ITS THE DAY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR. I'm not even going to wait to get home to watch it because I need it. Im soooooo freaking excited. Nope that was our vocal King Seungmin with that beautiful intro. The way I had goosebumps the entire time because watching you guys watch it for the first time feels like my first time watching it again and it just got me so freaking hyped. Not D'some being speechless. Oh D'some I absolutely love the visual aid to what Han-C was saying. I love how giddy you both are talking about the music. Talking about the shapes is so interesting because like I feel like I understand what you're saying but also I know I don't understand it 100%. Stop y'all's Vibes right now are so immaculate I can't even handle this. I'm not going to lie once again I did not pay attention to the lyrics at all so I need to go look at those. Oh wow absolutely love the Korean culture in this song. And yeah everybody peeped the tiger from the teaser I think. No questions at all just pure enjoyment. Oh fuck yeah I can't wait for you to get to holiday but I definitely can't wait to see your reaction to their mama performance it was insane. And are you going to watch their award speech? I feel like it is a must.

subscribed to watch jyp caterers but the amount of skz content, i am seated!! AND FINALLY DIVINEE :D

NikkiBeast

YESSSSS. This is hands down my favorite track on the album, I don't even have words for it. I haven't even watched the reaction yet, but I can't wait to see your faces when the intro happens. Edit: now I have watched it, and I'm so thankful for your translations and explanations! I always know there are things I'm not picking up on, and it helps so much. "Shouldn't work, but does" really describes SKZ's whole deal.

I absolutely love the LIVE Choreo for this… check out their MAMA performance 😉🤯

드디어 마침내 뮤비의 여운이 꺼지기전에 마마가 미쳤어요 승민이는 컴백주부터 발에 염증이 있었고 리노는 마마무대중에 부상을 당했지만 끝까지 잘 마무리했어요 심지어 리노 댄브앞두고ㅜㅜ 그리고 꼭 대상소감도 리액션해주세요 진짜 스키즈의 전반전이 마무리된 느낌이에요🥹

Paula

I was ready to start a sausages revolution if this wasn’t updated today. 😂 I have been eagerly waiting for your reaction to divine almost as much as I was waiting for the MV itself to drop.

Handsome Sausages

Wow we dodged a bullet then huh XD we were just as eagerly waiting for Sausages to enjoy this so we had to post it today:D

Renata

3RACHA forever!

Star Dust

Thanks for all the Korean details! So interesting!

heyo_amanda

Yay, I'm so excited this is up! I was really looking forward to it since it's so steeped in Korean culture - it was already my favorite, but I knew I'd fall in love even more once I had a better understanding of some of those key aspects. Whenever you get a chance (no rush!) you should react to their performance of it that just happened at the MAMA awards! (They also did Creed, Chk Chk Boom, and Ceremony - Hip Hip version) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJVVSNxZ9E0&list=LL&index=9

orly

in sounds so good in that bridge part! they need to write him more parts like that. This is such a good song

Talea

Thank you for explaining all the cultural references in the lyrics! I knew that as a non-Korean speaker and European that this song must slap so much harder than what I can perceive

chi

Woww thank you guys!! This song is already amazing, but with added cultural context and references?! It just got sooo much better!!

Paula

It was a close call indeed. 😁 I just love this song so much, and I was fairly sure you guys were going to love it too so I wanted to “share the joy”. And hearing all the Korean explanations makes me love the song even more.

Paula

Also definitely react to MAMA performance when you get a chance and when you do that I would recommend also reacting to their speech after receiving the daesang.

Hazel

Thank you for the extra layers of meaning! I already loved Divine, I love it even more now 🫰 I neeeeeeedd you to check out their MAMA performance, it was it EPIC. And after owning the stage, they won their first MAMA Daesang 🥹

ProductiveSloth

You aren’t far behind this time. You might actually finish this album before the next one drops😂 Jk jk surely they won’t drop another one that soon… Since you already watched MAMA (can’t wait for the reaction) I wanted to suggest that you guys watch the 🖤 Kids Room (its older) if you heven’t because they are so cute and only around 10 min each (there are 8, one for each member)😁

jiyongchy

Yes to MAMA 2025 performance AND their AOTY acceptance speech please ☺️

Hallie

I have been waiting so impatiently, because I wanted you to hear the song. It's absolutely breathtaking. I truly don't know how you manage to wait to listen to it, but I do appreciate it. Thank you so much for the additional context on the lyrics, it really adds to the picture that they're painting with the song.

Mikayla

Yes! The acceptance speech is a must watch! I was literally bawling 😭

Bee

Thank you for the insight! I can't wait for you to go over Holiday and Photobook <3. The choice to package these four songs together is super interesting -- the themes sort of clash (e.g. do it vs holiday) and build on each other (e.g. looking to the past and future with divine and photobook) simultaneously

J.A. Moore

I am SO HAPPY to watch your reaction to "Divine," which is my absolute favorite track on the album. Your breakdown of everything - the music, the structure, the lyrics - is something I have been looking forward to because I knew there was a lot of stuff I was missing. Especially re: the lyrics and the deeper meaning(s) behind them. Considering SKZ (and Le Sserafim) were kindof officially but not officially chosen as Korean cultural representatives when they were asked to perform in front of the President of South Korea (with JYP sitting right next to him) during the inauguration of the Popular Culture Exchange Committee, this song just fits right in by introducing the world to more Korean culture, language, folklore and modern pop music. I love how SKZ takes that seriously, but in such a fun and catchy way. I also love how both the song and the video seem to be constructed, lyrically and visually, to deliberately appeal to Koreans themselves, not just the rest of the world. There's a lot of criticism of K-Pop groups from within Korea, with people saying the K-groups are alienating their internal fan base by making too many western-sounding songs to appeal to outside markets. I hope "Divine" helps change some people's minds about that. Lastly....now that you've watched both "Bleep" and "Divine"..... Have you also seen this?? When I watched it, my jaw fell open. (Those who haven't watched both M/Vs (for Bleep" and "Divine") may not understand this): https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1Hh4vvsPr1/

금강산하

신선놀음 정말 최고에요 괜히 더블타이틀이 아니죠!! 솔직히 말하면 노래와 뮤비 스케일만보면 정규앨범 타이틀감이라고 생각해서 음방활동이 없는 더블타이틀인 것에 살짝 안타까움도 있는건 사실이에요😂 그랗지만 역시나 스키즈는 결코 스테이를 실망시키지 않죠... 마마에서 신선놀음 포함 여러곡으로 아주그냥 무대를 찢다못해 터뜨린 수준!! 그리고 마지막엔 대상까지!!! 정말 완벽한 마마의 마무리였어요!😆😆😆 비록 무대중간에 리노가 발을 다치고(무대가 끝날때까지 전혀 눈치도 못챘지만) 승민이도 그 전부터 발에 통증이 있었댔는데 무대가 끝나고 조명이 어두워지고서야 티를 냈던... 너무 안타까운 사고들이 있었지만 그만큼 독하게 레전드 무대를 또 만들어버려줘서 스테이로써 고맙기도하지만 걱정도 컸어요😢😭 그리고 수상소감을 말하는데... 너무 기특하고 짠하고 내가 이렇게 자랑스러운 그룹을 좋아하는것에 감사함을 느꼈어요 전 스키즈를 좋아한걸 후회하지 않을거에요 평생ㅎㅎ 정말 연말까지 설 수 있는 무대와 시상식은 다 나가는 것 같은데(오늘도 어딘가 나간다고 오피셜이 뜬..) 부디 제발 건강 헤치지않고 무사히 연말을 보내길 바랄뿐이에요🙏 오늘은 댓글이 고봉밥이 되었네요 ㅎㅎㅎ 늘 스키즈를 지지해주시고 사랑해주시는 핸썸소세지 여러분께도 무한한 사랑과 응원을 보냅니다! 알랍유!😆🥰❤️

DivaViews

Now that I have watched it again with you guys I paid more attention to the story of the video. Do we think that Hyunjin and I.N are like shamans since they were surrounded by talismans (those papers with writing on them) and since Hyunjin stuck one to the emperor's forehead? Also, are Chan, Han, and Binnie protectors or troublemakers? And then is Felix the supreme one? I cant wait for more story theories.

Tristana Keauna

Thank you so much for such quick reactions on this album - it must be even more difficult and time consuming with the time zones you guys are currently in, and just trying to make the time to react. I really appreciate all of your efforts! I LOVE this track! And I now want a 'beginner' course on the sounds of shapes ft. Han-C. Like... what sound IS a rhombus?

agnese f

I was waiting for this video SO MUCH and it didn't dissapoint!! Can't wait to see the MAMA reaction too!!!

Jaimee Louise

I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH THANK YOU

EzzyMoon

im so glad you guys finally got to divine!! also yay for the mama perf! idk if you'll do the acceptance speech for their award and im sure many have probably mentioned it already but: minho sprained his ankle while rushing to get ready in between chk chk boom and divine so you can see him limp during parts of the performance. seungmin also already had a foot injury as well and since he had to jump from a middle height platform, he was also limping afterwards ㅠㅠ still they both looked so happy 🥹💕

J.A. Moore

You know how "God's Menu" was a huge turning point in the identity of SKZ as a group and in their trajectory as far as growth of their fandom and their popularity in general? I kinda get the feeling "Divine" might be similar. I think I say this every time they drop a new mix tape or album, but musically "Divine" feels like the beginning of a new era, and it's also another step in the evolution of Stray Kids. It'll be so interesting to see what they come out with next.

Vale

Guys this song blows my mind because I was already excited with the teaser but WTF WAS THIS LIKEEEE OMG the intro, the outro, everything the funny sound is soooo SKZ like you say, really Divine is my favorite fr is just amazing, and everyone sound so good and every part really. And the mv and I love that you could explain us more about the lyrics so much deep indeed. Well they present Divine in MAMA is out now the presentation but GUYS IS AMAZING YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THAT STAGE WAS THEIRS

Vale

I actually think that too, and more bc of the intro and outro, I have a feeling that they gonna experiment more in that feeling, just like a peak how Han in this recents cb is choosing to do more late back rap, I think everyone is starting to go new styles of music and im exited to see

Coco Nies

Love that this song made you guys go full excited nerd mode as it should haha and as usual thanks for adding all the cultural context! That really helps so much 🙏 they packed so many different things in this song that it feels like it shouldn't work and yet it does which is like the Skz signature and never fails to amaze me! Also side note, it feels very surreal to watch this reaction while I'm visiting Seoul for the first time

J.A. Moore

I love that the most frequent rappers - Changbin, Han, Hyunjin and Felix - are coloring outside the lines with their most recent rap styles.

Lady Athena

Love itttt!!! 💕💕 please react to MAMA 2025 SKZ performances.. it’s beyond blowing mind🔥🔥🔥🔥

EL Knox

THE DIVINE THUNDEROUS ONES ARE BACK 💕💕💕 MY SONG OF THE YEAR FOR SURE ... I mean this song has everything !!!! INSANE VOCALS (we have a Mintro), SICK RAP, SPELLBINDING LYRICS, DEADLY VISUALS, STUNNING SETTING, MUSICAL MAGIC, a DRAGON!!!!!!!!! annnnnddddd a Squeeky duck dog toy sounds!!!! ... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh FIRE FIRE FIRE .......Orgasmic!!!! and then the Live performance at MAMA ... so amazing (despite the injuries and pain). Stray Kids are just DIVINE....

AncientStay

There was Seungmin - I followed his voice, stepped upon a magic carpet and Stray Kids took me away. It has only been two years, less than 3% of my life, that I have loved this group, the members and their music. I can’t tell you exactly how I even discovered them, but I am so happy to be able to enjoy, understand (with Handsome Sausages’ help) and now be ecstatic over this stupid MV and the MAMA performance and the Billboard 200 achievement - WOW what a magical ride with Skz. As Han might say…BLESSED.

Aplonia Beshay

IDK if anyone else noticed, but the temple scene with Hyunjin is the same temple used in Agust D's deshwita. Which I found really cool.

Eng선생님

When the Divine MV dropped, as I was watching it, I thought, "OMG! I can't WAIT for Handsome Sausages to react to this!!!" I've said before, as someone living and teaching in Korea, it's very important to me to understand as much as possible about the cultural and historical references, as well as the historical linguistics involved in so many Stray Kids' lyrics. I appreciate y'all's willingness to teach us all about it. DIVINE tells us so much about WHO Stray Kids REALLY are and the HOW and WHY they're doing things the way they are. ISTG, I have the best seat in the house to witness the history they're unfolding before STAYVILLE and the world.

magy_streetlight

THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING THE EXTRA CULTURAL NUANCES!!!!

Beeeeebz

AHHHH! Seungmin Intro and Rubber Ducky were instantly GOAT'ed in my Skz Hall of Fame when I listened to this the first time. My jaw literally dropped and I had to rewind it which I try not to do on the first listen. How they continue to surprise us is next level. Thank you for the lyrics insight! Helps explain things so much, and I find it so fascinating that there are some things you just can't explain in another language. But your explanation just revealed another layer of 3racha genius.

tashalovestotoro

Thank you 🩶🩶 the rubber duck squeak makes me giggle every time 😂😂

J.A. Moore

The rubber ducky squeak and the earlier cartoon noise during Han's rap when he's holding the fan are so on brand for SKZ, which I love.

luna astrum

It wasn't a magic carpet. Another reactor said it was the tapestry. Its not a reference to Aladdin. Its still culturally based in Korean
