Stray Kids' Chan & Felix w/ Eric Nam + Maxident Songs (Livestream Recording: 1.5 Hours)

Thanks for watching. If you liked Taste than you will probably like another song Hyunjin wrote and composed with Chan (Hyunjin wrote and recorded the demo for Taste, passed it to Lix and Lee Know and they added their magic and now we have Taste) it’s called Red Lights. I think you will really like it a lot.

This was really fun to see. Chan is really interesting in interviews for me. He has much more of a 'work mode' on in interviews, he's usually with the others, sometimes he's translating, he makes sure they're answering the questions and promoting what they need to promote, he checks everyone is being included. In this interview where it's just him and Felix he has less of a job to do and also less members to play off/around with. Chan often sits back and watches/follows his members so I think he gets a bit nervous when there is more focus on him as a person. There's that slight responsibility there to 'perform' or make sure he's entertaining which is why I think Chan seems to match Eric's cues and vibes well. Chan feels more like he's 'on' whereas Felix feels a little more like he's aware he's in front of a camera but he'd be acting more or less the same even if it wasn't there. And as for 3racha, Chan and the others listen to a lot of grime which is where the UK influence comes from I think, Chan actually got noticed by Skepta after referencing him in an awards show rap performance a few years ago. (My brit self is very happy about that.)

I put this on in the background while I was working. I always enjoy listening to your commentary and of course love SKZ. But I got emotional at the end! Those unit tracks are some of the best they've ever done!!! In particular, Lee Know's dancing is so spectacular that his stage presence is usually the emphasis, but a more R&B vibe is right up my alley and I was incredibly happy to hear his verses stand out because only 3ppl were on the track and then I was able to enjoy it with you at the same time while watching the video. 💕💕 I'll cherish the memory. Also, here's another vote for Han on Lee Mujin Service on YouTube. It's an interview AND performance. You'll be blown away.

Great reaction!! I really think it would be such an insight for you if you were to watch their survival show. To see them predebut is very eye-opening, especially when it comes to how Bang Chan’s time spent at JYP affected him, as well as how much they’ve all improved in various ways. For me, the wildest thing was seeing how meek Lee Know was for a lot of the show—I know him as sassy, confident, a bold tsundere with the softest heart, but on the survival show I saw genuine fear in his eyes for the first time ever and it shocked me to my core. It’s an emotional ride but good context to have for the group as a whole and individual members as well!

Hey Max, the Stray Kids Puppy Interview happened today. Cuteness overload. In case you are interested.

Just another one to add that was released today - Kstar Next Door with Jonathan feat. Lee Know, Changbin & Felix. You can see how Lee Know can take charge of looking after the kids when Chan isn't around and how comfortable all 3 are once again in a smaller more intimate setting. It's always nice to see Lee Know more open in an interview. Changbin as always has plenty to offer and always seems to have a good camaraderie with interviewers. And Felix shows how honest he is just like we're used to. They also just came out with what will be a series exploring their friendship to see who will come out on top. It's called Finding SKZ Get Edition. So far theres one episode but you see some of the different combos of the kids partner up which is fun to watch Their chemistry is heart warming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzGiUWimEqc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zt2Aa5QAIlM

You have to watch Stray Kids Idol Theatre. It's gold.

Hey Max, could you add this video to the Stray Kids playlist/folder please ☺️

I think you would enjoy watching Han Jisung on 'Lee mujin service', it’s a show on YouTube where the host and singer, Lee Mujin, talks to different idols about their lives and music and then they sing live as well. Han was a guest on ep 32 which dropped on Tuesday and I think you should definitely react to it when you have the time. Here's the link: https://youtu.be/OE9BfiiMSrU

Thank you! Will look into this one.

Max Beaumont

That's really cool to hear, Jessica. I appreciate the love. They're amazing guys, no doubt. May have to check out the weekly idol ep... appreciate the recommendation.

Max Beaumont

I came back to this post to recommend it and I saw that you beat me to it! Such an explosion of cuteness!

Ericka

Maaaaax if you have time something very precious just came out. it’s Bang Chan and Felix cooking with Will and Ben (Sam Hammington’s kids). A bit of context: They’re half Australian and Sam is close with Chan. Actually the boys call Chan “uncle Chris” and often text him, he visits them etc <3 https://youtu.be/q56KI6HZl24

Loved this video, Max! There is definitely a strong appreciation for how you react and dissect Stray Kid videos for sure. You're my favourite person to watch because you're not just focusing on the surface of these guys, you really take time to understand each one and how they interact as a team. I'm only a relatively new fan of these guys but with every video I watch of them the more I grow to love them; there's always more to learn. They recently just came out with a new Weekly Idol episode (they have several) and they're asked to rank each other in certain scenarios which I think you would enjoy. Once again, thank you for this content you're a legend :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvT-GEeXv48
