Here's our reaction to SKZ Han's newest track, Maybe! :D

We love you Han.

Enjoy <3

EDIT: So we have NOT reacted to the recent SKZ Record tracks - we've been trying to stay on top of the recent releases by prioritizing them first, so the usual marathons have been put on a short pause :) We WILL, however, get back to all those as the newer releases slow down a little bit!

BUT ALSO, please let us know in the meantime what we should check out after this one from SKZ Record - 13, respirator, whatever else you think is highest of priorities, before ATE album actually drops :)

Musicians react & review ♡ SKZ - Maybe (HAN)

HAN IS NEVER EVER MAYBE Of course, we all know Han's an amazing singer. We've heard his other stuff. So, we thought we had Han figured out, but seriously, how does he blow our minds every single time!? And Dream Pop!? (Alternative Rock / Shoegaze) A genre that a lot of K-pop groups are afraid to sing. Han comes back like a breaking ball. Such an artist. PERIOD. Cannot wait for our next reaction to Han's other masterpieces. Also!

i'm so glad you guys reacted to this so soon! this song really meant a lot to me

J.A. Moore

Did I miss your reaction to his other recent solos? "13" and "1,2,3,4,5" (feat. Bae from NMIXX) are the two he released recently before "Maybe". They're both so good.

Kwestleo

Oh y'all are really staying on top of things right now. I love it. Han loves to experiment and we love when he does. Because he can't do wrong in anything really. Shoegaze? Oh wow I definitely don't know all of the genres of music. Because when I first heard it, I was like it gives me alt-Rock Vibes but also indie Vibes. when Han-C started bringing up Indie I'm like yes, thank you. I wasn't completely wrong. 😹. Respirator is definitely an amazing song that tou should check out. But I definitely think you should try to get back into reacting to them in order. Oh hey, I'm in the ending 🤗🤗🤗

Paulina Pena

I really liked this song! I listen to a lot of indie music so it was right up my alley. I definitely recommend checking out respirator! It’s also one of my favorites and the vocals are amazing!

Scarlett van Oosten

Quite a few songs from reply were skipped, was this on purpose? Like Han's 13 and seungmins Hold on, those are beautiful! For me this song the voice was a bit too soft for me to enjoy

Kwestleo

They said in the video that they aren't dont reacting to the skz-record in order they just put in on pause because SKZ is releasing a bunch of new stuff and they wanted to get to that. But i also cannot wait for them to get to 13 and long for you and hey you.

FierceGlambert

Thank you so much for reacting to this amazing song by Han 🥰 Can you please also react to his Respirator, "13" & "1,2,3,4,5" if you havent yet? 🙏💕

FierceGlambert

Sorry to comment again...but have you reacted to Han & Lee Know's "Want Do Bad" yet? If not you Definitely need to do so & you won't regret it 🥰

Fionnuala

So the person who worked with Han on this song posted on Instagram about how he had been a big fan since hellevator and was really glad to be able to work with him. Anyone want to check it out his insta is neutalmighty

Kwestleo

I also just remembered that you guys still haven't finished Kingdom week. Because you guys haven't reacted to the no easy album. I am still very much impatiently waiting for that. Because I cannot wait to see your reaction to the final episode of Kingdom week.

I have a soft spot for shoegaze/nugaze, so this one made me so happy to hear from Han. I'd vote yes for Respirator, but honestly so many of the songs from Record are so good, that it's hard to go wrong, whichever way you go.

Neen

Omg yes when I first listened it totally reminded me of Hyukoh

_nora_

I love the song! This has been the most unexpected Han Skz record so far (genre-wise). It's crazy how many Skz records Han has released, you can tell how much he loves making music and he never stops trying new things! Also when I heard the song it immediately felt familiar and nostalgic, it reminds me of 1979 by The Smashing Pumpkins. I think it might be the same guitar riff?

Olivia

Since you’re gonna be reacting to NMIXX soon, i recommend “1,2,3,4,5 ft. Bae” orrrrr Han’s “13”, another unexpected song in terms of style by him at the time (also my fav song from him of all time)

Joeydrums1

I swear Han Pop is KING. Absolutely loved your reaction and I totally went "so that's what this genre is called!" Would love for you guys to react to "Stray Kids Having Fun While Making Music" https://youtu.be/BkZrKyjBeIk?si=J_11SCBzzm4U6yO5 You get a glimpse of all the shenanigans that goes on while they record hahaha

FieeDeen 🌼👽

I want to say 13 but Respirator is so good too ..but then there's 12345 ft nmixx bae too.. and and and Han & Lee Know's Want So Bad too .. i cant choose 🥺

Heather

I’d love for you to do Respirator and 12345!

Jen

13!! 12345 is also really great and features Bae from NMIXX, but 13 has become one of my favorite HAN songs. I would also check out Bang Chan and IN “Black Hole”, you have mentioned liking Bang Chan’s different singing styles and this track is awesome for both of their vocals

EzzyMoon

also YES please do check respirator!! ㅠㅠ maybe and respirator are probably my most listened recent skz records, utterly in love with them!

Carla Midnight

Uuuh i vote for respirator too... The lyrics made me cry hahah but they are so relatable

Stacy Marie

Han-C! I remember you saying that you make the outro/background music for the videos and I've wanted to mention I think Han and you used a similar sample! He did a song with Bae from NMIXX called 1,2,3,4,5 and the opening sounds like one of the outros you made! You made yours way before Han's song came out so when I heard it for the first time, I was certain I had heard the sound before. You and Han are on the same musical wavelength 👏 Hopefully you'll know which one I'm talking about when you hear it and I'm not totally wrong here 😅

your name here

This song immediately gave 1979 by Smashing Pumpkins vibes to me. Very late 90s/early 00s chill alt rock NEUT is a member of a band or connected with a band called 손을모아 (sonlmor) from what I can find. From what he posted online about working on this song, he was in high school when Hellevator came out and has been a long time fan of SKZ, so getting to write with Han was a big moment. He has also worked with K.Will in some capacity for the album All The Way.

Handsome Sausages

OH REALLY!? Dang I just cannot wait to hear which sample was included for that song! I always get excited when my favourite artists use the same sources that I used to use XD Thank you Stacy for letting me know, I’ll be IMPATIENTLY waiting for our next Han reaction heheheheee 😏

Taylor M

Such a summer vibe for driving at dusk with the windows down and a breeze flowing around

Lari

Han is our rockstar!!! The amount of songs Han is releasing lately it's like a full solo album kkkkkkk Guuuys listen 12345 soooo addicting and there's Bae from NMIXX, the song was already amazing, she put the final touch with her vocals!

evehsu

If you guys haven’t done Han’s Miserable (You and Me) I would love to see that one too!! I think that was one of the first songs where he started using this new vocal tone you’ll hear in his recent tracks!

J.A. Moore

I read that, and I'm curious about this part of Neut's statement: "The song Ji Sung worked on with his brother......" I know Han has an older brother, but did they really work on the song together? Or am I misunderstanding what Neut means by "brother?"

EzzyMoon

he probably refers to himself here via the word dongsaeng i suppose, which gets translated as brother here since dongsaeng means younger sibling. the translation is a bit clunky and i have not gone to check out the original post on insta but a better translation would be "the song jisung worked on with this young bro/brother [that i am]" to imply he's referring to himself in comparison to jisung who's apparently older than him (so a hyung) as well as a sunbae in the industry. hope this is clear, forgive me if it’s not properly worded it's a bit late here 😅

_nora_

I checked out the original post and I'm pretty sure Neut is calling Jisung "hyung" here. He said something along the lines of "the song that I worked on with Jisungie-hyung was released on youtube". He also talked about how he's been following skz since he was in school, so it makes sense that he's younger than Han

Vale

You need to react to Hold On, this song is by Han but is singing by Seungmin and I think he collab with the lyrics I don’t remember rn BUT remember the clip you react the volcano by Han and Seungmin well it was short bc they interpret this song too, so you can have the original and this live to react

EzzyMoon

damn, that means the translation has taken quite a detour here if what is translated as brother is "hyung" because "the song i've worked on with jisung hyung" would've been such a simple way of going about it? damn, i have to check this out now lol

_nora_

yeahh the translation seems to have thought that "hyung" is referring to another person instead of a being a honorific

_nora_

Agree on this one, since Want so Bad will also be playing in the Skz Code Exchange Episodes!

EzzyMoon

yup, okay, it is indeed referring to jisung directly as "with jisung hyung" idk how the translation went sideways like that lol

EzzyMoon

okay so after someone commented to correct my supposition and after checking the original post: the translation is pretty off the mark on that one, the original refers to han as "jisung hyung" so the logical (and very simple) translation should be "the song i've worked on with jisung hyung"

sysrae

This is such a gorgeous song! The guitar and instrumentals really reminded me of late 90s/early 00s Australian alt rock, like Ben Lee and Motorace, but with very different vocals.

Nova

Man, Han. He is just soooooo freaking talented. I really think every time he releases a new song I just melt. He really tries to do something different with his voice in the genre he choses. Just wow.

Ambre

Highly recommend checking ‘Want so Bad’ by han and lee know before watching ÉXchange island ep since it’s featured there and you may miss the reference otherwise. It would be as if somebody started playing the intro of maknae on top when I.N enters the scene but you don’t know the song. You can’t catch the reference and miss on some of the fun. It’s also a bop perfect for summer xD

kerolina

this genre of hanpop is always my fav 💗 this style/tone of Han’s voice has been my favourite ever since he sang that duet (Se So Neon’s “A Long Dream” (긴꿈)) with Lee Mujin on Lee Mujin Service.

mysterious_ky

i NEED to know what the jannabi song is that plays when you mention them. never heard of them before but that little bit alone is gonna make me check out their stuff!

Pandasnopunk

Hanpop just keeps getting better and better 😍 he’s been so adventurous this year!

Katters

Smashing Pumpkins was one of my favorite bands when I was in high school and I had the same thought when I first heard this song!!!

Estelle S

I love Hanpop!! To me, Maybe feels similar to his more recent tracks like 13, 1,2,3,4,5, and Respirator with Seungmin. So maybe (heh, no pun intended) his style has changed in the last year and a half? I think listening to 13, Respirator, 1,2,3,4,5, and Love Me or Leave Me (covered by Lee Know), and Black Hole (Bang Chang & I.N) would be good! :D Or even just reacting to the Records that dropped since 2024 started! :D Edit: I also agree with the vocal making you pay attention to the lyrics. At first I wasn't sure why it was so far back, but it also has to do with the subject matter I think. He's talking about how "We're all crossing the burning world" which makes us all feel small. So even though he's far away, he's relating to us in the sense that we're all doing this thing called life on a big world.
