This is not a drill, we finally have our confirmation that Chanie was innocent all along and Drive and Red Lights were our Danceracha’s boys’ fault😂😂

the way lee know says "im addicted to you" nah thats it for me 💀💀

THE “addicted to you” PART OH MY GOD IT KILLS ME EVERYTIME the vocal racha song is so adorable i’m crying😭

Stray kids saved my daughter from being consumed by darkness. She first fell in love with them at the start of 2019. Whilst sharing their lyrics with me I knew I needed to get to know these young men that were able to make her smile. While showing me mv’s , videos and interviews our bond grew stronger and we now share a love for their music, their passion and who they are. I personally couldn’t ask for better role models. Thank you Stray kids for saving my girl and for strengthening our bond

I’ve watched lee know’s taste fancam more times than i’d like to admit😭 the power dancracha have over me is insane. i wish we got an mv for all the unit songs

It's funny how you explained the one-sided love thing, because I 100% agree with you. I want to love these guys just to love them. I don't need anything back, I don't need the recognition. I just want to love and support them because I genuinely feel like they are good guys, who make great music and make me feel like it's ok to be who I am. Their messages in their lyrics and they way they expose themselves to us just gives me a warm feeling inside that I don't think I really felt elsewhere in my life. I am an older Stay, like mid 30's and I actually heard their stuff at debut when I was perusing around for new music. I think the first songs I heard were Grr and My side and I was just like, YES hard raps, sick beats etc etc. I've been into kpop since 2008 and it was only about the music, never the artist themselves. Until Stray Kids. When Double knot era came, that's when I really did a deep dive on them and it was the first time I felt any kind of connection like that. It was funny because I even questioned myself like... do I need to get this in-depth with a group? but these little bastards pulled me in and EVERY SINGLE TIME there was a moment in my life where I was questioning something, had a bad day or just felt lost, I legit felt like they came to my rescue to put a smile on my face. I never thought I would get this INTO a group like I have with them, but I am just so thankful to them. For being themselves, making awesome music that makes me feel proud to love and support them and I only wish them the best. They have worked so hard and I know it. I still find it funny I am where I am today, because I know how to genuinely love something and not need more than just that feeling. whew, wild.

I love these dudes. They’re the first kpop group ive ever standed, i watched a lot of group vids & listen to their songs but I didn’t got addicted like I have been with skz. They’re just different, from personalities to their songs they’re just special. I know the fact that they will be the first and the last group I will ever stan in kpop. They changed me into a good person specially Chris we’re blessed, To have channie & the whole stray kids.

I am a 50 years old wowan and I still can say that stray kids helps me a lot. Their songs are like an answer, a comfort blanket, a mental support for me. When I have so many things in my head, "voices" helps me to focus on what I want. when I am being lazy, Chan's word: to stop procastinating gives me extra energy to finish my work. When people say that what I dream/want to do is crazy, their diss tracks help me a lot. Note: I don't even like rap or edm music before stray kids but they make me love their songs.😊

As a Felix ult I’m obligated to spread the word that the very last line, the falsetto part, is Felix!!!!!! A lot of people thought it was Lino but it’s not, the other falsetto parts are though. Very proud of him.

I could probably write a novel but I’ll try to sum it up. I, like a lot of others, found Stray Kids in a dark time. I’ve been through a lot and I’d honestly given up on having joy in my life. But then I literally stumbled across them on Instagram and everything changed. Their infectious joy, genuine personalities, and heartfelt lyrics reached me when nothing else had. They remind me to take care of myself, be kinder to myself. Because of them I started exercising, keeping a journal, and embracing my hobbies, among so many other things. Stray Kids literally changed my life and I’ve been happier this year than I have the last 10. Because of Stray kids, I don’t want to just survive. I want to live.

It's you choking at Chan's part for me😂😂😂😂 I stopped breathing when his part came in😭😭❤ I have no words this time around, this comeback is going to be awesome

Taste sounds amazing, Lee Know's vocals are stunning! I cannot wait for these songs to be released. Day after my birthday! 🎉🎉🎉 I think the metaphors are thoroughly out the window with that choreo 😂🤤😅🙈 Stray Kids is the reason I listen to kpop, I got pulled in by Soyeon's raps for KDA, but it's SKZ that keeps me here. I listen to them daily. They give me energy and joy. I'm housebound, mostly bed bound, with severe Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and for a few years I couldn't listen to any music without deteriorating due to sensory sensitivities... I'm so glad I have such great quality music to listen to now that I can tolerate it again. So when I'm having a good moment and am able to listen to music, I choose SKZ. Coming back to music after years without, I was pretty disappointed with mainstream western music, so SKZ are a huge blessing with their powerful positive message and the variety in their discography. And knowing that the guys are so hard working, so humble and kind and down to earth despite their exceptional talent and beauty and success, makes it easy to love them not just as performers but as humans. My loved ones know all about SKZ because I cannot go a day without talking about something amazing they've done.

Okay *deep breath* here's what I want to say about our Stray Kids: "They are the name of love". Ever since I met them this phrase has been running through my head. Their perspective as humans, how they orient toward the situations and people they meet, seems to be built on love, and they spread that love around in soft ripples that become tidal waves. They're the best butterfly effect.XD Your point about one-sided love resonates with me because while I think the love that we have for the kids is reciprocated (and doesn't that blow me away every day), I also feel it's a selfless love that doesn't require anything in return. The passion that we feel for the people we can clearly see that they are, IS the point. For myself, all I want to see is them growing in exactly the ways they want and need, and watching them grow in the past year or so that I've known them has brought me all the joy and inspiration I need to keep growing. I'll be STAYing for a long long time. Oh, and if by some chance you're reading this, Chan, I love you.

I discovered stray kids at the start of the year, right when I needed them really. I was struggling really bad with anxiety and depression and the stress of year 12 wasn’t helping but stray kids really gave me an outlet and they helped me get through my rough patch. Atm they really feel like one of my only sources of happiness.

Stray kids were really the only group whose music calmed and gave me joy while I was taking care of my mother as she died. My sanity was saved by those moments I could lose myself in the music. (Probably a bit darker than what you were looking for. )

Straykids is my source of strength when i am having an anxiety attack, before wayback 2018 i was hispitalized almost 3 times because of depression and panic attack , before i feel useless and unwanted , i am a suicidal , i dont want to live anymore , but when i discovered straykids and their songs, the meaning of their songs is very special to me , they all speaks to me, all of their songs is what i feel inside that i cannot say , straykids are the only person that can understand what i am going thru, and they are the one who teach me to fight , they speaks to me thru their songs that is why i really love them, they dont know me personally but they know what i am going thru ,

I was introduced to Stray Kids nearly two years ago. When I fell for them head over heels last year, a few of the things I learned from them are as follows: 1. Stay Motivated. No I will never have to contend with the pressures they face. But they make me want to become the best possible version of myself I can. I think of Channie and it helps me push through the work day, into rehearsal, and into daily life. 2. Stay True. Changbin's JutDae and his and Lee Know's influence of taking care of yourself are wonderful reminders to me to take the time to love myself enough to take care of me. To not let other's influence me if I am sure and to be more confident in the person I am becoming. 3. Stay Unsatisfied. I struggle to balance wanting to become better and wanting to rest. I think they have helped me see I can rest and I can improve. There doesn't have to be a choice. I can rest up and do better and become better tomorrow. There's always another chance and even if there isn't... I'll know I did my best. And as a secondary aside: I totally agree about the one sided love thing. The design of these Parasocial dynamics with skz has me weak for them but strong enough to fight for them... I think that's important for them and us. Always wanting what's best. Even Felix in Bubble recently said that STAY's fandom is called Stray Kids, because when you find STAY's Reason and put it in, you find Stray Kids.

The comment section is full of love for Stray Kids and it's so precious

Similar to what other stays have commented, a series of bad things happened in my life in 2020 including losing one of my best friends to suicide. I wasn’t doing well at all and struggling to find anything that brought me joy. The dark, heavier rock music I had always listened to wasn’t doing me any favors. My sister sent me a SKZ video to check out and I fully expected to hate it. Ended up falling in love with their music and going down the SKZ rabbit hole. Completely changed my mood and my outlook on life- don’t really know how to explain it. Their music has like an energy to it that’s uplifting- I just feel better when I listen to them. Even their “sadder” songs like Streetlight, Lonely St. that are super relatable to me, they just remind you that someone else “gets it” or has been there before and they’re comforting to listen to. I started going to the gym, eating healthier, generally taking better care of myself. They’re such endearing and lovable people; and all the extra content they put out is so entertaining and funny they’ve made me cry laughing. It might seem strange to some, but they truly have made my life better. I love their music, but also love them as people and think they deserve every bit of success they’ve had and more. I was trying not to write a novel, but here we are lol.

I fkn love these guys! I gush over them a lot but I'm also really impressed with what they're doing musically right now. They'll try anything and everything and it exceeds my expectations every time! Also the fact that they write and produce it themselves is such a flex! It's honestly very inspiring too. They bring me the kind of happiness that I haven't felt in a long time, I'm glad I found them when I did! also, I love the hair jewel lol

Not too many people know this but I have a disability with my right foot and it makes it very difficult to walk without a cane (and some days just impossible to walk period). Stray Kids came to me around the time this started and they have reminded me that its ok to hurt, to be in pain, and to be sad some days. But they also reminded me that there are so many things to be thankful for and to laugh and love about. Stray Kids, Stays, reactors like Melanie, new friends like Mackenzie and Liv all make life a lot more beautiful since I've found SKZ. They are a big part of my reason to smile every day. And to borrow a phrase from Ivanna Jarvi in the comments below ... If by some chance you're reading this, Chan, I love you ❤

SKZ are such a light to so many people, their music and personalities make everyone feel understood and loved.

Stray kids LITERALLY SAVED ME. Probably no one will read this but I wanted to say it anyway. After moving in America not long ago, I was feeling completely lost and extremely alone, I didn’t have any friends and a lot of things kept happening from losing friends I thought we were close with to end betrayed by my best friend and so much other stuff that really Broke my mental. It was just too hard to bear with it that I thought about just end everything since I’ve been already used to hurt myself, then the day I was about to do that I ended up seeing a video of one of Channie’s room where he was saying:” Just don’t hurt yourself!” And if it’s too hard just to come to him or Stray to find a kind comfort made me just cry my eyes out. He made me realize so much things the big mistake I was about to make. I for sure, forever be grateful to Chan and Stray kids for saving my life. Since then my life had a huge impact on how I handle my hardship. I hope they will always find happiness and the light whenever they’ll be in the darkness . 💕✨#lovestraykids

Love your idea. I think what draws me to SKZ is their vulnerability, they are okay with being uncomfortable, and that really allows us to see them as people. So being authentic, working hard and self-belief in their vision and goals is evident in all the members and as a unit and it creates this sort of perfect storm with the music they create. It is why I'm a Stay and it is probably the reminder I take from them -- be unapologetically true to yourself.

Words can’t not begin to explain how SKZ has impacted my life and my daughter’s. It has been a life changing experience truly. Inspiration, happiness, love, kindness, are just a few things I experience with SKZ everyday. They are part of my life that will not change. Never felt like this for an artist/group before ever! At 52 you would think I’ve experienced it all but not at all. After my breast CA diagnosis it was bleak but I survived, then COVID and my daughter introduced me to SKZ. She simply said, “SKZ just makes me happy mom”. I decided to see what was helping my daughter threw depression and social anxiety and off I went. They are the piece that was missing in my life, truly. I can go on and on, but too much to write. I hope they know just how much they are positively impacting many of us Stays out here. Stay strong Kids we will continue to support you. #LoveStay.

Stray Kids taught me inspiration. They're not afraid to show the process, to show the dedication and experimentation and learning. I have learnt so much about character from them. If I can look myself in the eye and be confident in my own skill because I know I did the work then it doesn't matter what other people say about it. People's appreciation should emphasise happiness, it should not create it. If I'm ever feeling discouraged I think of Hyunjin who looked at dance or art and went, I want to do that, and worked for it and did it. I think of Chan who kept going despite struggles and found his family in the end. I think of Han who said he would not let his depression consume him because it would consume his dreams too and they were something he refused to give up on. They remind me that no matter what you are feeling you still control your decisions, and in your actions you can control and create your future. It might not be easy, but you only taste the greatest joy after fighting for it.

My daughter was a STAY 2 years ago, and I had no idea what k-pop was. She seems to be spending her time watching K-pop, which worries me. On her desk, she has a small picture frame. The picture of her most prized possession is usually kept in that frame. First, a picture of her in elementary school, then a picture of her dog, but recently, a picture of SKZ. So, one day, I made the decision to introduce myself to K-pop in order to get close to her. I began with BTS. I liked them a lot. I then asked her about the boy band in picture frame. She introduced me to them, but I hardly remembered them all. Minho was the first thing that caught my attention because she told me that Minho is her bias. Felix, Hyunjin, Han, etc..followed. My daughter seems really pleased that I'm engaged in SKZ. Moving forward, a year later, I am a huge STAY. My happy time is all of SKZ content. None other group has this power yet. Some might say, that's because you're new to k-pop. But I don't think so. I've tried listening to other k-pop groups, but none of them captivated me like SKZ did. Now I have a dream to attend SKZ concert in Seoul with my daughter. We kinda planned it. Hope this will come true. I wish all the best to Stray Kids!

I never felt so inspired with any other group/solist (not only kpop). I feel so close to this guys, they are like friends for me haha and that is because they are always doing lives or talking with us on bubble. Also their lyrics and melodies are sooo good!! they talk about real feelings and problems and not less important they produce their own music. I will support them until I die haha

It's like exactly 1 year since I was shown Red Lights, first kpop mv I ever watched, and it didn't take long for me to become a stay. The boys have brought me so much joy, no matter how much I joke about them ruining my mental health, sometimes they've been the only reason for me to keep going. And without getting into Stray Kids I would've never have found you Mel, and our little family that I truly love. That's the best I can do, cause I really don't know how to express the impact they've made in my life. I love them, I love you, and now I'm getting sappy and teary eyed before work so I'll leave it at that

I don't usually comment at all. I'm a silent stay only cause being introverted and other stuff along with it makes it hard for me to interact with others. SKZ is the first kpop group I've come across so its being alot to take In and learn. Especially with appreciating music. 3racha is my bias line. I would listen to music that where trendy. Never really bothered to pay attention to lyrics. SKZ has changed that. Their music was loud enough to grab my attention. Their lyrics where so relatable. They just brought so much positivity and happiness with their different personalities. Like you said. I don't want anything in return from them. I don't want to be noticed. I just hope they continue to make music that I can enjoy listening to.

This album from them is gonna HIT so hard. Stray Kids from the jump have been a staple in producing quality.

YES I CAN'T WRITE ANYTHING POSITIVE AFTER ALL THESE UNVEILS I CAN ONLY SHOUT WITH YOU THAT STRAY KIDS IS VERY HOT AND HAS JUST SOLD 2.24M PREORDER ALBUMS LIKE WTF, I CAN'T DO BUT SCREAM

What I’ve learned from Chan/SKZ. Bringing everyone together. Trying to bring Kpop together. I admire that so much. It can be applied in any group setting. Also how they built their relationships. The patience and love 😊 I really love these guys!!!

I love how you described your love for these boys because it's similar in my case. I don't stan or follow anyone actively so easily and have done it for only 2 groups and 1 person in my life (I'm in my 30s), so Stray Kids is special to me. I've been amazed at every new things I learn about them and everything I see them do, and after following them for a while, I can see they're truly wonderful human beings (not to mention incredibly talented artists). . Even though my ult bias is Hyunjin (he is my happy pill; I have a pic of him smiling on my phone screen so I can look at him when I'm stressed or exhausted or depressed), Stray Kids as a whole and individually is one of the best things I've discovered and loved. I wish I had known them sooner, that's my only regret. Sometimes I feel like I don't even deserve them lol. . I don't know if this is how they've changed my life, but since I knew them, I feel like I have more will/energy to fight for things I want or against things I hate. I started learning Korean again so that every time I go to their concerts I can understand them (which I kinda did a bit at the unveil concert... yayyy I feel so proud of myself). I'm also inspired to start drawing/painting again thanks to Hyunjin (I used to do it on a daily basis as a way to cure my soul). Sorry this is getting long haha. . Yes, some footages in the unveil tracks are from the actual concert (Seoul special unveil 11). I got chills. Btw, I still pray that we get MVs for these unit songs even though the chance is slim to none. Brb crying.🥲

I found SKZ right before one of the lowest points in my life and since then they’ve continuously been getting me through all of my sh*t days. Through them I’m now a part of this amazing fandom that I love so much, like this online family is honestly so special to me. I’ve never felt this way with anything I’ve been interested in before. I feel like happy doesn’t do justice to the way SKZ and Stay make me feel, but they really do make me unbelievably happy. Stray Kids have brought so much joy into my life for the past three and a half years it’s insane. They helped me realise that I’m not alone in the things that I suffer with, that there are people out there who know how I feel. This community that they’ve created makes me feel understood. All the mushy stuff aside, I just really enjoy their music and content. They’re one of the few artists that, for me personally, have a no skip discography. I love their sound, it’s so diverse and yet all still SKZ to a tee. And their content is just either hilarious or comforting. They inspire me in so many ways, especially my creative side. I have so much respect for them as artists and as people. Sometimes I wish I had been a part of their journey from the beginning, but honestly I’m glad I found them when I did because that’s when I needed happiness the most and I know that’s the case for so many other Stays. I have endless love for Stray Kids and so much gratitude for the positive impact they’ve had on my life. This group and this fandom will forever be special to me. SKZ you deserve all the success and love in the world ❤

I’m just going to make this short but Stray Kids, to me, they’re my safe place. The very first time I listened to their music, they feel so welcoming- the thing I also experienced when I first got into Bangtan. Changbin’s 어서 오십시오 in God’s Menu and Namjoon’s 어서 와 방탄은 처음이지 in Dope were the ones that started it all. I just feel very happy, excited and giddy whenever I think of the kids. I can never be astray with them because the time that I found them, they also found me. And I love them so, so much for that. As for Mel’s reaction, help our girl she dyeing out here 💀🤣 the way she descended from her chair was the exact same thing I did the moment the unit tracks were dropped at midnight and got to see christopher’s high quality visual (++ chris tiddies 👀) while performing 3RACHA... mine’s only a bit exaggerated but you get the idea haha also, yes, save channie from all the droive and red lights writing allegations, ‘twas hyune and minho all along 👁👄👁

I discovered SKZ during their I am YOU, comeback it was the first song I heard and I absolutely loved it and played it on repeat. I didn't know anything about them but the lyrics and their voices won me over. Then I did a deep-dive and listened to every song they had and fell deeper. Being the only person in my family that listened to kpop I just enjoyed them on my own for 3 years, including missing their first tour because I didn't want to go alone. Then over the pandemic, I started getting my 2 sisters into kpop and one of my sisters who was going through a very difficult time, and was the more reluctant one, asked me for some new music and I immediately introduced her to SKZ. Like me, she grew up on hip hop and rap and it's something we always bonded over. I knew she would appreciate them and get a lot from them as I had. Needless to say, she is an ULT Changbin and 3racha bias. We even watched the survival show and kingdom together so she could get to know them better and yes she cried her eyes out. This year my two sisters and I went to see them in LA and she notes it as one of the best experiences of her life. I love all their music and they are definitely one of my ULT groups and although their hard beats and raps are what kept me coming back, I am you (especially the ballad version) will always be my #1 and hold a very special place in my heart. We are definitely a SKZ family 🥰

Our Straykids becomes the First, Fastest and Only 4th Generation Group to Sell more than 2Million(2.24M) pre-orders with their Album Maxident!! Super proud of Our Straykids and Stays as well..! Our Straykids are Double Million Sellers now! They sold almost 4Million albums alone in this year!!!

Lee know is really insane , we always praise his dancing, performance skills and visuals but plssss his vocals are so good! The falsettos and high notes he did wow

As an older woman I found Stray Kids very inspiring. The lyrics they write give people hope and I needed that. How do you say thank you for feeling joy again.

Aside from the reaction from Ms. Melanie 🤭...I'm just reading all the comments how skz really found us all when we needed them the most. I feel and see how all of you feel and I'm sure the kids know that as well. And thank you , Melanie for being a part of us to witness their journey and for always treating them with so much love and kindness. They truly deserve it all. All the love to everyone ❤️.

I got into Stray Kids last year because of Kingdom. I knew nothing about them before but I was so blown away by their performances that I had no other choice but to go down the rabbit hole. Got obsessed with their huge and versatile discography and the fact that it's them making the music makes it so much more impactful to me. Then of course I also fell in love with them as people because it's simply impossible not to. I've been living the fangirl life for a long time so I know the pitfalls of parasocial relationships but I do truly believe that every single one of them has a good and kind heart. The way they treat and love each other and the hard work and authenticity they pour into their art are things that you cannot fake in my opinion. And I think that light and positivity that they naturally exude are what all of us are automatically drawn to because it comforts us, especially during dark times. I was in such a bad place in the beginning of last year and honestly it's still hard now but during that entire time, Stray Kids became a place for me to go where I could turn off my brain and just feel happy for a while. Like a holiday for the mind. And I know exactly what you mean when you say that you sometimes ask yourself what Chan would do, Mel. I think he is such an admirable person and not because I think that he is perfect but because I can see that he is truly a good person at his core and that all he wants is to help the people who he loves to be happy and to succeed. Seungmin said in the Maxident intro video they just released that the reason he loves SKZ is not because they are perfect but because of the imperfections that make them SKZ and that's exactly how I feel about them as well. I think that is what I try to apply to my own life. Stop expecting myself to be perfect but rather just strive to be better, even if it's just in very small ways. Lastly, I also have to mention that a veeeery big reason I appreciate Stray Kids is because without them I would have never found your channel, Mel. I've been watching ever since you posted your first 'Army reacts to Stray Kids' video and I felt the exact same genuiness and positivity from you as I do when I watch or listen to Stray Kids. Guess good people just have that type of glow haha. Since then watching your videos has honestly become just as big of a comfort for me and whenever SKZ release something my first thought is genuinely "I'm excited to rewatch this with Mel and hear what she thinks about it (and see her freak out haha)". And I want you to know that I feel the same way about you as I do about SKZ, which is that I never want you to feel pressured to make content or be perfect in any way. I simply appreciate you and SKZ for the people that you are and wish I could return all the happiness that I have received tenfold back to you. Ok I'm done with this emotional, rambling, embarrassing mess of a comment now. Gonna go watch your Maxident comeback live now, byeeeeee✌

Someone on Twitter said it felt like getting Punched, Fucked, and Hugged, honestly, that said it all for me too. These three unit songs are SOOOO GOOD, I can't wait!

I appreciate these kids so much. They have given me the ability to smile on a daily basis and I just want to thank them for that. I was feeling isolated due to a lot of things and finding something to connect with was amazing. I am an older Stay and this is the only Kpop group that I have gotten attached to. Felix's voice drew me in, but the creativity and the talent made me continue to listen. I started a deep dive and I don't regret anything except knowing how hard they work and how much the have to deal with. I hope they know happiness and love and take care of themselves first. Thank you.

Your reaction to all the teasers is exactly how i reacted 😂😂

Stray Kids makes me happy, they give me motivation, they charge me up, I feel heard by them and their music, they make me smile and laugh and I am just so grateful to have found them!

I completely agree with you. I love them so much. I have never tought this could happen at my age ... Even though I know I'm bizarre ... I do love them, need them in my life. Such a positive flow. Love them all as persons. Love their music. Love the whole of them. Want nothing more.

What Stray Kids gives to me, it kinda ties into what you were saying about one sided love. What Skz has given me is first, music that I love. Music is fuel for my soul and Skz gives me so much fuel.❤️ But also them as people..they make my heart so full with love. And it doesn’t need to be returned at all. I know they love their fans & being a fan means they love me. Doesn’t need to be any more then that.🥰 They just make me happy and when life gives me struggles, I can find happiness in them and their music. My second and equally important thing Skz has given me is the friends I’ve made thru this fandom. You Mel and our wacky family.🥹 If it weren’t for Stray Kids and Ateez, I’d never have met you. The bonds I’ve made with y’all are so very special to me and I wouldn’t give them up for anything. Basically Skz gives me love. So many kinds and in so many ways.🥰🥰🥰

Baby Stay, here. I only discovered SKZ a couple of months ago after stumbling upon Hyunjin's AOTM. I was captivated by his dancing ability and intense performance presence - I had to learn more about this amazing artist. I was never terribly into kpop before (a few songs here and there). All are talented artists, but at the end of the day none of them really struck a chord with me. Until I found Stray Kids via Hyunjin (thank you, king!). Miroh was the first song I listened to...and I was entranced. I can't speak Korean, I had no idea half of what they were saying. But I could feel the emotion and the heart they put into the song resonating deep within my soul (as cheesy as that sounds). There was something about their sound that was so unique from my prior experiences. Again, I had to learn more. One lengthy deep delve later and I come to find eight multitalented vocalists, rappers, dancers with an ingenious and unique production team (shoutout to 3racha!) making the most innovative and varied tracks - and at such a young age!? As they themselves say, they are really a menu that can appeal to anyone and at anytime. And they inspire. They inspire me. I didn't stumble across them at a dark or difficult time, per se. More of a...lackadaisical time? In this climate of limited social interaction, I had become complacent. I lost my passion for hobbies, creativity, self-improvement... Now I workout with an SKZ playlist on repeat. I am picking up my pen to make art again. I am finding a new fandom to interact with on my socials. I am trying new hobbies like photography. Not only are they talented musicians, but the personas they convey in their extraneous content are infectious, genuine, heart-warming. Is that really who they are? I don't know. I hope so. But it is at least how I know them - and their words and advice have dusted off the cobwebs and reminded me that there is more to this world than the four walls I stare at everyday. I want to get out and see more, do more, be more. I want to try new things and see new places. And I am not the only one who has been inspired by Stray Kids. Every space has their ups and downs, but this is by far the warmest and strongest fandom I have ever been apart of. And I am here to Stay. (Apologies for the novel 😅 I was never any good at summarizing my statements)

A fosil stay here, I got into Stray Kids during their pre-debut time, it was the lyrics of Hellevator that helped me through a new chapter of my new life! I lost contact to alot of my old friends and classmates, I feeled so lonely and unloved but then Stray Kids appered at the right time in my life! They saved me from depression and anxiety and filled my dark and shadowed heart and mind! I thank them so much for saving my life! I love them so much!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hyunjin has the most writing and composing credits for this song, then Lix then Lee Know. Hyunjin also had a hand in the production process. Apparently this was a Hyunjin song originally. One of the teen vogue writers has written an article about Hyunjins producing skills and this was indicated as a spoiler for the article.

I have learned so many things from Stray Kids. Honestly, I’ve never fallen this hard for a group, or any musical artist, or any celebrity, before. For me personally, I always felt somewhat uneasy and judged (?) stanning boy groups, especially because I’m not attracted to men, and the way people view those who stan boy groups is just really unfair and along with that is a lot of people questioning lesbians who stan boy groups and are confused about how I can love them so much without being attracted to them. But I’ve met so many different people because of Stray Kids, from different backgrounds, cultures, ages, etc,. And I realized not to let that stuff affect me because it doesn’t matter! Plus, Stray Kids are so supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. I don’t know if you’ve seen that infamous clip of a lesbian stay telling Chan about a date with their girlfriend and that they met because of the kids, and he was so happy and proud. Stray Kids in general have taught me so much about acceptance, self love, and like you said, composure. I am a very sensitive, emotional person, and Stray Kids are SO incredibly in tune with their emotions and emotionally mature, perspective and introspective. It is so admirable and has helped me feel better about being an emotional person while also teaching me how to put that to use (?). I went through a very painful breakup earlier this year, and I honestly don’t know how I would have gotten through it without Stray Kids. I don’t mean that in a weird dependent way, but knowing that them and their music were there for me during hard times meant the world. Like you said, even though they don’t know me, they love Stays (it’s the most wholesome & genuine relationship I’ve ever seen between celebrities vs fans btw) and they care about our wellbeing, but I also don’t need the same love that I have for them returned to me because I’m happy like this. I love the eight of them so much and both individually and as a group they have taught me so much. Basically, I’m in this Stray Kids shit for life.

i could probably write a book of all the nice things i have to say but i guess ill start off simply with that i just love what theyre doing. i have been into kpop for ... a long time... to say the least, and i dont think ive connected with a group this much since i was in highschool jamming to girls generation every day. this is the first group in a while i truly have so much fun stanning and love each and every member so so much. i love their dedication to their work, i love how sweet they all are to each other and to stays, i love getting to hear their own lyrics and hear them talk abou their respective creative processes. i wasnt with skz since the beginning, but going back once i started stanning and looking a their work you can see just how much they have grown and even in the year or so ive been a stay the amount they have grown both as people and as artists has been amazing to see. skz bring me entertainment through their music and variety shows they do, they bring me comfort through their stories and their music, and they inspire me in my day to day life. theyre just a group i connect with so well and i am so happy to be able to be a fan and watch them succeed. they seem like such sweet guys and i just find myself hoping each day that all 8 of them get to have a nice day and do something that they want to among their busy schedules. idk, i just think theyre really cool and im so glad theyre together as stray kids, and that i get to be a fan.

Thank you for your beautiful idea of SKZ message. I totally have to agree with both the elements you mentioned. I've never seen a more composed leader in my life (who has to: write, sing, produce, dance, come up with crazy concepts, and STILL has time to check out reactor's videos, appreciate them, have a good time with stays, and always communicating his thoughts & concerns perfectly clearly. Of course the other members are no less special too. By extension, it is also crazy to consider all the hard work they have to put in, the stress they have to go through and still interact with stays in the most genuine way! One other closely related point is the fact that, while everyone I've seen adops a certain persona to fit into this mold called "industy", one can just feel that skz are not about that "fitting" mentality. They always make sure they are THEM. And they always make sure they come up with the strangest most beautiful flavors, which makes them stand out from everyone. And this brings us to your other point, which was the case for me too (and many others i'm sure). I just love them so much because of those subtle but big details, even though they have no idea who I am (and never will). Their energy is contagious, and not one day passes without me checking them out. It elavates my mood and reminds me of what it's like to work hard, do it big, be brave, but still be you, and still enjoy the little things.

Your hair jewel is very pretty mel. You're stunning in general ✨️ can't wait to see you freak the fck out lmao

SKZ was my introduction to k-pop. Actually, Felix's Tik Tok was the first thing I saw and that pulled me right in 😅I'm so glad I got to know and love them. After almost not making it after these tracks, I can say they are and always will be my ult group, not only because of them as people but also for the amazing music they produce. I'll be forever grateful to them for making me feel so many things with their art. so funny you mentioned the one-sided thing Mel because this is the only one-sided love I actually enjoy for the first time in my life 😂😂 I thought I wasn't ready for Oddinary comeback, but I'm actually NOT READY AT ALL for this one ☠☠☠

For me Stray Kids just brings happiness and joy. Even if I have really shitty day I can be sure that whatever content from these beautiful men I watch will bring to me small piece of happiness. I found Skz beginning of May '22 by pure accident via Instagram reel. At that time I was in middle of really dark time but something about Skz was so captivating that I wanted to learn more. I have never really listen kpop because usually I just listen metal or instrumental music. I don't remember any other group that would have captivated me this much. Like Nightwish will forever be my ult group because they are just the most talented musicians that I know. Like "The Greatest Show on Earth" is 20 minutes long art piece and when you can hear it live, it's just pure bliss and magic. Stray Kids have totally different genre and they don't resemble at all any other group that I usually listen. I think the biggest reason why they have taken so huge part of my heart is the lyrics. Songs sounds nice but it is the lyrics that will make me listen songs again and again. Maniac was the first song that I heard from Skz but Secret Secret, Silent Cry, Lonely st and Slump were the reason why I didn't want to stop listening. And after that I wanted to learn more about these 8 men. What I have learned from them has been that everyone will go with their own pace and if you want something you need to be ready to work for it. It's always amaze me how hard working they are and how much passion they have. And how much they are ready to give their fans. They truly are something special and I want to see where they will go in the future. There is so much what I would want to say about Stray Kids but I think that my English vocabulary isn't enough for that. I hope someone can understand what I try to say because writing in English is always difficult. That is the reason why I usually don't comment anything even though I have watched so many of your videos. But what I would want say to Stay Kids is just "Thank you. You always make me happier with your music."

I am a night shifter. I often feel disconnected from my community. I am awake when everyone is sleeping. Skz lives across the world. They are awake when I am. I feel like I am able to be a part of community again. Something I didn't even know I lost until I found it in skz.

Haha that was me! Good quality sound tweet 👌🏻 and I agree these unveils are 👀🔥. First things first, I'm a person who purposely listens to lyrics to any song, if the lyrics are no good no matter how awesome or trendy it sounds I will not budge. So long story short back in 2019 I was hitting rock bottom, questioning everything and comparing myself to others in my age group. The first time I heard of Stray Kids was thru the song "My Pace". With no recollection of kpop and who Stray Kids was, these young men came to me at a time when I most needed help. The impact of those lyrics was enough to stop being so hard on myself and being my harshest critic. In reality I don't have anyone to look up to or have a guide in life. B/c of those lyrics, I found myself wanting to become better b/c they were striving to be better, I started trying new things like Changbins jutdae, I appreciated Lee Know's care for the kids (not having to ask you for help, you just know they got you), I.N's happiness and room to grow, Seungmin's hard work (doesn't go unnoticed), Felix's soft heart - we need more of it, Han expressing his emotions or sharing his life experiences thru his lyrics, Hyunjin raw emotions - no fake expression, wanting to share love and lastly Chan....bless his heart we are similar in so many ways I just want to wrap him in a blanket and take care of him, he produces music & I'll take care of the rest and be his anchor. He has such a big heart there is no limit. It must've been so hard navigating life by himself, which I relate to so much b/c that is me. Of course that didn't stop him tho from becoming the musician he is today with his fellow members. That alone made me think, hey you can still do what you want to do if you believe it and work hard, you can do it. Slowly but surely here I am lol now making more friends then what I have in the past 7 years, growing as an individual, and my patience - there is no extent (ok maybe I'm exaggerating but compare to before voila). I don't know if any of this makes sense, but if he happens to read this "Chan you are doing wonderfully and I'm proud of you. Also get some rest and take care of yourself...there is only ONE Bang Chan/Chris in this world"

⚠️T/W⚠️ Two/almost 3 years ago, I was in the worst mental state of my life. Like, I just finished university, I had a job that I didn't like and I was just in survival mode. I lost my job due to cov1d, and after that I didn't know what else to do, I felt like my life was in pause, stuck, literally a Slump... I was always angry, sad, I cried every day isolated in my room... It escalated to the point I started thinking "what's the point to keep 'living' such an awful life?" Then I saw Hyunjin's psycho fancam and he mesmerized me to the point I felt the need to know more about him... after that I found Stray Kids 🥹💕 I watched everything I need to see, heard, learned about them. Chan's room compilations appeared and I just let it all out. Then Changbin and Han's lyrics (specially Han's) hit me so deep that I felt understood! FINALLY! Finally someone knew what I was going through and put it into words perfectly! Those kids gave me the courage to find mental help, apply for a job that I always wanted to try and made me see the whole picture. There's more in life to discover, there's more in life to enjoy and be happy about. And yes, with them I discovered that a one sided love is not always painful🫂💕 THANK YOU SO MUCH CHAN FOR CREATE STRAY KIDS, THANK YOU STRAY KIDS FOR YOUR TALENT, PERSONALITIES, UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND SUPPORT, THANK YOU STAY FOR BEING A BEAUTIFUL FANDOM💕💕💕

Stray kids helped me a lot. 💚 I never thought there could be anyone in this world so good! They are all so hard-working, creative, friendly, wise, and humble, yet they have the best attitude, they never talk people down but talk themselves up, and their music is so chaotic! I love it! 💗 They are not afraid to be embarrassed; it makes them seem so confident. They really changed my outlook on life, and I wanna be a better human being because of them, especially 3racha! And the excellent beat, super deep, poetic, yet funny lyrics. Precise creative dances and charm! I just wanna be able to meet them one day.

Girl, you were going through it! I knew what was coming, so I was thoroughly amused watching you struggle through it. Thanks for such an entertaining reaction. 😄 And yes, these songs are sooo good!

What a cute idea! Anyway, I found Stray Kids during the pandemic and they genuinely made quarantine so much better. They gave me reason to be happy and I find myself laughing/smiling when watching their vids even if I was feeling down. I've learned a lot of good life lessons from their songs and I also find comfort in their songs, even from skz themselves I've learned so much about being a good person. I genuinely think that discovering Stray Kids has made me a better/more mature person, even just a little. These boys have a special place in my heart and I'm definitely not gonna stop stanning them any time soon.

Stray kids for me are the joy in my life, literally! I was so lost last year before I found them and then I listened to Love Stay when it came out and I was just like: These boys love their fans so much, I wanna be loved like that by someone, I never would’ve thought that I would love them that much! I still feel lost some days but Skz always give me comfort and help make my day better❤

Stray Kids music is what I fell in love with first, it's something else, I'd never heard anything like it, no matter my mood there is a song that fits. They feel like home and bring so much happiness, also helping when I have anxiety. They give so much and their constant hardwork motivates me every day. The parasocial relationship we have as a Stay is recipricated in the way they seem to genuinely care, like wanting us to be happy and healthy, eat well etc. As Felix would say 'it's healing' and I love them for this. Even though I have a bias they are all special to me in their own way (I could go on and on, honestly). Proud to be a Stay! 💗

Ok, I've finally listened to the album and watched all the unveil videos, so now I can come back and watch this, yay! 16:20 watching you slide to the floor was SO FUNNY AND SO RELATABLE LMAO, can't wait to get to the album listen!! ....3racha really is *that* song, isn't it? so gooooood

Stray kids made me feel like I am main character for my own life ❤ They always have songs for every moments ❤ I love them so much

"I love them for them" is so relatable 🥺💗

The way I was like she's not ready for the "Taste" cut to 1min later - Melanie under the desk

I found Stray Kids when I was in a lost depressive condition because of breaking up. I smile every time I see them, it’s like healing time. They’re so precious and their music is something incredible✨And being a part of our fandom is so exciting! I mean I didn’t know that three are so many sweet people all around the world and we are so alike when it comes to SKZ. Also, looking at how you’re going crazy because of these songs is so relatable like OH MY GOD how should I live now till the comeback day!?! (Sorry for my eng if smth wrong🙂)

I am a fossil Stay (but prefer fine wine Stay), 36 years old. My bad habit is that my interest in something or someone only lasts for few months at the best. Now I am a Stay since after Gods menu era and my interest isnt slowing down. O_o So here are some things that I noticed myself: 1. my body is reacting itself when i listen to their music - its like when you feel something deep inside and you have no power to do something about it and actually you dont wanna :-) - and I caught myself smiling widely in multiple occasions when I watch them 2. I can love 8 guys and my love is always different but with the same intensity (I dont have to say, that its love for 8 guys on the other side of the world and maybe I wont never see them live) 3. I care for them like being part of my family - I worry about them, I cry when something is happening to them (I still get anxious after Hyunjins hiatus and every time they are performing somewhere, first thing I do is that I count them all , because OT8!) but at the same time I remeber how good my day was when I saw that Lix and Chan were visiting their home and Chan did his vlive with Berry, I was so incredibly happy 🙂 4. They reminded me that nothing is impossible, even if you are not good at something, you can became a master of it if you work hard and it doesnt have to be insane work, because everyone has its own pace 5. when you promise something you should do it - thanks Channie for keeping your promises .-) 6. its ok to be a homebody because you are not weird when you dont need people to have fun 7. I have a feeling that someone is taking care of me - Leeknow and his way to make you feel like you are one of his cats, I love it 🙂 8. that love is limitless and can be very pure - I am looking at you, Lix. .-) 9. that I should use a cold blow dry when I am doing my hair - thanks, Hannie, its actually really works :D 10. and be humble because I shouldnt take everything for granted and enjoy little things in my life. I suffered form depressions for a long time, but they existing really help me on the way to be better. .-) thats it, thanks for everything, Mel, I really love your reactions, so lets go simp once more, because when Binnie said SHUT UP, I was almost on my knees :D

My only message for skz is you all are just amazing. Not just your music but you yourself. You mean alot to alot of people.

You finally reacted to this, I was really waiting for your reaction even a minute after the unveil track Stray Kids was uploaded haha I'm so dependent on your reaction to Stray Kids And yeah...I watched your reaction at school haha❤

As a long-time kpoper, SKZ has been really different for me!! They've become my role model in many ways especially because they helped me a lot with my mental health. That was also the starting point of me becoming obsessed with skz, since they were the ones who I've always relied on when I went through sui*idal thoughts. So, they've become my safe place. I can't even express how much strength they've always gave me to continue living✨✨ It's just near 2 years of me becoming a stay but literally they are one of the main reasons why I live. All of them are so precious to me. *it's kinda bitter but sometimes I even hate them that I can't leave them behind and sui*ide* 😊😊 +also I forgot to say their lyrics are always on another level~~~ I swear I've never seen lyrics that I can relate to this much. Like streetlight, sunshine, 조각, slump, voices, hellevator, grow up, etc.......

You just casually grabbing the plane Felix threw at the end of Taste LOL

3Racha a combination of three rain clouds 🔥 I hear you chan, changbin and Han

The 'shut up' sounds like an ode to Stormzy, swear they say it the same way as in his song Shut Up!... Also it sounds like Felix to me ha 🤦‍♀️ I was laughing out loud when you were losing your mind at Chan ha

something changed in me when minho said 'just look at me' idk idk idk wtf is going onnnnn anymoreeeeeeeeeeeeee

3racha always leaves me feeling mesmerized, they are so talented and cool wow.

hi mel! i love the idea of sharing why skz is important to us, I just apologise in advance for my long ass story lmao. I found straykids along with Kpop almost exactly this time last year, and while I maybe learnt names/ got familiar with other groups simultaneously, stray kids really seemed to be the perfect match for me. apart from their music's diversity and overall sound being so amazingly inclined with my previously broad music taste, ( the primary reason I feel like I was able to easily get into Kpop as I was not straight away the biggest fan of the classic Kpop/ boy group sound despite loving it now) everything else about them as individuals and what they stand for makes me feel understood and valid. I recently turned 16 and have always felt that my understanding of those around me on an analytical and empathetic level was extremely high for my age, to the point where I got called overly 'emotional' and highly sensitive when I was younger, struggling with friendships and forming bonds when I felt they were much shallower then what I was looking for. of course ten year olds are not inclined to want for such deep connections and I learnt that through some tough lessons, however I am lucky to say I have a wonderful group of friends around me now as well as an amazing circle of people with me in high school. nevertheless, I find despite reaching a certain acceptance in my sensitivity, I only really felt validated fully after seeing skz interact with each other in such a close way. two kids room is so special to me because this is exactly where I feel I can see people show such a deep level of understanding and love for one another that I haven't seen be so real before. I can say however, that they helped me the most in terms of just getting through life. I did not expect to find them at such a vital point in my life, but I do question a lot as to what I would have genuinely done without their presence and existence merely as musicians let alone who they are as people. my parents are currently divorcing, with the process starting at the beginning of this year, and I can not count how many times skz have simply calmed me, helped distract me, lifted my mood or made my seemingly horrible day better. the first few months off 2022 were an extremely rough time for me at home, and I had very important exams happening simultaneously, and while life was carrying on, and id like to think of myself as a resilient person for getting through that time, there were many moments where life seemed too large or too overwhelming for me to live. fortunately, I could turn channie's room on and feel calmer, or even just play Another Day on loop til I had no more tears to cry. similarly to consoling me in dark times, they also were a source of light that created happy memories and put a smile so bright on my face that darkness seemed far away. I got very close with my friend who I now consider a sister thanks to Kpop and skz, and they were the reason we could scream and laugh together at the tv, talk for hours and grow closer over a shared interest. I love them al and each one of them has taught me something different, and I feel they are not like other groups in how open they are with us, sharing their hurt or joys when they aren't obliged to. I firmly believe that skz have such a special connection with stays that I haven't seen anywhere else and I will forever support them even if I some day fall out of love with Kpop as a genre. they will always mean something special to me, and I hold them all very close to my heart for simply being there. (sorry again for the novel but I genuinely couldn't bring myself to simplify this)

Okay so heres my five cents on skz impact on my life. i totally agree with the one sided love aspect even though i might interpret it a bit different from you. I have found skz while in a really lonely time of my life. I had fallen apart with my parents and kinda lost connection to my friends from uni cause i dropped out of the degree and so i found skz right when i needed them. even though I've been a kpop fan before that, it feels different with skz. Usually when i felt lonely, watching kpop didn't help me with that cause i always just saw the great friendships these groups had and thought "wow i wish i had that" but with skz i just loooove seeing them happy and I am so content with just beeing a "bystander". I feel content watching them be happy, laugh and have fun and I just get so much joy out of them and for the first time in a while it didn`t feel like I was missing something. I don't know if that makes sense but yeah. They just make me genuinely happy

This is the best reaction EVER. ❤❤❤❤

You look great with the hair up with the hair jewelry paired with a red top. Great look to go out party.

Thank you so much for the laughs! They are brilliant and I can understand your reaction. When Taste was playing I was screaming wait, wait as you slid off the chair, I new what was coming and how it would effect you. Oh boy but you’re not alone. Stray Kids are wonderful and have filled a gap I didn’t know there was. They make me warm inside.

What a great way to celebrate Channie's birthday. But his birthday is Oct 3rd not tomorrow. I know this because it is the same day as my dads birthday who I lost this year. I found stray kids 3 and half years ago. before Covid hit and they open my eyes to a new world of music and entertainment. When covid hit and we were secluded for 2 years they are the ones that got me through. They gave is laughter, hope and love that I fell so hard for them. To me they are like my family, my sons or grandsons. That was the beginning of my love from a far with stray kids. This year was the real test. I was in my darkest times I have ever been in my life besides loosing my 2nd son. I lost my dad in January to cancer. If being in pain, grief and guilt wasn't enough I got covid and was not able to be a part of dads memorial. The physical pain was so intense I couldn't do much but stay in bed which cause me to develop pneumonia and ended up in the hospital. Watching just one video of stray kids or listening to their songs helped me maintain hope and sanity. There content no matter what it was, their smiles and them being so caring for fans helped me get through the dark days. They say deaths happen in 3's and to my family it did. Before January ended my step mom passed 2 weeks after my dad, and a month later my dads youngest and last brother passed way with the same cancer my dad had. My days were dark but stray kids was my light especially when I found out the were doing a world tour and going to be close to my home. I bought floor seats for me and my grand niece who is a teen. Unfortunately we didn't get to see them due the concert in our area was postponed. I am so happy the boys are healthy now and more worried for them than the concert. I felt it was an omen because BangChan's birthday was the same day as my dads. Before my dad passed away and we new he was sick he said if Stray Kids every came to our area he would pay for my tickets to go see them. My dad new I loved stray kids and wanted to make me happy even if he didn't like kpop he always gave me a thumbs up on any k-pop songs I shared on facebook. I still have hope I will get to see them. They will be my last concert ever because I am just too old to deal with crowds. I am okay with loving these boys from a far. There is not a day or hours that doesn't go bye that I am checking you tube for stray kids videos or content or reactors. I feel like a proud parent when someone reacts to them for the first time or falls in love with them even if I have nothing to do with it. LOL I have gotten all my teen grand kids into k-pop and they love stray kids. They are the only group I have bought everyone of their albums even if I give all my photos to my grand kids. I have over 800 photos on my phone of stray kids and my wall paper is stray kids. I love music all kinds of music Stray Kids is the only group I have ever fan girled over and it took me 58 years before I did. I am not sorry, I got caught trapped in their stray kids web and loving every minute of every second. Crazy I know that is me. I have went Maniac and become oddinary hahahaha.

Remember Felix crying with paper planes in concert - it’s a reference to that and we are getting ❤ planes back

I knew SKZ first from my 14 y.o daughter. She's so adoring them first and she even wrote story about how their journey before their tdebut. My daughter said that she feels so happy by seeing them, listening to their music. I told her don't get too involve with this kind of things. And their playlist showing up on my youtube account. I was curious, so I played God's Menu..and that was the beginning I'm falin' trap in their rabbit hole ahhahaa... I never stan any Kpop group. Except a couple years ago, I stan for the girl group named f(x) and Amber Liu was my bias. I'm so adoring her b'cuz her personality. She can be her self, but now I can see her personality in SKZ. their music so amazing. I used to listen Linkin Park, Avril Lavigne, Nirvana, Evanescence that kind of music. So, SKZ is really has my heart now. I'm sorry if my English is bad, I just want to share my feel about this kids. They're so amazing...thank you for your reaction. I love it...💖💖💖

skz influence every single day of my life. there is a perfect song for every mood and it usually takes days for me to figure out why I'm listening to that one song 24/7... for example: when my whole career changed and I was given a lot more responsibility and pressure, I heard chronosaurus for weeks... And only weeks later I did realize that the song reflected my current situation exactly. and on really bad days, when i feel really bad, i chill in the evening with funny clips or watch the latest episodes of chan's room and i feel better instantly. skz makes my life more beautiful and special chan saves every bad day. And I'm totally agree with the two thing you learned about SKZ. But I really learned something from you too..... You make me see life in a more positive way and I'm really thankful for this. So thank you Mel for chancing my life too. Chan's part in 3racha killed me . His accent, his outfit, his voice, his not existing shirt ☠️☠️☠️ The concept of taste is definitely killing the whole fandom. 🥵 Maybe we all will not survive maxident era. Btw. Are you ok Mel? 🤣🤣 And yes this song is sooo good. And our baby's made a really cute an hype song. I really like it too.... I love all the little snippets of the album. Can't wait to hear the full songs.

looks like You're on date with SKZ today 😉 You look pretty Mel 😍nd love the reaction 😁

Hahahaha. Girl. Every time you say it’s going to be quick reaction I chuckle quietly to myself. 😂 I’m at work and had to watch… 35.56 later! 😂😂 This is going to be an awesome comeback. 🥰

I didn't realize how lost I was until I found Stray Kids. Since graduating college 6 years ago now, I haven't utilized either of my degrees in a career, I've been in a stable relationship where I didn't need to earn money and I became the stay at home caretaker. I loved making music, but I gave up on it as a career and called it a hobby, spending years trying to figure out what else I could do with my life, what other passions I could try to cultivate or career I could hold. Then in March of this year I started getting into SKZ, and I was mesmerized by Han in particular and the way he carried himself on stage and how much fun he was having. I'd never seen a kpop idol have that much fun on stage, and I absolutely saw myself in him. So many people say Han was born to be on stage, and I agree--and honestly, I think I was born to be on stage too. Music isn't a hobby for me, its my purpose, and I'd been denying myself that joy for YEARS, justifying that it was because of money and career and stability, but really I was just scared of the struggle, and of failing. I started exercising again, I started washing my face and showering and taking care of myself, telling myself that one day I was going to meet SKZ and I needed to be my best self to do that. I think this one phrase all the time: I want to make them proud. I want to live my life in a way that if somehow we met one day, they could be proud that I call myself a Stay. I hope that one day they can hear my music and be even the slightest bit inspired in the way they inspire me and touch my heart every day. Seriously, they've given me my purpose back, and I will love them forever for that. Thanks SKZ, thanks Mel! I don't wanna be spoiled yet for the songs lol so I'll be dipping now, but I'm glad I came to read the comments and leave one of my own! AND THEY'RE COMING TO AUSTRALIA, I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU I HOPE YOU GET TO GO!!!

"I think you need to face your fears. You need to challenge yourself, too. I think that's how you break your fears. I think that's how you learn too. My advice is to just keep trying to attempt at really doing something. Or else you are always going to be nervous." - Bang Chan ❤️❤️❤️

I love and support Straykids because they makes me happy. Yes, its really one sided lol. Btw I love them because their existence makes me hopeful and happy everytime I watch them. My life was really boring and all I do is studying and it was so stressful. Whenever I watch their variety shows, it lift my mood and relieve my stress. Their performance and songs colors my boring life and make me feel different emotions. Their personality is so funny and inspirational at the same time. Lastly, all they say (specially in their vlives) and their personality help me learn about life and help me to continue my dream even its hard ( their song grow up makes me cry). Their visual is just addition lol its like I have a crush that makes me motivate in studying. It's really one sided, they really don't know us personally but I support and love them super because their existence is enough for me. I really respect them alot. I will continue to hug them even they got so big. Tho, I'm going insane how could I love 8 person equally lol.!! SUPPORT AND GET READY FOR STRAYKIDS MAXIDENT COMEBACK!! READY YOUR ACCOUNTS FOR VOTINGS OF MUSIC SHOWS AND STREAM IN YT AND SPOTIFY. REMEMBER STRAYKIDS WORK HARD FOR THIS COMEBACK!!!!

I’m glad that l’m working from home today hahah I really hope Chan/Stray Kids members to notice your channel. Because both of you and skz gave me a relaxation times. Big times!

tastes teaser had me pausing, throwing my phone, and screaming into my pillow every 10 seconds i couldn’t handle it

I'm sure the whole paperplane thing is because of the paperplane event stays did at the Seoul concert

Seriously the one-sided love that you said was top notch ✨❤

I cannot function with these guys throwing all this at me! I'm not ready for this album. 😫🔥

Stray kids are amazing talented men and I'm so thankful to them, I was in a dark depressing hole. I lost my smile but I accidentally clicked on God's menu mv one evening beginning of 2022 and listening to all their songs and watching them, I got my smile back and always excited for their new adventure shall be. Always love watching your reaction, can't wait for your reaction for when the new album comes out

You need to watch them whole performance from the concert of Taste
