't want to ever worry his hyungs so he smiles so they think hes ok (absolutely broke my heart the first time i heard that). I also think hes generally kind of a happy person though, hes always smiling so big during performances even when the theme is serious and everyone else's faces are "angry" lmao. I think jeongin is really perceptive to the people around him and always plays off the mood in the room. He hates skinship but he plays along with skz's constant teasing and babying because he knows they love him as their youngest.
very recently at their day 3 of the maniac concert they all had a speech and bang chan's speech was honestly just one to make me and basically all of stays cry.
I really like your reactions a lot and thank you for checking out stray kids. 08:50 you mentioned that chan is the right choice for the leadership and a selfless guy and actually he is. And for your information bangchan is the one who chose members for the group. Because he was being a trainee for a long time the company(jyp) gave him a special chance to choose his own members and train them .For his young age he did an amazing job and there is nothing he can't do. Actually fans call him as a father of 7 kids .That's how he cares for his members . (sorry for my english )
15:32 I'm also a new fan, so I don't have the best read of things, but from what I can tell, Seungmin has become a lot more open & joking in the past year or so, which I find really refreshing ^^
also, they have a series called ❤️ kids room were they can't see each other and answer questions and then choose the answers they liked best you might also find it very interesting
I love the way you talked about Changbin! He really is impressive and continues to blow me away the more honest and vulnerable he gets. when i first became a STAY i didn’t really expect him to be an emotional guy, but man now i just think he’s amazing. so smart and in tune with himself. In your free time you should check out Changbin’s song “streetlight”! It made me totally fall in love with his character. i’m sure it’s a lot more emotional for korean speakers, but even the english translations give me chills (maybe i’m just sensitive lol)
I never knew i would really watch this kind of video, bc i always am aware of kids' strong bond. But as soon as i could hear this analysis i understood that there's even much more to dive in! Thank you for analyzing stray kids' friendship!
Ouh yes! When Chan turns on his professional and serious side, he can be intimidating. But in the most positive way. He's just such a great leader!!! Amazing!!
i think stays can really get to know skz' personalities well and see them grow over the years because they are so open and genuine with us. but these videos are just always so interesting to watch because you put everything perfectly into words, its so impressive. i love this content i can't wait for the next episodes!
one kids room is one of my favorites...it shows how they look at each other and themselves...it shows a lot of the members personality that even the owner might not even notice themselves...anyway does a man like bang chan exist around me...and felix is naturally a cute guy
Chan is the oldest sibling in his family, and I think a good sense of responsibility comes from there. Since he had gone for training in Korea, and was the youngest there, I think because of the experience of being in both the position of being the oldest and youngest makes him such a good leader. He knows what to do as a leader but also understand what the younger members feel.
I really like your vids🤟🏻😭 I don’t even like stray kids but the advices that you give or things that you point out helps me a lot. In fact, tomorrow I have a presentation and I’m 50% sh!ting myself and 50% excited to use certain things :D
LOL you've got this! Think about at least ONE thing your audience can gain from your message (whether it's something interesting, helpful or entertaining). That always helps me :) Good luck!
I literally wait for these every week, I always check up on this channel to see if you've uploaded cause I can't stop watching your content. Not just stray kids related vids, but your other vids as well cause I feel like I always gain more understanding on these celebrities every time I watch your analysis, whether I'm a fan of them or not. Props for the very interesting and creative content 👏
Thanks for another stray kids video, very interesting! I'm so agree about "why we connect with them" part, that's exactly how I feel about them! Can't wait to see more one kids room :)
Cute charms is a massive thing in Asian/korean culture and there's technically no literal translation for it in english. Everyone kind of naturally does it to each other especially with friends or with Ur parents or Ur parents do it to you. it's mostly part of ppl's personality either it's supposed to be seen as really cute or it's seen as part of their sense of humour. So it's not supposed to give off the impression of acting fake (ofc some ppl do it to fake their personality) but it's yea when ppl talk about it they mean it as their personality.
I may need to check out I.N. next :)

Lmao That's what I thought
lol

I clicked faster than Changbin’s rap
Same LOOOOL
Let's go!
Lmao
Impossible
Omg mee tooo im so excited
seungmin actually takes care of bang chan even tho he's in the maknae line
and you see how much he tries to make it easy for chan and how he takes some of responsibilities with speeches and stuff like that
seungmin often mentions how much he wants to help chan with other maknaes and promises that they going to take some weight of Chan's shoulders
also in many skz codes seungmin gives chan snacks
and it's noticeable how chan lets him take care of him and how chan relies on seungmin
(sorry for my English)
He's really caring towards the members
Your english is fine don't worry :)
I think Chan seems to relies more on Seungmin specially when it comes to responsibilities for example during their trips abroad when they came back without Chan, he seems to be incharge of the members., i feel like it has to do with being the strongest mentally next to him and Minho well they're the brainline in SKZ.. Also, notice how He was/is the one who always gave speeches next to Chan, next to show/does in vlives when there are some issues regarding them.. And all of them agreed that Seugmin seems to well keep secrets..
Chan also said that Seungmin is fast in organizing his thoughts under pressure the reason why He's almost always giving speeches next to Him..

They call Changbin and Han the ‘mood setters’ , they both have great emotional intelligence
He’s so cute i love him but i’m really sad that he has so many responsibilities and sleeping problems it’s so unhealthy. They’re all so young going thru so much, i wish the wouldnt because stray kids seem like such sweet, genuine and beautiful people :((

2:00 oh no the last word to describe bangchan is confident hahaha, he's so insecure about everything he does (which I really hope changes soon)
yeah, but like on stage or when he represents the group he also looks so confident. so it's interesting he can be both haha
He seems confident but he's so insecure about himself, sometimes it makes me angry cause that man can do everything
i feel like he's more insecure about his appearance/body? meanwhile he's more confident in his skills and personality.
@@quokkaracha8 same
He's confident in his professional skills but he's insecure on a personal level
Felix is the cutest human being 🥺❤

I could not see him not as a father figure for everyone in Stray Kids. He would stand at the back and gives them the loving stare and encourage his boys to be best. He would crack dry dad jokes. And at the rare times when he's on the serious mode, yep you could see his 'scary' side.
I got "I Can got Deep with my ✨ voice ✨" Flashbacks 😭
"it's hard to picture him being intimidating" that's another type of compilation videos 😂😂😂
I teared up, Chan is too selfless despite struggling for years as a trainee... Even when he becomes scary, it's for them. I have been into K-pop for 14 years and chan as a leader with the kids hit different... He plays a huge part in their bond. His protectiveness and sense of responsibility are no joke. He really feels like their father not just a leader. They all rely and look up to him, I hope he would chill sometimes, he is really too young😢 He can be too harsh on himself most of the times !
I really wanted to add to Felix and his role- especially the more time goes on and more content comes out they refer/agree felix is their sunshine/warmth just overall everyone that knows about felix associates words like sunshine, angel, happy pill, safe, sweet, positive. And like you point out felix is very genuine and korean speakers point out he'll often choose the deeper/more touching and genuine way of phrasing things in korean language...so even his way of speaking translates to his character
7:36 Oh dude...Chan was soooo intense before their debut. It is very different from how he is now.
Immediately clicked for skz
Chan is incredibly reliable and super responsible, which kind of automatically sets him up for carrying a lot of pressure. He does live streams for us every week, regularly, just listening to music, listening to our concerns or just chitchatting! Even to us, people he does not know, he always tries to be of help and wants us to be able to lean on him in tough times. I can’t begin to imagine how great of a friend he must be and I’m glad the kids have him and support him just as much :) he’s extremely compassionate and loving and just genuine. Probably the „celebrity“ I feel most connected to on a personal level. He doesn’t make us feel like there’s this gap between him and us. It’s like he’s our friend, he supports us, we support him. And it’s honestly such a privilege to me to be able to see him every week and knowing he cares and knowing the kids are safe with him and he’s got their backs. Makes me feels very relieved and protected:)
Definitely react the the rest of them, i.n is really interesting, he seems to basically smile through the pain if that makes sense. Even when being scolded he will have this sort of fake smile on his face. He seems to be the type of person to hide his deepest feelings.
"This guys love each other 🥰" lee know was about to hit changbin and Hyunjin is hugging lee know so that he won't hit changbin lmaooo
When i first saw bang chan i also saw a really cute guy and couldn't picture him being scary BUT after i watch their survival show from 2017 i can definitely see him being scary but that's only because he wanted them to take something seriously cause the other members are so young back then and of course they tend to be a little more playful and not quite take something seriously so in those situation he does look scary but that's because he cares about them and want them to succeed
omg omg omg omg i've re-watched the other skz videos a looot waiting for a new one im soo excited thank u
I want stray kids to see this so badlyyy.. I want them to hear all these beautiful things you say about them
It's so refreshing to see a group of people being so open with their feelings and physical affection. It's one of the things that makes Stray Kids stand out to me.
Seeing how free they are with their love and attention to each other gives me a kind of buzz.
Chan, you can see in some early videos, was intense as heck. The responsibility that was put on him by the company was immense and he wanted to debut with these boys and that meant everyone had to be perfect and it was his job to make sure everyone was perfect. It's not an easy place to be in but they came out of it with a lot of respect for him.
for jeongin (I.N) he can definitely get deeper but I think he's aware of how his happy "im the cute youngest" positively influences not only the fans but the rest of the members...they've mentioned how just seeing him and being around him makes them more likely to be in a good mood and playful or more focused on babying him than nervous for a performance. He gets the most deep when he's solo either in vlogs or vlives but he definitely consciously hides his vulnerability more than most of them.
I do think sometimes I.N tries to keep up the happy mood so as to not worry his members, I don’t think he’s really trying to hide his vulnerability. I think he’s just not as open about his feelings like some of the others are. Like Hyunjin (maybe one of the most sensitive members who is very emotionally open) would share on his vlogs his feelings, insecurities, reflections on his feelings. Cause talking about that is a productive thing for him. It’s a practice in reflection and I think it’s sort of therapeutic for him. But I think I.N is a little more reserved with his feelings and maybe prefers to self reflect privately or one-on-one with another member. I think he does a lot of self regulating on his own but when they’re busy and he’s stressed it just overflows and thankfully the members are there for him when that happens.
@@gp1925 I agree ! When I said hides his vulnerability I didn't mean in an ashamed or negative way he simply seems to prefer to keep that more to himself or choose more carefully when to share it
I think you'd really enjoy watching their song camp or 2kids song. You see a lot of them being vulnerable together as well as their work dynamic. Really fun format!
Aren’t they precious?! I appreciate the way they are emotionally mature and honest. I see it as a cultural difference, in comparison with how men are expected to behave in western cultures.
finally the aussie boys!
one kids room really helped me get into skz and their personalities so im happy that youre reviewing these rather than just promotional interviews
X2
OMG YES YES YES YES I WAS WAITING FOR THIS ONE LET'S GOOOO
"Chill like Felix"
Also felix: "friED CHickEN!!"
My brain 😭
you couldnt imagine how much i love bang chan not just as an idol, but him as a human being as well:) his personality is beyond amazing, and it just amazes me every single time.
Two kids room upcoming in 2022, so excited!
You know I'm looking forward to your reaction on Han's one kid's room since you almost always started your video by commenting Han. Haha. I really wanna see your reaction once you know Han's personality is not as what you've seen so far. The personality you're seeing now is still him but yeah, there's more to Han. I've always waited for your reaction so thank you for this video :)
Everytime he comments on Han I want to see his reaction to finding out that he actually has social anxiety and is really uncomfortable without his members. Changbin and Han's relationship is really interesting. Also the way Chan will always protect his first stray kid 😭
Thank you for continuing with Stray kids I love your content but esp stray kids . Chan really cares about everyone in the group so much he always supports their solo work and gives them complements on his lives . you're right he's confident but at the same time sometimes shy and not as confident and he always shares that with us . and the more you watch Felix in recent years he becomes more confident in speaking korean . he's really a lovely and cute person by nature that everyone wants to protect him once they know him
I just love watching your videos, you find out so many things about the kids so quick.
Watching your videos always makes me feel like I’m also learning something’s about my self or things to use in my life.
I’m neurodivergent, so since I was a child I always made a big effort to learn and be attentive of this kind of things on my self and other people so I could comunicate and understand better my realitionships and interactions with others, so watching your videos feels like a safe place cause that’s how my head has always worked, but I also learn new things!!! Thank you so so much!
I can’t wait for the next videos!
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
I love bangchan sm he deserves the world
Thank you for reacting- you will see their growth in the 2022 session coming out this year, I can’t wait 😛 . Bang Chan and Felix are such sweethearts, they both bought me into stray kids originally. But the whole of SKZ made me STAY.
So i.n. smiles so much that because it's a habit, when he was younger he was told his resting face was intimidating/scary so he smiled a lot and then it became a habit. He does tend to keep things bottle up and to himself though
Interesting
You are amazing at understanding the guy's personalities based on what you watch! It's so spot on!!! I absolutely LOVE watching your reactions to Stray Kids!!
2:02 I understand you perfectly, it can be seen from afar that Channie is shy and has said it openly to stay, he has confidence but he lacks a little more, I hope that one day he will see how stay sees him and can be a little more open in some things 😊
Thank you so much for your analysis, they are always so accurate! Bang Chan with his confidence and boyish charm, for example, is so spot on, hahah :)) Super excited to see more
also jeongin definitely has a side to him you havent seen yet! He keeps a lot to himself but hes actually a very deep, sensitive, thoughtful, and selfless kid. On their survival show he said he smiles all the time b/c his resting face has been called scary before, but also because he doesn't want to ever worry his hyungs so he smiles so they think hes ok (absolutely broke my heart the first time i heard that). I also think hes generally kind of a happy person though, hes always smiling so big during performances even when the theme is serious and everyone else's faces are "angry" lmao. I think jeongin is really perceptive to the people around him and always plays off the mood in the room. He hates skinship but he plays along with skz's constant teasing and babying because he knows they love him as their youngest.
I was waiting for some Stray Kids!!! So nice!
very recently at their day 3 of the maniac concert they all had a speech and bang chan's speech was honestly just one to make me and basically all of stays cry.
I always look forward to your reactions to Stray Kids, thank you!
I really like your reactions a lot and thank you for checking out stray kids.
08:50 you mentioned that chan is the right choice for the leadership and a selfless guy and actually he is.
And for your information bangchan is the one who chose members for the group.
Because he was being a trainee for a long time the company(jyp) gave him a special chance to choose his own members and train them .For his young age he did an amazing job and there is nothing he can't do.
Actually fans call him as a father of 7 kids .That's how he cares for his members .
(sorry for my english )
yesssss i've been waiting for a bangchan episode i just searched randomly and it came out thank youuuu
15:32 I'm also a new fan, so I don't have the best read of things, but from what I can tell, Seungmin has become a lot more open & joking in the past year or so, which I find really refreshing ^^
Agreed.
FINALLY I WAITED FOR THIS FOR SO LONG thank u for checking out the kids !!
deffo will be waiting for more cool stray kids content from you, I love your reactions and analysis!
I watched changbin & lee know just this morning 😂
Yesss Chan is really smart and will do anything for the kids 😭
really love this series, hope you continue checking out their one kids room!
also, they have a series called ❤️ kids room were they can't see each other and answer questions and then choose the answers they liked best
you might also find it very interesting
Loved this video Max, thanks for covering Stray Kids! You would really enjoy Han's too I think, he's such an interesting mind to glimpse into!
I love the way you talked about Changbin! He really is impressive and continues to blow me away the more honest and vulnerable he gets. when i first became a STAY i didn’t really expect him to be an emotional guy, but man now i just think he’s amazing. so smart and in tune with himself.
In your free time you should check out Changbin’s song “streetlight”! It made me totally fall in love with his character. i’m sure it’s a lot more emotional for korean speakers, but even the english translations give me chills (maybe i’m just sensitive lol)
Oh yess finally thank you so much..
Ur videos r so entertaining and informative at the same time I love it 🤍
Finally finally finally!! I kept coming back to chek on your skz upload 😭🙏🏼💜
I never knew i would really watch this kind of video, bc i always am aware of kids' strong bond. But as soon as i could hear this analysis i understood that there's even much more to dive in! Thank you for analyzing stray kids' friendship!
I really hope you do han's one next
I want moreeee. I love all these one kids room reaction series
these are my favorite skz reactions ever! :) thank you!
Gosh I love these videos!! Your voice has a very calming sound to it that I could fall asleep to it (in a good way of course😆).
I don’t know what it is but something about you is just SUPER entertaining.
I don't know what it is either but thank you :)
yaaay! i was waiting for you to continue with stray kids!
I was just thinking about when you were gonna do another stray kids reaction, I really like your videos
Ouh yes! When Chan turns on his professional and serious side, he can be intimidating. But in the most positive way. He's just such a great leader!!! Amazing!!
i think stays can really get to know skz' personalities well and see them grow over the years because they are so open and genuine with us. but these videos are just always so interesting to watch because you put everything perfectly into words, its so impressive. i love this content i can't wait for the next episodes!
one kids room is one of my favorites...it shows how they look at each other and themselves...it shows a lot of the members personality that even the owner might not even notice themselves...anyway does a man like bang chan exist around me...and felix is naturally a cute guy
They're gonna have some great similar content coming out later this year so I hope you continue to check them out!
no sé porqué al ver este tipo de videos hace que me sienta bien conmigo misma dude.
No necesito ninguno de los dos, pero me alegra escucharlo :)
@@maxpbeaumont thanks a lot max!
Chan is the oldest sibling in his family, and I think a good sense of responsibility comes from there. Since he had gone for training in Korea, and was the youngest there, I think because of the experience of being in both the position of being the oldest and youngest makes him such a good leader.
He knows what to do as a leader but also understand what the younger members feel.
Can't wait to see the next set of episodes
I really like your vids🤟🏻😭 I don’t even like stray kids but the advices that you give or things that you point out helps me a lot.
In fact, tomorrow I have a presentation and I’m 50% sh!ting myself and 50% excited to use certain things :D
LOL you've got this! Think about at least ONE thing your audience can gain from your message (whether it's something interesting, helpful or entertaining). That always helps me :) Good luck!
@@maxpbeaumont thanks!! I will :)
i love your stray kids reaction videos sm hope you make more videos about them in the future~
I literally wait for these every week, I always check up on this channel to see if you've uploaded cause I can't stop watching your content. Not just stray kids related vids, but your other vids as well cause I feel like I always gain more understanding on these celebrities every time I watch your analysis, whether I'm a fan of them or not.
Props for the very interesting and creative content 👏
Thanks for another stray kids video, very interesting! I'm so agree about "why we connect with them" part, that's exactly how I feel about them! Can't wait to see more one kids room :)
Can't wait for you to do more stray kids content! 🤍
Yey! Another One Kids Room reaction! Thank you very much!
9:03 HE'S FOIVE 🖐🏻
I'll always watch your Stray Kids videos. Its so fascinating.
Cute charms is a massive thing in Asian/korean culture and there's technically no literal translation for it in english. Everyone kind of naturally does it to each other especially with friends or with Ur parents or Ur parents do it to you. it's mostly part of ppl's personality either it's supposed to be seen as really cute or it's seen as part of their sense of humour. So it's not supposed to give off the impression of acting fake (ofc some ppl do it to fake their personality) but it's yea when ppl talk about it they mean it as their personality.
