happy new year's eve, stays! (warning: things are about to get VERY sappy) guys, idek where to start when i say how unexpected my youtube journey has been because of you amazing, beautiful, supportive human beings. i've probably mentioned this before but when i created this channel, i was at a very low point in my life (cliche, i know) but honestly, i was. and i don't say that lightly. i had just gotten my mcat results and learned that even after 2 attempts and years of hard work, my scores weren't enough to get me into a good med school. due to my ever busy schedule and being a HUGE people pleaser, i had realized i didn't actually have any real friends and so instead of talking it out with someone, i had isolated myself so much so that i went from being an extrovert who was always the life of the party to an irritable introvert that hard frequent bursts of anger, long spans of laziness, and just had an avoidance to life. and then one day i was swiping through youtube shorts and saw hyunjin's backdoor fancam. i thought that was neat but i wasn't into kpop so i ignored it. some weeks later, i had made a friend at uni who was a bts stan, she sent me so many bts clips to watch that eventually my algorithm became all kpop stuff. that was when i saw a youtube short compiling deep voiced idols, here is where i was introduced to felix. i was impressed but i didn't think much of it. some time later, idk why but i ended up on god's menu music video, then backdoor, then sorikkun, and then suddenly i was watching funny skz moments compilations. and then i noticed a guy who was chan but also chris and he had a whole thing going called "chan's room" and i thought to myself, where have i seen this room/studio before. i went way back in my insta story archives and found that somewhere in 2020 i had a phase of watching just this one chan's room clip where he introduced himself as "christopher" and talked about what he advised to do on your periods. i rmr being so smitten and (very childishly imo lmao) thinking that i was in love with this dude. now imagine my HUGE SURPRISE when i re-watched all the skz music videos and realised.... i had been stanning 3 idols from the same fucking band for 2 fucking years 😭 i just didn't notice because i had 7848282 other things on my mind and they changed their styles and hair colours SO MUCH that it was hard to keep track. i was such a dumbfuck 💀 but it could be fate for me to discover them lmfao anywayyyy i started getting into them and saw that most compilations had mostly the more famous moments, so to cheer myself up (and avoid social interaction in public lmao) i began editing videos of these insane, chaotic 8 dudes. and then, lo and behold, 3 months later they started gaining traction (i guess the youtube gods liked me a lot at that point akdjfhjs) and now even MORE months later, here we are. i am crying, i am sick (fucking flu), but my heart is so full with love, i just HAD to regale this whole tale. maybe in the future, you guys won't like me as much and maybe one day the constant stress of running this channel will get to me and i'll stop uploading (god forbid 💀) but for now, i am so glad you're here, and not just here-here but here on this earth, i am so glad we have made our own smol community, and i am mostly glad for that depressing ass time in my life that forced me to make this channel in the first place. you guys have my heart

We sadly didn't get a TA music video, but we got a fire dance performance video, it's such an underrated choreo omg and they all have so much fun in the video too. This is my sign to go rewatch it

This video taught me that not only are skz whipped for each other, but their editors are also whipped for skz.

" Chris my hands can be your bra" and I was on the floor 😂😂😂😭😭

5:06 chan is getting all flustered 🥺🥺🥺

Perfect👍👏💯 video🎥 cause I'm sick😷🤒

Happy New year to every Stays ! let’s support stray kids and have an amazing 2023 year with stray kids !

The minsung adultery meme killed me. Now I can't watch the rest of this video.

Now thats it 2023 im so happy to say I’ve had these incredible boys with me for basically 4 years, and that i have another incredible year ahead with them, I can’t wait to see what they have in store for us they never disappoint

the way they all clap when something's funny keeps me going

2:06 reminded me of this post I think tumblr where this person posted how in middle or elementary school walked up to their crush and said "do you want a kiss" and the girl looked weirded out and he pulled out a hershey's kiss to save himself. I'm gonna be spamming your comment section btw. This video is gonna take twice as long to watch.

"Nothing Frustrates Me Than The Fact That They Put This Much Effort Into Making Such A Cool Unveil For TA Then Didnt Even Give Us The Damn Video" Me: Domino 😑😑

Happy new year everyone ✨️ 💛 💕

Between Stray Kids, fellow Stays and you this year has been so blessed... here's to another year of blessings, thank you for all your hard work and love🤗

I am notoriously bad for drinking water and all of my dad's side and I have gotten kidney stones from not drinking enough water, so everytime you put the water break on, I make myself drink half a bottle of water. Thanks for taking care of us Stays. 💕💛💙

I was recently discharged from a mental hospital, and I'm trying to get back into the gist of things, your videos really are the best pastime for me, they're so entertaining, not to mention your captions are hilarious! I think the water break thing is so sweet, and I've been able to take care of myself a lot more because you remind me. thank you for being there for so many stays, to take your time to edit these videos for us, you truly are a blessing. hope you had a great 2022, and have an even better 2023 -hyunique x

Everyone of you are artists you all have many talents amazing personalities and you also extremely nice to the other kpop groups you know they are looking to each of you so do your best and show them you are the best always your fan🤗💓 21 comment

Happy New Year! Also read your pinned comment and I am so happy for you that your channel is so successful, because you deserve it, I love your edits haha. If I'm having a bad time, I'll come back to them. Not only for SKZ but also for your amazing intros (for real, you really match the beat of the song with all the clips and stuff and it's so satisfying), the meme references, the editing and by far my favorite: the captions (I really feel we have the same type of humor haha). I sincerely hope that you'll never feel pressure to put content on here if you don't feel like it or don't have the time, because I'd love it for you that you'll keep putting out content that you actually want to and are happy about ^^ Seriously, thank you for doing this, because I honestly think your videos (because they are so funny, witty and just good) helped me tumble really hard into this rabbithole of SKZ! ❤❤❤

LOVE YOUR CONTENT!!!! HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE AND TODAY IS MY BDAY SO THIS VIDEO HAS MADE MY DAYYYY! I LITERALLY LOVE SKZ SO FRICKING MUCHHHHH. TY FOR ALL YOUR AMAZING CONTENT 💖

Omg men steering with one hand and Bang Chan before the break🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
