Musicians react & analyze ♡ SKZ - Ceremony (MV)

KARMA FKIN’ DROPPED FINALLY!!! The moment we’ve ALL been waiting for—SKZ just dropped the KARMA album!! It’s finally here, it’s real, and it’s hitting harder than we thought. We’re kicking off this KARMA journey with the “Ceremony” MV. From the Karma Intro video and the members hinting at its diversity, we were already curious about how the sound and flow would turn out. And wow… it was even crazier than we imagined. Different rhythms, ambiguous song form, catchy hooks, flashy raps—this track was SO Stray Kids, but at the same time, something totally new. Now we’re sooooo hyped out of our minds. If this is just “Ceremony,” how the hell are we gonna survive the rest of KARMA?! Wish us luck, HOLY FXXX! The party officially begins NOW!!! And STAYS! If you liked what you saw here today and want more SKZ related contents earlier than others, contents like SKZ Code, Survival Show, Two Kids Room, SKZ night livestreams and more, then hop on and join the party at http://patreon.com/handsomesausages !! :D Kpop producer and singer-songwriter react to SKZ's Ceremony (Official Music Video).

Yaaassss. I can't wait for y'all's reaction. Oooo it does give 2pm hands up.

Layah

I was waiting for this allllllll day!

hansterfelix

It's hereeee, I really wanna hear your thoughts on the song and the album omg I had the same reaction as Han-c with those rap lines (minus the pet porn 😭) god knows how many times I rewinded that. This song and MV is soooo energetic idk what they put in this album but it's SO addicting. And FAKEEEEERRRRR I literally screamed lmfao

kerolina

YASSSSS let’s go 😭😭😭

kerolina

And yes omg HAN’s RAP 😭😭😭 (although im not sure about the pet part xD)

kerolina

can’t wait for you guys to react to the rest of the songs!!!!

Back in I think 2019 SKZ did cover 2pm Hands Up at an award show if you want that clip too, just speaking of how it sounds similar. (They did a full cover on Music Bank, the award show mashed up Hands Up and Go Crazy, I linked the solo song version below) https://youtu.be/Jui6wxbidX4?si=Bi6e9iSxDlp7uyXH

The theme of the entire video is sports, and the most famous, most GOAT e-sports player on the planet is Faker - whom, by the way, Felix is a massive fan of because Felix plays League of Legends. (Plus - fun fact - in real life Faker and Felix are both ambassadors for UNICEF and did a special campaign / photo shoot for UNICEF a while back). Anyway, it was only natural that SKZ asked Faker to make a cameo appearance at the end of the video.

Krystal Vigue

hans rap is my favorite moment too!! this whole mv was such a vibe and i've been jamming to it all day

Lari

PET PORN! HAHAHAHA I got it! I don't know how but I think I know what you wanted to say HAHAHA OMG THIS SONG, THIS MV, THIS ALBUM.. IT'S PERFECT!

J.A. Moore

So, Han-C..... @4:26.... I posted this comment on another one of your reactions, but I think it's even MORE applicable here: I think I need a T-shirt or hat that says "Handsome Sausages....Just the tip of the trash can." I mean.....DUDE.

Handsome Sausages

Yeh I think he meant it like how ppl say food porn but...yeh it just didn't roll out as nicely as food porn did it XD

J.A. Moore

I love how UNCONVENTIONAL Stray Kids are, on many of their songs. They're just built differently from other K-groups, lol. Aside from Ceremony, I actually fell in love with "In My Head." LOVE that song. I won't spoil it, but I think you'll understand when you hear it.

Sam sam (Lan zhan)

i think i got what u meant by 'pet porn' ??? 😭😭 like the mix of someone you find so adorable like a pet + someone doing something rlly attractive? but damn the wording got me choking on my drink 😭😭😭😭😭

Vale

OMFGGGGGGG GUYS THIS IS SO AMAZING I was in shock frrrrrr I need it to watch it like 3 time in a row bc o couldn’t believe what was hearing and seeing fcking amazing omg AND THE ALBUM GUYS THIS IS WILD

Lari

Which makes it so funny! Seriouslly, love you guys! Oh I'm all day hearing the album and I'm not able to chose one that I like more, all of them are amazing! Oh and Festival version it's impossible to not dance along hahaha

rlm66

I think Beep, Ceremony, and Half Time are my top currently but I’ll say I’m most excited to see your reaction to In My Head

Kwestleo

Yaaassss. I can't wait for y'all's reaction. Oooo it does give 2pm hands up. Han-C dancing during the outro was cute af. And absolutely. Han's verse shook me too my core. It was so hot. Pet porn? Huh? Han-C what. Are. You. Talking. About? That silence was so loud. Not you thinking the silence made it weird. Yes Han's rap was very sexy. Oh wow yall are just made to be opposites huh 🤣. For sure repetition can either be annoying or really catchy. Here its really catchy. Ohbyeah, SKZ is definitely good at subverting expectations. Prechorus, chorus and post chorus can definitely be ambiguous. Oh the being offbeat was definitely a theme from the beginning with when chan comes in with his hip hip. I can't wait to get your input on all of the Korean used because I know I'm missing a lot of things with a couple of the songs. Before listening to the album, I was claiming Bleep, Mess, Ghost and creed. After hearing the album my tops were Creed, 0801, Mess and Ghost

hansterfelix

I'm excited to watch your reaction on the rest of the tracks!! This album is definitely a no-skip one! Maybe because I'm super active on twitter/x, I keep seeing hateful things thrown at Stray Kids and their music. But watching your videos always make me realize that some random people may talk bad about them but at the end of the day, those who actually KNOW about music will truly appreciate their creativity. Thank you for always explaining the stuffs that might be confusing for us, non-korean fans, as well as giving us the idea of how great skz music really is in a musician's perspective

I would have preferred it if Changbin had done his opening rap in Korean. His pronunciation of English there is a little strange and I think it detracts from his rap. The drums underneath it all are so fun, so interesting. I think it’s actually quite a challenging song, because despite all the ingredients, it doesn’t conform to regular patterns. Like you say, it’s difficult to say what is pre chorus, chorus, post chorus etc. Long term, I think that might make this one a standout. Short term, it’s more difficult. My favourite track turned out to be Bleep. It’s awesome.

bludreamgirl

The Way I screamed in my house when I saw faker...👹💅

Anna Camilla

This entire album is absolutely a bop, but the one that always stick with me is In My Head, dunno why I keep playing the song since the album dropped 🎶

Jenni Heath

Question... Is Han-C's jersey on backwards? lol I don't know why but my eyes went directly there

Rina

Faker's appearance was made even better by the fact that SKZ themselves didn't know he'd be in it. It was kept a secret from them too, until they watched the MV – which they've put out so we can see how they reacted to it!

J.A. Moore

According to the article below, it sounds like the members were told while they were still touring that Faker had filmed a scene for their M/V. But since they were out of country, SKZ didn't get to meet him in person or see the scene until they reacted to the complete "Ceremony" M/V. (At least that's the way it sounds to me, in the article.) So if I'm reading it right......they knew he would be in the video, but they didn't know how or when. Their reaction was completely genuine when they finally saw that scene. https://www.sportskeeda.com/us/k-pop/news-this-crossover-insane-fans-stunned-league-legends-legend-faker-makes-surprise-cameo-stray-kids-ceremony-music-video ------------------------------------ EDIT: I read a fan comment that said Skijigi did NOT tell them Faker would be in the video. So.....I'm not sure now. Maybe I misunderstood the article.

Handsome Sausages

It was actually... what it is...😂 Dang! Cannot wait for the day we check out the Fest Ver!

ADDButterfly

Lmfaooooooooooo. The chaos after the video was hilarious.

Handsome Sausages

lolll I remember you saying that!!! (It's in our Forever merch list 😭)

Handsome Sausages

I genuinely appreciate for understanding the meaning of Pet Po** and sorry for... Dirtyfying your brain...

Handsome Sausages

Yes that 2PM nostalgia was 🥹 We need more sexy Hannnnn Can't wait to listen to other tracks dang!!!! And Yes, we'll be with you for the lyrics!!! (Feat. D'some's Korean lesson)

AnnCan

I have eagerly waited for your reaction. I listened to the entire album without mv/images first, since Hyunjin is my "pet porn", (will this be a new T-shirt print....I suppose a wet one 🫣), and is wrecking my world and taking all my attention as soon as he shows up in the mv. Love Lee Know's part here, Han's sexy rap and Hyunjin's hoarse voice. What I appreciate about it is that their individual uniqueness shine, and yet the blend and production is cohesvie (and not) and just so perfect and pleasing to the listeners ears.

Sonali

LMAOOOOO viewer discretion extremely advised killed me listen not to be a han bias but han's rap has to be my favorite part of the song, it's so good

Handsome Sausages

I mean, haters are gonna hate no matter what. Music isn’t something with a “right answer” anyway. If you like it, you like it. Maybe tomorrow you won’t like it as much, maybe next month you’ll love it even more—that’s the beauty of it. And there’s so much genre diversity too: some songs are producers’ type, some are fans’ type, some are general audience’s type. Everyone’s taste is different. So, it's always possible to have people not liking the same thing we like :) But, don’t mind the people talking bad stuff. They’ll always try to bring others down. At the end of the day, what you love will ALWAYS be what you love—and that’s the one that'll bring you joy. (I even remember getting “cute hate” during the SKZ World Cup too 😂). So really, don’t feel bad. WE are with you. And I hope you wouldn't find us special because we're 'musicians'. D'some & I are just friendly neighbor Sausages that somehow happen to ALSO love and support the same thing you love! We learn from you guys a lot too! So, since today’s a good day, let’s just enjoy the festival, enjoy the moment. Really appreciate your love, and thank you for your support 🙏😉 <3 p.s Please add the pet porn experience to your reaction 😏

EL Knox

Firstly... I am on a train watching this ... and I just lost my shit and coffee when Han C said 'Pet Porn' !!!! 🤣🤣🤣 The way Bang Chan made his voice sound like female vocals layered behind Changbins "nobody can stop me" .. love! The beat is so so so addictive 🔥. My fav bit I'd Han's and Felix's section but I love how chaotic and unconventional this song is in general. .... The festival version is going to go off... I can't wait for the next tour ... I can already imagine Festival Felix 'FestivLix' with lasers, water and Lollapalooza-esque madness!!! The choreo and Comeback stage are FIRE!!! Faker!!! ... You should watch Stray Kids reacting to this MV ... they are so excited and Hype... I think Felix destroyed Lee Knows ears at the end. 🤣🤣🤣

EL Knox

That is who 'Bleep' was made for 😜.

chi

Omg same!! It's the nostalgia for me haha. Brings me back to my high school days haha

Coco Nies

This song completely overloaded my brain on the first listen cause there is just sooo much going on but on the second and third listen I started getting really into it. The festival version goes so hard and I think I might almost prefer it to the original. Also can't wait for you to check out all the live performances for Ceremony cause this is definitely one of those songs that is meant to be performed! I love the whole album but my top 3 for now are Ghost, In my head and Bleep. But I think it will change cause they are all sooo good

Bella Fontaine

The late 90’s, early 2000’s vibe of that song is so amazing! I actually felt emotional listening to In My Head from all the nostalgia it brought on!

Bella Fontaine

I can’t wait to see your reactions to the rest of the album, especially In My Head!

ace

Honestly, I like this song but I don’t like this song at the same time, lol. Changbin’s “no one nobody can stop me” line is sooo good, and the pre-chorus with “the ratio got us goin worldwide...” is really solid too. But the chorus being just that… idk, it’s fire but I was kinda hoping for a bit more (lyrics-wise). Maybe it’ll grow on me, but right now the minimal chorus is bugging me a little. The one I didn’t expect to love this much though is In My Head. Been playing it non-stop since it dropped — it’s got that nostalgic 2000s pop rock vibe, almost Avril Lavigne-ish, with that carefree energy that just hits.

Handsome Sausages

For the love of GOD please do not make that a thing XD Let Han-C just be Han-C and all move on

J.A. Moore

"I think Felix destroyed Lee Knows ears at the end. 🤣🤣🤣" And he did it TWICE! LOL poor Lee Know.

Foz Meadows

I saw a video pointing out that the rhythm in Han's rap verse has the exact same cadence as Nails Hair Hips Heels by Todrick Hall and now I can't unhear it (positive) XD

PinkRocx

"We know there are multiple copies of you" bahaha I think I might believe this conspiracy theory

Salwa

You guys are my favourite reactors for sure. Pet porn aside 😂 I really love watching your reaction the first time, and definitely more here. This song truly is a masterpiece. Tbh when the teasers came out I dislike most of them (not for the sound, but maybe more the image?). I was late immersing myself fully into kpop because I dislike the westernized sound & image used in it. It used to feel fake, like a play pretend 2nd tier quality thing. Over the years, kpop has evolved to create its own image, and I believe the peak (so far) is when we get kpop groups that also self produced like SVT and SKZ. I was always into SKZ since the beginning but fully got into them since Thunderous. It is still THE kpop song for me, like the representative Korean pop song. It's been awhile since I felt that, and somehow Ceremony in 2025 fits that image for me, with the evolution of kpop post Covid. The fact that they get to perform this song for every event they won Daesang, it truly feels like SKZ is the benchmark for Kpop right now. For everything that I've just written, In My Head and Phoenix are my next favourites. All out western sound and reminded me so much of my youth and party years 😂
