[Tier 3] SKZ - Freeze (MV, Dance Practice, Making Film)

Oh do we have a surprise for you all XD and not the kind you expect.

We NEVER listened to the OG track of Freeze, or maybe we did but we were dumb enough to NEVER realize how it ENDS.

We're checking out three videos today, so we're gon keep this short. Surprises are meant to be discovered by yourself anyways. XD Got lots to talk about, lots to unpack, so enjoy.

And of course, we do want them good links for Lonely St. (maybe the MV+Making film combo, cuz we're pretty sure it exists?!), or if not much, for Muddy Water as well! :D

Questions are welcomed as usual.

Love <3

Yeah Changbin said that Freeze ended that way because they wanted to do something that would irritate people. 😂

you felt the differences than other dance practices cause this is more like stage practice. They set up this dance for their perfomance in Golden Disc Awards 2023 (this practice video also was released after that perfomance). Their 2023 GDA performance was so grand and iconic too (especially LeeKnow's shirt zipper!! it's the MVP fighting the whole night =))) so you guys definately should check it out : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQGc9ScESIw

Do it, lady! (react to your prior reactions)

You actually have seen this choreo before when you watched the Lollapalooza performance!

In the mv it's more than just them being on the opposite side and I.N being the spy. SKZ are playing undercover cops, so I.N is a cop/detective while also being the mob boss.

Yes, Freeze feels like it needs another run of the chorus but if you play it on a loop it's perfect. While we all know they all sing and rap; technically the rap line is Changbin, Han, Hyunjin and Felix. The vocal line is Chan Seungmin, Lee Know Han and I.N. Han has been part of both lines since Day 1 with Hellivator. Everything is a blend since Lee Know, Hyunjin and Felix are the dance line. It's just cool that they were always expected to be just as good at rapping and/or singing as they are at dancing. From what I remember, outside of 3RACHA, fans pre-STAY came up with the names for the other two Racha's and the members and staff went liked them and went along. I think Hyunjin shines through all of Oddinary. His rap and vocals are key highlight is songs like Maniac, Venom and Freeze. I think him going on hiatus during Kingdom really make 3RACHA determined to show JYPE that Hyunjin (like everyone else in the group), is an integral part of the group and they need all 8 to truly be SZK at their best and most unique. That may have been a hard thing to sell to some of the execs the company when we know 3RACHA does the guides and can perform whole song with just the three of them. They performed at the global festival in NYC in 2023 alone because 3 members were in a little banged up from being in a fender bender and needed rest at home. Chan, Changbin and Han performed Topline as their closing song and you could not tell that it's normally done by 8 people.

Yesssssssss ! HS reacts !!!

jajajaj Leeknow was laughing because Chris forgot a part of the choreography. Just as they are panning close to Leeknow all of the members and dancers did a dance move with their hands up and chan I think forgot and just played it cool...jajajajaj I think that was it...

Eillen Garcia

I'm pretty sure lee know was laughing in the practice vid cuz at 10:37 chan and han messed up the choreo lol

Okay, you know what I don't think I've ever actually seen the choreography for freeze. Lol hyunjin in his Draco malfoy era. Honestly, stray kids would make a believable gang for me. That's interesting. I had to go back to hear what you said because I thought you said it ended with bitch, and I'm like that doesn't make sense, but you said bridge 🤦🏾‍♀️. Yes, you should have done an HS React, because I love when you guys do that. Yeah, no I definitely have never seen this dance practice video. Oh wow Yeah, Chan's part in the course definitely does sound like mukkamnuri. I loved the choreo. Wow. Some men need to be careful saying that because we will run into his arms for sure. I don't think he was that cold. Because apparently Chan runs really warm. My goodness, I cannot wait for y'all to get to the killing voice because it is so good.

HS reacts to HS is always a good time! Lee Know slays me in this track. I wasn't very familiar with who each members was etc, but him in a suit and long coat, just belting with power... oooo boy. I love how intense he is in this shoot. The others just ooze charisma - but Lee Know really could be a mob boss lol. LOVE that I.N was the one haha, so on brand for him to be the 'leader'.

Tristana Keauna

We said that there were a lot of talks about Killing voice in the comment section for the previous vid because that's when the KV vid dropped XD, aka when we posted the previous video! So not yet but it'll be soon :D

HS

Hey HS - at the 0:16 mark, you're talking about SKZ's Killing Voice performance.....and it sounds like you say "We posted the video." Did you mean you posted your reaction to the Killing Voice video? If yes, I don't see it anywhere....?

20:10 - For anyone confused by the SNL (Saturday Night Live) comment that was made, Changbin's famous "jutdae" speech from SKZ Talker became a viral meme in Korea. It was later parodied on SNL Korea by Hwasa of Mamamoo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRIUs8H6hNM

WOW had NO clue. That's awesome

HS

Oh man if it was a deliberate move to continue the narrative of the MV, that's the best thing EVER XDXD

The choreography for Freeze was originally built for their 2023 Golden Disc Awards performance. Freeze was not on the original setlist for the Maniac World Tour (which is why it didn't originally have choreo) but was later added to the setlist for the make up dates for the shows that were originally missed due to Covid (ie the Atlanta and Fort Worth dates) as well as the encore shows in Los Angeles. It was also added to their Lolla Chicago performance but without the full choreo performed. Golden Disc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQGc9ScESIw

I have to bring it up only because it's one of the funniest things I ever noticed about a dance practice, but everyone is wearing Adidas except IN, who is wearing Nike. I've seen ppl make jokes about this online, like "guess who didn't check the group chat" and whatever, which is admittedly very funny. But then when you think of it in the context of the MV where IN is the secret villain it was probably more intentional. But either way, it's just a funny little detail that could mean nothing or something. We'll never know.

Muddy Water stage from the Maniac Tour Osaka, but any from the Maniac tour are great https://youtu.be/l6ICaihtqZQ?si=pas7JA54YQvm_qCM I think most people will be suggesting the same thing for ‘Muddy Water’ and ‘Waiting for Us’ … and that is to check out the unit swaps from the 3rd Fan Meeting.. Unfortunately there are not a lot of good clips but I think these are close… Both Stage Swaps... Full both full stages good audio and can tell who is singing/ rapping but a little bit shaky at times and the image quality is a bit fuzzy… but same with all really. https://youtu.be/x894SI2He8U?si=VoGGCjYGUwAoXfno Muddy Water. This video is a shot from the screens so you get a bit better quality https://youtu.be/jcbfjSi5t5E?si=7LnKdY3ON12nUgBb Quality here is also really good for a fan cam https://youtu.be/vti6uyKhwhc?si=djRMim9lCOyVXpzA Waiting for Us. This is the full stage view so you can see who is singing which bit, the image quality could be better but I still think overall it is the best .. and the audio is good. https://youtu.be/3JSmxlmmWcw?si=5eWC8A8p26IDqbys This is the back to back of the original stage and the swap stage at the same time .. so you can see who switches with who when. https://youtu.be/7QmYc6uE4t0?si=90SWMK3oxdYpwaLh

Now that I think of it, Freeze’s chorus feels almost as minimal as Ceremony’s, which actually makes me like Ceremony even more. At first, I didn’t really think it was a typical skz style, probably because their more recent tracks had fuller choruses… Also, were they sponsored by Adidas in the dance practice? Since every member has at least one thing from them, lol.
