Ahh I have been so excited for this since you started reacting to Kingdom!!

Brianna

Ive been waiting for this episode since you said you were watching this show! Such a legendary performance 😭

Auburn

when it'sOne didn't win dance, my heart dropped bc I KNOW they're not winning against the Mayfly vocal team (without having finished the episode).

Anjuliq Nelson

I can tell y’all rn, you are NOT prepared for the next episode 😭

SnowDropSteph

I cannot wait for the Move performance. For me, besides Wonderland, this is the one I go back to.

boop

IM TELLING YOU NEXT ROUND IS CUCKOO BANANAS

Emma

I would've giving the dance to It'sOne, it was so good. Not that mayfly wasn't, but It'sOne's was more of my thing. Also the way i want to rip that white fur thing off Jinhwan's coat… it's horrid and causes an inexplicable rage in me every time I see it.

Melly

I’m dying 🤣 Adam did say desmolish and Steph curry, who does play for the golden state warriors. But he also has a brother that plays in the nba name Seth curry so it was all correct but RJ immediately shutting Adam down was hilarious because how could Adam be right about basketball

Yanna E

When I first watch the love poem performance I was in TEARSSSS!! It was so good

Kiara

I think it does feel icky to pit such talented groups to against each other and makes it even worse when it 3 against 3 because none of them were bad, they were well good. That being said I truly believe Mayfly deserved all 3 of their wins. I think they really utilized the “No Limit” to fullest capacity but also knew when less was more(ie vocal stage). The whole judging thing is why I recommended to just watch the performances and not the whole show lmaoooo but hey it’s a survival show so 🫡

Duda

Best Kingdom performances for me are for sure the singing from Mayfly and this Stray Kids one. They just know how to put on a good show! Also, why are we saying that Deadpool is evil? I don't understand this thing about confusing the characters with the company that is profiting from them. It's a character in a comic book. Also the guns is because deadpool uses guns.

Pond’sPhuphu

IU’s songs always making me cry. There’s something about her voice that like tickles my deepest traumas. Same with LeeHi.

colomba

i think this was the start of a new seugmin

AGoodListener

Jonhgo is like 10 days younger than Seungmin. 😂

Skyler

This episode quite literally spurred into motion one of the best weeks of my life. Summer's just setting in and I'm waking early to watch -Kingdom- of all things. Then there's that back to back punch of Love Poem and God's Ddu-Du Ddu-Du. It was like being put on cloud nine. It was electrifying, I had a little journal I kept that summer and there's a whole week of entries that look like I was taking illegal substances, fully high off of the energy that episode gave me. The buzz from it lasted for days, the world genuinely looked brighter around me. Art and music and performance, these things all combined to make something so soul touching to me that I can still feel remnants of those emotions YEARS later. I know this was a bit of a novel... It's just one of those memories that I've bottled up to keep. As an example of this is why I'm alive, cause they're moments in life that feel like THAT.

Emma

They absolutely should have released the full reactions to every performance from every group! It’s not like they don’t have the footage. But you know what? They've learned. They released four different videos of idols reacting to g-dragon on MAMA and it was glorious! No need to scour YouTube for some fans shaky phone camera footage, instead we got to enjoy watching Hoshi freaking out in full hd. I’ve watched those videos an embarrassing number of times.

Aleisha Layne

Unpopular opinion..but watching ikons performance made me miss men in skinny jeans! Idk what it is but them kpop boys made them shits look so damn good! Like..Ju-ne legs ....help me!!!! Im melting 🫠 😍🤤 Also....my husband mounted our tv in the living room...just so everyone is aware usually i do all the IN house building of furniture, wall mountings, diy etc but he said he could do it. I dont watch tv in our living room...because its EXACTLY how you envisioned Chan in his booth!

Dan

Let the men cry in peace Mnet!

DMays0711

Again, special announcement of Guest star… K! in the next episode…lol

Dan

I mean, calling stray kids an improv group isn’t wrong

Lara Lerke

bobby rapping with the hood over his head is the mvp moment of all of kingdom for me

Dia

True SKZ improv is their SKZ family episodes where it's just them getting roles in a family and building a whole alt universe. And Adam guessed correctly, that performance was what connected Ryan Reynolds to stray kids and later on Hugh Jackman. They had kept in contact mostly with chan but the whole Ryan appearing in their MV was only because he heard it was going to be filmed in NYC. The reason they constantly break the 4th wall during the performance is because that's how deadpool is as an antivillain; he's very comicbook-like and does it often in movies and in the comics as well. Also, you're not ready for that move performance, like it's honestly top5 in the whole show for me.

Semi

the mayfly vocal performance was so good I teared up watching it🥹

FroggyMuds

I love watching you guys discover skz in real time we need them for beloved of the month

Aras Paty

A beautiful and stunning performance by the trio of Mayflay.

Cryptid

I will say that there was a bit of dirty editing to make a story of oh he didn’t hit his note….but then seungmin also hit a wry note they just edit it out but if you watch you can see him singing it when he’s harmonizing with Jongho and hear it in the others mics. Are both the performances amazing? Yes. Do producers suck? Yes. Will I continue to watch love poem a million times? Yes.

Melly

This Love poem performance still makes me cry. The first time I watched it I bawled and then a few days later I watched a fanmade video with the translated English lyrics and wailed like Woonhak it’s so sad. I was obsessed with Love Poem and this Gods Menu ddu ddu ddu ddu and watched it multiple times a day until the following week. So excited for next week, you two are going to be gagged by SF9 doing Taemin’s Move. get ready now! Bobby is pretty good at speaking English because he lived in Virginia for 6 years before joining YG. After Kingdom, I had to go watch his whole season of Show Me the Money because he has so much natural swag, charisma and cute charm which he won btw when he was still a trainee. Definitely a one of kind performer and rapper.

Shanelly Faust

So yeah, this is the begging of skz and ryan reynolds lore. He saw the performance on twitter and reacted. They reach out to each other and became friends, specialy bangchan with ryan. There is actually real comment on some skz mv on youtube by ryan reynolds haha. It got to a point were freking hugh jackman comented on an skz post with some of hyujins paintings. And when the new deadpool came out, we were kinda expecting the collab already.

Dana

Does anyone remember the blind dates that all the groups did in their respective units or was that just a fever dream??

Patricia

the bang chan scene is also an antman reference with the tank going from toy size to real size

Kassie Delong

If the Stray Kids improv group asked me for a location, it would not be Chili’s but it would be an Outback Steakhouse. To make Chan And Felix feel at home.

schvva

Please react to unit speed dating videos which are all on youtube!!!

renok

There is a behind series of kingdom that is worth checking out!

Kiki

As a fan of SF9, personally I would say they should sent Dawon instead of Inseong for vocal unit. Inseong do have talents, but Dawon’s voice is more stable. He did the best job in many SF9 cover live on radio broadcast in early years, when real-time tuning hasn’t be used deeply. Also for rap unit in last episode, I take Zuho as a better choice than Hwiyoung. Zuho is the one in white long coat equipped a knife in The stealer stage. His rap is deep and aggressive which could enhance diversity to the rap unit. And he’s kinda extrovert among SF9 members, while Hwiyoung is deeply introverted which made him lacking effective communication with the rap unit. (Anyway it is Hwiyoung’s personality makes me love him😌)

hattie1117

the love poem performance! the way i choked out through my tears oh god dont play it again! So beautiful <3 And Bobby has my heart!

Auburn

Oof! If I was Stray Kids, I would've called in sick when LISA appeared, knowing I had to follow it and she wasn't appearing in my performance😅 If it's blackpink vs blackpink song, I would give it to iKON and that might be bc of the ponytails, the cunty dancers, the bobby charm, and the LISA of it all lol but I ended up enjoying theirs a hair more. Am I crazy or was I.N looking down the whole time (this might be stacked to the villain of the show being the camera)? And to me, Seungmin seemed low energy. I don't know if my expectations for SKZ is too high, knowing they win and the way people talk about them in the comments, but to me, I just wasn't wowed by them. The ending was awesome though! Love to have some lighthearted-ness!

Krissywithk

I come back to that love poem performance every couple of weeks even so many years after the show ended, its just that good. It cemented seungmin as my skz bias along with lee know. I still get goosebumps everytime i hear his voice in this vocal performance.

Auburn

Not surprised the Mayfly vocal perfomance was incredible. Their individual voices bring something so special to the table, Eunkwang's range, Jongho's power, and Seungmin's incredible vocal tone. Seungmin's tone scratches a part of my brain. It's like velvet. But I wasn't worried a second. Those are three people I trust to bring an incredible vocal performance. I was able to just be taken away.

Jasmin💙

Juyeon dance group was robbed😞

Sarah

Imagine SF9 performance and they would invite bora to join then!!

NateChan

I would say that Stray Kids are the one of the most camp groups in Kpop. Out of all the performances SKZ did on Kingdom, God’s DDDD was the one that truly showcased their colours.

Lisa M T

I feel so bad for Inseong . Every singer has experienced a day like that, when their voices just isn't at its best, it was too bad it happened for this performance.

stephanie44

I personally loved all mayfly stages the most (also the dance one) i also hop youre reaction to the last two performances isnt mean to be negativ. Ikons performance was great (even if lisa wouldnt have been in it) and imo thats also the most iconic skz performance from them( all are amazing) tho i know you guys sometimes have more unpopular or different opinions yourselve.

Nala

Ahh yes, this episode 😌👏👏👏

cass

THIS WAS SO FUN TO WATCH, love poem team really killed it and gave us the best kingdom performance... but if i had to choose, the STAR of this ep is han's big ass hat 😭😭

Gabby

my show is ON 🍿🍿🍿 was so excited to see you guys react to love poem the second yall started watching kingdom

Michelle R.

IU FOR ARTIST OF THE MONTH!

Maritza Islas

So, going into this, I had only ever seen the MayFly vocal units performance, because my best friend made me lol. I love Stray Kids and but Im not familiar with all their music. Seeing this was one of those moments where I thought to myself Seungmin isnt as featured vocally in their songs as I would like. He is such a power house and I feel like THIS performance showed that BEAUTIFULLY. That said, I know that their style of music is so much broader than just ballads. So if there are more SKZ songs of theirs that feature him more, I would love to hear them!

marielle

Not sure if you recorded your recap already but the stray kids song title is actually “New DDU DU DU DU” because “shin” in Korean is “new,” while shin is God in Chinese characters. Wordplay stuff

gi ♡

The instant Love Poem replay is so real (years later I still do the same thing!)

tiff

I BEEN WAITIN FOR THIS ONE love poem is a perfect performance. perfect arrangement, perfect vocals, perfect blend. it blows me away every time. i will NEVER get sick of hearing it. seungmin's clear vocals (he's my biggest stand out in this for sure), eunkwang's flashy vocals, jongho's powerful vocals... it's just so beautiful.

tiff

ju-ne has one of my favorite tones in kpop. the rasp UGH

Kara Marshall

I have been WAITING for Love Poem and Adam did not disappoint <3 I swear the three of them were made to sing together. Seungmin and Jongho are THE voices of 4th gen.

Andy K

Han's giant hat is my SKZ bias.

Life? Best Unscripted

Stray Kids would be a fun improv group—they are pure adorable chaos and feed off eachother so well, they basically are their own comedy sketch——and everyone equally freaked out over Lee Know thighs in those jeans, his thighs have their own fandom at this point..

aliofthe grace

I love the part a 50:05 were 2racha (Changbin and Han) is complementing Seungmin on his voice and Chan is just in the background watching them fondly

MagicMermaidGirl

I was so excited to see your reactions to this episode and yall did NOT disappoint I was WAITING for this episode since yall announced you'd be watching it

sunnyside

love poem is probably my favorite collab stage ever, by a longshot. not only do their voices blend together perfectly while also being distinct, but eunkwang is just... so proud of both of them and you can see it in his eyes on stage. it's such a cool thing to see. this also really felt like a turning point for seungmin as a main vocalist in real time. i think this stage gave him a confidence he hadn't quite stepped into before this since taking on the role of main vocal, and i'm eternally grateful for him getting this experience. you can also tell from every reaction shot, be it their team or the other team or the judges, that everybody there knew they were seeing and hearing a once in a generation collaboration stage. what i wouldn't give for a reunion. even just one more stage.

fantasomnia

I feel like my faves were all the 3 member performances for the Rap, Dance and Vocal. I still liked the larger group ones. Was happy to have some YG Family vibes as well.

Bay

It was crazy of this show to put two of the most legendary stages in one episode lol

Peikoririn

*slides u stray kids on a pretty lil plate* I think it’s time for skz botm up next..

Princessyoku

Jongho would slay Defying Gravity

a weenie whistle

Oh oh! My fiance has a Master in Asian studies and he said the reason why they use the steel rice bowls (and utensils like steel chopsticks) was 1) for regulatory portion control 2) to pump up their steel production in the 70s. But historically Korean royalty used to use silver chopsticks because they turn a different color due to chemical reactions when poisoned? Prior to stainless steel Koreans used to use iron chopsticks.

Suziee

Siiiigh the Spark performance staging is my roman empire. Why didn't they have a better vision for the set/stage design? Why didn't they have more cohesive costumes? Why couldn't they have had a live band?? I wish there had been a slightly better reception to it just so that we could've gotten the chance at bonus performances ...like maybe a lil duet with Ju-ne & New 🥲

SOL

I feel like Adam would LOVE G-Dragon tho highkey

Taylor M

LOL at Stray Kids being an improv group! it's so true!! their SKZ family episodes kind of give off improv energy tbh. And the mafia ones too. They definitely have some general character idea but they spiral out of control feeding off each other in them lol.

m

love poem is really The kingdom performance for me... i was so proud of seungmin, i've been a stay since debut and he's always been great but his vocal improvement over the years has been amazing, he's worked so hard on his singing for so long

Nina Sera

Spark team’s performance was incredible and I really enjoyed all of their voices but especially June. That being said Inseong shouldn’t feel bad bc even if he hit that note I don’t think they would’ve gotten a vote, that Mayfly performance was generational. God tier. There aren’t even words to describe it. Overall, personally I liked itsones rap performance better but they were pretty evenly matched. The dance performance though I think they were kinda robbed. Wolf was great and had some iconic moments, but bc the camera work in this show sucks it got kinda hectic at times. Itsone keeping it simpler really paid off in that regard but it was still beautiful and interesting and told a story. And the wigs! I really wish Q had joined though. I feel awful for itsone after all that but esp Jay bc he’s clearly so competitive and they can’t catch a break😩

Suziee

The way my jaw dropped at Adam saying he doesn't know a "damn thing" about GDragon. Which is lowkey so fair because it's been basically a decade since he did anything (until last year) but still just a indicative of how time passes & things change 😵‍💫

m

"stray kids are an improv group" no but they're actually so good at improv lol y'all have to see their exchange island parody and skz family episodes someday bc they were COMMITTED to the bit. they love doing their little skits

Kiki

Jaeyoon from SF9 is the only one who keep eyes on ikon member with his mysterious smile, when Lalisa queen is slaying the stage

dnajjks

WAIT!? You guys speak English Korean AND Spanish??? Like fluently, a moderate amount, or enough to order at a restaurant level?

Sonya Tellez

*side note* those chips are addicting...

dnajjks

1:22:26 LMAOOOO LITERAL TEARS IN MY EYES ADAMS SO STUPID (positive)

Meg DiRuggiero

I usually just listen to the recaps but I had to come here to watch the iu reaction, I still get chills and ive seen this performance like 50 times TT

Madeline Reed

Have you checked out the lyrics for “Love Poem”? It’s heart wrenching. Genuinely. It was written by IU in response to idols taking their own lives. There’s an exquisite video of IU singing it with just a small studio band that has full subtitles. It’s stunning to watch but you need to be emotionally prepared.❤️

Honey Sy

I may be wrong but I think the silver bowls and utensils and everything was from war days? They were made to be durable and last. It just stuck afterword

L N

I think this performance of Love Poem is a perfect vocal performance. I have not been able to watch it once without crying.

Idk_my_bff_ki

Mayfly Vocal’s Love Poem is definitely my all time favorite & the one I’ve watched the most. Even though I watched Kingdom for the first time not long after it aired, I still watch this performance fairly often. Love Poem by IU is one of my favorite comfort songs anyways, but this version is just timeless and so beautiful! It’s truly an iconic moment!

MapleSuga2

sooo this is my serotonin watch lol..... but like, imagine if they’d done MAMA...
