The fact that 3RACHA Wow is so infamous in the fandom that people hardly batted an eye at Hoodie Season coming out of nowhere in SKZ's discography because comparatively it was so much tamer lmao
"iron man in the streets but i'm better than tony" PLEASE we all know they wanted the lyric to be: "iron man in the streets, tony in the sheets" watching you laugh hysterically over the SKZOO performance is an absolute DELIGHT! the seriousness on their faces just gets me every dang time- hyunjin in particular just exudes coolness, but is completely betrayed by how adorable he looks as jiniret lol
Changbin is an actor! He commits to every performance. The zombie practice killed me!!! 🤣 I was on break at work and he made me laugh so loud at the end!.....everyone stopped and looked at me. 😳😅
I think Studio Choom staff (or Mnet staff, not sure which) made a separate video talking about which Studio Choom videos were their favorites and picked Hyunjin as best idol dancer :)
LOVE how you check out the associated content with each song! (Like Levanter English version, Maze of Memories KCON opening, Wow 3RACHA reaction, etc.) It really adds to the experience and lets you in on what it was like going through those releases over time and how they developed specific meanings within the fandom Super fun to revisit all the different types of content with you!!
Agreed so much! It's nice to see someone discover SKZ in general, but most people just blow through the videos that say "MV" in the title and then call it a day, and it's a total letdown to people aware of just how overwhelmingly much complementary content SKZ has. She's diving into SKZ full force, and it's so much more satisfying and enjoyable to get to re-experience that journey with her.
Mel I will say this was an impeccable lineup today, 3Racha’s “dark past” WOW will forever be amazing Studio Choom’s Pd had an interview where he was asked to choose the best idol dancer and he chose Hyunjin for the male so that’s why Hyunjin was thanking them I’ve been waiting for you to react to Levanter for the longest time I knew you would love it !!! When Stay’s needed it the most queen Levanter was released, it holds a very special place in all Stays’ hearts, there’s also a Lovestay version of the Levanter dance practice is REALLY cute, the whole song and choreography of Levanter is just so BEAUTIFUL Maze Of Memories just further proved stray kids is made up of 8 rappers, vocalists, dancers, etc. And when I tell you Seungmin’s verse had Stay Twitter on a chokehold you can already imagine how that went lol Thunderous skzoo ver is so funny, they said it was relatively easy to dance in the suits but the head is kinda heavy lol
HAHA Omg I can imagine the chaos after Seungmins rapping lol!! But I was also taken out by I.N! His rapping voice and the style in this song is very attractive!!!
To this day Levanter is still one of my favorite title tracks. I love that song so much and the dance practice is such an underrated one. Literally everyone shines in it.
I love how Felix was so in character like he did his moves so zombie like...Changbin is just that hungry zombie. For the Thunderous skzoo, I was so surprised and proud that they all managed to dance in those costumes...and you got it right we do say ski-zoo... Lee Knows face drawing is called Jereumi I feel like I got used to these more than an hour long videos, like any shorter and it'd feel like incomplete. Anyway!! Thanks for this!!
I think it was the producers of studio choom who did an interview where one of the questions they were asked was who they considered the best dancers, and they chose hyunjin as the best male dancer and chaeryeong from itzy as the best female dancer 😉
also seungmin is actually a really good rapper I highly recommend looking up a compilation of him rapping (he even rapped faster than changbin and han on weekly idol w/ BRACES). there’s also a video of him rapping hans part in gods menu during a live performance :))
The first time I saw the music video for Cheese i knew i would have to check I.N always for expressions. He lets everyone know how he feels and i love that about him! Changbin will have me dead by the end of this comeback, i swear. Send flowers to him so he knows. 🤣 He's so satisfied with himself, ha ha. Wow just reminds me of the fact that they're called 3racha just because they wanted to call themselves hot. . . Which is great but i always wonder what we get stuck with from our teenage years... 🤣 My friend got me fridge magnets w/ pics from Levanter era for my birthday this year and they're all so beautiful.
PS (Sorry my comments are always ridiculously long...) Maze of Memories throws me for a loop every time i hear it. I need more rapping from the vocal line.
Yessss Maze of Memories is why I became a stay honestly 8 all rounders 😫 Actually fun fact Seungmin auditioned for JYPe with both rapping and singing....and he got in so 😭 He said jokingly when he gets his braces off he'll become the main rapper, but I need it to actually happen 😭 I'm obsessed with this kcon performance The full version has some from gidle and Hongjoong Mel its just Skiz-zoo 😭
My ass definitely watched until the end😌💀Totally worth it! It's so therapeutic & wholesome to have u & other stays react to skz content & u're such a mood✨ Makes me feel less like a weirdo & more understood for caring & being so passionate about them & certain groups
levanter is genuinely one of my (if not THE) favorite skz title tracks, mostly because of the lyrics (considering how it came out right after that individual left the group.... yeah it lines up even though i know the song was made beforehand). sadly though, it never got the attention it deserves... even though it earned a music show win.... ppl always complain abt how skz's music is "just noise" but when they do a slower more soulful title, they ignore it 😐 it's frustrating. but anyways, i'm really happy that you enjoyed it so much. thank you for your videos always
P.S. You technically have heard Levanter, you just didn't know it at the time! Lee Mujin sang a big of it at the beginning of Lee Mujin Service, it sounded so different!
@@melaniereacts Yes, I will love to watch it with you, Melanie, it's so wholesome and shows how much he worked for it. After his AOTM got released he even told us on bubble he cried from happiness because he was working so hard and he was scared if we like it because it was completely new style of dance and new side of him 😢
wow was our unofficial fandom representative song for years ahh levanter is so underrated, one of my favourite title tracks from skz (it's also the first song released after wj left) THE ENGLISH VERSION AS BEAUTIFUL, one of the more well made english ver. sometimes i sing the eng version instead, it's just so pretty oh to clarify the 'seungmin auditioned with rap' comments, he didnt exactly audition with rap, it's more a joke that skz do to tease him by pushing the kim seungmin main rapper agenda (which i fully approve of). what happened is his audition process was a competition kind of thing and he was part of JYP 13th Open Audition and came 2nd. you had to perform a few stages and in two(?) of the performances he did with other contestants he had to rap and sing so ppl took that as, he auditioned with rap IM STILL UPSET THEY HAVENT GIVEN US THE BEHIND OF SKZOO CUZ YOU JUST KNOW THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DO THAT IN A FEW TAKES
Levanter is definitely one of my favorites. It just feels so strangely encouraging to me. Thanks for the video! Your reactions made me laugh along with you!
I love the studio choom contest,its always funny and the way they edit the videos is very original . someone already mentioned it, but I hope that at some point you can see the behind the scenes of hyunjin's atom (choreo-record). It really made me notice the great effort and how hard the dancers work, I have always enjoyed the performances and musical shows, but I never paid attention to what is behind everything that one sees already on stage, I really loved seeing that video .
Soooo glad you reacted to Levanter dance practice, I've been watching it over and over lately. One of the few times Felix gets a center solo feature....and it's so beautiful, both the song and the pictures they make with their bodies.....And it was great to watch the funny things again, like the Wow reaction and zombie practice. Have you watched the Awkward Silence dance practice yet? The song is goofy, maybe not their top tier, but funny with great sound effects, and the dance is so hilarious. I'd also love to know what Korean sayings or catch phrases I'm missing. It took me awhile to realize that kdramas use the sound of cawing crows to point up when there is an awkward silence moment, so it is a familiar shorthand in Korea, and I'm sure there are tons of those types of things that I missed......
The Levanter dance seems very different to a lot of their usual choreo. I think that's what makes it so special!! It's strong and sharp yet soft and full of emotion at the same time! Super interesting!!!
These themed dance practices have become some of my faves! They dont have to take it too seriously and can just have fun. Sorry but I would willingly hand over myself to zombie Changbin! I've been thirsting over that man for nearly 2 years and now all of a sudden he wants to be in his "spicy era" and everyone wants a piece. I hope yall can fight! lol. No but seriously, we've always talked about his growl but WHEW, this is something else lol I was so excited to see that you were reacting to Thunderous SKZOO that I didn't even see "WOW" in the title. OMG that song, I cant even defend it but I love how memey it became, they're such dorks lol. But I still cant get over how serious they were doing that SKZOO choreo lol. Those suits look hot af too so I dont blame them for not redoing the ending lol KING Maze of Memories!! Everybody flexes in this and I go OFF to this song in the car. You cant tell me I'm not Felix as soon as "Ima look back" starts LMAO. And QUEEN Levanter is another one of my fave songs and MVs, they look and sound AMAZING and I love the whole aesthetic! This was right after that other guy left so this really felt like they got closer, strengthened up, and left that chapter behind them. I love how much they hold onto each other in the choreo too. Btw, the photocards from that MV are expensive af, I own 3 of them and if I sold them it would cover half of my rent next month lol
Hahahaha Omg I laughed so much at this comment 🤣🤣🤣 I have a question in regards to Changbin. You said he is in his spicy era! I have been wondering if he has always been this spicy or if this era is like extra and everyone is just losing their shit????
@@melaniereacts He’s always played up the whole “I’m the real visual of the group” but it’s mostly been cutesy. I feel he was waiting for the perfect moment to unleash his spicy side and I guess all it took was a little body roll/hip thrust 😂 I’m here for it either way lol
- Ok, I'm one minute in and already excited. Levanter is a work of art, and it's criminally underviewed and unknown to new people (and ignored by a lot of more longtime people for emotional reasons). Both SKZ's and 3RACHA's versions of Maze of Memories are legends. And obviously 3RACHA's WOW is truly a timeless classic... - We got SKZOO ("skiz-oo") vids for both God's Menu and Thunderous, so there's a decent chance we'll get one for Maniac too. If so, it will be epic. Watching them be absolutely serious through the absurdity -- even when they're smacking the sh1t out of each other and losing body parts -- is at _least_ half the fun of SKZOO performances. - Now I'm gonna watch and see if you've watched enough SKZ vids yet to catch all the visual and choreo references in Levanter. Fwiw, a lot of us refer to it as the queen or Queen Levanter, as that's just how it feels among the videography. Especially since it was the first ot8 title track and title MV (Astronaut was the first ot8 MV released, but it wasn't a title, and it was technically made with W and then had him edited out).
Yesss Levanter is AMAZING! It's surprising that it's so underrated! 3racha's WOW is.......... so funny hahahahaha I really hope we get MANIAC SKZOO version! That will be epic!
Levanter is a queen for me. All is so beautiful: MV, lyrics, music, dance, guys themselves. And it’s so amazing that all 3 versions ( Korean, English and Japanese) sound so good.
Omg, I'm so happy I found your SKZ reactions! I don't have anyone to geek out with about them, and it's like I found a friend who loves them as much as I do!
I LOVE watching their Studio Choom BTS. We get to see the boys having fun and enjoying themselves. I was re-watching their GOD'S MENU and THUNDEROUS Studio Choom BTS and they were just being playful little rascals. Of course there were some butt slapping actions. I started listening to Stray Kids probably a month or two after they released GOD'S MENU and Levanter was one of those songs that I just fell in love with. It was in my playlist immediately! I listen to Maze of Memories when I wanna feel hyped up. It just gives me POWERRRRRRRRRRRRR. Great video as always and have a GREAT GREAT day!
ahh Levanter~ the era when i.. am became a stay🙋 i've became a stay right after WJ's left. ya, Levanter is their first mv together as 8. and i didn't feel sad or anything, cuz idk that guy much. so that's why i'm enjoying stan this 8 boys now.
The way you were awestruck while listening to Levanter... sadly it's one of their lesser known or hyped up title tracks but the emotions and vulnerability it bring are just so impactful The English version was beautifully translated too, it's up there next to Zombie by DAY6 in terms of listenability(?) in English Also just the timing of the release of the song right at the end of 2019 when they had just received such a blow as a team... the lyrics really do hit differently if you think about the context they released it and the whole concept of the album with it -- letting go of a part of yourself or some ideal in your head that was holding you back in order to set yourself free and strive for a better future
Seungmin auditioned and got 2nd place, he did sing and rap. There's compilations of how 8 skz members are all rounders (singers, rappers, dancers and visuals) and they keep surprising stay with the new things they do. Also Maze of memories is a skz song which was later modified for 3racha to perform later on ( the one you watched)
Hi Mel ☺️ Ooh there's also a vampire version of Thunderous, a dance practice and a stage. I think it was the second to last promotion stage The vampire Thunderous stage ua-cam.com/video/CLZn4bVVDFk/v-deo.html The dance practice ua-cam.com/video/ZmqaV5BzsqA/v-deo.html Wow she's hot hot 😭😭 ngl ice never been able to just listen to it because I get embarrassed 💀 LEVANTAR MY QUEEN She's a title track that needs more love There's a Korean, Japanese, and English version It's beautiful in all three languages 😭
stray kids are the “face of studio choom” and were the first ones to get an award from them cz their videos got the highest views and hyunjin’s aotm has the highest views from the other male artists aotm videos i think or like they just said they liked him best i don’t think you’ve reacted to the bts of his aotm if you haven’t seen it pls do it shows how hard he worked and how sweet he was with the back up dancers and the video where they received the award i love it also yes i love hannah’s videos sm she’s so amazing
Lmao considering SKZ released their SKZ record Up All Night in June when it would've been perfect for Halloween I think they just don't care and dress up whenever they want to haha
One of the best videos I've ever watched haha. I just had too much fun. I haven't seen wow in a long time ahh it's so good.Skz has so much content other than mv that even though I go back to old videos from time to time, sometimes I can't think of some content, that's why it's so nice to watch reaction videos. You are the one of the channels I have had the most fun with lately is about skz. You're not just watching the basics and you're getting completely into it. This is really nice. For example, there were people who heard wow was famous and watched that , but they couldn't understand what it was completely. One of the reasons Stay loves it so much is because of the kids' reaction. It's really satisfying that you do your research well in advance and know what to watch.Thank you so much, hope to see more videos like this. love you :)
i did have fun!!!! i full on cackled multiple times throughout the video lmao especially when during changbin’s poppin part 👀😂 long videos are fully your brand now haha it’s great and i always watch the whole thing so 🤷♀️
Mel Levanter is one of my fave songs of theirs - they do a live version where Felix does a voice intro - and in the performance they dance blind folded It’s one of the best performances I’ve ever seen - i think it’s may Gaon - highly recommended
22:21 SAME MEL, SAME! HAHAHAHA 🥲 and then he smiles like "yeah, I know what I just did" I definetly have a problem with this dude! thank you for the video I always see you while I'm in the office
i can’t help but keep coming back to comment like i feel like saying something but then you already say it and i want to suggest sumn and you end up doing it anyways i just love it actually love your channel sm it’s sooooo entertaining i’m literally losing my mind and laughing my head off with you throughout all your videos my fave baby stay fr we love mel 💘💘
Thank you, Melanie for this fun reaction, I was laughing so much with you I was crying 😂 I love your laught so much it's crazy 😂 Levanter (and Hellevator) is a song that made me fall in love into Stray Kids music even before I knew anything about the fandom and all. I just tried to check out what kpop is about and I was listening to many songs and many groups but I didn't quite like that kind of music, untill YT reccomended me Levanter and it was first kpop song I genueinly enjoyed and had on my playlist on repeat along with Hellevator. Then YT reccomended me performance stage of Levanter and I noticed handsome beautiful charismatic demon called Hyunjin in it and I needed to know more about him, so I started to watch more and dive deeper and I learned about fandom, biases, companies, streaming, voting and all these stuffs I had no idea before and here I am, 1 year and 9 months later, knowing every kpop group, buying merches and fighting with antis 😂 So Stray Kids was the first group that got me interested in kpop and Hyunjin was the reason I dove deeper and became a STAY 😊 Now I listen to many groups but I am only STAY because I never found any other group as amazing, original, unique, fun, genuine, honest, talented, charismatic, funny and perfect in every aspect as them 🥰
I am at 28:00 (reminder for myself). Maniac Zombie version is sooo hilarious! I am so happy you reacted to it! Your reaction is literally me :) I was thinking the whole time, that someone should feed our poor zombie-Changbin! Now my lunch break is over, I will finish watching in the evening. Looking forward to see what you think about 'wow' XD
when i first discovered stray kids and searched for videos to get to know them, 3RACHA reacting to their old music was one of the first things i saw and i was immediately sold on them as a group. obviously some of their old songs are on the cringe side (not in a bad way of course) because they were literally kids making music for the first time. but you can still tell that they had a lot of potential. to be able to actually hear their music making skills develop over the years is a really special thing and it massively impressed me. i'm the type of person who will pick up a craft and drop it because im not getting good at it fast enough and i lack discipline. but these guys really worked their asses off and got good at what they were doing and now they're Big big. sorry for the rambling haha i just really love watching those old 3RACHA videos because it makes you realize how far they've come.
Yeah their dedication to be better and better and better is just so admirable!! They are just INCREDIBLY hard workers and all that hard work has paid off 10 folds!
I am in the middle of this video and i just wanna say you have such a nice laugh..i mean its pleasant to hear and it makes me laugh too. I am just feeling so good watching this. And yeah discovering 3racha WOW for the first time is the best thing ever hahah Oh and i also saw some animated MV's which Stay made for this song i think you would enjoy them too it makes the song even funnier
The moment you said that you watch the video rather than the reaction in reaction videos and I realised that I was watching chan instead of your face 😂😂😂😂😂. I do the exact same thing .
Обожаю твои реакции! Такой классный выпуск получился. Ты столько много смогла посмотреть с совершенно разных эр))) спасибо! Посмотри на хвостики у skzoo. Они заставляют меня смеяться)))
- Since this is SKZ, you'll hear them mention wind once or twice in future lyrics, tying the storyline together with Levanter. - I've mentioned that Changbin sings in way more songs than most people think. Levanter is a good example. Everyone knows his sing-rap part in the middle. Somehow most people don't realize he has several beautiful, sweet-voiced lines in the beginning. Literally half of his lines in the song just stealth right past people because they don't know or don't remember that he can sing like that. - Anytime you see Lee Know in a bucket hat during a dance practice, it's because he's deliberately blocking his vision and dancing mostly blind so he doesn't monitor himself or the others. You'll see this fairly frequently, especially in earlier songs. (Everyone else is learning the choreo faster now, so he's no longer stuck having mastered the dance and waiting eons for the others to catch up.) - At this point, I can't remember what you have or haven't seen, so I don't know if you've seen Side Effects yet. Levanter is full of choreo references to previous songs, and Side Effects is one of the most significant. Parts of it are either direct starting points for moves in Levanter (the opening positions are literally where Side Effects ended) or have been copied into Levanter and then changed to be a contradiction to the fear and confusion and anxiety in Side Effects (most overtly being the neck-snapping sequence with Hyunjin and Felix now being an enactment of gentleness and support). SKZ often makes small choreo references, almost like easter eggs, but in the case of Levanter, it's not just tidbits, but basically an entire collection of past works to culminate in this and create the end of that era. It's just clever and well-planned, and I _love_ it. - I've mentioned that Scars is the end of the next era in the same way that Levanter was the end of this one. It's no coincidence that the choreo in Scars not only incorporates a similar emotional feel, as well as choreo references from previous songs, but also that it specifically references distinct imagery from Levanter, especially the penultimate "look to the sky" move. - Also significant: I've mentioned that SKZ have confirmed that (no matter what random theories say) I.N is the only one who knows what's happening, though he's not controlling it. Notice that at the end of the Levanter choreo, everyone is scattered, facing different directions, and looking down, while I.N is dead center and the only person looking directly forward and basically breaking the fourth wall with his gaze.
Are there many live stages for Levanter? I should watch, I want to appreciate Changbin's vocals more! Oh what?????? really?? why doesn't he want to monitor himself or others?? Yes I have seen side effects, but I will need to watch it back to see the references in choreo!! That's super creative actually and really unique!! Ohhh interesting. I need to watch this back again as well to focus on I.N at the end!!
@@melaniereacts There are several Levanter lives, yes. Most are cb stages, with a few award-show performances and whatnot sprinkled in. I just did a quick look, and I know there are others out there that are buried deeper, but this is a good basic set: ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=levanter+live . He usually does want to monitor, but when they're doing the recorded dance practices to release to the public, he doesn't want to get distracted and go into monitor mode. Since those specific dance practices are basically used as low-key performances, not an interactive, stop-and-go practice, he wants to be more in performance mode. And if he can see them, he's proven himself basically incapable of _not_ monitoring. He's literally done it in live performances -- one of the most recent, when Han flubbed choreo during a Thunderous cb stage -- even went viral (but because it was cute, not for anything disruptive, at least). The Side Effects Performance Video is phenomenal; so if you haven't watched it: ua-cam.com/video/qJXCbv9xscI/v-deo.html . There's _definitely_ choreo not visible in the MV. The Studio Choom is also good and shows the same choreo, though it's actually much more dramatically and artistically presented in the performance vid. And the vampire stages are beyond words.
@@RM_formerlyjustRMbutYTsucks Nice! I really want to see Levanter live. lol.. Lee Know is a proper dance "teacher".... Unable to switch off! it's fascinating actually. He would have absolutely DOMINATED as a choreographer if he was to choose that as his profession! He has all the perfect qualities. I know he is the dance leader and participates in choreographing - but more referring to his sole role as a choreographer. I love seeing that side of him as I am also a choreographer so it's fascinating to see. Will 10000% check out Side effects performance video and the vampire stages
@@melaniereacts That's a solid insight into him. You might might have already heard this, but his crewmates from his former dance crew are now the choreographers, dance teachers, etc for these idol groups; these are the hyungs who helped him train and develop. One of them choreographed the Tiger Inside stage Lee Know was in in January, for example. And before entering JYP, Lee Know got accepted into college (without having to do the exams) on the basis of his original choreo -- and he was, at _max,_ 18 at the time. He's also openly said he can't half-a$$ teaching/leading; if he's in that mode, it has his entire focus. That said, when he decides to f*ck with people, it's hilarious because no one can envision him screwing up a dance. He and Hyunjin pulled a prank that's still funny years later, if you're interested in a couple minutes of dance-centered chaos: ua-cam.com/video/8-kiBmI2FnQ/v-deo.html
@@melaniereacts That's a solid insight into him. You might already know this, but his crewmates from his former dance crew are now the choreographers, dance teachers, etc for various idol groups. One of them choregraphed the Tiger Inside collab stage Lee Know was in in January, for example. These are the hyungs who helped him grow and develop. At age 18, max, he got into college (without doing the exams) based on the submission of his original choreo pieces, and considering college-entry practices in Korea, that's a glowing recommendation on its own. He's _so_ patient as a teacher. He doesn't do that many solo lives, but one that stands out is when STAYs kept asking him to teach them "Dawn." He had them vote which section and then spent over half an hour patiently, kindly, repeatedly teaching hundreds of thousands of non-dancer strangers the choreo for a one-minute section of dance: ua-cam.com/video/QtUuzc5SOvc/v-deo.html . He did a more abbreviated version with "God's Menu" during a later live: ua-cam.com/video/oTloWqnKqIU/v-deo.html and was just as sweet about it. But the first one in particular is just teacher (and choreographer, since "Dawn" is his choreo) personified. It's a side of him far too many people outside the fandom know nothing about. Anyway, in light of your background and interests, I just thought you might appreciate these, even if it's off camera. (The "koom pow bapbapbap BOOM" lingo apparently being universal dance language makes me laugh every time.)
I love every reaction you had for stray kids. One of my favorite reactor to stray kids now. Could you also react to Hyunjin intro and behind for his AOTM. Thank you, thank you for your love to Stray Kids.
I am so happy that you reacted to wow...I dont know about other stays but its still my anthem hahaha The boys also used to like clowning Lix with "its all good now" If i remember corectly 3racha first did Maze of Memories and the also have Broken Compass which then was later on made for the group as Mixtape 4 or 3 dont remember but yeah Mel you had me laughing so much at skzoo reaction
Even though Halloween does not come yet, the song title is Maniac, so they can be Zombies.....right? Because they are already walking like Frankenstein anyway. Lots of them are into Zombie, so they kicked out Frankenstein and brought Zombie in (Poor Frankenstein, haha) I think you might have missed.. but at the end of Zombie Maniac Dance, while SKZ are walking out one by one, Han was shouting "I'm alive! I'm a human being!" in Korean(난 살았다, 난 사람이다, Nan Sal-Ass-Da, Nan Sa-Ram-I-Da!) and then you can hear someone's scream (Perhaps Han's. Maybe Han got bitten by other Zombie SKZ after revealing his true identity and became one of them) In addition, Changbin was still lingering and stay, so other(Seungmin's voice? Not sure) said "Changbin, you have to go to gym" in Korean and Changbin walked out in fast Zombie steps. Cute and funny Kids, always 😄🧡💛 All look great in these Zombie makeups and outfits
Every freaking time while i listen to levanter idk why it put my heart at ease....i just can't put the emotions in to words!i live for Lee know's falsetto! levanter is one of the reason why i am stay now..❤️
Wow was released in 2017 and Chan was less than 20 years old in Aussie age (Changbin and Han were 17 and 16, respectively) Back then Chan was even younger than l.N now and proudly playing the older richer guy role 😁 Also, l remember two of Stay's favorite lines are "jOgiYo nOonA hOkShi nAmJaChiNgU iSsEyOo?" and "HutWutEumMan NaWaaaaaa~" Stays are often teasing Han that Han cannot make a love song(Changbin and Han said Han writes love Songs well) and also teasing that the main character of Han's song "Close" is a sophisticated version of Wow's Han. Stays say that the unit song title by Danceracha was Wow because 3racha wanted Stay to find Danceracha's Wow instead of 3racha's Wow when Stay are searching SKZ's WOW. Cute Stays like Cute Stray Kids, I should say Always enjoying watching your reactions! Such a happy vibes in yours Be healthy and stay happy!
Some where out there is a video of Seungmin taking over for Han in God's Menu during a live performance. I can't remember which one though. Also that Maze of Memories performance is the one where they continue into Runner's High and perform with Seoyeon (G-idle) and Hongjoong. Yeah that "special stage" is way longer than the clip you watched.
I'm fairly sure the '18' in wow is a Korean 18, seeing as it was written way before debut. I mean, still mature enough to sing about someone looking hot I guess. 🤣
10:08 14:47 15:3815:44 🤣 49:20 56:07 I lost count how many times Melanie said "omg, Hyunjin!!!" in one video, but yeah, I can't relate girl :) the man is absolutely gorgeous in every aspect, as dancer, as rapper, visually 😭 Hyunjin single handedly made me skz fan, I normally don't stan kpop, but yeah, Hyunjin is most beautiful exception I guess 11:45 Dance Channel Studio Choom's producers chose Hyunjin as best kpop male dancer PS Levanter is still on my top5 all time favorite SKZ songs, it's criminally underrated and deserves more recognition, it's so beautiful
Btw, this will be a little personal lol but Levanter is my favorite, this song, the choreo and the mv are beautiful. This one made me a Stay, like for real. I was in a really dark place at the beginning of the pandemic and this song was perfect for me at the time, this was my light so it means a lot to me. Sorry for the TMI lol
@@susyfrnco I feel you! I went through a dark period throughout the pandemic as well!! Glad they were a type of support for you. They help people in ways they don’t even realise ❤️
I am a little late watching this reaction Mel. 😆 Even though I know so much about Skz, there is always something new. I cannot belive that I've never listened to the English version of Lavanter until now. You should have seen the big smile on my face! Thank you. Trust you and Skz to make me feel better today 🌞🎈 Not sure if you have reacted to it already, (sorry if you have). If you have not, can we listen to 3Racha "We Go" and 3Racha "Double Knot" one day, please? You might add the Skz "Double Knot " at the same time as well. 😆 Also Skz the "Tortoise and the Hare"is rather awsome as well. You know I love your reactions🎈
I'll try to explain what Levater is to us. Imagine a full month of blackout after WJ departure. We didn't hear from them, no lives, no SNS, didn't even know if they would... disband? Then Astronaut was out. Such a strange feeling, with that weird edited video. It was a very controversial period, there was a lot of resentment towards them too, as it was their fault. Levanter was a warm, reassuring and still painful message for us, that "it's all good now" and them smiling. Levanter will always be special, still we don't recall it so easily, for its meanings and the memories associated with it (I've tried my best to explain but I'm not mother tongue, sorry 😔)
OMG I'm 8days late for this. Sorry, Mel. I'm so pre-occupied these days. I even shutdown my socials temporarily because of so much works to do. 😢 But I'm all here to watch your videos and be recharged from all the stress. 😊💗 24:27 Binnie represents every Stays everywhere all around the world. 😁 SKZOO version of Thunderous is actually a fun struggle for them. LeeKnow (LeeBit) has a lot of poking moments if you noticed. 😊💗 Thanks for another fun reaction, Mel. 😊💗
Hi beautiful. Starting with cute minsung emotions is so nice. The "Wow" for Hyunjin says it all... Mind-blowing look 🔥 I love this behind the scenes MV so much cause of the energy the members are sharing with each other. 06:40 butt-hunter challenge 🤣🤣🤣🤣 SKZ in a nutshell, definitely. 07:40 the chemistry between the boys is something else.. it's so nice to see, that they are joking around. sometimes I think Han talks or sings 24/7. Emi always reminds me of him... it seems like the two are almost the same person. funny actually... I hsb my own personal "Han" twin. I definitely wanna try Hyunjin's makeup. I have to do it soon... Maybe next week.. fingers crossed. It's soooooooooo good. 😳😳🔥🔥 14:00 Lee Know's poem was definitely the best. 🤣🤣 We definitely NEED more slow motions... This is awesome, insanely mind-blowing 🔥 18:00 the Photobombes are so cute. I wish we could get this pic's too... but I think it will never happen. Chan's facial profile is simply stanning. so handsome. love it 21:20 I saw the zombie dance practice only 3 ago and now I see your reaction.... Definitely the same like me.... I think they use blue contacts on Felix a looooooot lately.. but they fit him very nicely. BUT we all love his natural eye colour too... SKZ zombies looking sexy as hell... I love this look. Little bit cheaper..but so am I sometimes. 22:26 I definitely know, that u will stop here...and rewinds it, and rewinds it, and rewinds it. I was waiting for it and I'm SOOO HERE FOR IT 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Changbin body role compilation again 😜😜 this performance MV is soooo funny. They are all playing there role soooo good and sooo hilarious 😂 28:50 in this wow there are you famous lyrics :저기요 누나 혹시 남자친구 있어요? Han is actually always embarrassed about it and that's why he's teased about it so often. the song is so funny. maybe it was created in a vlive... like the 바다 코끼리 song. 3rachas vlive are always an absolute mess... J love it. I was laughing so hard 🤣 46:30 levanter is such a nice song. I love Lee Know's falcetto in this so much. The colour coding and the visuals are insane. The lyrics are emotional as hell. And Chan looking mind-blowing as always ❤️ Btw. I don't know why, but I don't like every english version's.. I think they don't really fit the songs. it always feels wrong to me. 55:00 you always bring me great joy with the reactions to dance practices. I like to watch them myself and am grateful to be able to watch you do it. You can't see emotions in dances often but SKZ show's it every time. you don't even have to see their faces..they suffer with their whole bodies.. that's soooooo impressive. 01:00:00 finallyyyyyy maze of memories.. this is such a strong song. This song as a live performance is undefeated. That was the first time I learned about SKZ that all of them are not only fabulous singer, they are all fabulous rapper too. 01:08:00 the SKZOO performance was such a funny thing to watch. Glad that u did this too . A little bit messy 🤣🤣 but I missed Chan's original outfit 😜 I laughed more at your reaction than the original video. I love it when Chan is reacting to themselves on vlives...that's so cute to watch. As always lovely Mel. I enjoyed your reaction so much. You are THE best reactor on planet earth. Love you 💓🥰😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
I WANNA TRY HYUNJINS MAKEUP SOOOO MUCH!!!!!!! honestly.. SKZ zombie was stupidly attractive... like what??? HAHA Look. Changbin is just.... I actually have no words for him anymore!! hahahahahaha that line 저기요 혹시 남자 진구 있어요 I will do my best to use in every situation possible in the future hahahahahaha Maze of memories surprised me!! It's sooooo good and I never imagined a full rap song! SO COOL!!!!! HAHA glad I could entertain you hahaha a love you chickie xx
The fact that 3RACHA Wow is so infamous in the fandom that people hardly batted an eye at Hoodie Season coming out of nowhere in SKZ's discography because comparatively it was so much tamer lmao
Oh......... wait... have I listened to hoodie season?? I think I may have
the happiness on lee know's face during their daily butt slapping session lol
Hahahahaha in his element
HAHAHA mel the first time i watched the zombie dance practice, i just KNEW the changbin hip moment would be an issue for you LMAO
IT IS SUCH A PROBLEM 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"iron man in the streets but i'm better than tony"
PLEASE we all know they wanted the lyric to be: "iron man in the streets, tony in the sheets"
watching you laugh hysterically over the SKZOO performance is an absolute DELIGHT! the seriousness on their faces just gets me every dang time- hyunjin in particular just exudes coolness, but is completely betrayed by how adorable he looks as jiniret lol
'PLEASE we all know they wanted the lyric to be: "iron man in the streets, tony in the sheets" ' I thought I was the only one who believed that lol
HAHAHAHAHAHA omg that first line has me cackling
Changbin is an actor! He commits to every performance. The zombie practice killed me!!! 🤣 I was on break at work and he made me laugh so loud at the end!.....everyone stopped and looked at me. 😳😅
hahahaha seriously Changbin COMMITED HARD!!! I love it so much
I think Studio Choom staff (or Mnet staff, not sure which) made a separate video talking about which Studio Choom videos were their favorites and picked Hyunjin as best idol dancer :)
Studio choom staff picked Hyunjin, they love him!
Ahhh I see!! Thank youuuu xx
LOVE how you check out the associated content with each song! (Like Levanter English version, Maze of Memories KCON opening, Wow 3RACHA reaction, etc.)
It really adds to the experience and lets you in on what it was like going through those releases over time and how they developed specific meanings within the fandom
Super fun to revisit all the different types of content with you!!
Agreed so much! It's nice to see someone discover SKZ in general, but most people just blow through the videos that say "MV" in the title and then call it a day, and it's a total letdown to people aware of just how overwhelmingly much complementary content SKZ has. She's diving into SKZ full force, and it's so much more satisfying and enjoyable to get to re-experience that journey with her.
Right!✨👆
Aw thanks JoJo!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
You guys are the best xxx
Mel I will say this was an impeccable lineup today, 3Racha’s “dark past” WOW will forever be amazing
Studio Choom’s Pd had an interview where he was asked to choose the best idol dancer and he chose Hyunjin for the male so that’s why Hyunjin was thanking them
I’ve been waiting for you to react to Levanter for the longest time I knew you would love it !!! When Stay’s needed it the most queen Levanter was released, it holds a very special place in all Stays’ hearts, there’s also a Lovestay version of the Levanter dance practice is REALLY cute, the whole song and choreography of Levanter is just so BEAUTIFUL
Maze Of Memories just further proved stray kids is made up of 8 rappers, vocalists, dancers, etc. And when I tell you Seungmin’s verse had Stay Twitter on a chokehold you can already imagine how that went lol
Thunderous skzoo ver is so funny, they said it was relatively easy to dance in the suits but the head is kinda heavy lol
HAHA Omg I can imagine the chaos after Seungmins rapping lol!! But I was also taken out by I.N! His rapping voice and the style in this song is very attractive!!!
To this day Levanter is still one of my favorite title tracks. I love that song so much and the dance practice is such an underrated one. Literally everyone shines in it.
Absolutely!! couldn't agree more!!
I love how Felix was so in character like he did his moves so zombie like...Changbin is just that hungry zombie. For the Thunderous skzoo, I was so surprised and proud that they all managed to dance in those costumes...and you got it right we do say ski-zoo... Lee Knows face drawing is called Jereumi
I feel like I got used to these more than an hour long videos, like any shorter and it'd feel like incomplete. Anyway!! Thanks for this!!
Honestly me too!!! Dancing in those costumes would have been so hard 🤣
changbin turned into "chomp-bin". i just..need him to stop testing my loyalty though rofl
HAHA he is a proooooooblem!!!!
I think it was the producers of studio choom who did an interview where one of the questions they were asked was who they considered the best dancers, and they chose hyunjin as the best male dancer and chaeryeong
from itzy as the best female dancer 😉
also seungmin is actually a really good rapper I highly recommend looking up a compilation of him rapping (he even rapped faster than changbin and han on weekly idol w/ BRACES). there’s also a video of him rapping hans part in gods menu during a live performance :))
No please, he's not auditioned as a rapper that just a joke, he's auditioned with singing and dancing. But he can rap as well.
that was just a joke chan made in an interview, he didnt audition to be a rapper lol
@@aly3119 It’s not tho, if you look there’s a video of him at the jyp audition and he’s singing and rapping
@@jodie5017 can you send the link maybe? Cause I have only ever seen the one where he just sings, I can't find a different one
felix totally act like zombie while the others just having fun😆
anyways FELIX SO COOL😳
Felix suits the zombie vibe so much lol
The first time I saw the music video for Cheese i knew i would have to check I.N always for expressions. He lets everyone know how he feels and i love that about him!
Changbin will have me dead by the end of this comeback, i swear. Send flowers to him so he knows. 🤣 He's so satisfied with himself, ha ha.
Wow just reminds me of the fact that they're called 3racha just because they wanted to call themselves hot. . . Which is great but i always wonder what we get stuck with from our teenage years... 🤣
My friend got me fridge magnets w/ pics from Levanter era for my birthday this year and they're all so beautiful.
PS (Sorry my comments are always ridiculously long...) Maze of Memories throws me for a loop every time i hear it. I need more rapping from the vocal line.
hahahaha changbin... I swear.... surely he knows what he is doing this comeack. like EVERYONE is frothing over him hahahahaha
Yessss Maze of Memories is why I became a stay honestly
8 all rounders 😫
Actually fun fact Seungmin auditioned for JYPe with both rapping and singing....and he got in so 😭
He said jokingly when he gets his braces off he'll become the main rapper, but I need it to actually happen 😭
I'm obsessed with this kcon performance
The full version has some from gidle and Hongjoong
Mel its just Skiz-zoo 😭
Hahahaha we need more Seungmin rapper 🤣
My ass definitely watched until the end😌💀Totally worth it! It's so therapeutic & wholesome to have u & other stays react to skz content & u're such a mood✨ Makes me feel less like a weirdo & more understood for caring & being so passionate about them & certain groups
awww thank you!!!! xxxx
levanter is genuinely one of my (if not THE) favorite skz title tracks, mostly because of the lyrics (considering how it came out right after that individual left the group.... yeah it lines up even though i know the song was made beforehand). sadly though, it never got the attention it deserves... even though it earned a music show win.... ppl always complain abt how skz's music is "just noise" but when they do a slower more soulful title, they ignore it 😐 it's frustrating. but anyways, i'm really happy that you enjoyed it so much. thank you for your videos always
Yeah that's so weird hey! This song is a masterpiece I love it so much!
Maze of memories 3racha KCon is so iconic. Also the pronunciation is ski like skid and zoo lol. it took me a while to get it
Haha thank youuuu
The dancing start of levanter is also the dancing end of side effects
Ohhhhhh interesting!!
your reactions are always amazing
Thank you xx
I replayed Changbin growling while doing the poppin' move many times... my day is well spent.
look.... I may or may not have gone back to watch it an unhealthy amount of times
Gotta do Danceracha wow next! Specifically the live one.😏
She already did👍
Justo vi esa parte "WoW" (danceracha) en el concierto "distric9" 🔥🔥🔥
Yes, I have done this 🥰🥰🥰
@@melaniereacts Oh I did not know this.😞
Yessss so happy about the Maze of Memories reaction :) Can I recommend you watch SKZ ALL-NIGHT (3 eps) because it's honestly so entertaining
It’s on the list! Will get to it soon 🥰
P.S. You technically have heard Levanter, you just didn't know it at the time! Lee Mujin sang a big of it at the beginning of Lee Mujin Service, it sounded so different!
Ohhhhhh that's right! I will need to go back and listen to his version
melaniee thank you so much for all your reactions these days i really enjoy them!
Ohhhh that sounds awesome! thanks for the recommendation!
omg yes please I love the behind the scenes of his aotm I hope she does react to it!!
@@melaniereacts Yes, I will love to watch it with you, Melanie, it's so wholesome and shows how much he worked for it. After his AOTM got released he even told us on bubble he cried from happiness because he was working so hard and he was scared if we like it because it was completely new style of dance and new side of him 😢
wow was our unofficial fandom representative song for years
ahh levanter is so underrated, one of my favourite title tracks from skz (it's also the first song released after wj left)
THE ENGLISH VERSION AS BEAUTIFUL, one of the more well made english ver. sometimes i sing the eng version instead, it's just so pretty
oh to clarify the 'seungmin auditioned with rap' comments, he didnt exactly audition with rap, it's more a joke that skz do to tease him by pushing the kim seungmin main rapper agenda (which i fully approve of). what happened is his audition process was a competition kind of thing and he was part of JYP 13th Open Audition and came 2nd. you had to perform a few stages and in two(?) of the performances he did with other contestants he had to rap and sing so ppl took that as, he auditioned with rap
IM STILL UPSET THEY HAVENT GIVEN US THE BEHIND OF SKZOO CUZ YOU JUST KNOW THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DO THAT IN A FEW TAKES
Hahaha I seriously need to see more rapper Seungmin though!!!! For real!!!
Levanter is definitely one of my favorites. It just feels so strangely encouraging to me.
Thanks for the video! Your reactions made me laugh along with you!
Yeah it's awesome hey!!
I love the studio choom contest,its always funny and the way they edit the videos is very original . someone already mentioned it, but I hope that at some point you can see the behind the scenes of hyunjin's atom (choreo-record).
It really made me notice the great effort and how hard the dancers work, I have always enjoyed the performances and musical shows, but I never paid attention to what is behind everything that one sees already on stage, I really loved seeing that video .
I will check that out 100% ♥️♥️♥️
Soooo glad you reacted to Levanter dance practice, I've been watching it over and over lately. One of the few times Felix gets a center solo feature....and it's so beautiful, both the song and the pictures they make with their bodies.....And it was great to watch the funny things again, like the Wow reaction and zombie practice.
Have you watched the Awkward Silence dance practice yet? The song is goofy, maybe not their top tier, but funny with great sound effects, and the dance is so hilarious. I'd also love to know what Korean sayings or catch phrases I'm missing. It took me awhile to realize that kdramas use the sound of cawing crows to point up when there is an awkward silence moment, so it is a familiar shorthand in Korea, and I'm sure there are tons of those types of things that I missed......
The Levanter dance seems very different to a lot of their usual choreo. I think that's what makes it so special!! It's strong and sharp yet soft and full of emotion at the same time! Super interesting!!!
These themed dance practices have become some of my faves! They dont have to take it too seriously and can just have fun. Sorry but I would willingly hand over myself to zombie Changbin! I've been thirsting over that man for nearly 2 years and now all of a sudden he wants to be in his "spicy era" and everyone wants a piece. I hope yall can fight! lol. No but seriously, we've always talked about his growl but WHEW, this is something else lol
I was so excited to see that you were reacting to Thunderous SKZOO that I didn't even see "WOW" in the title. OMG that song, I cant even defend it but I love how memey it became, they're such dorks lol. But I still cant get over how serious they were doing that SKZOO choreo lol. Those suits look hot af too so I dont blame them for not redoing the ending lol
KING Maze of Memories!! Everybody flexes in this and I go OFF to this song in the car. You cant tell me I'm not Felix as soon as "Ima look back" starts LMAO. And QUEEN Levanter is another one of my fave songs and MVs, they look and sound AMAZING and I love the whole aesthetic! This was right after that other guy left so this really felt like they got closer, strengthened up, and left that chapter behind them. I love how much they hold onto each other in the choreo too. Btw, the photocards from that MV are expensive af, I own 3 of them and if I sold them it would cover half of my rent next month lol
Hahahaha Omg I laughed so much at this comment 🤣🤣🤣
I have a question in regards to Changbin. You said he is in his spicy era! I have been wondering if he has always been this spicy or if this era is like extra and everyone is just losing their shit????
@@melaniereacts He’s always played up the whole “I’m the real visual of the group” but it’s mostly been cutesy. I feel he was waiting for the perfect moment to unleash his spicy side and I guess all it took was a little body roll/hip thrust 😂 I’m here for it either way lol
@@l3uttaflyx3 hahahaha ahhhhh ok so this is kind of a new side to him?? I looooove it
- Ok, I'm one minute in and already excited. Levanter is a work of art, and it's criminally underviewed and unknown to new people (and ignored by a lot of more longtime people for emotional reasons). Both SKZ's and 3RACHA's versions of Maze of Memories are legends. And obviously 3RACHA's WOW is truly a timeless classic...
- We got SKZOO ("skiz-oo") vids for both God's Menu and Thunderous, so there's a decent chance we'll get one for Maniac too. If so, it will be epic. Watching them be absolutely serious through the absurdity -- even when they're smacking the sh1t out of each other and losing body parts -- is at _least_ half the fun of SKZOO performances.
- Now I'm gonna watch and see if you've watched enough SKZ vids yet to catch all the visual and choreo references in Levanter. Fwiw, a lot of us refer to it as the queen or Queen Levanter, as that's just how it feels among the videography. Especially since it was the first ot8 title track and title MV (Astronaut was the first ot8 MV released, but it wasn't a title, and it was technically made with W and then had him edited out).
Yesss Levanter is AMAZING! It's surprising that it's so underrated!
3racha's WOW is.......... so funny hahahahaha
I really hope we get MANIAC SKZOO version! That will be epic!
I didn’t know that
Levanter is a queen for me. All is so beautiful: MV, lyrics, music, dance, guys themselves. And it’s so amazing that all 3 versions ( Korean, English and Japanese) sound so good.
I love your reactions because it feels like i'm watching skz content with a friend! :D Thank you so much!!
28:38 I read in Wow's comments that 3racha was tryna cover up their wow by releasing the danceracha ver. and it sounded like a 3racha thing to do 😂😂🤣
Hahahahaha that’s hilarious
10:30 "why? Why are you all- why?? Why, everyone?!"
Same Mel same lmao
HAHAHAHAHA
Omg, I'm so happy I found your SKZ reactions! I don't have anyone to geek out with about them, and it's like I found a friend who loves them as much as I do!
Ahhh Toni! YES! Geek out with me as much as you want 😍😍😍
I LOVE watching their Studio Choom BTS. We get to see the boys having fun and enjoying themselves. I was re-watching their GOD'S MENU and THUNDEROUS Studio Choom BTS and they were just being playful little rascals. Of course there were some butt slapping actions.
I started listening to Stray Kids probably a month or two after they released GOD'S MENU and Levanter was one of those songs that I just fell in love with. It was in my playlist immediately!
I listen to Maze of Memories when I wanna feel hyped up. It just gives me POWERRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Great video as always and have a GREAT GREAT day!
hahahah "slapping butt action" - expected!!
ahh Levanter~ the era when i.. am became a stay🙋
i've became a stay right after WJ's left. ya, Levanter is their first mv together as 8. and i didn't feel sad or anything, cuz idk that guy much. so that's why i'm enjoying stan this 8 boys now.
What a great compilation!! 👍🔥🙌💗😀
Your reaction are amazing and I love all your cups
Thank you so much xx
The way you were awestruck while listening to Levanter... sadly it's one of their lesser known or hyped up title tracks but the emotions and vulnerability it bring are just so impactful
The English version was beautifully translated too, it's up there next to Zombie by DAY6 in terms of listenability(?) in English
Also just the timing of the release of the song right at the end of 2019 when they had just received such a blow as a team... the lyrics really do hit differently if you think about the context they released it and the whole concept of the album with it -- letting go of a part of yourself or some ideal in your head that was holding you back in order to set yourself free and strive for a better future
I need to go back and read the lyrics properly after hearing when it was released! Must have been such a hard time!
The SKZoo performance is just so funny. I’ve watched it often and laughed each time
haha it really is!!!
You reaction is so raw and relatable lol I can't stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha 🤣❤️
I love how Hynjin’s head has a little mole under its eye just like him😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Seungmin auditioned and got 2nd place, he did sing and rap. There's compilations of how 8 skz members are all rounders (singers, rappers, dancers and visuals) and they keep surprising stay with the new things they do. Also Maze of memories is a skz song which was later modified for 3racha to perform later on ( the one you watched)
They really are such allrounders! Like one of the most all rounder groups out there!
Hi Mel ☺️
Ooh there's also a vampire version of Thunderous, a dance practice and a stage. I think it was the second to last promotion stage

There's a Korean, Japanese, and English version
It's beautiful in all three languages 😭

@@melaniereacts Yes, it’s amazing!
stray kids are the “face of studio choom” and were the first ones to get an award from them cz their videos got the highest views and hyunjin’s aotm has the highest views from the other male artists aotm videos i think or like they just said they liked him best i don’t think you’ve reacted to the bts of his aotm if you haven’t seen it pls do it shows how hard he worked and how sweet he was with the back up dancers and the video where they received the award i love it also yes i love hannah’s videos sm she’s so amazing
I’ll def react to his behind the scenes 😍
Lmao considering SKZ released their SKZ record Up All Night in June when it would've been perfect for Halloween I think they just don't care and dress up whenever they want to haha
LOL seriously.. it makes me laugh so much
One of the best videos I've ever watched haha. I just had too much fun. I haven't seen wow in a long time ahh it's so good.Skz has so much content other than mv that even though I go back to old videos from time to time, sometimes I can't think of some content, that's why it's so nice to watch reaction videos. You are the one of the channels I have had the most fun with lately is about skz. You're not just watching the basics and you're getting completely into it. This is really nice. For example, there were people who heard wow was famous and watched that , but they couldn't understand what it was completely. One of the reasons Stay loves it so much is because of the kids' reaction. It's really satisfying that you do your research well in advance and know what to watch.Thank you so much, hope to see more videos like this. love you :)
Haha awwww this comment is soooooo lovely! Thank you so much, I love knowing that you’re enjoying the videos 🥰
i did have fun!!!! i full on cackled multiple times throughout the video lmao especially when during changbin’s poppin part 👀😂 long videos are fully your brand now haha it’s great and i always watch the whole thing so 🤷♀️
HAHA omg they really are my brand 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ hahahaha I love it though! And Changbins poppin part lives in my mind daily 🙃
Mel Levanter is one of my fave songs of theirs - they do a live version where Felix does a voice intro - and in the performance they dance blind folded
It’s one of the best performances I’ve ever seen - i think it’s may Gaon - highly recommended
Ohhhh my gosh that sounds amazing!!! Do you have a link by any chance? 🙈

Levanter (and Hellevator) is a song that made me fall in love into Stray Kids music even before I knew anything about the fandom and all. I just tried to check out what kpop is about and I was listening to many songs and many groups but I didn't quite like that kind of music, untill YT reccomended me Levanter and it was first kpop song I genueinly enjoyed and had on my playlist on repeat along with Hellevator. Then YT reccomended me performance stage of Levanter and I noticed handsome beautiful charismatic demon called Hyunjin in it and I needed to know more about him, so I started to watch more and dive deeper and I learned about fandom, biases, companies, streaming, voting and all these stuffs I had no idea before and here I am, 1 year and 9 months later, knowing every kpop group, buying merches and fighting with antis 😂 So Stray Kids was the first group that got me interested in kpop and Hyunjin was the reason I dove deeper and became a STAY 😊 Now I listen to many groups but I am only STAY because I never found any other group as amazing, original, unique, fun, genuine, honest, talented, charismatic, funny and perfect in every aspect as them 🥰
hahaha it's funny how you slowly just get sucked in! And it's no wonder why. These guys are INCREDIBLE!! ♥️♥️♥️
the pause at changbin's part😭🤣 there's a thunderous vampire version as well
Look..... Changbin is just... I have no words for him anymore hahaha
Never in my life did I imagine I would see a zombie dwaekki but it's one of the most amazing things I've witnessed in the past week 😂
HAHAHAHA it really is!!!!!
I am at 28:00 (reminder for myself). Maniac Zombie version is sooo hilarious! I am so happy you reacted to it! Your reaction is literally me :) I was thinking the whole time, that someone should feed our poor zombie-Changbin!
Now my lunch break is over, I will finish watching in the evening. Looking forward to see what you think about 'wow' XD
HAHAHA someone feed him ASAP hahahaha
when i first discovered stray kids and searched for videos to get to know them, 3RACHA reacting to their old music was one of the first things i saw and i was immediately sold on them as a group. obviously some of their old songs are on the cringe side (not in a bad way of course) because they were literally kids making music for the first time. but you can still tell that they had a lot of potential. to be able to actually hear their music making skills develop over the years is a really special thing and it massively impressed me. i'm the type of person who will pick up a craft and drop it because im not getting good at it fast enough and i lack discipline. but these guys really worked their asses off and got good at what they were doing and now they're Big big. sorry for the rambling haha i just really love watching those old 3RACHA videos because it makes you realize how far they've come.
Yeah their dedication to be better and better and better is just so admirable!! They are just INCREDIBLY hard workers and all that hard work has paid off 10 folds!
We also had fun with you thanks :)
aw thank you ♥️

The moment you said that you watch the video rather than the reaction in reaction videos and I realised that I was watching chan instead of your face 😂😂😂😂😂. I do the exact same thing .
Hahahahahahaha sometimes I get so invested in what I’m watching that I get the shits if the reactor pauses or starts to speak 🤣🤣🤣
@@melaniereacts yeah I know 😂. But I love your reactions and it doesn't matter even if you pause 10 times
@@pakhi5238 hahaha aw thank you!!!
Обожаю твои реакции! Такой классный выпуск получился. Ты столько много смогла посмотреть с совершенно разных эр))) спасибо!
Посмотри на хвостики у skzoo. Они заставляют меня смеяться)))
Levanter is such an amazing song, you should watch one of the live performances! The one that had the two moons for a thumbnail! You will love it!
Definitely 😍😍😍
OMG you reacted to 3Racha's WOW. They cringe so much over this HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHA it’s so good though
Levanter is probably my favorite english ver skz has done so far
Yeah it's soooo good!!
I love maze of memories because they all rap and I love never ending story because they all sing
- Since this is SKZ, you'll hear them mention wind once or twice in future lyrics, tying the storyline together with Levanter.
- I've mentioned that Changbin sings in way more songs than most people think. Levanter is a good example. Everyone knows his sing-rap part in the middle. Somehow most people don't realize he has several beautiful, sweet-voiced lines in the beginning. Literally half of his lines in the song just stealth right past people because they don't know or don't remember that he can sing like that.
- Anytime you see Lee Know in a bucket hat during a dance practice, it's because he's deliberately blocking his vision and dancing mostly blind so he doesn't monitor himself or the others. You'll see this fairly frequently, especially in earlier songs. (Everyone else is learning the choreo faster now, so he's no longer stuck having mastered the dance and waiting eons for the others to catch up.)
- At this point, I can't remember what you have or haven't seen, so I don't know if you've seen Side Effects yet. Levanter is full of choreo references to previous songs, and Side Effects is one of the most significant. Parts of it are either direct starting points for moves in Levanter (the opening positions are literally where Side Effects ended) or have been copied into Levanter and then changed to be a contradiction to the fear and confusion and anxiety in Side Effects (most overtly being the neck-snapping sequence with Hyunjin and Felix now being an enactment of gentleness and support). SKZ often makes small choreo references, almost like easter eggs, but in the case of Levanter, it's not just tidbits, but basically an entire collection of past works to culminate in this and create the end of that era. It's just clever and well-planned, and I _love_ it.
- I've mentioned that Scars is the end of the next era in the same way that Levanter was the end of this one. It's no coincidence that the choreo in Scars not only incorporates a similar emotional feel, as well as choreo references from previous songs, but also that it specifically references distinct imagery from Levanter, especially the penultimate "look to the sky" move.
- Also significant: I've mentioned that SKZ have confirmed that (no matter what random theories say) I.N is the only one who knows what's happening, though he's not controlling it. Notice that at the end of the Levanter choreo, everyone is scattered, facing different directions, and looking down, while I.N is dead center and the only person looking directly forward and basically breaking the fourth wall with his gaze.
Are there many live stages for Levanter? I should watch, I want to appreciate Changbin's vocals more!
Oh what?????? really?? why doesn't he want to monitor himself or others??
Yes I have seen side effects, but I will need to watch it back to see the references in choreo!! That's super creative actually and really unique!!
Ohhh interesting. I need to watch this back again as well to focus on I.N at the end!!
@@melaniereacts There are several Levanter lives, yes. Most are cb stages, with a few award-show performances and whatnot sprinkled in. I just did a quick look, and I know there are others out there that are buried deeper, but this is a good basic set: ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=levanter+live .
He usually does want to monitor, but when they're doing the recorded dance practices to release to the public, he doesn't want to get distracted and go into monitor mode. Since those specific dance practices are basically used as low-key performances, not an interactive, stop-and-go practice, he wants to be more in performance mode. And if he can see them, he's proven himself basically incapable of _not_ monitoring. He's literally done it in live performances -- one of the most recent, when Han flubbed choreo during a Thunderous cb stage -- even went viral (but because it was cute, not for anything disruptive, at least).
The Side Effects Performance Video is phenomenal; so if you haven't watched it: ua-cam.com/video/qJXCbv9xscI/v-deo.html . There's _definitely_ choreo not visible in the MV. The Studio Choom is also good and shows the same choreo, though it's actually much more dramatically and artistically presented in the performance vid. And the vampire stages are beyond words.
@@RM_formerlyjustRMbutYTsucks Nice! I really want to see Levanter live.
lol.. Lee Know is a proper dance "teacher".... Unable to switch off! it's fascinating actually. He would have absolutely DOMINATED as a choreographer if he was to choose that as his profession! He has all the perfect qualities. I know he is the dance leader and participates in choreographing - but more referring to his sole role as a choreographer. I love seeing that side of him as I am also a choreographer so it's fascinating to see.
Will 10000% check out Side effects performance video and the vampire stages
@@melaniereacts That's a solid insight into him. You might might have already heard this, but his crewmates from his former dance crew are now the choreographers, dance teachers, etc for these idol groups; these are the hyungs who helped him train and develop. One of them choreographed the Tiger Inside stage Lee Know was in in January, for example. And before entering JYP, Lee Know got accepted into college (without having to do the exams) on the basis of his original choreo -- and he was, at _max,_ 18 at the time. He's also openly said he can't half-a$$ teaching/leading; if he's in that mode, it has his entire focus.
That said, when he decides to f*ck with people, it's hilarious because no one can envision him screwing up a dance. He and Hyunjin pulled a prank that's still funny years later, if you're interested in a couple minutes of dance-centered chaos: ua-cam.com/video/8-kiBmI2FnQ/v-deo.html
@@melaniereacts That's a solid insight into him. You might already know this, but his crewmates from his former dance crew are now the choreographers, dance teachers, etc for various idol groups. One of them choregraphed the Tiger Inside collab stage Lee Know was in in January, for example. These are the hyungs who helped him grow and develop. At age 18, max, he got into college (without doing the exams) based on the submission of his original choreo pieces, and considering college-entry practices in Korea, that's a glowing recommendation on its own.
He's _so_ patient as a teacher. He doesn't do that many solo lives, but one that stands out is when STAYs kept asking him to teach them "Dawn." He had them vote which section and then spent over half an hour patiently, kindly, repeatedly teaching hundreds of thousands of non-dancer strangers the choreo for a one-minute section of dance: ua-cam.com/video/QtUuzc5SOvc/v-deo.html . He did a more abbreviated version with "God's Menu" during a later live: ua-cam.com/video/oTloWqnKqIU/v-deo.html and was just as sweet about it. But the first one in particular is just teacher (and choreographer, since "Dawn" is his choreo) personified.
It's a side of him far too many people outside the fandom know nothing about. Anyway, in light of your background and interests, I just thought you might appreciate these, even if it's off camera. (The "koom pow bapbapbap BOOM" lingo apparently being universal dance language makes me laugh every time.)
wow is my favorite lmao
goodmorning Mel!! 🤍🤍🤍
oh ye i just remembered. i hope u can react to the skz players & skz record next time!
Good morning ❤️
WOW - 3racha, is the straighest song they had lol
HAHAHA
I love every reaction you had for stray kids. One of my favorite reactor to stray kids now.
Could you also react to Hyunjin intro and behind for his AOTM.
Thank you, thank you for your love to Stray Kids.
Awww thank you so much!!
I am so happy that you reacted to wow...I dont know about other stays but its still my anthem hahaha
The boys also used to like clowning Lix with "its all good now"
If i remember corectly 3racha first did Maze of Memories and the also have Broken Compass which then was later on made for the group as Mixtape 4 or 3 dont remember but yeah
Mel you had me laughing so much at skzoo reaction
hahaha wow is amazing!! honestly hahahahha
LOL glad you had a laugh xx
Even though Halloween does not come yet, the song title is Maniac, so they can be Zombies.....right? Because they are already walking like Frankenstein anyway. Lots of them are into Zombie, so they kicked out Frankenstein and brought Zombie in (Poor Frankenstein, haha)
I think you might have missed.. but at the end of Zombie Maniac Dance, while SKZ are walking out one by one, Han was shouting "I'm alive! I'm a human being!" in Korean(난 살았다, 난 사람이다, Nan Sal-Ass-Da, Nan Sa-Ram-I-Da!) and then you can hear someone's scream (Perhaps Han's. Maybe Han got bitten by other Zombie SKZ after revealing his true identity and became one of them)
In addition, Changbin was still lingering and stay, so other(Seungmin's voice? Not sure) said "Changbin, you have to go to gym" in Korean and Changbin walked out in fast Zombie steps.
Cute and funny Kids, always 😄🧡💛 All look great in these Zombie makeups and outfits
Ahhhh true!! Good point re. Maniac and Zombies!!
omg I am going to have to listen back to hear that, I missed it hahahaha that's so funny!!
Every freaking time while i listen to levanter idk why it put my heart at ease....i just can't put the emotions in to words!i live for Lee know's falsetto! levanter is one of the reason why i am stay now..❤️
It's such a beautiful song!
changbin probably rethinking his life decisions, he's the producer of 3racha's wow 😂
hahahahahahaaha so funny though
Wow was released in 2017 and Chan was less than 20 years old in Aussie age (Changbin and Han were 17 and 16, respectively) Back then Chan was even younger than l.N now and proudly playing the older richer guy role 😁
Also, l remember two of Stay's favorite lines are "jOgiYo nOonA hOkShi nAmJaChiNgU iSsEyOo?" and "HutWutEumMan NaWaaaaaa~" Stays are often teasing Han that Han cannot make a love song(Changbin and Han said Han writes love Songs well) and also teasing that the main character of Han's song "Close" is a sophisticated version of Wow's Han.
Stays say that the unit song title by Danceracha was Wow because 3racha wanted Stay to find Danceracha's Wow instead of 3racha's Wow when Stay are searching SKZ's WOW.
Cute Stays like Cute Stray Kids, I should say
Always enjoying watching your reactions! Such a happy vibes in yours
Be healthy and stay happy!
hahahahaha omg that is so funny!!
Some where out there is a video of Seungmin taking over for Han in God's Menu during a live performance. I can't remember which one though.
Also that Maze of Memories performance is the one where they continue into Runner's High and perform with Seoyeon (G-idle) and Hongjoong. Yeah that "special stage" is way longer than the clip you watched.
I'm fairly sure the '18' in wow is a Korean 18, seeing as it was written way before debut. I mean, still mature enough to sing about someone looking hot I guess. 🤣
10:08
14:47
15:38 15:44 🤣
49:20
56:07
I lost count how many times Melanie said "omg, Hyunjin!!!" in one video, but yeah, I can't relate girl :) the man is absolutely gorgeous in every aspect, as dancer, as rapper, visually 😭
Hyunjin single handedly made me skz fan, I normally don't stan kpop, but yeah, Hyunjin is most beautiful exception I guess
11:45 Dance Channel Studio Choom's producers chose Hyunjin as best kpop male dancer
PS Levanter is still on my top5 all time favorite SKZ songs, it's criminally underrated and deserves more recognition, it's so beautiful
hahahaha seriously, Hyunjin is GORGEOUS!!
29:55 THE PAUSE 😭😭
Hola, gracias por reaccionar a Stray kids. Te quiero mucho 💫❤️🙌🏻
I still regularly think about that Changbin in Chans room… he has not left mind
Hahahahaha
Maniac zombie version is so freaking cute hahahaha Changbin is everything 🛐🛐🛐
OH MY 'THE SONG'! Cringy, but I love it 😆
Omggggg seriously I love zombbie Changbin so much hahaha
and yes... WOW is a perfect way to describe wow..... hahaha
@@melaniereacts hahahahahaha so iconic, an anthem 😆
Btw, this will be a little personal lol but Levanter is my favorite, this song, the choreo and the mv are beautiful. This one made me a Stay, like for real. I was in a really dark place at the beginning of the pandemic and this song was perfect for me at the time, this was my light so it means a lot to me.
Sorry for the TMI lol
@@susyfrnco I feel you! I went through a dark period throughout the pandemic as well!! Glad they were a type of support for you. They help people in ways they don’t even realise ❤️
Seungmin's giving the extremely hot "warm bodies" zombie vibes 😭🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
#entirelybreathtaking
Hahaha absolutely!!!
yeahh maze of memories is actually a 3racha song so its probably a rap song
I am a little late watching this reaction Mel. 😆 Even though I know so much about Skz, there is always something new. I cannot belive that I've never listened to the English version of Lavanter until now. You should have seen the big smile on my face! Thank you. Trust you and Skz to make me feel better today 🌞🎈
Not sure if you have reacted to it already, (sorry if you have). If you have not, can we listen to 3Racha "We Go" and 3Racha "Double Knot" one day, please? You might add the Skz "Double Knot " at the same time as well. 😆 Also Skz the "Tortoise and the Hare"is rather awsome as well. You know I love your reactions🎈
Definitely Val!!! Working through my spreadsheet one reaction at a time hahahaha there is soooooooo much AMAZINGNESS to see!! It makes me SO happy!
I'm sure 3racha's life span decreases by 3:15 min every time they hear WOW
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'll try to explain what Levater is to us. Imagine a full month of blackout after WJ departure. We didn't hear from them, no lives, no SNS, didn't even know if they would... disband? Then Astronaut was out. Such a strange feeling, with that weird edited video. It was a very controversial period, there was a lot of resentment towards them too, as it was their fault. Levanter was a warm, reassuring and still painful message for us, that "it's all good now" and them smiling. Levanter will always be special, still we don't recall it so easily, for its meanings and the memories associated with it (I've tried my best to explain but I'm not mother tongue, sorry 😔)
wow.... crazy!! I can't even imagine!!
OMG I'm 8days late for this. Sorry, Mel. I'm so pre-occupied these days. I even shutdown my socials temporarily because of so much works to do. 😢 But I'm all here to watch your videos and be recharged from all the stress. 😊💗
24:27 Binnie represents every Stays everywhere all around the world. 😁
SKZOO version of Thunderous is actually a fun struggle for them. LeeKnow (LeeBit) has a lot of poking moments if you noticed. 😊💗
Thanks for another fun reaction, Mel. 😊💗
1:03:15 Your reaction to Seungmin's part 😀
It's reminded me of my first reaction back in the days, I lost my shit 🤣
Hahahaha seriously!!! I was shocked
Hi beautiful.
Starting with cute minsung emotions is so nice.
The "Wow" for Hyunjin says it all... Mind-blowing look 🔥
I love this behind the scenes MV so much cause of the energy the members are sharing with each other. 06:40 butt-hunter challenge 🤣🤣🤣🤣 SKZ in a nutshell, definitely.
07:40 the chemistry between the boys is something else.. it's so nice to see, that they are joking around. sometimes I think Han talks or sings 24/7. Emi always reminds me of him... it seems like the two are almost the same person. funny actually... I hsb my own personal "Han" twin.
I definitely wanna try Hyunjin's makeup. I have to do it soon... Maybe next week.. fingers crossed. It's soooooooooo good. 😳😳🔥🔥
14:00 Lee Know's poem was definitely the best. 🤣🤣
We definitely NEED more slow motions... This is awesome, insanely mind-blowing 🔥
18:00 the Photobombes are so cute. I wish we could get this pic's too... but I think it will never happen.
Chan's facial profile is simply stanning. so handsome. love it
21:20 I saw the zombie dance practice only 3 ago and now I see your reaction.... Definitely the same like me.... I think they use blue contacts on Felix a looooooot lately.. but they fit him very nicely. BUT we all love his natural eye colour too... SKZ zombies looking sexy as hell... I love this look. Little bit cheaper..but so am I sometimes.
22:26 I definitely know, that u will stop here...and rewinds it, and rewinds it, and rewinds it. I was waiting for it and I'm SOOO HERE FOR IT 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Changbin body role compilation again 😜😜 this performance MV is soooo funny. They are all playing there role soooo good and sooo hilarious 😂
28:50 in this wow there are you famous lyrics :저기요 누나 혹시 남자친구 있어요? Han is actually always embarrassed about it and that's why he's teased about it so often. the song is so funny. maybe it was created in a vlive... like the 바다 코끼리 song.
3rachas vlive are always an absolute mess... J love it. I was laughing so hard 🤣
46:30 levanter is such a nice song. I love Lee Know's falcetto in this so much. The colour coding and the visuals are insane. The lyrics are emotional as hell. And Chan looking mind-blowing as always ❤️
Btw. I don't know why, but I don't like every english version's.. I think they don't really fit the songs. it always feels wrong to me.
55:00 you always bring me great joy with the reactions to dance practices. I like to watch them myself and am grateful to be able to watch you do it. You can't see emotions in dances often but SKZ show's it every time. you don't even have to see their faces..they suffer with their whole bodies.. that's soooooo impressive.
01:00:00 finallyyyyyy maze of memories.. this is such a strong song. This song as a live performance is undefeated. That was the first time I learned about SKZ that all of them are not only fabulous singer, they are all fabulous rapper too.
01:08:00 the SKZOO performance was such a funny thing to watch. Glad that u did this too . A little bit messy 🤣🤣 but I missed Chan's original outfit 😜 I laughed more at your reaction than the original video.
I love it when Chan is reacting to themselves on vlives...that's so cute to watch.
As always lovely Mel. I enjoyed your reaction so much. You are THE best reactor on planet earth. Love you 💓🥰😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
I WANNA TRY HYUNJINS MAKEUP SOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!
honestly.. SKZ zombie was stupidly attractive... like what??? HAHA
Look. Changbin is just.... I actually have no words for him anymore!!
hahahahahaha that line 저기요 혹시 남자 진구 있어요 I will do my best to use in every situation possible in the future hahahahahaha
Maze of memories surprised me!! It's sooooo good and I never imagined a full rap song! SO COOL!!!!!
HAHA glad I could entertain you hahaha a
love you chickie xx
yayyy!!! listen to eng ver domino!!!
Changbin has been bias wrecking the hell out of me this comeback🥲
he is...... wow....
YEAH ⭐👄⭐
I just remember seeing a comment somewhere that said this was 3rachas less inappropriate version of expensive girl and I’m like 😭😭
Hahahahaahahaha
