Musicians react & review ♡ SKZ - Human (HAN)

A SEQUEL TO ALIEN?! Oh this is a great day for all. We've been jokingly saying that while 'Alien' has depth to its meaning, Han is still an Alien when it comes to his skills. Well, he still is one in 'Human'. Starting things off with the identical narration we've heard from Alien, the song quickly proves to be a fitting departure from its prequel in both the style and the sound. Not only has he grown over time, but he has also found his 'place' and 'peace' in whatever situation he is in. Lots of lyrics to go over, as well as themes, sounds, and much more. We love you Han, and we wish you the best. And happy belated birthday!

One HanPop lover is present 👋🏾. This song is so beautiful. I love it so much. And the fact that he gave it to us for his birthday 🥹. It definitely felt like 2000's hiphop. I have heard exactly one Jay Park song and I don't think there's any comparison in tone 🤣. To be fair, the one song of his that I've heard is called McNasty 😹. Ooooo, yes the B.O.B. and bruno mars song definitely i can hear. It is the same narration from alien. And that was the first thing that I noticed. I actually didn't know that they were direct quotes from movies. Oh my gosh, I remember the quote from Ratatouille. I don't remember the one from zootopia. But I have only watched zootopia maybe once. It was a great movie though. Lol hanverse. It's definitely vulnerable but empowering for sure. Oh yay. The english translation was good. That's good to know.

After everything Han went through this song really hits different and it makes me emotional everytime I listen to this song. I’m always proud of or alien 🥹🩵

Han said on his Birthday with STAYs that Alien is a song that he wants to say himself, but Human is a song he wants to share with stay. Hen wanted to express how thankful and greatful he is to stay.

In "Human" Han is in a much better place than when he wrote "Alien." So this is definitely a sequel. That's why there's a sample from "Alien" at the beginning. He's reminding us where he USED to be and letting us know he's much happier now because of the support he received. Han has reached a level of understanding about himself and everything / everyone around him. He knows who he can safely lean on and count on. It's beautiful, and when I first listened to "Human," I cried because I was so happy for him.

I've listened to Human basically every day since it was released. There's something about it that's chill, sad and uplifting. I can't put a finger on why it's so special to me, but I adore it.

i love love LOVE the immediate epik high comparison (for lack of a better word), i said the same thing when i heard it too. every time i think han can't outdo himself with the next hanpop track, he surprises me

Human is absolutely related to Alien, but I'd argue that both songs are the first and last parts of a triptych that has Volcano in the middle, as there are not only lyrical callbacks that go across all three songs, but a clear thematic progression in each case, with Han moving from darkness into light. This becomes most obvious when you put the relevant sections side by side: - Alien: [I'm] a loner full of scars - Volcano: the scars of the wounds that covered my heart / as if only you could notice them - Human: when my skin became thick and numb from all the stabbing / up until the point I couldn't take it any more / you saved me as you hugged me tight - Alien: [I'm] falling down, I'm an alien on this earth - Volcano: you grabbed me when I was falling fly again / my falling days were sorrow - Human: you never let me fall down / I know / grateful that you're the big wall that I can lean on in this world - Alien: my tears build up when the night turns black - Volcano: even the dark night / doesn't scare me if I'm with you - Human: the tears I've swallowed came pouring down... / this song is for you, who never left my side through the countless days and nights - Alien: I'm just lonely, somebody reach out and hold me - Volcano: you were so warm when you hugged me tight - Human: you saved me as you hugged me tight - Alien: if it collapses, everything will be ruined, even our dreams - Volcano: it's okay if everything burns down / even if I go back hundreds of times, my choice is always / you - Human: a road with pins and nails all over / we managed to walk through with clenched teeth, and our footsteps turned into a red carpet Alien is about Han feeling like an outsider, depressed and lonely and misunderstood. Volcano is about him coming to love someone who lifts him up out of that darkness, so that he wants to be brave for that person; he's still afraid that everything will come crashing down, but he's determined to choose them anyway, no matter the consequences. And then, in Human, he's saying they passed through all those difficulties together, and even if worse comes, they have each other. And it really makes me feel some kind of way! On a completely unrelated note, am I right in thinking you still haven't seen the full 2 Kids Show episode where Han and Lee Know are interviewed by Changbin and then perform Want So Bad together? My memory is that you did the 2 Kids Show performance of Volcano with Seungmin and Han, but I don't think you watched the rest of those episodes - or if you have, I can't now find them. But that one in particular I think is interesting!

New member here!! Thank you for reacting to this song🫶🏻🫶🏻 one of my favorite 🤩

Handsome Sausages

Oh what an amazing read. Thank you for this!! That was awesome. And yes, you're right! We've only checked out the Volcano performance from the show and that's it. We'll be getting to the show fairly soon so we will be able to get to it in a couple weeks max! :D

Handsome Sausages

It's very true that he has now matured to not only understand but to embrace! A wonderful sequel indeed that makes everyone happy!

Sausages - Don't forget the second performance (of the song, Hold On) from that same Han/Seungmin episode of 2 Kids Show.

Something about Alien/Human and your talking about it made me think of the infinity sign. Or Ying/Yang. A bit bipolar even. Like I don't think we (as a species) can really appreciate one without the other. And because of that, neither are less than/more than. We just Are. And I love that. I love how HAN expresses it. He's truly come full circle. Same as SKZ can't exist without STAY, STAY can't exist without SKZ. And here WE are, happily Sausaged within their... egg? (omg it really is the chicken and the egg debate all over again from Human Idol Theatre)

Tristana Keauna

you're right. it just isn't complete without I.N being all Daddy Toast lol. SKZ is a perfectly balanced breakfast lol
