Stray Kids' Chan x Hyunjin x Han Vlog + My Mom (Livestream Recording: 53 Minutes)

lol came to explain the rachas but marion absolutely nailed it!! 3racha makes more sense as their "producing unit" rather than their rap unit, since like 6/8 members can rap haha. but yeah, -racha is just a goofy naming convention for unofficial groupings of boys! sidenote, idk if you remember the song 3racha, but chan's verse has a reference to the scoville scale. a play on sriracha hot sauce :)

I know this was a while ago but I felt like clarifying the Rachas might be helpful in the future. 3Racha (bang Chan, Han, Changbin) started out as a rap group before debut, they produced songs together and put them out without the companies help. When deciding the members of Stray Kids Chan (who picked each member) used 3Racha as the base of the group as he wanted their group to be somewhat self sufficient in regards to creating their own music. 3Racha after Stray Kids debut is an officially recognised unit of Stray Kids as the name 3Racha is part of their credits. Whenever they are credited on their songs (and on songs they’ve made for other artists) they are credited as member brackets 3Racha e.g lyrics: Bang Chan (3Racha). When other members are credited it will only have their name and not the unofficial sub unit of stray kids e.g lyrics: Hyunjin. Not lyrics: Hyunjin (DanceRacha). As for the question about Chan rapping it encompasses all of the members, you see none of them have official positions anymore although they do have their preferences, so whilst Chan does rap (he often raps in 3Racha specific songs where is is only Chan, Changbin and Han performing) he generally does vocals for full stray kids group songs. You will find that each member raps and sings it simply depends on the song and the members preference. Han often has both singing and rapping parts in their songs and Changbin sings at times too. Each member has also participated in writing songs for the group and/or for solo or small unit songs. They each have at least one solo song to their name and many have several solo or unit songs where there are two or three members participating. DanceRacha (Lee know, Hyunjin and Felix) they are known as the members who focus on dancing in the group so they tend to have more control over dance practices (especially Lee Know who is the dance leader of the group, one of the only official positions next to Chan being the over all leader of the group) and they tend to contribute to Choreography. This doesn’t mean that the other members aren’t very good dancers in their own right just that they prefer to focus on other aspects like singing whilst taking the lead from DanceRacha. As for their general roles when it comes to Stray Kids songs, Lee Know will often sing however there are times when he raps especially in their earlier songs. Whilst Hyunjin and Felix generally Rap but do sing especially when it comes to their solo work e.g ‘little star’ by Hyunjin and ‘Deep End’ by Felix are both vocal songs. DanceRacha are also often chose for modelling opportunities, Hyunjin and Felix have both expressed their interest in fashion whilst Lee Know is very confident in his looks and is great at moving his body in the way he’s directed to do so. VocalRacha (Seungmin and I.N) again not an official sub unit, often sing and tend to focus on singing. They are the youngest so it makes sense that they haven’t done as much experimentation as the older members and since they wanted to strengthen their vocals to give Stray Kids a strong vocal line overall. I think the fact that Woojin, who was considered as the lead vocalist at the time, left meant that the two younger vocalists felt pressured to step up hence their focus on developing and improving their vocals. However there are songs where they have rap parts and Seungmin especially has mentioned often practicing rap, recording it and sending it to the rap focused members of the group for feedback, he even took over one of Hans parts in God’s menu for one performance where Han was sick so he didn’t perform. I.N has also rapped other members lines on Vlives or on othe behind the scenes shows. Plus although they were a little lacking in dance at first they are both quite accomplished dancers now. There are a few other Racha units but they aren’t really to do with performances but personalities e.g PaboRacha being the idiot (meant in the nicest way possible) or clumsy members of the group and MeowMeowRacha being the two cat like members of the group Lee Know and Felix. There have been other units especially for song releases but they aren’t as reoccurring as the groupings mentioned above. For these Racha Logs it just means that they are smaller group videos rather than full group videos like we usually get in other shows like ‘finding SKZ’ or ‘SKZ code’. Now for some of the other questions, yes they can go to places in Korea without getting swarmed because in general the Korean Culture is big on etiquette, plus there are so many groups out there that it wouldn’t be odd to see a bunch of people being filmed in random locations. I think they would have some security along with them just in case though (at least now that they are well established a quite popular, possibly not so much when they were a rookie group). They do however get badly swarmed at the airport when they leave to perform in other countries and when they return, it’s become quite the problem with some of the members getting pushed over due to the crowd. They needed to up their security, unfortunately even though the boys themselves and other fans have voiced their disappointment at this issue it keeps happening and isn’t likely to change any time soon as they are gaining popularity in Korea now. It’s more likely that they would be moved at the airport than on a random show like this one because their flight schedules for overseas events are public knowledge where as the filming for shows like RachaLog aren’t. Plus the companies often buy out locations if it’s a scheduled shoot so that no one other than their own people can be there at the time, in this case they may have payed a little extra to make sure the lanes next to the boys couldn’t be used and for Stray Kids music to be playing the whole time so they wouldn’t have issues with copyright. Chan is very athletic, so he tends to be really good at all kinds of sports. He’s especially good at swimming since his Dad is a coach and he won a lot of medals in Swimming when he was younger. He’s also good at track events which we’ve seen during Idol Sports Days where idols go up against each other in various events. He often won against idols much taller than him. There was an episode of ‘Kingdom Legendary War’ (a show where Stray Kids and 5 other groups competed with performances against each other, great show, highly recommend) where the groups had a sports day as a kind of breather from their performance competition, on that episode Chan really showed what he could do as he excelled. He has really good leg strength and can jump super high. As for cooking, yes Lee Know generally cooks and Felix bakes (he has baked cookies and brownies to share with his members, staff and other groups). When they cook on their shows (apart from the mysterious kitchen show) Chan and Hyunjin do the grilling of the meat and Chan will supervise the cooking. Seungmin can cook some stuff but as mentioned in the vid he and Felix can’t cook together unless other members are involved. It was nice seeing your mum. Sorry for the huge comment, hope some of the info helps.

So it's 3racha because in hangeul it's written as 쓰리라차 which sounds like Sriracha. If you look at 3racha's emblem, they have the rooster like Sriracha. They talk a lot in their songs (3racha specifically) about how 3racha is a flavor you'll crave more of, their lyrics are like a spice off the Scoville charts, things like that. After that the DanceRacha, VocalRacha, BaboRacha etc just kinda became their own things as well 🤗

Have your mom react more to stray kids

This was so fun! I noticed that you enjoyed them hanging out in smaller groups, and while it is more chill/food based content, I think you might enjoy the Mysterious Kitchen series (my favorite is episode 2: https://youtu.be/f5nwO_vsPEk)! You get to see Lee Know, I.N. and Han goof off in the kitchen and it really brings out many sides you don't get to see often!

I thought Chan had big dad energy when he stuck his hand under Han's mouth as if he wanted Han to spit the garlic into his hand. 😂 😂

This was really cute. I don’t know if anyone’s mentioned it but this trio is part of 3retcha, they live together with Changbin, so they are all really comfortable together. To answer the question regarding if anyone pops into the studio, yes. The song they were playing was Hyunjins for the new SKZ record he is putting out. He has the 4th highest number of KOMCA credits after 3racha and wrote and composed DLMLU, Red Lights , Taste (Chan did the track that he composed over) and several of his own songs. He is becoming a pretty fixed person in the recording studio with them.

omg yes that racha log was fun :)

Glad to hear it. She enjoyed herself!

Thanks for hanging out Ellen! Nice to meet you! I really enjoy these Racha Vlogs, and I'm glad you enjoyed watching them too. I'm hoping the next one they release is Lee Know and Changbin together, since Lee Know dropped a teaser picture of him and Changbin canoeing.

Fun to see your mom on the stream! If you’re searching for an uncut to do and think this type of content would be good, the three youngest- Felix, Seungmin, and I.N also have one of these!
