They actually just split into 4 apartments with 2 each. Pairings are Bangchan with I.N, Hyunjin and Changbin, Seungmin and Felix and Han with Lee Know. They also shot the music video during the next episode, and released it to advertise the show, and build hype.

2024-08-05 07:43:49 +0000 UTCThe song was recorded way before the show aired, and the M/V was shot either during the show or afterwards, I'm not sure. They live in 2 separate dorms right now, everyone has their own room. The house arrangement is: Chan, Changbin, Jisung and Hyunjin / Minho, Felix, Jeongin and Seungmin (although people recently suspected Jisung and Jeongin might have switched, but that hasn’t been confirmed) Woojin was the oldest in the group (father/mother figure type of feeling). I think that might be one of the reasons why Chan acted a bit angry when Woojin left, with the other reason being making a promise towards the other members of sticking together and not being able to keep that promise. My thoughts on Woojin have shifted many times, but I like to think now that he wasn’t in the right place. He feels a bit off in the group, he isn’t as extraverted as the others and I feel like he cares about the members (I used to think otherwise) but he is not vibing with them. So when he started to notice the songs started to shape towards the other members more, he just decided it would be better for himself to leave the group. The only thing that went wrong were speculations that weren’t validated. I wish him the best right now and I hope he will become successful doing what he does now. Chan probably thought it would be hard to do everything on his own (because as you can see, the others were very immature back then), but Minho and Changbin actually stepped in to help him even more Minho as some father figure and Changbin more as a mother figure (and Hyunjin is also becoming more of a guide to the younger members). It is a good thing to not make your leader the oldest member, because they feel like they have to be strong towards the younger members. But if they are the oldest, they don’t have anyone to share their problems with (because they don’t want to bother/make the younger members sad) Like Golden Child’s Y said on Road to Kingdom “”Daeyeol hyung wanted to tell us we did great (he couldn’t because he was crying), but if you think about it, there is no one to tell him he did great or stuff like that” Daeyeol is 2 years older than Y and even 4 years older than the next member, so he basically has no one to really talk about how he is doing. I think one of the reasons why Stray Kids is such a powerhouse of a group is because everything they do is “in-house” made. Chan produces their songs, Jisung and Changbin write their raps (Hyunjin and Felix are doing it more as well), Minho creates the choreography (because he was basically a member of WEDEMBOYZ, not really but he trained with them) with other choreographers (Hyunjin and Felix are learning this more and more) and Seungmin chose by himself to search another vocal teacher because he didn’t like the way the JYP vocal coach made him sing. With all that passion and dedication, I think Jeongin will become a beast in the future as well (maknae learns from his hyungs a lot). Speaking about dedication, when Hyunjin was sidelined during Kingdom, he didn’t just stay at home and waited for his return, he actually used that time to master the way his body works to improve his dancing skills.
