This episode was a little harder to watch... we are very much NOT ready for episode 5.

You might have already heard this, but Jisung and Chan mentioned in their first 2 kids room together that the day they were showing their stages to each other in the practice room, it was actually jisung's birthday and chan was especially hard on them because it was a birthday prank but mnet never released the footage showing them revealing it when chan brought a cake in as part of the ep just to be extra "dramatic" i guess.

im sure others can tell you in more detail but with the chan scolding jisung moment, it was a hidden camera prank for his (and felix's) birthday afterwards they brought in a cake and it was all fun and chan wasnt actually upset but mnet cut it out because theyre mnet

This was also the episode that they showed Chan "bullying" Han. There is more footage - I mean, what he said isn't wrong (at around 13:25 in the video) that they need to take it seriously. But he was harsher on Han bcause it was part of a prank. Like, fake angry and then walked out, and came back with a birthday cake for him. Bang Chan confirmed this. Mnet did not include the part of him coming back with the cake. I remember seeing a still photo of the room with them all standing and with the cake, but I can't seem to find it to share the link with you. But yeah, this was that scene.

Wow, we're not even surprised 🙄. We'll have to go and find the rest of the footage!!

This show traumatized me, I watched it to know how the boys begin and to know everything they went through to reach their success. I understand that JYP know what and how to polish them to survive in the industry but the way he delivers his feedback is so annoying plus Lee know only trained for a month, he could've give him another chance like another week maybe, to show that he can improve and debut with them. I read somewhere, I'm not sure how real it is, apparently, Lee know walked home under the rain as he think he don't deserve to take a cab. 🤧💔

I have a lot of emotions (they come out more later in the series), but baby jeongin pretty much destroys me.

All trauma, frustration, and sadness aside the fact that Chan, Hyunjin, and Seungmin named their song 4419 after a bus they have memories on. It's very symbolic and kind of a coincidence? But they had their very first music show win on 4/4/19 with Miroh. So I just think it's so cool that there is some kind of connection between where they started and where they start seeing success for their music.

Okay but the bit at the end where you guys talk about /why/ this show was being made if they're going to do eliminations and just. not stick to it. I've had a theory on this from when I watched it, that JYP knew exactly what he was going to do in that final episode, atleast by the end of episode 5 by the way I know it was received. Unlike other elimination shows where its more about choosing members to debut, I think a large part of this show for JYP was building hype and gauging popularity/marketability of such a unique group, not as much about the eliminations. Which makes it so much more cruel when the eliminations do happen because you have these teenagers who think their dreams are on the line, and can't afford to think otherwise, which applies to all survival shows, but unlike other shows, I think JYP knew halfway through that he wasn't going to stick to any of the eliminations. He did somewhat of the same thing with Twice's elimination show - he eliminated some and then just..did what he wanted in the end and it felt like everyone was hurt for no reason when it could have been avoided. same thing repeats here, I HATE episode 5 so much I never watch it 😭 it must also be noted that this is THE ONLY time in the past 6 years that minho has cried where we could see. with the way the boys talk about it, they also make it sound like it might be the only time he's ever really cried in front of some of them (or he just doesn't want anyone to know so they don't talk about it) it just makes this entire thing so much sadder 😭

It's understandable why I.N was crying during Kingdom

VL

You can watch the 9th after the survival show ;)

linoring

No, like what do you mean not special, Jisung is the most special person in the room even when he is not in the room 😤

Nikki

This is so true and I hope he knows that

Squid

the show is where that picture comes from, last ep i believe

Darleen B.

You‘re really not ready for the next 😭🥹 but always think positive! 💕

surem

i think he said it himself or one of the boys said it themselves?

Harmony

Put them through this elimination torture for no reason

Naps4Life

Fortunately it’s one of those rumors that circulates until it becomes “truth.” It would have broken my heart for him to cry alone in the rain.

Darleen B.

are you going to follow up with 'the 9th' (please?)? 🥺🙈🥰 it basically follows right after they debued and shows them moving to another dorm again and other fun (and emotional) stuff they do 🙈❤️

Darleen B.

i love how protective you are of them 😂🙈 bc in the end everyone thought 'why did he even made them go through that if they end up together anyways?!' thats what we've all been asking outselves.... no matter how often i watch this i always cry so hard. istg the survival show gave us ptsd..... 🥹😭

iman

i watched this series countless times bc i love watching reactions but i always end up tearing every single time,, i guess i love torturing myself emotionally😌

iman

i remember when i watched this show when it was airing but i stopped watching literally after this ep bc of obvious reasons,, i didnt even know them that well yet it’s too heartbreaking🤧

It doesn't get better,from what i know 🥲 I mean,at least we know that in the end they made it together and now are a big deal but i can't imagine how it must have felt for those watching it at the time (i wasn't i was just hearing about member being eliminated and being shocked since i expected all of them to debut together)

Gabbi

I refused to finish this show but it actually helps watching it with you guys and sharing our frustration. I genuinely hate this show so much for what JYP did to stray kids.

caaalli

With Innie, to this day, he is very hard on himself. So I would say that, the amount of critisms he got... it definitely stayed with him. And I hope one day he will be proud of himself, and all the hard work he has done. 😭

Finding Skz get edition 2022 such a romance and lovely episode ❤️💛…Please check it out🙏🙏

NewChapterReactions

Seriously we want to give him the biggest hug and tell him that he made it ❤️

NewChapterReactions

We talked about this for DAYS afterwards. Even now I'm still no less angry about this entire situation. If this whole things was actually orchestrated just for views... that would be beyond cruel.

NewChapterReactions

Haha we'll see! We hadn't decided yet which skz show we were going to watch after this.

NewChapterReactions

Oof well if you decide you can't continue watching we won't blame you 😭! This is brutal 💔

Angela

How i feel watching the survival once again? well...i watched it several times and i always cry ( idk why i can't no cry if i watched it so many times lol it still hurts me watching them like that) and i always get mad at this man called jyp. I'm not okay with the way he treats them and the bad things he said to them hurting them, making them lost confidence and doubting about themselves, that's not how u supposed to help them grow as artists or whatever, cause he wasn't helping them. he was like destroying them. I'm sure he could have said the lacks and stuff in a better way and motivating them to overcome that in a healthy way. I agree with tori , i understand what she said, they are a group made by themselves not the company, they are like independent so is contradicting what he did. And yeah i guess you'll figure it out how they ended up together but still.. i don't get it, this man.. i think the show just likes drama and drama but it can become a trauma for them and like i saw in a comment, i.n for example, there's things that stayed with them. And WHY? why did he eliminated Lee know? he was rapping for the first time and didn't have enough time to prepared it, its normal that he maked a mistake and yeah im not profesional but i listened his vocals better than the first time(in hellevator) so maybe he did a bit of progress. I understand than is a show to debut but..giving him a little more time to get comfortable with rapping would have been enough there's no need to eliminate him. Also when they were like practicing the test day they cut off a part where chan got really "mad" at Han and Han answered him and then Chan left the practice room (u saw that in like the end of the episode 3 like a "previous episode" but then he came back and give Han a birthdays cake and chan acting like that was a joke (not in the episode of today but the part that they didn't put in this episode cause he had to left so he can take the cake) han and chan explained this in an episode of two kids room.So this proof that the show wanted drama. Anyways i'm ready to cry more cause i give up on trying not to cry hahaha. See u at friday !! i hope u're doing well. ily <3

Angela

oh gosh i almost wrote the bible with the comment, i'm so sorry. its okay if u dont read it its too long lol. ily <3

NewChapterReactions

We read it all haha thank you for commenting ❤️. We understand the frustration with this show... lots of tears coming for Friday's episode 💔

I

ouggghhh i recommend the finding skz series after this !!! there's 2 versions ? theres finding skz get edition and finding skz god edition :]

Linda Johansson

I fully believe JYP was always going to debut all 9 of them but just eliminated some to create drama.

Mikayla M

The worst part is that after this Lee Know walked home in the rain because he didn’t believe he deserved a taxi.

k-lyn

A reactor mentioned a theory that JYP possibly eliminated Lee Know and Felix so they can concentrate on improving instead of worrying about the missions. The theory is a bit of a stretch, but it’s plausible.

ProductiveSloth

Honestly I think he eliminated them with the thought of bringing them back and creating a stronger bond between the fans and Skz ( u know they feel protective of the members and therefore care more about them) but idk

I’m going through and watching this becauze I found you guys on YouTube, and I realise this is a while ago you reacted to it. But I’d like to point out the fact that not all subtitles are actually translated properly, I watched with some of my boys from my Korean Exchange program and they were laughing at so many misinterperated translations. Also I know it sounds like JYP is very harsh and rightfully so, I mean I think this was something that SKZ as a whole, and Chan, needed to hear and experience. I mean not that I’m saying trauma is the way to go about it, but the severity meeded to be instilled. Still I cry everytime and curse JYP but I understand now as I got older because I experienced this show first hand when it was coming out live. Absolute love your work though💜💜💜
