3RD EYE IS TOP NOTCH. THIS IS MY TOP 2 FAVE SONG NEXT TO PLACEBO/GROW UP

OtterOttern

I'm so excited to watch this and I can't wait to scream about 3rd Eye!!!!

ellie:)<3

3RD EYE LETS GOOO! i straight up levitated the first time i heard both 3RD EYE and Maze Of Memories

stayalexa

Omg I was exited for you to react to 3rd eye

Hayy

Placebo, Behind the light, For you, Broken Compass, and Hoodie Season are all a part of their mixtapes but they were originally 3racha's songs.

imasloth

Yayy 0325 is one of my favourite songs, it actually combines the intros (that weren't re recorded) from all three I am not/who/you albums and adds parts from each into the song

stayalexa

The way I need you to already listen to the newer Hanpop lol. Or watched Song by, or 2 Kids Show. I never ask because I don’t want to be annoying, but I truly believe that stays are really here for the music

stayalexa

Maze of memories IS CRAZYYYYYYYUYU

yaya

talking about how much we love theire music and lyrics 19,3rd eye and maze of memories lyrics as well as some han solo song lyrics are all on my tattoo list and I'm really glad yo guys enjoyed the songs so much

Maria Shoe

When Third Eye was released it was my fave Skz song....as a huge Massive Attack fan, it got me so hard. And ya, Awaken could easily have been a title track . If there is any track on here that you guys should watch a stage performance of, it should be 3rd Eye. And the First Take of Scars is incredible . Thanks for the Monday gift ladies xx

I will never understand the people who stan a group just purely on looks. For me if I am stanning a group I need to be able to resonate with them and their music. Sure, they are very attractive individuals, but at the end of the day, like you girls said, it is the MUSIC that matters. Also, as you girls mentioned, their music is indeed very diverse and encompasses many genres, where you can at least like a few songs if you're not a fan of them. I am so excited for when you girls get to their SKZ-Replay songs, SKZ-RECORDs, SONG by, Two Kids Show, OST's, collabs, 3RACHA music, and all the other music/covers both on albums and not!!

lucie

3racha performed maze of memories at kcon and my life has never been the same since i saw that performance and that cb97.. i LOVE that song. 3rd eye is one of the rare songs for me that i love the song and the feelings it gives me so much that i want them to be special and reserved only for me. its like a treasure to me ah i love these guys so much!!! thank you for the great time 🤍

♪ anna!!

i was literally so excited for 3rd eye reactions its an out of body experience bro

Dina Baybez

I became a Stay because of Felix's voice. I was just so intrigued how his voice was the complete opposite of his looks. I loved Gods menu and fell for their discography. I never even noticed Skz visuals I just purely loved their music. I fell for Chans personality LMAO and within a year my type completely changed. From 40 year old men to men in their 20's. That still makes me cackle. Skz mean so much to me because their love languages are so similar to mine and their personalities. I don't get how you bias someone purely because of their visuals, especially when you don't know about their personalities or like their music.

Lyza

I was literally waiting for you guys reaction to 3rd Eye and Maze of memories and you guys did not disappoint!!!! im so happy that you enjoyed this album cannot wait for another reaction besties Love y’all stay safe and take care🩷💚

Ivanna

I'm kinda lost. Why do you hate JYP (the man) so much? like I'm not against it (the hate), I just want to know why you guys do. Like I know there is a collective hate, I've just never been sure if there is a specific reason, or if it's just the general HIM. Am i making sense?

Ivanna

Also, off topic, I really love your reactions, even if you start speaking dutch I just kinda vibe with it (I don't understand a single thing)

Ivanna

You haven't listen to their whole discography yet and you still got their unreleased/unofficial things. Good luck and I'm looking forward to it all.

Simo

They are just music professionals genius group of people Even the members who joined producing their songs are crazy good like masterpieces insane 😣😣

lia

i swear i don't know why it feels like awaken is the most unknown stray kids song that song is fire

Kiki Meowzilla

As others mentioned the Mixtapes were re-recorded as OT8 and renamed because parts were rewritten as well. All the mixtapes were written by all the members, when they became OT8 they had to rewrite sections and remove WJs lyrics and with that came renaming the songs. Like Mixtape #2 became Behind the Light. If you recall from your reaction to Mixtape #4 (Broken Compass) there is a line from Felix when he says "Stray Kids 9 or none, we're gonna cross the finish line" I think it was Ozlem who commented on that detail. Well in the OT8 release the lyrics became "Stray Kids, Stay or none, we're gonna cross the finish line". So details like that were changed as well. I am so excited for you all to check out performances of all these songs and may I suggest the District 9 unlock Tour as a way to react to performances from this era https://ok.ru/video/6649190681150 Can't wait for you to discover the rest of their discography and I am prepping for the SKZ Replay album and the SKZ record/players. Thanks again and love the mic decorations <3

lia

having a song like 3rd eye on your debut album is so fucking craszy i love stray kids

rara

ik u aren’t asking for my opinion, but the reason for the shared hatred is that he has done a lot of questionable things, which makes it hard to pinpoint what he has specifically done. in the best way i can help, u can check out this reddit link and see several explanations on why ppl reasonably just don’t like him: https://www.reddit.com/r/kpophelp/comments/10sbuqd/why_is_jyp_hated/

Ivanna

That actually helped me a lot, thank you.

;

Their specific hatred came from his treatment of their ult group, GOT7. They have explained it in some of these videos, but I’d struggle to remember which ones exactly. My specific hatred is from his treatment of Chris thru his trainiee days. A pre-teen/teen contemplating ending it all under his eye says A LOT to me. That alone tells me all I need to know about that horrible man. But I can continue with even more things that disgust me… You also have his treatment of all the boys as trainees pre-debut and on the survival show. Using them as pawns for dramatics and ratings thru destroying them emotionally and terrorizing them with fears that they wouldn’t make it or weren’t good enough?? Sorry, but that man can fuck all the way off. To this day he inserts himself in every way he can to leech attention off of the idols at JYP (dance challenges, showing up at their big events, trying to be seen on camera with them when there’s no reasoning behind it, etc). Not to mention how he comes off CREEPY AS HELL being inappropriate or too touchy with the young female idols at JYP. Then another one for me is his bragging about his charitable work. If you have to brag or make whole ass productions that star you in it while you also make your idols be on with you (so there will be more interest/attention), is it because you are truly a charitable and humble man, or is it for the attention and ego? Sorry, but it’s the latter. He does it to whitewash his image to make himself seem like this “amazing good guy.” He’s just not a good person, end of story.

Ivanna

Yeah, makes sense. Completely agree. He did always seemed kind of creepy.

TeeEss

yeah... I just love stray kids and sometimes I am like oh here's another song I really love but I literally love it all... sometimes I am like, am I just being biased? no... lol it's the appreciation of all the effort and hard work that goes into their songs and they all just sound so good to me maybe I am biased lol

Nili

I love the way you both appreciate SKZs music so much. I feel so happy watching your reactions. It's like i get to experience their music for the first time with you.

;

SKZ 2020 and SKZ 2021 both have songs from the same OT9 albums (so, for example, there are songs from an OT9 album like I Am Not that are on both SKZ 2020 [District 9, Mirror, Grow Up] & 2021 [Awaken, ROCK, 3rd Eye, Placebo] if that makes sense). The songs on both SKZ 2020 & 2021 are then in chronological order of release date & album order so that is why song order can be so jarring - For You -> Maze of Memories for example. As for the division of songs between the albums, I first and foremost think there are 2 albums bc that is a SHIT TON of songs to rearrange distribution, change lyrics and rerecord you know? So they divided it up. I have an educated guess on another reason for the division, as I haven't heard them speak on why, but if they have, someone please correct me. It seems, to me, that 2020 is all the title tracks and songs with full production music videos (I assume YAYAYA is included bc of the busking performance on the survival show, and Question and Boxer were possibly the most popular street videos at the time). I think bc the thought was that these songs are the "more popular" songs they wanted to get them out a little quicker. 2021 then contains all the Mixtape songs, songs with no m/V's or only street version videos. I'd assume these were thought to be the "less popular" songs. So song order wasn't really "chosen by them" or randomized - it's just chronological order.

Thuuuuuuu

3rd eye is literally in my top 3 as well,, it is a MASTERPIECE

Mélodie

It’s funny you said third eye was calming, for me i often find it kinda oppressive and that’s why i don’t listen to it much, i have to be in a certain mood to enjoy it. Maybe that’s why stays don’t really talk about this song, if they feel about it the same way as i do

Nettles

3RD EYE IS A MASTERPIECE, it's in my top 3 with Voices and Slump. I always close my eyes and feel like I'm floating in a green mist for some reason, it's very cloying but in the best way. It makes me so sad no one ever talks about Awaken, the wake up part is such an ear worm for me, the grittt. Don't even get me started on Maze of Memories, I love these songs so much

Jennn

Love that you girls are talking about it, at the end of the day is about their music the fact that they have an amazing bond, are the most amazing and humble human beings and are extra fine😮‍💨 are just extras that we as stays are lucky to have , but their dream was to make music and help people with it, which is why you both are my comfort reactors for the kids, I’ve watched your videos in loop even when i’m cleaning or working lol, please don’t stop reminding this because it is a conversation that everyone in the fandom should have and be aware of. Pd: I never request songs for you girls to react because I love when you get surprise as happened with TOP, STOP and now 3rd eye which are my favvvvv and I became stay at the same time as you and was another victim of Mountain🤭, so keep doing it the way you are doing it🩷💚, you both ara amazinggg human being as well, sending both a lot of kisses from this Salvadorean Stay🇸🇻

Karitia

i enjoyed your reaction sm!! you're so right when you say they have a CATALOGUE bc there's so many genre to please everyone. when i heard god's menu for the first time i was so intrigued on how the song would be bc i only heard felix's part and i was so shocked lol. they introduced me to so many new ways of "constructing" music combined with meaningful lyrics as nowadays it's really hard to get both. and yeah i dont get it either how you can choose a bias or even stan a group solely based on looks or popularity..

Demi Idle

3RE EYE MY BELOVED <3 to me 3rd Eye and DLMLU (Japanese album THE SOUND 2023 )are sisters. Funfact! WhenChan and Changbin were recording the distorted "Don't close your eyes! Don't do it!" in the dorm room Lee Know thought they were genuenly fighting over something and got so worried ;w; Whenever/if eve ya decide to dip into 3RACHA's discography, ya might be happy to hear Placebo, For You, Broken Compass and Hoodie Season were originally 3RACHA tracks and are still available on 3RACHA's official YT and soundcloud :) THANK YOU FOR YOUR WONDERFUL REACTION, STAY HEALTHY, DRINK WATER, USE SUNCREAM <3

bruno

3rd eye is literally my favorite song from them. listening to it for the first time when i was a baby stay was a true transcending moment for sure. every single detail about it is pure perfection...

Bluelilac

I'm so happy you guys have reached the point of experience 3rd Eye...one of my favourite SKZ songs. You have to [in reaction or your own time] watch a live performance of 3rd eye

Fatima Bah

48:50 I do have a Stray Kids best songs playlist and it has 96 songs. The list keeps on growing 😂

Bluelilac

1:21:28 You guys are saying a WORD. I'm on Stay twt and I constantly try to remind people of this. Shut up about all the miscellaneous negativity on here that has no real relevance to SKZ and why we became fans in the first place. [Though I've come to realise some people have more shallow reasons]. Me - I heard Gods Menu in 2020 and was legitimately OBSESSED. You don't know me but I don't talk to people that much unless I'm really close to you. I went to work the next day [was working few days in office] and showed the song to everyone asking them how they never told me kpop was this good :) lol. Then I started going into the discography and I continued to be amazed. The music amazed me then and continues to do so now. I enjoy everything else. Their personalities, connection with fans, humour, pretty faces lol, seeing them enjoy success, meeting good people in the fandom [ignoring the not so good ones] - but at the end and beginning of the day I'm here because Stray Kids makes music I love. Music I vibe to, dance to, laugh to, cry to, vent my anger to.

Differently Alike

Bestie we did listen to Placebo during our time2stray series🥲 that’s why we skip some songs cause we reacted to them already!

Bluelilac

1:56:38 The running theory [and I think there is some evidence to back it up] is that SKZ were able to self-produce from the jump because the company at that time viewed them as an experiment. They had Chan, who a lot of people in the company believed in, and they tried to place him in other groups but it never quite fit. While they were figuring what to do with him he fell in love with producing, met Han and Changbin, formed 3racha, and all of a sudden JYPE saw a sudden path, a fairly unique marketing angle for the company and kpop - a fully self-written and mostly-self-produced group, with a leader who had a lot of training under his belt. They put everything on his [their] shoulders, concept - name - song production etc. Honestly, by what seems to have even been the standards at that time, they didn't invest all that much into them cause this could easily fail. Fortunately for SKZ, Stays and the company, 3RACHA are actually music geniuses, Chan is an amazing leader, all of SKZ are talented, hard working musicians and dancers committed to their craft and the group - so success would be slow but inevitable. They just needed a breakthrough, something to wake up the wider audience. That was Gods Menu and they have not looked back since. I'm forever grateful they persevered and thankful to those early fans who stood by them so I could discover them 6 years ago

Adriana

Can someone tell me If they reacted to N/S in this video? Because I think I am missing it.

moreta505

They reacted to the street version mv when they did their initial time to stray series. Day 5 I think.

moreta505

I had a similar experience falling in love with their music. I kept getting so surprised/delighted/amazed (pick your adjective really) at every new song I heard. Their personalities are amazing and I've loved learning about them as people - and honestly their bond as a group has been really healing to see - but the music keeps me staying.

K E

Lol I hadn't heard that story about the 3rd Eye recording - do you remember where he said that?

Giorgia

besties i know that you don’t listen to ot9 songs but of the old albums Hero’s soup, Glow, School life and 4419 are the only songs that have not been re-recorded and it’s a shame bc they’re so beautiful. Especially 4419 for me is so important bc it was the number of the bus channie and GOT7's bambam used to take in their trainee days and then channie wrote the song for him :((( and then became the date of their first ever win (with miroh!) Also hoodie season was originally a 3racha song that they made ot8!!

ann

3rd eye is so painful, as much as i love it i just can't listen to it a lot, the despair in the lyrics and their voices is too much for me, i always end up crying

ana

3rd eye has to be one of the best songs in stray kids’s whole discography and it is actually my fav song from them (followed by who?, which you guys won’t react bcz it doesn’t have an ot8 version, and secret secret). I really wish they did something else with that vibe but we can’t get everything, can we?

ana

also, who? is an intro for the I am who album so is super super short but I love the vocals and just the way everything sounds, it kinda reminds me of 3rd eye even tho it’s totally different

Ocean

hi guys!!!! wanted to drop in the comments to let you know i really enjoyed this reaction!!!!! my fav songs are in this album (3rd eye and 0325) so i was dying to see how you guys would like it!!!! i’m so glad yall liked 3rd eye … you guys are so right it’s so underrated it’s literally their best song.. if they ever release anything similar to that level of experimentation it’ll be over for us…

Ocean

seconding hero’s soup…. still waiting for them to release an ot8 version to this day…

Ocean

also i dont know if anyone has already mentioned this but 0325 is a mashup of 3? i think intro songs from their first 3 eps!!! its really fun to listen to them in those versions and then coming back to this completed one!! it’s sooo satisfying

SaulenaReactionNerd

You guys are literally me this whole video. Also 3rd eye is my fav skz song ever. No joke.

Millie b

Awaken and 3rd eye are my CHILDREN theyre actually so good i cant even

Lou

LOVE SKZ 2021!!! I had so much thoughts i wanted to say while you were speaking on the whole SKZ music vs content tangent but i think you already explained everything and i love that you remind people here and there 🗣️ ALSO, i think we like all their songs because we really do be getting the plot… it’s just that there are songs we listen to more than others… AND i think people who say a song is bad maybe just doesn’t have the brain power to understand the difference between objectivity and preference 🤔 Love the reaction as always!! So excited for you to get into more of their music 🩷💚

Ayvi Dyan

The Stray Kids hate doesn’t make sense. Say it louder!! Their discography is so diverse that you can literally find genres that you would love yet here they are saying SKZ makes bad music when they only heard one or two. I love Stray Kids so much & the fact that these songs are written and produced by them with little help with other producers just tells us how fucking amazing they are!! People just wanted to ride that hate train. Thank you for always showing your love to the boys, and thank you for being fangirls cause I need to have fangirls in my life that I can relate with. As always I enjoyed listening to SKZ music with you two. 💚🩷

aicrylic

finally getting around to sitting down and watching all your skz uploads since getting back from nyc for dominate tour and yeah. so. YOUR REACTION TO 3RD EYE IS SO VALID. imagine being me in 2018 and that being the first skz song i ever listened to based on just seeing some random tweet about it. that song seriously changed my life. it blows my mind how skz literally had the balls to release that as rookies bc it is so unconventional. love it so much. my top skz song of all time. i love 3rd eye lovers
