Experiencing Emotions

[kat_lair]

***

pushkin666, dreamersdare and I are counting down the days for The Holiday with August Advent Calendar. This is day 2, and we're back on the 'small Korean boys give Kat emotions' theme.

Listen. This. The call-backs. I am particularly overcome by

• Changbin and Jeongin with their hands on Jisung's shoulders
• The clip from Lonely St of Hyunjin in the glass box (that one hurt)
• Felix and Jusung with the wings, which cuts to the choreo from Spread My Wings performance vid where Seungmin and Hyunjin make wings at Chan's back I AM SOBBING SHUT UP   
• The ending with the mics and stage boysss

Watch on YouTube

Whenever I see your Stray Kids posts I grin like an idiot... and then wish desperately to be this much in love with a fandom again. ♥

I am glad that my emotional breakdowns are proving amusing :D And I hope you will find a new fandom to fall in love with soon!

[pushkin666]

Gonna watch this later, when I'm in bed and am looking forward to it. Will comment further after watched :D

[kat_lair]

Have you watched it yet? There's a lot of call-backs to older vids and songs so probably hits different once you are familiar with the discography.

[pushkin666]

Oh yes, I watched it a couple of times at 6.30am this morning. I enjoyed it a lot, and yes I recognised some of the older vids and songs from it but probably not as many as you and DD :D

I don't know much about Stray Kids but that was great. :D

[kat_lair]

Dangerous words... Because I am very liable to drop vid recs in front of you like a cat bringing questionable treats :D

[bluapapilio]

I think I'm okay with that. =]

You've done it now... As most of the groups, they produce A Lot of various kinds of content that can get overwhelming fast. I don't even pretend to keep up with it all.

Very Brief history: Formed via a survival show, debuted in 2018 with 9 members but one left a couple of year's later (it was a whole thing), self-producing, full of all-rounders (everyone is good at everything really) but divvies up to
3racha = Bang Chan (leader), Seo Changbin, Han Jisung - the production trio
danceracha - Lee Minho, Hwang Hyunjin, Lee Felix - the main dancers
vocalracha - Kim Seungmin, Yang Jeongin - the singers

They have an extensive discography that spans a lot of genres but I'm working very hard at not just like listing every single MV here so, let's go with a small sample...

Scars. This is a Japenese release and since you liked the above song, you might vibe with this one.

Chk Chk Boom - Their latest title track, includes some notable cameos of their celebrity fans.

God's Menu - Their breakout hit. Tends to be the first one most newcomers encounter.

I'm... going to stop myself there lol. If you genuinely want more links/want to know more (absolutely no pressure!) then I am happy to provide. And if you have a particular style of music you vibe with I'm happy to rec songs in that vein too!

[dreamersdare]

Oh, I see. Coming for the feels with the nostalgia now, are we? This tracks.

(I had very similar responses to yours, with bonus blindfold, and cinema soft boys moments)

[kat_lair]

The 'there is no last STEP OUT' had me clutching my heart.

Yes. Blindfolds. A choice.

[bluapapilio]

Thanks for these! Scars and God's Menu were my favorite, the Ryan/Hugh cameo surprised me in Chk Chk Boom! If you have the time I wouldn't mind a few more. =)
