I just want to give you a little bit of a look into the choreography that Hyunjin made here, since everything, from the dance itself, through the song chosen, outfit chosen, tiding up his hair and even the props like mirror and the rose - all these things were his idea. Play with fire is a story about beautiful prince (everyone's been refering to Hyunjin as a "prince" since the school) who is considered as just beautiful and elegant and perfect but he has a wild animal inside and his heart is full of fire, especially while he dances. That's why he looks so messy at the end, because every person has flaws and imperfections. At the beginning when he pops and chokes himself it's his true imperfect and wild nature coming out of him, breaking through the "perfect prince shell" and at the end he's choking himself again, silencing that wild nature that can't be released and he just walks away back to his schedules and normal work, back to trying to be perfect in the society and industry that requires perfection in every aspect. It's a dance about passion that burns within him but can't be fulfilled in the way he wants. Hyunjin has an artistic soul and express himself through the art, making choregraphies, making photos or drawing, and this is his own story he wanted to tell us after four months of being silenced and hidden.

We’ve reached punchable levels, team! WE DID IT! WE MADE IT!🤝🏼

Actually this choreo is about Hyunjin going from a Prince like person to a "Monster" like since people always calls him a Prince, he wanted to show that there is another side of him to be seen and it might not look so composed

Hyunjin's dancing is mesmerizing! He expresses so much while dancing~

Teddy’s little noise of disappointment and slightly manic laugh at the end were the best things ever. Been waiting for this reaction and it didn’t disappoint!

There was too much to say in premiere. This was Hyunjin’s “comeback” after his forced hiatus. Maybe the “choking” could be a reflection of his not be able to express his feelings re that, so much open to interpretation. However, for his cover of “When the Party’s Over”; he has said it’s about the emptiness he feels after leaving a live stage or performance; after the high of STAYS energy he feels during. Rest assured all movement have purpose and definition and it shows. Completely different style and feel from this or his AOTM. So good, all of them. Thank you for reacting! ❤️🙏😇

I still remember this day, the day Hwang Hyunjin returned from a long break and came back with this choreography, everywhere you saw the legend "THE PRINCE HAS RETURNED", Hyunjin's name was a trend for days with more than 1 million tweets, the video was trending in many countries, and seeing it here again just reminds me how talented and amazing Hyunjn is.

The eyes widening. The pause. The little wave. There is so much great comedic timing in your reactions lmao.

“It’s everything about it. It’s not only stimulus for your ears, but your eyes as well.” THIS! This is what I love so much about SKZ and Kpop in general, it totally panders to my ADHD lol. This video was one of the first things that I had experienced from Stray Kids, shortly after seeing a few Kingdom performances. I was hooked from then on out. Hyunjin is a masterful performer, I never tire of watching him. I have been a dancer for over 20 years, and it’s always exciting to watch someone develop like Hyunjin has. I really enjoyed this reaction (as always) and was totally giggling with you at the end 😅

"He just dropped it low as a man, and made it look cool" The single sentence that just made my day a good one; thank you!

This was Hyunjin's return after his hiatus, I think he used this time to work on his dancing because damn he levelled up. His body control is insane now which he used to destroy Stays everywhere all around the world!!!!! lol There is another one that I can think of to a Billie Eilish song 'when the party's over'. Its very emotive and beautiful :)

THE "OH?" WHEN THE VIDEO ENDED IM CRYINGG 💀💀💀💀

When it comes to Stray Kids - everything has to be looked at, especially with Hyunjin's mesmerizing aura. Something about him, You really can't help but stare. you should check out their Relay dance videos... so fun!!

it’s okay if you didn’t know the song, it wasn’t that popular until hyunjin covered it, it even started charting because of him. it was his first “comeback” after his hiatus and it was epic

This is the performance that got me into Hyunjin and stray kids. His talent and visual are so out-of-this-world.

The tagline for Stray Kids: "Everything needs to be looked at." is a true statement Teddy for real. Look all their music videos, songs, visuals, personalities... everything.

I'm delighted by Hyunjin's body control over the beat. You can tell he is one with the beat, with the music, and always tells you a story with it.

Hhhh this is the best reaction I've ever seen for this choreo 😂 you make me laugh so hard Teddy, thank you for being who you are. Every time, watching your reactions is a blessing moment. I got into stray kids as a crew because of thunderous first, but then, after watching Hyunjin's dance videos, I wanted to know who the F are these guys hhhhh that's how I felt in love with them literally.

‘Awww’ you just vocalized how everyone feels when it’s over.

“DAWN”, LeeKnows skz player and “when the party’s over” dance cover by Hyunjin are both this interpretative kind of dance videos if you wanna react to more things like this :)

I've seen a lot of discussion on this particular video and most of it does come down to Hyunjin expressing duality. The uptight Prince constrained by duty and propriety vs the Freedom of the Dancer who wants the excitement of doing what he wants. Being daring and "playing with fire". It's expressed in things you don't even notice such as Hyunjin's shirt coming more untucked and open as the song progresses only to be buttoned again at the end as he is "choked" by the expectations of his role. Hyunjin thinks deep when he choreographs a performance for himself and you'll spend time finding all of his layers. But it's always worth it. And the fact that dance is only One of his Many, Stunning talents is Insane!! Have you seen the man Paint?!! UGH!! He is Def a modern Renaissance man. ❤️❤️❤️

Hyunjin speaks everything with his dance. It is a vocabulary he knows well.. He speaks body language perfectly. Evaeryone are able to connect with his ideas (even people who do not know anything about dance) . He is a genius 'cause he is a giver. He do not hide anything when he dances.

I've come to the conclusion that I am dedicated to watching a 28 yr old stay fan boy over 8 Korean men. Teddy I love when u break down EVERYTHING, i feel like I'm learning 😌

He's such a powerhouse of dance 🔥 just searched it up and can't believe you've not done silent cry yet!! The lyrics are incredible and the choreo is insane 🤯

I notice that in Stray kids choreography too, they use a lot of small movements that seem to fit perfectly along to the beat of the song. Hyunjin doing those very controlled movements at the beginning of the dance is an example of a popping style where each gesture looks jerky or stiff like your popping something into place. It's usually done to the beat of the music so having that visual connection to the instrumental makes those beats more satisfying since it syncs so well. To be honest it's that kind of technique of dancing that makes me want to take up dance, it must feel so great moving along to music that way, of course it's also exhausting.

"That's how fire operates......Operates? Who the fuck OPERATES FIRE. That's what fire does, you know, it dances, it- it wiggles around. What am I even sayin'?! Fire WIGGLES around?! Yeah COOL." I cried laughing, I relate SO HARD 😂 Shit just kinda comes outta my mouth sometimes.

What I love about this piece is it has a real narrative about Hyunjin's journey from being the prince to being knocked down and silenced. This song was him breaking free and telling his story through dance. In the B&W part it was him being knocked down or burned up. But the real beauty is you can see how he doesn't just dance to the beat like most dancers, he dances to the different little sounds in a song. He hears the music differently than most. He has another performance When the Party is Over. It is another one where you see how he dances with emotion and will make you like the song even if it isn't your style because he is telling his story of how he feels when he leaves the stage and can't perform for Stays.

3 words SKZ RELAY DANCES. They are the best and so funny.

TEDDY YOU SHOULD MOST DEFINITELY REACT TO SOME OF THEIR RECENT RELAY DANCE VIDEOS! Changbin is genuinely so funny during them (if you need some convincing to react to more choreography)

The fact he got a degree in Practical Dance from the School of Performing Arts in Seoul definitely shows in his choreography!! I love your reactions; it feels like I'm watching with a friend. ^_^

"You can't not look" 😂 Please react to SLUMP soon 🙏❤

please also react to his choreography to "when the party's over", everyone can dance teddy, its never too late to try! wish you luck

That noise u made at the end had me in stitches laughing then you started laughing yourself about it lol love it 😂

Teddy, your laugh at 12:46 sounded exactly like Lee Know's laugh!

hahahah that reaction when the video ended 😭😭 thank you for this video teddy!!

I really appreciate this reaction! At first, when I first saw this performance, I was confused as well bc of the effect where the music and colour fades and only the crackling of fire is heard, but then well, he dances about how he likes to play with fire, and people who play with fire get burned. I loooove how he drags his leg, how he crawls across the ground, just barely escaping the flames and making it back up, laughing and slightly manic. He is an artist through and through

commenting old videos is my secret hobby but dancing is always been very interesting to watch. Even if I don't know how to do it myself, dancing expresses so much the music and brings the whole visual aspect to it. In my mind music and dancing always go together and tell the story together.

i can’t believe u reacted to this i dead as choked on my cup of tea in excitement i can’t lie

Love this reaction, fire wiggles around...and the noise toward the end you made and your reaction to it, had me laughing tears 🤣😂🤣For anyone that knows "Howl's moving castle", I had an image stuck in my brain of calcifer doing a little jiggle ❤‍🔥🥰❤‍🔥🥰❤‍🔥

Fire WIGGLES 😂😂 Love it. Had to rewatch since the live chat was so crazy lol. This community is seriously amazing.

This was a gift for stays after he was pulled from kingdom and forced to step away for months

There is a story behind this performance that he has never been allowed to tell

This is basically Hyunjin dismantling his “prince” title. Since he has a pretty face, others often disregard his hard work and talent. Throughout the video, we barely ever see his full face, and when we do it’s always obscured by the shadows or his hair, or it’s a reflection in the mirror. At the beginning he started with this “princely” getup, then we see him throwing his cape away, and his shirt buttons come loose. Bit by bit, he unravels that “prince” persona and forces you to see him only as Hyunjin. He forces you to disregard the beauty of his face and instead focus on the beauty of his performance and artistic intent. He truly is one of a kind.

Next to react to is Lee Know’s Dawn and Hyunjin’s When The Party’s Over, they are just brilliant…. plus Bang Chan gets his wiggle on in My House… that is one definitely not to be missed!

Check out some of Hyunjin’s practice rooms - he will often do freestyle choreo as well as from stray kids - his free styles can hit hard-

aaaa i love your reaction ❤you truly replay my every single emotion during watching this video before,i feel like i m first time to see this marvel again with you 😢😢😢btw hyunjin is a genius artist!!

just amazzzzing love u !!!! hyunjin’s talent is out of this world

Hyunjin es unico es arte,belleza 😍❤

Hi Teddy! Have been watching your reactions for quite a while this year, thank you for doing them! Wanted to tell you that it's never too late to start dancing, like in my case for example: I, myself, have started dancing only at the beginning of this year as 24 year old (soon will be 25) and let me tell you that even though I never danced like this properly before but because of kpop I wanted to try it out so badly that now, after a year, I feel more confident in my moves and I only want to try out more and even perform. Please, do not take it like that you immediatly should do it, but as an example that it's never too late to try out anything~ Looking forward to your new reactions, much love~!

at the start they way the hand movements 'pop' to the point it looks like stop motion. hypnotising.

React to danceracha "wow" performance you definitely won't regret it. It changed my life for the better.

Teddy, if you're still interested on knowing more of each skz individually, i personally think you should check some of the covers done by vocalracha in the skz-record (wich im not sure are going to be on the skz-replay album cuz they're covers). Ik you're more interested on rap but those are great to apreciate their voice potential, specially IN's, who may surprise you. I'd recommend Jeongin's cover of Memory of your scent, his voice really shines in that one ✨

After u react to this then u really have to react to his first skz player ( when the party is over by Billie eilish ) it’s also choreographed by him and trust me this dance cover is over beyond amazing 😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

He is too amazing to watch you don’t want it to end. So expressive and powerful.

On another video you mentioned wanting to know if Han has any solo music. He has a song called 'close' which is kind of uplifting and shows a bit more of his singing side as well as rap.

the popping at the beginning gets everyone, every single fckiing time. I was waiting for the reaction & I'm not disappointed. not at all, sir. hahahaha...

That would be such a fun video to watch if you tried one of Stray Kids Choreo and danced to it as a challenge. As always I really enjoy your reaction.

Oh I was waiting for this reaction!!! I swear the first time I saw this video I dont think I blinked once! This man is something else 😍😍

That is "The Prince of 4th generation" for you :)

not even 30 seconds into the video and man noped out XD

Next, sir Teddy,go react to their songs,Levanter...you can stay... neverending story.....waiting for us.,..secret secret..,..Scars and slumps first take❣️❣️❣️ These SKZ songs are one of a kind🙏🙏💖💖💖you won't regret it 👍👍👍 thank you!!!

its not just about listening to music and dance in great way , hyunjin live in music he make it artistic , he drow the moves and color it in his style gosh he is perfect every single move of him is art , not just amazing popping

I acutely laughed at the same time as you. Ahh you disappointed it ended 😄. Thanks for reacting 👏👏

Hyunjin is my bias from stray kids he's multi-talented as well as a great human being

I feel you😊🙏 Great reaction

Awww teddy's little ohhh😩 at the end i feel that disappointment at the end of this video. Hyunjin and his dance is incredible his body pops and rolls with the beat and tempo of the music he hits every time i'm in awe 😍

It's just art itself.

Here here!! Been following you since day 1: Freeze. Such amazing journey.

Damn, I love your reactions so much! Every time you breaking a song or a dance into pieces and explaining the sense (as you understand it) and hidden details, it provokes me to analyse more and look on it from different perspective, it’s amazing! Thank you so much💓

Lol I've been waiting for this reaction , the intro began and he said bye mate 😂😂

😂20 seconds in to the dance cover Teddy : ✋! see ya later bro! seEEE Yuh LatER BRO!!

About what you were talking about around 10 min in, the fun part is that as you watch more and more content of the individual members- you realize they all have talents that make you feel that way

The dance performance to Taste. Highly recommend 👌

That sound. I totally understand ... and yes. Do it on your own time. Do it for you. 🤩

LOL THE OPENING POPPING GETS EVERYONE

tedddyyyyyy it's been almost a year now that you are a Stay and stanning stray kids yeaaahhh

Yes! Watch his dance cover of Billie Eillish When The Party's Over! It's so good

That oh in the end was like it's over? Oh. 💀

Amo esta danza de hyunjin

One of their comebacks I recommend you listen to is Levanter, it has a pop rock sound and is more vocally driven but it's still really good.

i'm almost sobbing every time i see this, it has so much power and so much feeling from nowhere bro I just get goosebumps every time

I missed the lives today, but happy to see these

ooo your reaction at the end of the dance was perfect

This is everything I’ve been waiting for 🥹. Fun fact I learned recently- the point you talked about when he drops down low to the ground and gives that creepy smile, he also does something similar in the Motley Crew performance. He calls it his “psycho smile” and thinks of the facial expression on its own as a dance move. *Side note, one of his all time fave villains is the Joker, which makes the “you got me like Harley” line hit a bit more for me, but I’m also pretty biased since I’m a Harley Quinn cosplayer 😅♦️♦️♦️

BARELY 10 seconds when the beat starts & you ‘left’...Me: 😆...💜

Glad you liked this, as I was stunned with his amazing talent and artistic expression. A dancer doesn't hear the music , we feel the music from the heart. Thanks Teddy, more Straykids yeah !,,,💞

Your reactions are everything

everything needs to be looked at INDEED

Watches Hyunjin "I've never made that noise before"... same 🤣

Bravo. No puedo creer pensé que hace mucho lo habías analizado ...es una genialidad este video

Teddy, Tayna just posted a freestyle on her insta, you know what I'm expecting now 😌

I didn't mean to brag but Hyunjin is waaaaaaaay cooler and prettier in real life. Hope skz world tour goes to Europe so you can watch them live!

“Everything needs to be looked at” its ironic that you said that. Because the new song of TopLine there is a line where Felix says. “Your neck must be stiff from only looking up” 😂

Me encanta este chico. Thank you for reacting to Skz together and each member, without a doubt they are amazing both together and separately. I like you great, greetings from Gran Canaria (Spain) 🇮🇨🇪🇦

I STOPPED WORK JUST TO WATCH THIS VIDEO

He is such a talented dancer

Me: “Hello Hunjin….my name is ‘fire’….I like the smell of gasoline too!” *strikes a match.

I think he chose this song because it has elements of fire and flowers. We already know that he has been slandered with nonsense stories and went through days of hiatus alone. The "FIRE" of evil is everywhere and he will not give in but rise up giving them FLOWERS as a symbol of love. But they (the enemy) must understand that he is still the king and at the end of the mv he seems to show who is really desperate, him or them.

My bias hyunjin 🔥🔥🔥💅

I anticipated your ughhh!
