leeknow was asked about the military hiatus: "i think fulfilling the duty of national defense is natural. if i'm called to serve, i'll faithfully carry out the responsibility. we haven't discussed about any albums or promotion plans during the military hiatus but 𝙬𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙩𝙤𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚. there are so many fans waiting for us so we want to repay the love they've given us. if you wait for a moment, i'll be back soon"
💬: what's the biggest annoyance in your life?
🥟: honestly the biggest annoyance for me is my members. they're seriously so annoying. just annoying. group chats? annoying. phone calls? also annoying
💬: just name one member
🥟: seo changbin. just seo changbin. but we've both been busy lately. maybe i actually miss changbin hyung? the truth is, nothing really annoys me that much. i'm just saying this so they'll annoy me more!
😭😭😭 "hyungs! since i'm doing well now, so please don't worry about me and good luck on filming wanna one. everyone, please be happy! i love you *giggling while doing heart finger*" "is it like this?" 😭😭😭😭 https://t.co/1a3cqJ9LkF
changbin saying he never knew what loneliness felt like until he met the members and stay (and the time we’re apart)
seungmin being reminded of how thankful he is of the members and to not take anything for granted
hyunjin knowing there’s no such thing as eternity but still saying he wants to keep this moment and stay with us forever
chan sharing that his dad once expressed regret for letting his son take this path, but chan reassuring him (and us) that when he’s away from home, he has a new family in south korea
felix saying when he first got into kpop and went to his senior’s concert, he wanted them to recognize him in the crowd, too, so he knows how it feels to be stay, that he truly wants to see all of us
i.n saying the members come to him when he feels like he’s about to stumble, that through stray kids he learns so much about life and himself and that’s why he wants to protect this team
han wanting each of these moments together to mean something and hoping stay find these moments valuable and meaningful; that the word “forever” is too ambiguous for him so he’d rather put faith in stay bc when we’re with him he feels confident
leeknow admitting that 3-4 hours on stage is exhausting and that he falls asleep immediately when he gets home, but that when he’s up there, he doesn’t feel tired at all, and being so excited to share things with us that he couldn’t help but share how they’d been working hard on a comeback
stray kids love stray kids and stray kids love stays, we’re so incredibly loved ☹️🥺
🥟: "[...] i think one of our biggest strengths as skz is that we can all come together and perform on stage. all the members have a lot of affection and we're really close. that's why, this moment... there's nothing that lasts forever but i really want to give it my all and be with stay forever. both us and stay, we love each other right? we shouldn't have doubts for each other and i'll do my best to make sure that we continue to give and receive more love"
chan’s dad once said that he should've just not letting chan to go with this path, but chan took the opportunity to say that "no it was the right choice to send me" and to show to his parents that through this path, he gained a new family 😭😭😭😭😭😭
