How this guy went 4 videos without noticing it Felix’s voice is kinda incredible

Stray kids write and produce 99.5% of their music. You can the album intros for their last 2 albums; 5 STAR and Rock Star to see their thought process going into each song on the albums and snippets of the recording sessions directed by 3RACHA (the main production team in the group). As for more personal songs or ballads there are quite a few in their discography for example 'Sorry I Love You', Secret Secret, Winter Falls, Cover Me, Levanter.

Add this to that compilation of “what city is this?” “THIS IS SEOUL”

Stray Kids write and produce 99% of their music. Three of their members Changbin (0:52), Bang Chan (1:09), and Han (2:04) are their producing unit 3RACHA which was the name of their hip-hop group before they debuted in Stray Kids. Bang Chan is the 3 most credited K-pop artist of all time with over 180 song credits with all the songs being released in the last 5/6 years. The two above him are Ravi from Vixx at #1 and RM at #2 making him the youngest of the top 3 as he is only 26 (a little over a month younger than the youngest BTS member Jungkook). They are the top 3 most credited 4th gen K-pop artists (BTS is 3rd Gen). Bang Chan also is the person that arranges almost all of their music. Also one of their members Lee Know (1:46) was actually a back up dancer for BTS while they were on tour before debuting as a member of Stray Kids. Unlike other groups that have fixed position as rappers, vocalists, and dancers all 8 of them can do all positions well but tend to be known for one aspect more than the others. 3Racha is the producing/rap unit, DanceRacha is the dance unit and includes Lee Know, Hyunjin (1:34), and Felix (The deep voice guy), and VocalRacha which are the two youngest members Seungmin (1:18) and I.N/ Jeongin (1:38). As for more depth you'll have to look more at their B-side tracks rather than their Title tracks though some title tracks with some amazing depth are Hellevator, I am You, and Levanter. Some amazing B-sides are Grow Up, Ex, Silent Cry, Sorry I Love You, Lonely St., Collision, Cover Me and Leave. They also have some incredible Japanese releases like Scars, DLMLU, Slump, and Social Path. I also recommend checking out Neverending Story which is a song they made for a K-drama soundtrack. But you can also find solo stuff and unit songs that have incredible depth from their SKZ-Replay which is made up of 8 solo songs and several of their solo/unit songs from SKZ-Record or SKZ-Player. Not all of SKZ-Record or SKZ-Player songs were released on SKZ-Replay and they are constantly creating more for both of those. Some of my favorites are Volcano by Han, Streetlight by Changbin, Hate to Admit by Bang Chan, Contradicting by Hyunjin, Deep End by Felix, Stars and Raindrops by Seungmin, Alien by Han, Because by Changbin and Felix, Piece by Changbin and Seungmin, and Close by Han.

If you keep reacting to Stray Kids you will come to realize they are their own genre.

Thank you to Army who suggested Stray Kids! However, in *no* way are these boys similar to BTS. The more you listen and follow them, you'll realize how unique they truly are. There is a song for every person, because they experiment with so many different styles and genres. They refuse to change, even though they get a lot of opposition in that regard. They remain humble and consistent; I can truly say they have an almost no-skip discography.

the pronunciation for Miroh is killing me😭💀

dude you will not believe the fact that all straykids sound is produced by a unit INSIDE of straykids. the genius behind it all is BangChan or Christopher Bang (CB97) who trained for 7 years. this was PURELY an experimental group where an idol trainee (BangChan) was tasked to form his own group, concept, style, sound, everything. he worked his ass off supporting this project and is now getting the well-deserved recognition from the entire world. i appreciate him so much and all the other guys who made straykids grow. they’re truly like no other group. i was fully non-kpop because it wasn’t my preference and the rowdy fans, and straykids changed that for me COMPLETELY. just giving credit where credit is due. now, bangchan’s subgroup/unit in Straykids called 3RACHA continue to produce straykids and all the members learning their own sound. this group is RAW. they are so new. only debuting in 2019, and their sound changes every fucking year it’s insane. i’m truly so glad watching other people witness this too.

As for deep songs: Hellevator, Mirror, Voices, Grow Up, Insomnia, I am You, Levanter, Lonely Street, Leave, Cover Me, Phobia, Ex, Scars, Slump, etc etc etc. there’s a lot
Solos/duets/units:
Bangchan: I hate to admit
Lee Know: Limbo
Changbin: Streetlight
Hyunjin: Lost Star, contradicting
Han: alien, volcano, miserable, happy, I got it
Felix: Deep end
Seungmin: Hold On, Stars and Raindrops
I.N: Hug me, Maknae on Top
Han + Lee Know: want so bad
Bangchan + I.N: Black Hole
Hyunjin+ I.N: untitled
Changbin + Felix: Because
Changbin + Seungmin: Piece of a Puzzle
There are lots of unit songs, but other standouts are Waiting for Us, Muddy Water, Red Lights, Surfin’, Gone Away, Snain, 3racha, Taste, Can’t Stop.
Yeah… they have a 190+ song discography, and they write pretty much everything. Produce most of it,l and arrange some of it.
I would pick an album and do a whole listen. Rock-star was their last one.

I am 66 years old. I mostly listen to K-Pop. I don't really compare BTS to Stray Kids and say one is better than the other. They both have their own styles and they both excel at those styles. I watch many other groups and appreciate their own uniqueness as well. I have been listening to Stray Kids Lalalala a lot (that was almost a tongue twister!)

I am so glad that other people have brought this up. As a Stay I am grateful for the Army’s here who are being so kind! One thing that was uncomfortable was the comparing of two very incredible groups. BTS in wonderful and they deserve the praise. So does Stray Kids. Asking which is better than the other creates unnecessary arguments between fandoms and takes away from what we’re here for. The music and the idols whom create it.
There’s no comparing because they are both unique and the best in their craft.

Just to clear it up for you:
3Racha is SKZ’’s producing team, made up of 3 of their own members, Bang Chan (the leader of the group and 3Racha itself), Changbin and Han. Changbin and Han are the main rappers of the group, and whilst you’d think they only covered the rap side, they have written songs (with both the rest of 3Racha and by themselves) that are also very vocally heavy (and Han also does many of the high notes in SKZ). Bang Chan is currently the 3rd most credited K-pop artist. Let that sink in for a second because he only debuted almost 6 years ago. Chan himself has arranged most (if not all) of SKZ’s songs (but working w other producers asw).
Now what about the other 5 members (Lee Know, Hyunjin, Felix, Seungmin, I.N) ? Well, they’ve done some writing and producing as well. The ‘unit’ songs are when the members break off into mini groups and write a song and the products turn out amazing (Surfin, Taste, Cant’s Stop, Waiting for Us, Wow, Muddy Water, 3Racha, Gone Away, Red lights, My Universe and We Go are some examples ). The SKZ-replay album is full of the member’s solo songs (and a few duos) and they all had a hand in producing those songs themselves. And some of them have written songs for the whole group as well, FNF was Chan and Felix, Hyunjin (with Chan) wrote Cover Me and DLMLU. Seungmin wrote Novel. Felix has also helped out with English translations (Super Bowl which was originally in Korean but ended up getting released as a full Eng song and Domino (Eng Version)).

Behind every stray kids masterpiece is their producing group 3 Racha witch consists of Bang Chan, Changbin and Han
Fun fact they have received best creator award at the 2023 Asia Artist Awards!!! So proud of them

It'll never not be funny to me everyone asking wich city S-Class MV was shooted at just to immediately be answered by Changbin's "This is Seul City" line lmao

hearing you compliment the production and stuff makes me smile because, as so many have already said, stray kids is majority self-produced. 3 of their members form a production unit called 3RACHA and they have been writing and producing almost all of the group's music since predebut. i hope you continue to enjoy them!!!

“Next up is mYrOh” Stop I’m crying 😭

Just a heads up, never initiate a fanwar. Comparing any two groups beyond “hey this video kind of reminds me of this” is going to start a fight. Both BTS and Straykids have their own style, their own choreography, their own histories and strengths. Comparing them isn’t fair to either.

Finally a reaction to Stray Kids! Loved it. They are a self produced group, 3 of them are the producing team and they are called 3RACHA (some of the most credited artists in the kpop industry), but nowadays all of the members take parts on producing and writing. Bang Chan is the leader (short red hair on Back Door), he chose the members by himself and is the one who creates their beats and most of their arrengments, he's a genius. There are a lot of behind the scenes footages of them recording, I'd recommend the ones titled 'Stray Kids [INTRO "★★★★★ (5-STAR)"] Part 3 : Recording' and '3RACHA being the geniuses behind Stray Kids'. Some less edgy songs of theirs I'd recommend are: Chill, Cover Me and Social Path (the last one is a japanese track with LiSA composed by Bang Chan and where he tells the story of his life until Stray Kids). Hope to see more!

Stray Kids are perfection! They are the only group I have flown out of state to see in my entire 57 (almost 58) years!
My youngest daughter introduced our family to them back during Covid and they saved us all that year!
Be careful of going down the rabbit hole that is Stray Kids-they are addictive! And such truly good people that you feel like they are your best friends. I could literally talk for hours and tell you all the nuances, the inside jokes, the relationships they have with each other and their celebrity besties…
But I won’t. I shall show restraint and just say you will never regret becoming a Stay!

There is no one else like Stray Kids. They are all I ever need.

YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO LALALALA, MEGAVERSE AND SIDE EFFECTS
also, 3racha (bangchan, changbin and han) are heavily invloved with the making of skz songs. they write lyrics, do the song guides and make the soundtracks. theres also danceracha (lee know/lino/minho, hyunjin and felix) who are the main dancers. idk if they make the choreo or have any involvement with it but i think they do. and theres vocalracha (seungmin and I.N/jeongin), they are the main singers of the group👍👍if u want more information then i reccomend looking up a skz guide (as in guide to stanning the group and getting to know them)
about solo songs, every member has made their own song more than once. you can find them mostly on the album Replay.
the ones youve reacted to here are very hype sounding and some songs that sound sad and are sad are Silent Cry, Lonely St, Voices and a lot more

14:24 theres absolutely loads because they indeed produce their own music! There is "5 star intro part 3" and one of the more latest ones is "Rockstar intro part 2". They take you through the process of recording their latest (self-directed!) albums.
19:30 they have gone through so much music. As in the title, you watched their top songs which are all title tracks and are intense. There's a lot more depth in the other tracks of each of their albums. Since they all participate in songwriting their lyrics can get real deep. Here are some suggestions:
Secret Secret
Sorry I Love You
Lost Me (Japanese track)
Cover Me
Leave

he's obviously new in kpop world. the word "better" and group names in one sentence is like a trigger for world war in kpop world. even the mere mention if other groups is a no go.

Late to the party but "deep voice guy" felix has his own song called deep end and his vocal range is insane

I love Stray Kids so much ! They produce their own songs and there are many behind the scenes not only for their mv, but for their production process like behind the scenes 5 Star one of their most recent albums (recording scene and production) , they have really worked hard and you should check more of them. And also should check out an intro guide to stray kids, they show you more about their personal careers and individual selfs.

Hey man, as a Kpop multi fan for 4yrs and a BTS ARMY for 5yrs. I'll let ya know, that no kpop group is "better" than each other. People have their preferences, that's all. But we don't pit groups like that between each other. I understand you probably didn't mean anything by it. But the title will draw the anti's, for either BTS or SKZ. The people who do pit groups against one another. Which for us Kpop fans, who just love the music as a whole, don't appreciate them.

When he said "What is going on?!!"
I was like " wait buddy its just the start , there's a lot to come"❤❤

Stray kids are definitely known for being in sync like since debut they. Have just been amazing
And the one with the deep voice you were on about is Felix

On another note, Han is my favorite solo artist of the group (not a formal solo debut) but damn, his music and lyrics are deep af. He is part of the writing/producing trio in the group.

That guy with deep voice was Felix. You should definitely check his solo, Deep End. I'm sure you'll be amazed

Would recommend FNF (Flora and Fauna) as a sentimental track for Felix and Bangchan as it based on the bushfires in Australia in 2019-2020

the deep voice has a solo song titled “deep end” if you want to check it out!

"I will not compare to..." Proceeds to do that lol

All Stray Kids music is made by themselves. They have a producing team 3RACHA (Bang Chan, Changbin and Han)! They are so unic and talented! Their music is not typical k-pop it's more agressive. And their lyrics are realy deep (you should check b-sides of the albums).

Stray Kidsは最高です。8人の実力はすべて完璧です。❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Song recommendations:
1. Cover me
2. Never ending story
3. Red lights
4. Gone Away
5. 3RACHA/HEYDAY
6. Scars
7. Taste/WOW

My fellow stays already sent all information needed, I guess!
Stray kids are self producted, they have been through LOOOTS of music genres.
I'm glad you enjoyed their work!!!

You might like these guys.Songs such as "easy", ”muddy water" (performed by 4 rappers, old school style), ”maze of memories" (all participants rap), “topline“ feat with Tiger JK (the godfather of rap, stray kids, the first group that made a collab with him).Well, in this group, the fastest rapper in k pop Changbin can listen to his collab with Millie and F.HERO (they are from Thailand, all rappers) the song “mirror mirror”

I almost never comment on stuff but I loved seeing your reaction! And I loved that you were open about not being into Miroh, because some people seem afraid to be honest about things like that so that was refreshing. I love stray kids so freaking much, thank you for reacting!

I love seeing people react to SKZ for the first time! they are such a unique group.
So many people have already commented many of their amazing "deeper" more emotional songs, and I'd love to see you check those out too. It brings such a different side of them out, and they are some of my favorite SKZ songs.
You make Stray Kids STAY :)

Not having thunderous on here is criminal

The guy with the deep voice is Felix, he made a beautiful solo song called, "Deep End" which is actually more of a ballad, it shows his incredible range between his deep tone and high pitch voice. Would love for you to react to that

there is a subunit in stray kids called 3RACHA -- the members that are in 3RACHA are Bang Chan, Han, and Changbin, Bang Chan being the leader. These three guys produce all of the music from the track to the lyrics, etc. sometimes other members will write songs and help produce, too.

Have you checked out dance practices? Don't overlook. Full view choreo is amazing! My personal favorites are Double Knot, Miroh, Back Door, Easy, and Thunderous (in no particular order, mostly because I can't decide, lol).

i laughed at your feedback after S-CLASS because they are heavily involved with producing, writing, and composing their music. 3RACHA is a subunit of SKZ that are the main producers. the rest of the group has had their hands in writing music, but these three take on a lot of projects! their stage names are BangChan, Changbin, and Han (during their underground days, they went by CB97, spearB, and J.ONE). chan specifically has the 3rd most KOMCA credits to his name. he is also the youngest, along with the ONLY 4th generation kpop idol to be featured in the top 10!

Thanks for checking StrayKids! As you are not that familiar with Kpop in general, I can understand the need for reference aka compering them with BTS, however, they are a great band in their own unique way. I, as an ARMY, enjoy both of their sound. :) Please check out more of their music and you will definetly find someting for your liking!

If you go to Stray Kids KRplus channel, you can go to the INTRO vids and it shows the behind the scenes recording and making of the newest albums and specific songs. You get to see 3RACHA producing and guiding the other guys in the recording process, it’s all really cool to watch!

YES STRAY KIDS LETS GOOOO

Stray Kids "FNF" music video is a song written after the fires that happened a while back. It's very meaningful due to the fact that the leader of the group, BangChan and deep voice Felix, are Australian.
Youtiful is a sweet one I recently started listening to.

Stray kids are self produced! Their producing subunit, 3racha, were formed before the group existed. Their ‘intro’ videos show the thought process behind the music and their recording sessions. ‘5-star intro’, ‘rock-star intro’ etc.
If u wanna see more ‘depth’, then I recommend checking out their latest mini-album “rock-star” that has around 7-8 songs, or any of their albums really.

They are self-produced, there are videos in their own channel on how they create their music.

Stray Kids produce their own music. The three members mainly in charge of producing are Bangchan٫ Han٫ and Changbin. The trio is nicknamed 3Racha٫ and are also the rappers of the group. The Dancers (nicknamed DanceRacha) include Felix٫ Lee Know٫ and Hyungjin. Then lastly we have the vocal team : VRacha. That is Seungmin and I.N. (also Woojin who left the group and is now a soloist). But even though they have groups for each category٫ all the members are all-rounders and can dance٫ sing٫ and rap. Also the one who's energy you liked was Han. He's one of their top 2 producers٫ but the main producer is Bangchan. Bangchan is the oldest and leader or of the group. There's even a joke that he's a tired father trying to take care of his 7 kids(the members)

For more of Felix’s deep voice he opens the music video for their song Megaverse with that deep rap. Personal songs: Their group’s leader Bang Chan (a.k.a. Christopher because he grew up in Australia) is one of their 3 main song writers and producers. He is the one that makes most of their beats. He has written a few songs about his obsession with making music. One is called Red Lights with fellow member Hyunjin, who is obsessed with dancing, where they talk about their obsessions like they are addictions and prisons that they sometimes wish they could be free from but also can’t live without. Another song he wrote is kind of a spoof song called Up All Night where he talks about having constant insomnia because ideas for new songs come into his head and he has to get up and work all night. (The video for that one is silly and they are dressed as vampires, but he’s talking about real things that he struggles with.

The deep voice guy is called Felix. He is not the member who write songs so often, but there is a solo song he wrote and composed called ‘Deep End’ where you can enjoy his tone of voice fully, not only deep ass voice but his falsetto as well. Enjoy!!

Stray kids make basically all their song 3racha is the main sub unit at produces and make the songs which has Han Bangchan and chanbin in the subunit.
Bangchan the leader actually picked out all the members himself. But they do have behind the scenes of their music videos it is super cool you can see that they don’t use green screens really like an S-class. How do you saw the fire coming up? That was actually there they didn’t edit it in and stuff it’s so cool. And in gods menu, the part where Hyunjin was standing in between cars going past him, he was actually standing in between the cars. The cars actually went past him. They also have a whole storyline between all of their music videos, and which connect to trailers to also a lot of their choreograph is choreographed by them to buy the subunit dance Racha, which is a Hyunjin Leeknow and Felix

I really appreciate your reaction, I just came to your channel because of this video, I am a big fan of stray kids and I would like to tell you some things about them, they are a musically self-produced group and there are three of them who compose/produce everything and they are the subunit 3RACHA, sometimes they have the help of other producers like VERSACHOI. There are currently 8 members in the group (they debuted as 9 but one left due to unknown problems), that is why in older videos you will be able to see 9 boys.
In order to debut, they had to compete in a survival show and finally managed to debut in 2018 under the company of JYP. I recommend these songs with a little more variety and not only in Korean c:
- I Know I Love You (It is a fairly soft song, written by Changbin, rapper of the group, but they all sing)
- Charmer (does not have mv, you could watch the video with lyrics)
- Social Path Feat. Lisa (Japanese song)
- Hall of Hame (does not have mv, you could could see a presentation they made)
- TOPLINE Feat. Tiger JK
- Limbo (Lee Know solo, main dancer)
- Deep End (only by Felix, the one with the thick voice)
- CLOSE (only by Han, rapper and producer in the group)
- Drive (duo Lee Know and Bangchan, the leader)
- Ice Cream (Hyunjin only)
- Star and raindrops (Seungmin solo, vocalist)
- Hug Me (I.N solo, vocalist)
- Red Lights (duo Hyunjin and Bangchan)
- Streetlight (only from Changbin, rapper and producer in the group)
- The View
- Silent Cry (does not have mv, you could watch the video with lyrics)
- GONE AWAY (han, seungmin and i.n)
- TASTE (Lee Know, Hyunjin and Felix, from this you could see a presentation they made)
- SLUMP (I recommend The First Take video)
- EASY
- Maze Of Memories
Well I already wrote too much, I hope you can see some of these really TT

there are a ton of behind the scenes for productions! every comeback the film the creative process and recording sessions. it's all on their KRplus channel, hope you react to it! great reaction! we love STRAY KIDS!

3RACHA consisted of 3 members of the group. they have writing, producing and/or arranging credits on all of their songs except “road not taken”. their message has always been to be unapologetically different and proudly stand out from the crowd. i heard a saying that “kpop isn’t the genre of music but just the industry’s name”. Stray Kids are put under the ‘kpop’ blanket but their discography delves into so much more than pop, such as edm/dubstep, pop rock, etc.
overall, would recommend thunderous, megaverse, venom, and so much more.

Hi! I loved your reaction to the boys‘ music, they're super talented indeed.
For the production, most of it is done by 3RACHA, a subunit that consists of the members Bang Chan, Changbin and Han. They have recording videos for some of their tracks, you should definitely check them out!
As for solo songs, there is an album called SKZ-Replay, each of the members has their own song!
Also, love to see you get struck by the Felix effect (deep voice guy) 😂

I really love watching reaction videos omgggg thank you for reacting to stray kids wooo!

I just have to say I love Miroh, but it had no business being here on a top 5 SKZ songs, lmao
I would've picked Thunderous, Side Effects or even Christmas Evel cause that was just legendary
I'm excited to see Isaac discovering 3RACHA's awesomeness. When it comes to self producing groups with unique and distinctive sound Stray Kids definitely takes the cake!

the guys with the deep voice is called Felix and he's done a song with one the members as in a duo called ''because'' and for the behind the scenes, you can check them out just by typing the name of the song and behind the scenes. They film the entire process of filming their MVs.

not them answering your question 😆

Tbh there are so many behind the scenes things with SKZ, they really spoil us with content. Whether its dance practices, MV making videos, videos of them actually learning choreo, or videos of them in the studio working on producing and recording the songs. Its pretty easy to find them on here bc there are A LOT lol. Thanks for checking out and appreciating our boys❤

Stray Kids write, compose, and arrange all of their own music. All members participate in writing these days but main production unit is 3 of them called 3racha. They also have a very heavy hand in choreography too. LaLaLaLa and Megaverse are hard new ones. Venom and Thunderous are also harder older ones that are fairly well known. Cover Me and Leave are off the latest album and are slower, vocal, and personal. Cover Me will blow you away. Social Path brings in the Rock category to the newest album. If you want to hear these members on their own, check out Skz-Replay.

With almost 200 tracks, Stray Kids have just about something for everyone. Bang Chan, their leader, and 2 other members, Han and Changbin are the producing unit and have a hand in almost 99% of their tracks and beats. Not bad for a bunch of guys who avg 25 years old. They can all sing, dance, rap, and write music. It's refreshing that their company lets them make most of their creative choices.
As someone who appreciates all music and has walked this planet for over 5 decades, Stray Kids is everything for me.
We don't love comparisons. Apples and oranges. BTS will always have my respect, but Stray Kids is my now.
Deep voice guy is Felix our sunshine. He has Deep End, his solo song on SKZ Replay released in 2022.

„RM of SKZ…” 😭💀I‘m gonna die…..

Keep watching SKZ and getting into them! There is so much depth to their music. I think you could really like them!
Also congrats! Your bias is Han and Felix is your bias wrecker. 😂

"Cover Me" off of their latest album is so beautiful. It was actually written and produced (with the assistance of their leader) by one of their dancers. Truth is though, all 8 members can do everything.
For the most part SKZ is produced by 3RACHA, which was a pre-debut group they formed themselves. It was later that the rest of SKZ came in and became the Stray Kids we know.
I wouldn't call it a slow song, but I find "Side Effects" to be very meaningful, and the production on it is just stellar. "FNF" is another meaningful song and was written by Bang Chan (the leader and a member of 3RACHA) and Felix (the one with the really deep voice, he names dances and raps, though he has a great singing voice as well). They wrote it after the Australian bushfires of 2019/2020. They are Korean, but both were raised in Australia (Felix was born there) and it really impacted them.
I enjoyed this reaction, SKZ is just so different from anything else in KPop overall (in my very biased opinion at least haha). I subbed in the hopes that you'll dive more into it because they truly do have an impressive discography. They were initially formed in 2017 with their official debut in March of 2018. I think they have something like 17ish albums? projects? idk what you would call them, everytime you turn around they're back with something else. As a fan, it's wonderful.

You should be careful trying to compare two k-pop groups (especially these two) if you don't want a world war 3 in your comments!!

Basically all kpop groups have videos that show the behind the scenes of their music videos. They also have videos of them recording the vocals in the recording studios.

3 racha "wow" for sure most iconic and miningfull song of producers 😊
For real i have chills whenever i listen to chronosaurus, ex, comflex, lonley st., winter falls, because and more more, stays already have written everything in coments

Thank you for reacting to Stray Kids. For a small example of “deeper” songs I recommend Cover Me, Secret Secret and anything else you’d like to listen to (I personally enjoy all of their music). Stray Kids are amazing producers, lyricists, singers, rappers, dancers, and artists, and they have fantastic stage presence (I saw them live). Their songs are unmistakably “Stray Kids”, and the media credited them for creating a new genre that is unique to them called “mala taste” (from the Chinese numbing soup which combines many flavors). Since they produce their own songs they like to experiment, so you will find many different genres in their music. They are also very creative, as you noticed, and I am always amazed at how innovative and prolific they are. Looking forward to more Stray Kids’ reactions.

Thank you for checking out Stray Kids. I'm sure you've been sent so many requests and told how they are self produced and all that great stuff. If you really get into their music, you'll start to realize that even their hype stuff has more meaning than you might give credit for on first pass. That said, every album they do an intro video to explain their music and it can some some of the recording process too. MVs have behind the scenes and their latest album's title track had a little documentary style video done on its production. Chan, the leader and the guy who creates the beats, for a few years did weekly lives where he also explained their music so depending on what your interested in, there is lots of content. These guys are stylistic different from BTS and don't see themselves as making music for everyone but rather prefer to focus on making what they love and telling the stories they want to tell and doing it at their own pace. It think that is why fans love them. Thanks again!

Fun fact: God's Menu is the song from which their whole genre got a name (Mala Taste is the genre, unique to them). Once you know this little detail, the song gets a whole new depth level because it is basically about how they are cooking new songs. Also, 3Racha's name (the producing unit) is inspired the spicy taste Sriracha because they wanted the world to taste the piquant tang of their music. They like to use a lot of word games in their songs, which might not always translate well to English

Check out "Leave". Very pretty slower song. Also, Hyunjin was rated artist of the month in October? He danced to a cover by Motley Crue. The smoothest dancer I have ever seen.

Oh man. The serious stuff?
Well for one, their pre-debut track *Hellevator*. It is both a bop and the lyrics will hit you right in the feels. Its about the trials of training and trying to debut.
Secret Secret (written by Han, bring tissues)
Silent Cry (the members' response to Secret Secret)
Streetlight (solo by Changbin)😢
I Hate to Admit (solo by Bang Chan)😢
Volcano; Run; Alien (solos by Han)
Cover Me 💖😭 (hello big vocals)
Slump
Voices
Scars
Deep End (Felix solo, yes really)
Mirror
Chronosaurus
M.I.A
Social Path is a bop, but the lyrics are 1000% raw.
Levanter
19
Gone Away (is a beautiful badass unit song)
Sunshine
Another Day

they do have some behind the scenes of their album making (recording, producing, dance practicing), they are usually titled stray kids intro, we also see them producing in their other content, one of the members (bangchan) made a song on a live even

"I wanna here more of this guys voice!" We all do man

There's a lot more Solo's, but PLEASE watch these three videos. Thunderous.. Venom.. and Red Lights!! Thnx!

People like you who just enjoy and appreciate everything about these groups, without the judgement of it being Kpop, make me so happy. I genuinely love seeing people enjoy the music and the talent rather than go into it talking about how they don’t like Kpop the whole time

all 8 members have some solo songs on their album caller 'skz replay'! they are:
'connected' by the leader, bangchan
'limbo' by lee know
'doodle' by changbin
'love untold' by hyunjin
'run' by han
'deep end' by felix, the one with the deep voice
'stars and raindrops' by seungmin
'hug me' by i.n.
also for more in depth songs, i would reccomend 'collison', 'red lights', '19'(my favorite song of theirs), 'mixtape #3', 'phobia', 'sorry i love you', 'cover me', and 'scars'.
good luck on your STAY journey!

The group is self produced by 3 members in the group, Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han. They call themselves 3Racha and are actually a hip hop/rap group themselves. Thats why you see a lot of hip hop influence in stray kids. But stray kids is also very talented in their vocals alongside their rap and dance. They are truly a spectacle.

Fun fact: alot of those "special effects" like a bit of the fire and firworks and speeding in cars stunts is real. They actually did it irl. 😆

"i've never seen this much happening in a mv" well let me introduce you to ateez lol

Stray kids has their own music style and you can't really compare it to any other group. We just appreciate each group.
Also majority of their music has deep and meaningful lyrics including the songs you reacted to here. Maybe if you go through the lyrics again, you may see that. But of course their discography is huge and they have tons of slower and more obvious deep seeming songs. I'm sure they are covered in other comments.
There are behind the scenes videos of them recording, practicing etc, and the stray kids INTRO videos are very informative. They do them for each album and break down the meaning behind each song. Example is Go live intro /Oddinary Intro. Hope you check that out.

I say this with all respect and love. The longer you're in, around, or interested in KPop you'll learn to not compare with other groups. I know our brains naturally want to do it and trust me I've even done it or still catch myself in my own brain doing it. But the fandoms can be insane, to say the least, so as hard as it is, especially as a content creator try not even make comparisons or ask questions like "who do you think does X better" or "oh so is this person the main dancer like X or Z?" Trust me it's not worth the headache on your end and also at the end of the day it won't be helpful to you learning about any group or anything to be comparing. So glad that Army told you to react and welcome! I look forward to hopefully seeing you react and learn more about SKZ (the abbreviation for Stray Kids, you'll see a lot of us use). We hope you STAY (STAY is the fandom name 😂 couldn't resist the pun lol).

I saw them in Atlanta last march. I’ve been a fan of them for 3 years. My wife and daughter got me into them. Bang Chan definitely is a hell of a writer and producer. Seeing them live was a hell of an experience. I am a stay and always will be.

I already need to see your reactions to so many other Stray Kids songs!
To answer your question about production, they do it all themselves! The production members are Bang Chan (the leader who handpicked all the members himself), Changbin and Han (main rappers). They have some album recording videos on the Stray Kids channel! Definitely worth a watch as it shows a bit more of their humour, how they mesh and the trust and understanding they have as a group.
They have also showed song progression on live streams before and made songs from scratch in an hour, which shows in more detail their process (which you can find clips of on KRplus). Over the last few albums, more of the members have been getting involved, writing and producing as well. (Hyunjin wrote and produced Cover Me on their latest album which is a ballad style song).
You said you wanted to see more of their songs that have a deeper meaning, so I have listed some below including the meanings, take your pick,
'Silent Cry' - struggles of being stuck in a cycle of pretending to be okay and trying to appear strong when you are really not
'Social Path' - pursuing dreams and individuality in a world that often discourages or rejects those who deviate from societal norms.
'Slump', - feeling stuck in a bad cycle but still finding resilience and determination to keep pushing forward despite the odds
'Sorry, I love you', - you have feelings for a friend and struggle to admit your feelings in case it ruins your relationship
'Leave' - feeling heartbroken after a break up and not yet being over them
'Cover Me', - feelings of loneliness and the desire for comfort and support
'Mixtape:OH' - complicated feelings that come with falling in love for the first time
'#LoveStay' - a song for the fans about how they can face any challenges because STAY are behind them
'Winter Falls' - long lasting feelings after a breakup that don't seem to change like the seasons do
For more of Stray Kids unique sound, I would recommend 'Venom' or 'Hall of Fame' because they feel so unlike other genres.
Felix is the member with the deeper voice, he tends to leave his mark on most songs, for more of his deep voice I would recommend 'Megaverse' , it's another punching powerful song. He also has a solo song called 'Deep end' which shows his duality as well as his vocal range (which is mental).
I have so much more I could say about the members and songs, but I'll restrain as I'm sure you will see the more you get into the Stray Kids rabbit hole.

for their deep songs: silent cry, deep end (felix), hate to admit (bang chan), red light (it has a sexy concept but the song itself is talking about obsession in general and losing yourself to your obsessions), hold on (not super deep but it is about pets and the love that owners have for them, i may have cried reading these lyrics). There's actually a ton ngl, most of their non-title track songs have deep meanings. To get more in-depth explanations about each song in the album, they have intros for every album. You can search for like 5-star intro or rockstar intro and they go through and explain each song. those also give some insight in the production process.

I like how "Felix effect" in God's Menu works every. single. time. with everyone 😄

Hi! Thanks for your reactions!! You’re more than welcome to joying our fandom!! Greetings from Chile!

Hey, they write and produce (or co-produce) almost ALL if their own music! -Very unusual for Kpop groups.
Bangchan (their leader) was also allowed to hand pick the members.

first of all hello and welcome to the stray kids world , you asked something with depth i would recomend 3rd eye,levanter, secret secret, hellevator, slump much more emotional and personal songs also would recommend heros soup, voices, cover me , silent cry, streetlight (changbin solo).these are some stray kids has a handfull of emotional deep songs. i would also love to see your reaction to tortoise and the hare which isnt a emotional song but its really unique for me thank you and welcome!

Stray kids are the best k-pop all-rounder boy group for me🔥

18:04 his name is Felix if you want to hear more of his voice check out his solo song ‘Deep end’

Stray kids legitimately (if I’m correct) only have 1 song in their entire discography that they had no hand in the production or lyrics. They are an amazing group to listen to especially if your love having a significant meaning to the lyrics. With them writing their own music you can find many songs talking about mental health struggles, fears, and just experiences in general. They also have over 40 genres of music mixed into their discography. Many stays(the fandom) have said that they found stray kids when they needed them the most (me being one of them while I was in a deep depression a year ago) the members are all very charitable with Felix (deep voices man) recently being named the youngest member of the unicef honors club for his donation at the beginning of 2024 of 100 million won to health care in Laos. And for those that always see me in the comments or f people newly reacting to skz giving info about the group. Hello hello we meet again lmao.
Edit 2: they were also the first ever kpop group to incorporate the genre psychedelic trance for their song side effect

Yessss professionals reacting to STRAY KIDS is my favorite content in YT, TYSM for checking out and appreciate the music production they are simply amazing!! And one think I love about them is that they truly have a song for every like and mood, from what you said in your comment I about what you like about BTS music and SKZ I believe you might love their pre debut song: Hellevator I also can recommend to you: Levanter, B me, Collision, Silent Cry and Star Lost ❤ again thank you so much and please have a wonderful day ✨🥰✨

Your work is amazing! I especially liked the way you commented on every moment. It was so cool!!)
