i LOVE how you point out hyunjin's continuous change in voice and i GET THAT like it's sooo impressive

Edit: His first name is Minho, Lee is his last name, but in their culture, last name goes first, so his name is Lee Minho. His stage name is Lee Know. You'll sometimes hear it as "E-Know", because the letter L is often silent or pronounced as an R. In Japan for example, he is Reno (I don't believe there is a letter L in Japanese, but don't quote me). You can call him Minho or Lee Know, most STAYs will know who you're talking about. I believe he went with the stage name because their was already a famous person with a name similar, if not the same to his.

Last comment, probably lol. "Title Track" refers to the main single from an album. "B Side" are the songs released after the title track. For example, Venom, is actually a B-Side, but it's SKZ. They often release a ton of videos, even for their B Side. There are even more gems with the tracks that don't have an MV. "Bias" is your favorite, "Bias Wrecker" is the one who is almost your bias, sometimes becoming your new bias. I am OT8, meaning I adore them all fairly equally, but if I had a bias, Lee Know and his personality wreck me constantly. Got to see them in concert once and HAN is even more impressive on stage. He was born to perform. I don't know if you know, but SKZ are unique in KPop because Bang Chan got to pick the members, 3RACHA (Bang Chan, Changbin and HAN) was already formed before SKZ, so they've been creating their own music even before debut. They write, produce etc. This was fun to watch!

Also, since you love Seungmin’s voice (as do I!) make sure you watch his recent show “ Song By”, there are 2 episodes so far as it’s so good!

I’ve been a stay for two years and I would say I listen to other groups more casually. Kingdom Legendary War was a tv competition show between 6 male kpop groups(Stray Kids, ATEEZ, BTOB, The Boys, SF9 and IKON) and it’s a great place to watch Stray Kids perform but also get to know some other groups. I recently checked out some P1Harmony songs which I also enjoyed but haven’t quite fallen down the rabbit hole yet but I recommend checking out their song Killing It. 😉 Enjoy your journey.

I was similar to you, I knew nothing about KPop and then got into Stray Kids, and binged as much of their KZfaq as possible. I did recently decide to branch out into more K-pop and find that I enjoy Ateez and TXT as well so that would be my recommendation I suppose 😂

I was wrong, this is really my last comment. Where to go from SKZ? I don't know. I've been in this rabbit hole of theirs since 2022. I got into KPop through BLACKPINK, their music videos were just so vibrant and the beats went so hard, but once I heard "MANIAC" by SKZ and saw Hyunjin dance... this is where I live now. STAYVILLE is my home. I do have a couple of songs on my SKZ playlist though that aren't SKZ. "Wonderland" by ATEEZ, "Sugar Rush Ride" by TXT (Tomorrow X Together) and "SHEESH" by BabyMonster (I just really like the MV).

That is literally how I discovered them as well😂😂

Love these boys they are amazing. Also so glad you noticed how versatile hyunjin can be with his voice. He can be deep to match felix, airy to match seungmin and bang chan, nasely to match I.N and even Lee know, and his rap matches han and changbin but you will notice how they use him to switch off a lot when they are going to change the tone or even go from rap to vocal or vocal to rap. There is one guide that talks about using seungmin to change the tone of the song which is true but in every example he is coming in after hyunjin and i did notice that. He may not always deliver a lot of lines or even the most memorable parts of the song but he is a focal point in a lot of the structure. Lee know has beautiful falsettos and his and han's vocals have grown beautifully. I.N is usually bridges and harmonizing. Bang chan is another whose vocals can be overlooked but he is very versatile and does a lot of the same as hyunjin with being a good switch point and blend. Changbin actually has beautiful vocals but you don't hear them often. Felix actually has a really good range and not just a deep voice. Ateez is a great group!

15:45 u should watch a han fancam one day! he’s personally one of my favourite performers(ever) he literally commands the stage u cant not notice him

I was a directioner too omg! And I'll be honest, after 1d's "hiatus" I thought i was done with boy group stuff and i never thought I'd get into kpop untill Stray kids.

20:37 those aren't short pants...there's strings that lace the top and bottom together. You can see it easier when he's seated in the beginning.

Oh my god we literally almost have the same SKZ journey! 😭 I used to be a Directioner too for the longest time and I thought my boy group fangirling days were done with that but KZfaq just wouldn’t stop with the interview recommendations until I gave in last month 😂

9:31 sameeee 😭 he is seungmin

Since you love SKZ… try Monsta X they are 3rd gen debuted in 2015 where SKZ debuted in 2018. They have insane vocals and completely disgusting rappers (in the best way possible). I’d start with Shoot Out, Alligator, Love Killa, Gambler, Rush Hour, Love, and Beautiful Liar❤ After that I’d check out Ateez who are 4th generation. My favorites are Say My Name, Crazy Form, Bouncy, Siren. If you want a a group with a more grunge rock feel check out The Rose. Favorites are Back to Me, She’s in the Rain, and Sorry.

Omg I js reacted to ur a silent voice I didn't realize you would listen to my literal fav kpop group do freeze next plzzz it's so good and then you gotta do a guide I will follow this skz journey till the end sorry I'm a fan boy of skz they saved me

girl FINALLY i found someone who wants dark and short hair felix back!!!! i miss him soooo muchhh😭😭

I'm late to the party, but if you love SKZ, you will most likely enjoy Monsta X. They debuted a few years before SKZ, but have a great discography. 1 of the members, Wonho, is no longer with Monsta X, but lately I've seen comparisons of him and Bang Chan looking similar, especially as Chan's been getting more muscular. Wonho has beautiful vocals, is buff for KPOP standards, and allergic to shirts. (I swear Chan has developed that allergy, too. 🤣) Checking out Wonho's song "Lose" is a must. Like if Chan ever covered that video, we'd all be deceased!

I'd recommend BTOB, they're an older group but they have great vocalists, you might like them :)

Pre-debut stay here.. it was fun to watch your reaction ❤ OT8 bias but Chan ult❤ (i think the explanation of ult is the member how will never get wrecked by anyone)

Question? So when you say you've gone through 4 years of SKZ youtube content, are you just talking about their music or ALL of their content, because you're right, there is a LOT of it. Welcome to KPop, and SKZ! (also you may have answered this in the video, I'm only 5 minutes in).
