This isn't the favorite for a lot of people but I'm completely obsessed. It's so catchy and I can't get enough. I really love the entire album, everything is a little different than what they usually do and I just think it's so much fun
Same this is definitely my favorite comeback other than god's menu cuz it released on my birthday lol
I think a lot of people initially thought that, but ended up loving it. I saw a lot of doubt when they put out the teasers, but when the MV dropped I saw more people go "Oh, it's still got that Stray Kids flavor!"
I love it. Dethroned Maniac as my fave.
Agreed! It‘s refreshing as well!
I love it. I don’t feel the need to compare it to the other songs because I can love it just the same. It still has tons of parts that go really hard even including the chorus so it’s almost like it’s purely the aesthetics that are turning people off 🤷🏻♀️
06:04 actually, bangchan DID step up as a producer and with MAXIDENT he participated in Computer Programming, Digital Editing, Recording Engineer, Piano, Synthesizer, Lyrics, Composer & Instruments. Most of the songs are recorded in
I was blown away by how many times his name appeared on liner notes……no wonder he doesn’t sleep much.
computer programming?
Where can you find this info?
@@takeshino there are credits on the last page of their album
Man doesn't sleep...
It's a great song and MV. I think some people just want God's Menu over and over if you know what I mean. I love that it's bright and fun. It's a bit of a throwback to Awkward Silence or Get Cool. Not quite as silly, but not completely serious either. It's perfectly Stray Kids.
I definitely agree!!! While something like gods menu is favorited I love when they put out fun and bubbly songs like this it’s like a treat
In a way, this MV feels the most like them. I take it as a real love letter to Stay. They're silly in it, it's got a cool concept that ties together all their universe stuff, their MV production team really gets them and edited everything epically. Everything is perfect, not to mention how good the song is.
It just all feels like a big thank you.
I also thought of Awkward Silence and Get Cool! It's such a fun song but still with great "wow" twist moments that the darker concepts have.
I saw some want another Miroh as a title track..
I agree. I've missed these type of concepts since " I AM" series. Even the maniac tour didn't play any colorful songs this year in the setlist. Songs like the view weren't performed live this year. I'm glad skz is at a point in their careers where they can promote colorful concepts as the title track. I'm glad to be with them since the beginning. They are my ult groups because they always impress me. They are not burnt out yet. I cant wait to see what else they can do next
The video is such a good example of visual storytelling. The inciting incident, the peak action, plot twist, resolution...has it all. In three minutes. With dancing taking a good chunk of the run time. So good.
This is super comment.
Y E S
Louder!❤️🔥🔥
I think it was Bang Chan who said it, maybe during Kingdom, that one thing Stray Kids excels in, is being witty. I totally agree.
Not only is it fun on an auditory level, where they can be really creative with their compositions, but also with all of their concepts. And being able to make witty connections across multiple languages, english and korean, just gives it even more depth. And that obviously shows within their lyrics, ever so playful, regardless if they go hard or tame, and in their videos! All in all, this may not be my favourite title track, but it's for sure a hella fun one! The ep is a total win too!!
Bang Chan is such a genius, and with great teamwork too from other members!
@@KiGeprak Don't forget he got his solid Gold 3Racha teammate. Changbin is an idea bank and Han is a talent Ace.
The beginning is not a zombie movie reference, it's inspired by Shinning (as are many scenes later on), and Lee Know acting is like "here comes Johnny" scene.
And the carpet is from the Shining!
I thought them showing their faces between broken wooden boards in like a hotel was obvious enough lmao
what other scenes are a reference to the movie?
@@isal5659 like @thy previously said, the carpet - orange hexagons is the same as in the movie - the hallway carpet, Hyunjin is dressed as a butler from movie, the maze in the heart shape is like a maze garden in movie, the peacock(?) carpet - the one where Felix is examining maze heart is exactly the same as in Shinning bedroom and also the sort of striped white wallpaper is same as in Shinning bedroom, question mark heart wall looks similar to an elevator wall design. There is probably more, but Id need to look at the movie again to remind myself haha
@@christal4117 yeah even before learning that the carpet patterns where exactly the same as the ones form the movie the whole hotel set immediately reminded me of the movie due to the 70s aesthetics
CHAN JUST SAID HE WATCHED YOUR REACTION OMG
their first comeback with "love" as a theme! it's very Stray Kids, i love it
Changbin actually sang that “can I be your boyfriend” line at the beginning! His flow is amazing
I just love the fact that Stray Kids finally had a comeback with a concept that allows I.N to be his adorable self.
13:00 It was a green screen with the boys in the top shot, Lee Know jumped down onto a green screen box then to the ground, it was actually extremely cool to watch the MV behind the scenes they posted today
I've been waiting for this from SKZ! They've done full cute concepts (Awkward Silence, Get Cool etc.) but this is a perfect meld of that charming adorableness combined with the more intense vibe they're known for. This song may not be the catchiest they've released, but it certainly is the cleanest storytelling/production I've seen yet. This MV also does a great job of showcasing how SKZ never takes themselves too seriously, which is something that I've always valued and appreciated about them :) silliness
Well said! These guys are so unserious when they are together. The dynamics and energy often reflect in their MVs. They only work with a selective few MV production teams. These production houses probably know how to showcase the guys and the essence of the songs.
The song is catchy for me
its acc really catchy and addicting
The thing is, groups that are consistently great inevitably have songs that are 10/10 but still not our favorite from that particular group. This song is insane on so many levels so I love picking it apart as I listen
Stray Kids songs are arrangers’ dream come true. There’s so much to pick apart how the songs were structured and arranged.
So well said!
They included the deaf community by adding the signs for 143 and I love you in the choreography.
The hotel is a "version" of the Shinning and Lee know was doing the "here's johnny" part
also the floor in the first shots is very similar to the floor from Shining
Bangchan said who watched your reaction in chan's room !💖💖💖
I hope BangChan sees this so he can pass it along to the other members and they can appreciate your appreciation of them.
he just mentioned it today on his live
As a long time kpop stan and just over a year old Stay, I somehow have enough faith on these boys to say, every comeback of Stray Kids will be their best comeback yet. These boys have exceeded all of my expectations and I don't think any other kpop group has a more well rounded discography than Stray Kids. 3Racha knows what they're doing, and I will proudly say, despite being a multistan, this 4th gen kpop group has all my heart. I wish them nothing but success and hope they someday get the recognition they deserve.
this song has such magical transitions . from bangchan's soft salsa bridge to changbins explosive kick its fantastic. but i have to say again, felix first chorus plus the clean choreo is my fav
Case 143 is in a category all on it's own, it's a favorite of mine in many ways and so, so close go dethroning Back Door as my all time favorite title. I love how Stray Kids know how to switch things up (and always at the right time, they know when to dip into a different genre and not oversaturate with the same sound back to back in a bland way) and never let their quirk diminish. No matter the genre, that's their killing point. It's always their bombastic nature that wows the most, yet it always feels new each time because of how they more maturely present it with each consecutive comeback!
SKZ first title track "Love" concept. Fits in with the title of the 7th mini album - “'Maxident' is a compound of ‘maximum’ and ‘incident,’” Hyunjin said. “It represents how love is like a big accident that happens out of the blue.”
As others have noted, the beginning contains references to Stanley Kubrick's 1980 film "The Shining" - such as the carpet, the maze, the broken door (famous for Jack Nicholson's "Here's Johnny" quote) and the general look of the hotel at the beginning.
Reggarding the design of the carpet used in "The Shining". It wasn't made for Kubrick, it was probably just bought off the shelf. Its actually from a design called "Hicks' Hexagon" by David Hicks. He is one of the most outstanding interior designers of all time . He lived from 1929-1998. He designed carpets for Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace. No doubt the video production would have needed permission to use it. Kubrick liked to use symbols in his set design but there are various ideas why he used this pattern:
1. It gives an unnerving, mesmerising presence
2. Fits to Kubricks symmetrical "one-point perspective" framing, and gives lengthening effect to the corridor.
3. Definition of "hex" symbolises evil
4. Kubrick had big interest in chess and war strategy. Hex boards and maps are used in those games. In the film, Danny,the child,is positioned in different places in consecutive shots, moving like a chess piece.
5. A hexagon has 6 sides, referencing Danny having psychic ability - a sixth sense.
Hope that explains the carpet better!
I think Stray Kids mastered how to make a catchy song like they can somehow make such a catchy beat and get it stuck in your head
I'm Army and I don't know enough about SK, but this song popped up on my Sp0tify and I've been hooked since! It's such a fun song. Going to start looking into them. They're impressive!
stray kids really has the cleanest and most unreal music videos in the entire industry by far, it's insane how clean their MV are
So many people saying this is not their favorite comeback, as someone that became a stay with My Pace and Get Cool I just had to say it's my favorite comeback and I'm always in awe at how SKZ keeps delivering new fresh things that still feel very much SKZ
They are the standard
Been stanning them since 2018 and this is definitely one of my most fave title track they released 🥰
I love this TT, too. To talk about Love (or the first stage of love) without sounding corny or stale is NOT easy. SKZ strikes a perfect balance between being real and being tongue in cheek. The MV perfectly matches the essence of Case 143.
Yes!!!!
That one Felix & Changbin moment is actually all Changbin, the editors want you to believe it was Felix (but he was lipsyncing it lol)
Case 143 is actually the first title track since Gods Menu that I actually liked very much! It is just so fun and more melodical
SONG EXPLANATION 🫶
The heart are actually virus that spread(pipi a.k.a big pink heart) skz and the reason the chicken got mad at felix because felix accidentally infected the chicken and that's why in first scene you can see fire because the virus is everywhere so changbin called the cops(bangchan)...so whoever gets affected acts irrationality (to make crime)
When you pay attention to the chorus "WHY DO I KEEP GEETING ATTRACTED IM DRAW TO YOU LIKE A MAGNET I CANNOT EXPLAIN THIS REACTION THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY IS 143" they can't explain why their acting this way but we know the root of the problem is not stray kids themselves its the little heart monster (love) So cop kids capture them and in the last scene where I.N sings"CAN I BE THE ONE? YEA I'LL BE THE ONE" their in the heart monsters base they tried to end their daydreaming(virus) by pulling the plug. the set around them starts malfunctioning so they all put the plug back which stop the set from collapsing and then they sing this *IM GONNA LET YOU KNOW THAT IM JUST GONNA GO I'LL HOLD YOU SO I'LL NEVER LET YOU GO" basically their saying their saying they love you no matter what.
THANK YOU FOR READING 🫶
Great writing!
Can the case also be made that Stray Kids have the bigger budget for their multiple music videos per comeback because money is not spent on producers and writers for their albums because they are doing it themselves?
Omg, I never thought of that! It might be. I mean...they still have to pay 3racha and the boys but I'm sure that that amount is still smaller (gonna get waaaaay bigger when they renegotiate their contracts in three years).
@@d.s.19 yeah well that’s the thing… you never know how much outside producers and writers charge/sell their music for. 3RACHA had better be the most highly paid producers at least within JYPE when they sign their new contracts!! Or else!!! 😤 😅
@Stacie you can assume like I think 10-40k for outside placements
This is what we Stays always said when new Stays marveled at how many MVs for b sides SKZ have. Now that our boys are selling like crazy, the production budget for MVs will be even better.
Well but they still have to pay the members for that, it's not like they do it for free.
OMGGGG❤ BANGCHAN SAW THIS REACTION ✨✨✨🤟
stray kids always do stray kids. witty, goofy, fun, exciting, and surprising. that's why i love them and will never get tired with their songs because they are being real to themselves. and yeah only stray kids can do this.
Honestly I love the song. My favorite title track is still probably Thunderous, but I truly appreciate how outside of their comfort zone they went with this one. The MV is probably my favorite one though, it's insanely creative and it's really telling a story. It has so many different concepts and it manges to put them all together for a cohesive end result and that is soooo impressive to me.
I just found out that Chan saw this reaction, he is everywhere, Chan love this reaction me too and many STAYS are delighted with this ♥️
The beginning and this video actually has references from the Shining..not from a zombie movie.
I loved the behind the scenes for this mv, just seeing how they did all this. Especially the way Lino jumped down was fun :D
Truuueee, that's my favorite bit of the behind the scenes. I'm so glad they showed how they did it. It seemed so fun to film
Finally PD’s review! I have to say the MV production team is top notch. To have a complete narrative and story arc to match the lyric and top line is not an easy task. Thanks to SKZ’s witty lyrics, to illustrate the infatuation stage of love in a “case” story is done so well for this MV. It is so fun to watch and rewatch the MV. I’d call it a case of perfect song and MV marriage :)
SKZ never fails to amaze me. They defy all convention in their music, styling, and m/v. It really is genius.
The wit in their music and flows to their concepts to a whole. It's so amazing to watch.
“when will Stray Kids stop..”
same.. 😂😭 they always level up their game
Stray Kids and the people they work with are definitely geniuses
I'm loving Changbin's flow and cadence in this title track tbh. He's such a great rapper.
stray kids' creativity is something that really sets them apart from others and something i will always adore, like this is a love song but I never expected them to just play it safe like everyone else everything from the lyrics to the melody and the mv combined created a one of a kind comeback just like they always do I loved case 143 since first listen and maxident itself too i just really appreciate when someone does things their own way
Omg I never noticed, but now that you pointed it out, the topline does resemble samba melody
This is personally one of my favourite MVs from Stray Kids, the song, the MV sets, the styling all meshed for me better than their more recent MVs.
This hotel setting is referancing to the movie The Shining. The hallway carpet, the elevator, the heart maze, and the broken door/wall.
It is really unique title track for Stray Kids, it's really good and got me hooked. SO COOOLLLL
The song structure is so interesting to me. Love how all the parts combine so well 💘
Love the MV, and they doing something different... but still so SKZ. 💯👌🏽
I can't help it, it's SO catchy
I'm so glad they went with a colorful song as the title track. I've missed these type of concepts since " I AM" series like get cool and awkward silence. Even the maniac tour didn't play any colorful songs this year in the setlist. Songs like the view weren't performed live this year. I'm glad skz is at a point in their careers where they can promote colorful concepts as the title track. I'm glad to be with them since the beginning. This type of concept dosent feel new compared to other STAYS. They are my ult group because they always impress me. They are not burnt out yet. I cant wait to see what else they can do next
The first scene feels like an homage to The Shining also the part where Lee Know was peeking through the cracked door reminds me of the Jack Nicholson scene where he went “Here’s Johnny!”
I recommend watching the behind the scenes video! As an audiovisual student myself, I had so so much fun watching the behind the scenes! Such an amazing music video and the editing is phenomenal.
I love that even though they change the dominant genre it’s still sounds like a stray kids title song. For me personally I can only say that about a handful of groups that even when they change genres in their title tracks it’s still sounds like that group and flows perfectly with the rest of their discography.
yes i WILL always see felix being slapped by a chicken. now till forever 😄😭
stray kids just makes you HAPPY. they are so creative and lovely and talented 💜 catchy and good quality music.
4:36 "Damn that spin was sexy!"
Thank you! When I first saw it I had to watch it back a few times and then was yelling at Han to put his tongue back in his mouth! I can't handle him 😂
8:10 is actually a reference to The Shining! It’s the exact same carpets from the movies! Also right after Changbin isn’t playing off of Felix’s line that’s Changbin saying it they just have it coming out of Felix’s mouth lol
that statement “this my fav title track” is trueeee, every comeback I loveee the title and the whole album
case 143 is now one of my favorite skz title tracks, it has so many catchy parts i was hooked from the start (my personal favorite parts are felix's rap followed by lee know and seungmin)
I've been a casual listener of skz since their debut but I really got drawn in because of maniac and I'm just so happy that I was fully here for this comeback specifically because I love everything (sounds, look, promotions) so much
Casual listener since predebut👍
The scene with the pink sky was actually filmed outside and then recolored, and honestly I think their outfits suited the actual outside far more than the recolored version. But man, this song just….I was so worried that I wasn’t gonna like it, but I can’t stop listening to it. It’s so catchy and playful and it has the hard hitting sections that I love, but my absolutely favorite part is the ending hook-“I’m gonna let you know, that’s I’m just gonna go!” It just hypes up the end of the song so well. That was a critique of mine for Maniac; I wanted a more bombastic finale. Gosh, the creativity and fun of this MV is off the charts, and still feels so wholly *Stray Kids.* Stray Kids can be pink and enamored and cute while still being their badass selves.
1=I 4=love 3=you. 143 I think is such a creative play on saying I love you. The way their minds think always boggles my mind and make me love them more each new song.
Not sure if you meant that Stray Kids coined the meaning but 143 (I love you) has been around for decades 🤭
@@akinoyui ok and they're the first ones to use it in their category
Oddinary is still my favorite album of theirs, but I'm enjoying this comeback so much.
13:06 actually this part was made irl they created the half screen with a green screen bottom and made lee know jump down infront of that green screen and dance and they edit the other members in with a other shot that's why Chans facial expressions are the same :)
This is the song that got me into stray kids lol. Im a sucker for soft-ish kpop songs but i have liked listening to their other songs too
PD always taking the words out of my mouth. The song started growing me with every listening and I'm not a fan of love songs, but they are the only ones to make me dance and chant for one. Definitely thanks to all the records sales they're getting, the budget is bigger. As your said, you will no notice since JYPE now's how to use the budget they get for SKZ. Thank you so much, I was kinda terrified you didn't like it but c'mon it's Stray Kids, they're doing everything unique and spectacular
I was so curious to hear your opinion, I kinda had a feeling you would like this title track as its so creative and colorful. I immediately loved the song, its a side we haven't seen from SKZ yet and it feels like a breath of fresh air
What amazed me the most was the perfect storytelling of this song and mv ❤️ I forgot how important this was for song to be memorable... Well now I remember because I already have sentiment for this release
Geez my english is so chaotic but I hope you know what I'm talking about
The MV and the song is very addictive
Love love love this reaction!!!! Even the most abundant appreciation for BangChan seems inadequate IMO. He's just so talented and hardworking ✨✨✨
I'm just gonna have to say thisvsong is amazing for a title track.
I love everything about is as the vocals and raps are in point as ever and Jisung is just completely wreckig me this comeback what I mean by this is he has jumped straight to being my ult wrecker (I'm not ready to have 3 ult biases in SKZ yet) and this man just does something to not only my ears when he raps but also to my eyes.
I just love the way he raps as to me it's unique in a way.
Also I gotta give my love to my two ult biases Felix and Hyunjin as they also did such an amazing job.
The MV is everything I needed and I love the use of the colour pink aswell as it's one of my fav colours also I'm loving the story aswell and the lads did something they haven't done before and that's having a love song as the title track.
Also 143 means I love you in Internet slang so this song is basically called case I love you.
The carpet, looking through the boards, and the maze are all from the Shining. They’ve been possessed by an unfamiliar emotion- love. It’s just so good!!!
Never clicked so fast ❤️🥰❤️Love you PD 😍😍😍😍😍...Let's go Stray Kids🔥🔥🔥Their whole Album is literally FIREEEEEEEEEE
The Lino part where he jumps from the top video to the bottom one was made out of green screening. They filmed the dance part without Lino, than they filmed the running scene at a scenario that was high and all green on the bottom, so he really jumps down some crates land and starts dancing right away. This can be seem at the BTS video, but those who were curious I bring the spoilers lol
Thank you. I love this video and it is so creative and how they used the move The Shinning as a theme. The carpet, hotel, the maze, are all references from the move and so is the scene with Lee Know came in between the open wood grain is a scene where the main character Johnny hammers a whole in the bathroom door with an axe and says Here is Johnny. Felix was infected first with the heart monster similar as Johnny was infected with an unknown entity. It was a great way to introduce their first love song where they don't understand the emotion and so fun to watch the m/v. But for me my favorite comeback is Oddinary and my favorite album is Oddinary. My favorite song besides Case143 is the unit song written by Dance Racha is Taste.
You should watch the making of this m/v it is wild seeing how creative the video editors are. I watched an interview where Han said that Case 143 is the first song he didn't write the rap lines he did the other lyrics and the melody.
Only Stray Kids make me see MVs again and again than still feel fun ! ❤
There are a lot of The Shining references in this mv, especially at the beginning. The lee know scene you pointed out is from "Here comes Johnny!" scene in the shining
Always enjoy your reactions to the Kids! I think this might be my favorite Stray Kids MV - or title MV at the very least. And the song (and dance!) refuses to leave my brain. Thanks for the reaction!
Saw someone on tiktok say that case 143 has phineas and ferb song vibes and I couldn't agree more, but in a good way of course! The song is so catchy and let's be honest phineas and ferb had absolute BANGERS so that's a great comparison I think.
This comeback was the one that finally made me look into the group more. I just bought the album and I finally know all their names. Already have a bias lol
who’s ur bias
@@kelkellys Bangchan 🎉
I like how they can fit a narrative in a 3 minute video.
That clash when you fall in love: Reason (the police) vs the feelings (them with the hearts)!
this is honestly, my favorite stray kids title track. I'm not afraid to say it. this is something I have been playing 24/7 since it came out; and the video???? like come on now.
skz's team reached the point where they know they're ELITE when it comes to making the best mvs that they're just having fun at this point
Words can’t even describe how talented they are!! Chan forever my one and only~
CHAN REACTED TO YOUR CASE 143 REACTION IN HIS NEW VLIVE‼️
I love them so much it hurts, but their choreo (as FIRE AS IT IS) is not done for longevity. It’s always so hard and I feel bad for their future selves😂😂
They NEVER DISAPPOINT.
The first scenes visually have many references from The Shining
STRAYKIDS = CREATIVITY
This song made me a fan of them. It’s so good I can’t stop listening to it. Also I went through their previous albums and I was shocked by how many great songs they have, tons of bops!!!!
For anyone who missed the reference, that creative shot at 12:20 of the video is a reference to the Korean movie Oldboy! Most iconic scene ever
I feel like this mv really doubled down on the meme of it all. I love it.
the fan favorite is definitely "Taste" so I hope you check out the whole album
The listening party for the Maxident album is so awesome! ❤
this might be my fav from them and ive never really been into their music. so so good and the whole album is a banger
the music genre you mentioned is bossanova, it's from brazil culture
I feel like Chan was inspired by the music of LA LA Land. I remember that he and Felix performed City of Stars. I hear its influence in the jazzy sections.
i have been waiting for your reaction since Friday😭 always appreciate your comments and analysis you are one of my fav reactors in yt ❤
Honestly my kinda music is God's menu, Thunderous, side effects... but I'm so glad SKZ doesn't stick to these and no matter what typa tt they release they never lose their I'd sound (iygwim) also they never miss w their bsides I'll always find one I love in it. This comeback/tt may not be my favourite but it definitely is a hit. My favourite is super board, gmytmi, can't stop, 3racha, Taste you know what FUCK THAT EACH SONG IN THE ALBUM IS MY FAVOURITE! They really don't make it easier for us to choose huh
Oh it definitely will grow on you, trust me. Great reaction as always PD 💗
I love your reactions, can't wait for full album review & reaction 🥺
I've been waiting for your reaction. thank you!!
this video, song, and while comeback as a whole was just so cool! Love it sm
In that one clip of Lee Know jumping from one scene to the next, they actually used a green screen! They filmed the top portion on a second story with a set and the first story just had a green screen background which Lee Know actually jumped down onto; they then added the bottom clip without Lee Know in it onto the green screen
