💬: was there any ‘recklessness’ at the core of stray kids?
🥟: there was recklessness and there was also rebelliousness. since debut, our slogan that we've been using until now is ‘step out’. from the beginning, we're a team with a strong desire to break away from the established rules and processes. back then, we made a lot of attempts that made people think “they're releasing music like this?” “they're doing performance like this?”. we weren't a team that received the spotlight from the start and those words came from a very desperate place at that time. we desperately wanted to stand out somehow. there were times when we thought “is this right?” we clearly wanted to be different from anyone else but we didn't know if people would actually accept it. the response didn't come right away either. but now that we're doing our old songs and performances, they don't feel outdated and old-fashioned at all. i feel proud of that. especially because, rather than doing what was trendy at that time, we've always worked while thinking about our own music and our tomorrow.
💬: some people might tell you "you need to expand further" or "you need to show a new side of yourself" what do you think when you hear things like that?
🥟: there's no need for us to expand and we don't have the desire to expand either. becoming superstar is not my dream. i just want the team called stray kids to continue being recognized. that's enough for me. i think it's more cool when people continue to think “skz is just skz” the core of stray kids is something that can't be replaced by anything else. it's not about comparing ourselves to anyone and more about having the mindset of “we're just us” i believe there are things within us that can't be taken away in the first place, things that nobody can ever take from us.
Por favor, antes de que empiece la gala,
hoy Charlie Puth y Stray Kids van a coincidir por primera vez en un evento público.
Están en un mismo evento profesional, no en una situación privada. Si se cruzan, se acercan a saludarles o les presentan, lo normal es que por educación profesional se saluden. No creo que sea razonable esperar que se giren, le ignoren deliberadamente o hagan algún gesto de rechazo delante de las cámaras.
Si ocurre un saludo, no significa que hayan cambiado de postura ni que estén apoyando sus opiniones. Significa que están trabajando y comportándose con educación en un acto público.
Así que intentemos no interpretar cada gesto, cada mirada o cada segundo de vídeo como si escondiera un mensaje.
Hoy están allí para actuar. Disfrutemos de Stray Kids y dejemos que hagan su trabajo. Y recuerdo: es un acto público, no una situación privada deliberada.
skz member: here is a funny joke i will make with my friend because i love him very much and we can respect each other’s boundaries
other skz member: wow that is so funny! i love that joke and i love my friend
random person on twitter: Isn’t There Someone You Forgot To Ask ?
"I really respect you"
"You'd have aced school too, honestly"
"You'd have done well at anything"
"I hope my kid grows up like you"
THIS is what Changbin thinks about Chan, by the way 🤷
some of y’all are getting too comfortable analyzing 3rcha’s relationship with each other from these podcast episodes and forgetting your places as fans. you don’t personally know them so you have no right to speak for them at all.
what is it with stays and always trying to paint bin out to be the bad guy like god how many times do skz have to fawn about bin to get it in your heads.
people are insulting bn for saying "lack1ng humanity" when it's clearly jokes for being perfect on planning every details..
where are these people when bn compliment him
"i dont think anyone can understand me well except him"- chn to bn
knows your boundaries as a fans
I'm blocking everyone who spreads horror scenarios about when the members come back from military. "They will lose all their spark and come back conservative". I think it's kinda disrespectful to talk about it like that when they mentioned themselves that they struggle with it.
something I can’t wrap my head around is how kpop fans call Stray Kids “Stray Dogs” as an insult when that’s literally been used to stereotype and insult Asian people, while they’re also stanning Asian artists
@dimpleechan I'm an infp and I will change plans but not last minute when the other person is already there 😭. And if my friend did tell me they're already there then I would go of course
