Musicians react & analyze ♡ SKZ - Seungmin's Goodbye

Seungmin’s “Goodbye” Wasn’t What We Expected on a Thursday Morning “Goodbye” was such a beautiful song — beautiful vocals, beautiful arrangement, beautiful animation, just beautiful all around. The fact that it was made by Bangchan, and that he specifically wanted Seungmin to sing it, hit differently for us. And knowing that Seungmin put in so much effort, even re-recording it during the tour, makes the song that much more meaningful. Thank you, Seungmin, Bangchan, and Versa Choi, for this incredible piece. We’ll definitely be back after checking out the new 2 Kids Room episode!

Also, Hannah talked about it on her live.

I feel like the seven lights are the members. The one that moves to shine on him might be his parent and their love/support?

Yes! It was so beautiful.

Copying and pasting Chan's mom's letter below: Listening to the song coming through the phone, I was so moved by your warm heart as it gently comforted the wounds in this mother’s heart. I couldn’t hold back my tears, grateful to Seungmin for singing so emotionally on behalf of our family 🌸 “Mom, I’m hungry” “Mom, I’m off to school!” “Mom, I had so much fun with my friends today” Mom, mom, mom… “Chan, it’s time for school, wake up” “Chan, come eat” “How was school today? How were your friends?” Chan, Chan, Chan… Even those ordinary daily conversations were a luxury we couldn’t afford 🌸 After sending you away, I cried every night. Did we do the right thing by letting you go? Was it a mistake? Are you eating well? Are you sick? I repeated the same questions every single day 🌸 When I saw your debut, when I saw you smiling and happy, I tried to let go of the weight of being a “bad mom.” But still, the guilt of the time we couldn’t spend together remains deeply in my heart 🌸 From the day you were born, I would press your tiny hands five times gently. And you would hold onto my pinky finger as if to answer me. The overwhelming emotion of that moment can never be fully put into words 🌸 As you grew up, every night before you fell asleep, we shared our own secret signal. Holding hands tightly, one, two, three, four, five squeezes… “Chan, I love you.” “I love you, Mom.” Our little signal, just for you and me 🌸 Chan, even though Mom and Dad were far away, we were always with you. We cried together, we laughed together. You’re still the same boy who held Mom’s hand and bounced along beside her just like on the day you left. You’ve always been by our side, smiling in your unchanging way. Chan, you don’t have to be sorry. In a family, even without words, we can understand, forgive, and embrace each other just by looking into one another’s eyes “Chan, love you” 💙🩷🩵💝💖💞🩵💙

Yeah, I think the second verse is from Chan's pov to his siblings. Hannah even talked about it in one of her recent lives. She said they don't express their emotions to each other very much, so it was nice to hear Chan's perspective through the song.

Kwestleo

Oh man, im gonna cry again. Damn even after all this time im still sobbing.

AncientStay

Yes you are, come join me.

My opinion: first and second verse is POV parents and then final verse is Bang Chan response to his parents 😭 fun note: Channie’s mom made a post in response to this song and it’s emotional 💔💔💔 which is why I think it’s from their POV 😭😭😭

I heard Seungmin say he asked each 3Ratcha member to write a song for him.

There are two nature things that so dearest to Chan : the odean and the moon. The ocean reminds him of Australia, of home. The moon reminds him of his family, of stays. In the video when he is on stage you can see the moonlight graphic flash by and visible in the last scene. The moon stands for his imprortant, loved people watching him along his journey, it gives courage and comfort to him. I'm lucky that on one of the dominATE concert I attended the moon is full and was captured on the big screen on stage that night! And Chan was so mesmerised with it, saying whenever he looked at the moon he thinking of stays and how beautiful we both are

I feel like this is for Chan's whole family ... He has said several times how he wished he had been around for his younger siblings, to watch them grow up and be there for them, especially since there is quite an age gap and he left when they and he were so young (esp. Lucus)... and how proud he is of Hannah and her music, but that he missed out on so much. I cannot hear this song and not cry, I relate a lot to it as well. and Seungmin makes it his own .. he just injects soooo much emotion! No wonder Seungmin didn't want others to hear it, and gatekeep this song forever ... it feels like pieces of Bang Chans soul which Seungmin has been given to protect. 7 Shining SKZ lights on the 8th member in the middle... is how I see it .. like they are his light amoungst the darkness during tough times.

The final part broke me, because is so real and sincere to say, the more a listen to the song the more I think is both pov, his parents and him, really Seungmin make a incredible job, his voice all the emotions, my heart feel that, what a beautiful song. And something pretty to is the moon, Chan says that always we seen the moon is like we are together seen the same one, and just makes me think all the time he see her and think about his family 🥹

Stacy Marie

I believe Seungmin said this song amazed him because of how many different ways the lyrics can be interpreted, that the perspective changes with every listen. To me, the first section feels like from Chan's parent to him, then Chan to Lucas and Hannah, then finally a message to his parents. Hannah said in a live that she heard it and it meant a lot because she knows they have a hard time really opening up to one another like that and since they both express themselves in their music, she was able to really feel it 🥹 His parents have also been going to more concerts lately and I can only imagine how good that feels to have them by his side after so long

OK, now I'm bawling.

승민이가 개인적으로 쓰리라차에게 의뢰했던곡이 방찬 곡부터 나왔어요 창빈이 만들어준 제자리걸음과 한이 만든 아직 제목 미정의 곡도 넘나 기대되요 언젠가 승민의 솔로콘에서 꼭 만나요!🥹

Nance

I feel like the first part was from Chan’s parents’ POV, the second part was his parents POV to him and also Chan’s POV to his sister and brother. You should see what Bang Chan’s mom wrote about this song. If this song didn’t make you cry, what his mom wrote definitely will make you cry.

I think the seven lights represent the seven members of stray kids that came and brought him into the light.

Here is the letter from Chan's mom originally posted in Korean, because I feel it holds so much more meaning that just doesn't translate. And the link to her post: https://www.tiktok.com/@jessicabahng/photo/7526301402088623378 🌸 전화기 너머로 흘러나오는 노래를 들으면서 상처가 나있는 엄마의 마음을 어루만져주는 너의 따뜻한 마음에 감동받고 우리 가족의 마음을 대신해 감성적으로 불러준 승민이에게 너무 고마워서 흐르는 눈물을 주체할 수가 없더구나. 🌸 엄마, 나 밥 줘. 엄마, 학교 다녀오겠습니다. 엄마, 나 오늘 친구들하고 재밌게 놀았어. 엄마, 엄마, 엄마… 찬아, 학교 가야지 일어나. 찬아, 밥 먹어. 찬아, 학교에서는 어땠어? 친구들은? 찬아, 찬아, 찬아… 그 흔한 일상적인 대화조차 우리에겐 사치였던 시간들이었지. 🌸 널 보내놓고 매일 밤을 울었단다. 보내길 잘한 걸까? 괜히 보냈나? 밥은 잘 먹고 있을까? 어디 아프진 않나? 매일 같이 같은 질문들을 되뇌며 지냈단다. 🌸 너의 데뷔를 보고 행복해하는 네 모습을 보면서 ‘나쁜 엄마’라는 무게를 조금은 덜어내려 했지만 여전히 너와 함께 하지 못한 시간들에 대한 죄책감은 내 마음속에 남아 있더구나. 🌸 너가 태어날 때부터 엄마는 너의 작은 조막손을 다섯 번 꼭 눌렀었지. 그러면 네가 대답이라도 하듯 내 새끼 손가락을 꼭 쥐었었지. 그때의 벅찬 감동은 말로 다 표현할수 없단다. 🌸 너가 커가는동안 매일 밤 잠들기 전 우리 둘만의 신호를 주고 받았지. 너와 나의 손을 꼭 잡고 하나, 둘, 셋, 넷, 다섯번을 꼭 쥐며 ‘찬아 사랑해’ ‘엄마 사랑해’ 너와 나만의 신호.. 🌸 찬아, 엄마 아빠는 멀리 있었지만 우린 늘 너와 함께였단다. 함께 울고 함께 웃고 네가 떠났던 그날의 그모습 그대로 엄마 손을 잡고 깡총 깡총 따라다니던 그 모습 그대로의 아들이니까… 너는 언제나 변하지 않은 모습으로 항상 우리 옆에서 웃어주었단다. 찬아! 미안해 하지 않아도 돼. 가족은 말하지 않아도 서로의 눈빛만으로도 이해하고 용서하고 안아줄수 있으니까… “찬아 사랑해”

This song is so personal, I definitely understand why Chan would've found it too hard to sing himself. The story behind these songs from 3racha to Seungmin is that they're birthday presents for him. Seungmin told us on his birthday live that he had requested a song to sing from each 3racha member as his b-day present last year. He's been updating us on the progress of them since, through insta-lives, bubble texts and the Singapore Talker Go, so we know a little about what's coming from the other 2 as well. Chan was the most reluctant to talk about his and only told the title – and I must say, I understand why! Because it was a birthday gift, I initially found it a bit odd that it was something so personal to Chan, but I really get why he wanted Seungmin to have it. They wrote in their post-and-reply that Channie hadn't really told him a lot about it before recording, outside of the obvious meaning from the lyrics, letting him do what he wanted and make it his own. He really did the song justice. My interpretation of what I think Chan meant when he wrote them, is that the first verse is definitely in the pov of his parents, to him. The second verse could have several meanings, but the one my heart has decided on is that it's Chan speaking to his siblings. It could also easily be either Chan to himself, or still his parents talking to him. And the last one, there's no question about, I think. It's Chan talking to his parents. As for the lights, to me, that's the other members. Whether it's Chan succeeding after working those all-nighters, or Seungmin performing the song. For me, it's symbolic of how, whatever any of them do, they shine all the more brightly individually because they make the effort to shine each their lights on the one at the front. I also think it's true, what Seungmin said, that it changes the meaning every time you listen and that you can relate it to what you're going through. Reading the letter to Chan that Jessica posted with the song really hit hard. Seeing just how personal the "Holding your hands and never let go, squeeze 'em five times that's our own little code" line really is ... I couldn't help seeing Mama Bahng with her baby boy, squeezing his hand and taking his grabbing of her pinky as a reply... The mother/child bond really is something. It really opened the floodgates for me, thinking of my own mom.

When you do your reaction to 2Kids Room, have you thought about maybe making it a marathon? I mean reacting to the 2018, 2022 and 2025 Episode of that pairing, so you can see how their relationship with each other has evolved.

Krystal Vigue

Every single time I listen to this song I burst into tears. Then Chans mom’s letter wrecked me. Seungmin did so well

Emmalee

This song made me cry my eyes out as a mom. Ughhh My heart broke not only for Bang Chan but for his mom as well. 😭

Sonali

This song never fails to turn me into a complete emotional wreck. Going to the 2kr reaction, wish me luck
