Handsome New Year QnA Video

Hello everyone.

First off, HAPPY NEW YEAR (again).

Here's the QnA video for y'all to enjoy on your off times so that you can get to know us better, as well our channel, Kpop, and a lot of 'I didn't need to know this at all' information :D

Grab a drink, wrap yourself with your favourite blanket, and have fun listening to this absolutely chaotic conversation, reminding yourself that no matter what happens this year and what decisions you make, there will always be two sausages being dumber than you :)...

Okay bye. Love you. Bye.

- d'Some, Han-C, Somi, Cookie with love -

Hello salami friends! I came across your videos when they were recommended by YouTube while I was watching skz content. I immediately spent several nights catching up on your content for the artists I follow. Once you mentioned skz survival show and kingdom reactions would be on patreon, I signed up (as others this is my first and only patreon sub). I stay and enjoy your channel because I appreciate learning more about the music we love. I have always loved learning about the productions side of things, and I also do not know Korean (coincidentally I do know a lot of German, but would not consider myself fluent lol) so it is awesome to get translations and deeper explanations of it all! Also I would consider metal/rock my favorite and main genres, so I absolutely love when kpop groups experiment with those sounds as well! Hope you all are having a lovely start to your 2025!

⚡bayleen✨

:) Aw, thank you so much!! and yes! I certainly hope so! Sausage Fest would be epic, I think! :D

Estelle S

:') So moving that you dled the app just for us. Thank you :D More Woodz AND ATEEZ coming your way this year, as well as new groups and other fun stuff! Let's have fun together :D

Handsome Sausages

This is like the perfect summary of everything we loved to hear in this comment section. Thank you for appreciating our presence, our Korean/musician background and of course, our shared interest in Kpop. Cuz we also don't have many to talk Kpop with irl! :D This community is absolutely everything for that for us too so yay! Salami!

Handsome Sausages

:0 Is that actually a thing?! But totally agree with your collab ideas. Oof and def Four Tet. Four Tet would be awesome with ATEEZ sound for sure!

Handsome Sausages

Honored to be the first channel you joined Patreon for :') Here's to an even better 2025 together! :)

Handsome Sausages

:D It's great to hear that—we definitely want Sausage Fest to happen one day so we can actually chill together XD I'll try my best to convince Han-C to do covers again with me :D 2025 let's get it!

Handsome Sausages

SKZxATEEZ would be indeed an INSANE thing to see one day. Just imagine! :D

Handsome Sausages

I am thrilled for you both!!

J.A. Moore

Always appreciate your presence and all the cool info you give us, as well as this kind of awesome comments XD We're team Sausage for life as well :) So again, thank you <3 and really, Sausage Fest better happen some time it feels like!! So let's make it happen XD!!!

Handsome Sausages

I'm so happy someone else loves Videotape—even from Radiohead fans it's hard to hear that title come up as one of the favourites so this is really awesome! :D Thank you always <3

Handsome Sausages

Always appreciate the love and support <3 :D Thank you always

Handsome Sausages

We're pretttty close but not THAT close :D haha excited!!

Handsome Sausages

Happy New year! I came across your channel while I was looking for woodz related reactions. Then I saw that you were also reacting to ateez contents and music, which is the only group I follow beside woodz. So I had no other choice than subscribe here on patreon 😂😂because compared to all the other creators, your knowledge on music and ur analysis makes the reaction hundreds times more interesting ahah i have actually downloaded the app only for u 😂😂

Roxialocket 🧡💙

Happy New Year! I can't wait to spend another year in the sausage community! Why I do I watch you guys? That's a pretty loaded question. Well first you guys are genuinely hilarious and I love you guys' chemistry. You brighten my day with every single upload, watching you guys is one of the things I look forward to most after a hard day. Second, like a lot of people here have mentioned, because you guys have knowledge that I don't have about the Korean language and culture as well about music I find your content super informative. I love that I can get a new perspective on music/content I already love. There's also the fact that I don't have many people who I can talk about/experience K-pop content with in my life, so It's great to have you guys and the sausage community for that. I've been watching you guys since pretty early on in your journey, and I've loved very single moment Anywayyyyyssssss salami

Mikayla

Diplo bad. Diplo is a sexual assaulter. Honestly, the stuff Skrillex is putting out right now would probably go better with Ateez (see stuff like Selecta) but they also would go amazingly with Four Tet and Fred Again. Fred Again or Four Tet and Flowdan with Ateez would be absolutely amazing. Flowdan's flow would be amazing along with HJ and MG.

Kittens

"Salami" Why do I watch you? I love reaction videos that teach you something and feels genuine and fun, but with you guys, it is just fascinating because you follow the lore but also explain the music, lyrics, and culture, so it becomes educational but super fun It's my first patreon subscription, I was a follower before Patreon, and I really love this journey with you guys. You're amazing. Have a nice 2025

Yax Argonz

Happy New Year! I first liked watching you guys because I found it interesting to get the perspective of people who have some experience with music besides consumers of music (which I find the reaction-space is quite flooded with nowadays). Similarly I remember when I first (re)discovered Kpop in 2022, I remember I watched a MV-producer react to the SKZ Maniac MV and he had so much fascinating insight. Now a big reason is genuinely just your vibes. I love the chemistry between you two and you genuinely seem like some nice dudes Id love to hang out with. I would love to see more covers! Please HanC <3 I would be so interested in seeing your takes on some SKZ/Ateez songs

SaarCookie

Happy New Year!! Thank you for all the great content, insight and laughs! ...salami... Man I would love a future SKZ and ATEEZ collab, I still watch all the stages by Mayfly on Kingdom cause their chemistry and vibe was so just beautiful, music to my ears, and dance for my soul. Have a good one guys look forward to the year to come and seeing SKZ Live !!

EL Knox

I'm not quite done with the video - but I don't want to forget to answer your question: Short (TL:DR) answer: I watch you because of The Tortoise and The Hare by Stray Kids reaction. (iykyk) Long Answer: I binged all of the Skz reactions you guys had available when Skz found me in June 2023. TTATH reaction was the one that solidified a subscribe to the YT channel and then not long after, to Patreon. (I just tried to explain why that specific reaction was the one that convinced me, but I honestly can't put it into words....lol) I watch you guys because you're, as other comments said, genuine in your reactions, your friendship, and your interactions with us. I found you guys in August or September of 2023 and it was just after I had started stanning Skz (Stay since June 2023) so I found your thoughts on their production and music highly educational. They help me fully appreciate the music I enjoy and also further understand why I enjoy the music. Skz are exactly my niche when it comes to music and hearing you both break down the lyrics, structures, and production behind their music just makes the songs that much more enjoyable and meaningful. I also started learning Korean in Oct 2023 and so your breakdown of the lyrics and phrases is cool to learn and take with me on this language learning journey. :) Finally, I watch you guys because you both genuinely interact with us Sausages via comments or DMs and, as I followed others who don't, it truly means a lot to me that you both take time out of your schedules to do that. :) I'm a Sausage for life - or as long as you guys are making videos anyway lol. :) Happy New Year and here's to the Sausage Fest truly happening at some point!! :D

Estelle S

Hello handsome salamis! :D I'm so happy I found you and this community; you truly make my evenings and days off much more fun and enjoyable! I know I've said this in comments before, but watching your videos and streams feels like hanging out with friends. I only have one irl friend who also enjoys kpop, so it's really lovely to be a part of this community. And it's always fun to see your genuine reactions to SKZ and Ateez and all! I appreciate your perspective as musicians and as Korean people, but at this point I'm really here for the friendly vibes most of all. ;) Also, Han-C as a panda is too perfect. <3 And omg, D'Some, Videotape by radiohead is such a moving song and has been one of my favorites of all time, too!! I remember when it came out I was going through a tough time in my life, and I honestly think it helped me get through it (weird, I know, given the subject matter!). That song, along with Let Down and How to Disappear Completely are my favorite radiohead songs. Happy new year! I'm so there for the sausage retreat whenever it happens, whether this year or next or some other time in the future. I'll be sticking around for sure! :D

Tenby

Why I watch Handsome sausages because you’re funny intelligent in music and I’m stupid in music so I like to watch your videos so I can learn or even just watching u know …and I love your reaction in the variety shows and when there’s something isn’t understandable u explain it in easy way and entertaining ofc ….and the important thing here you’re jokes and you’re relationship together is so good..just funny handsome man’s 🤍🤍🤍👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 forever supporting you guys 🤍🤍🤍👍🏼👍🏼

Rawan

Oh when you guys decided to start reacting to Nmixx I was so happy lol every live performance they do is a new experience so even though they might not have a huge discography yet there’s plenty of content to explore! Looking forward to more 👍 you guys are the bestest

rlm66

Holy crap! I think it might be Hyunjin for SKZ, San & Wooyoung for the performance. I just love the way these boys move their bodies like.. 🤯💋 oops getting too far lol Thank you for being part of the community s.c.b <3

Handsome Sausages

Annnnd I couldn’t help myself 🤣🤣🤣 not as good as random salami though

readyXaimsXfire

I scored VIP Soundcheck for SKZ at Wrigley field, so I know EXACTLY what you mean!! I need allll the hype to keep me distracted and make the time pass more quickly (at least the snowy time here in the Mitten state 🤣)

readyXaimsXfire

In my previous comment, I forgot to say YAYYYYY you're going to see SKZ!!!! I am SO, SO excited for you!!! Are you up front? Or up in the nosebleed section? We need a full report during and after!!

J.A. Moore

Thank you for being the OG! :D We will never forget you Pauline! We hope you will also have a wonderful year full of joy :) Love you all <3

Handsome Sausages

:D We actually often feel the same way about things WE can't explain musically because we've been out of the scene for so long—so we totally get what you mean by us explaining things and putting actual words and terms to things you can only feel! That's why we are trying to pick up studying music again :') because we also want to be able to put a lot more things to proper words :D So here's to another wonderful year! <3 Thank you always

Handsome Sausages

Also absolutely love how you did the 'leave a like' thing at the end XD Not gon miss it, no, not us! XD

Handsome Sausages

And we love you kas! :D Hope you are getting some rest you deserve! Thank you for being part of this community <3

Handsome Sausages

It always feels so crazy when the Sausages tell us that it's the first time they sub to a Patreon :') Thank you so much <3 We will always stay silly and smart at the same time in an incomprehensible way that never makes sense XD We love you <3 happy 2025!

Handsome Sausages

:D We can answer right now. For me, yes, I do feel proud when I see how much people love Korean culture, especially if it's something I love as well in general. It's almost primitive I think XD Probably not as much as some may think, but it's definitely there, and it's cool to see myself feel that since I've spent the least time in Korea, technically speaking! :)

Handsome Sausages

And holy crap I ALMOST mentioned Muse as my dream concert instead of Coldplay so....YAY

Handsome Sausages

We said it ourselves, but YES. You CAN feel when a reaction is fake. You ALWAYS CAN. And what's the point—we want to have fun doing what we do. :) We're also blessed to have such a wonderful community full of kindhearted Sausages so thank you for being you <3 Happy 2025 !! :D

Handsome Sausages

I'm definitely getting Han-C to do a French intro for one of the Patreon vids XD We're happy to have you all who are just as passionate if not more about the groups we follow, and music in general <3 Thank you

Handsome Sausages

That's what we're here for :D We love talking to the Sausages, getting to know them, and sharing our passion together! :) We feel the same way—that we're chatting with our friends and geeking out together about music we love, and esp since we got a concert in June, it feels more so that way talking to the Sausages and trying to get to the D-Day without losing the hype XD Keeping that fire hot and burning until we all go and watch the concert! More info will be available, esp for merch, this year, as it WILL drop fairly soon now, and for realz now XD!

Handsome Sausages

This is so amazing :) We're honored to be the first reactor you got patreon for! We'll improve daily and try to provide fun info whenever we can when reacting, as we always tried to do before :D We're also counting days to attend their concert this summer so it's great to have the Sausages who are feeling the same way. It rlly feels like we're in this together, hyping each other and sharing our passion :) Much love <3 (And yes, COVER SHALL COME . HAN-C WE'RE LOOKIN AT YOU)

Handsome Sausages

Oh we do! I feel like we missed one of the last questions posted there (perhaps because we shot it before or something) but we actually had a chance to check out RM's newest album as well (not all but a few) and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. We may even do it separately so :D stay tuned

Handsome Sausages

Well it's nice to get a newcomer's perspective :D it's easy to forget about the newly joined Sausages because the community has been ongoing for years now so thank you for being part of this wonderful Sausage world and for sharing your thoughts <3 And since we see a lot of German Sausages here XD I realllly realllllly want to visit Germany again soon

Handsome Sausages

Note that this is us trying to contain ourselves XD and look how far we've gone with the Sausage lore haha. Perhaps we'll expand in 2025 to be even wilder and eventually create a lore video! XDXD

Handsome Sausages

YES. I agree Han-C's laughter is contagious AF!!! XD I'm sure many agree but dang his laugh is beautiful I admit XDXDXD My son!

Handsome Sausages

It's refreshing to hear a comment on the publishing structure and schedule :D Or well, it's really great to hear that because that's one of the key things we try to focus on because we despise being overloaded or disorganized and it's really easy to do that when you are posting everyday and following different groups! :) Happy 2025 <3

Handsome Sausages

It's supppppper interesting to hear that :D What would be our musical taste like outside Kpop?! We definitely need a subgroup to geek out on other genres together XDXD And yes, we also have close to zero when it comes to Kpop lovers irl, so the Sausages are our go to :) Best community ever

Handsome Sausages

Well, here's to 2025 and MORE regular groups to add to our list :D We're excited to discover new groups with you, and well, of COURSE Eunwoo would be there—if you think about it, it only makes sense XD! Much love <3

Handsome Sausages

This is so wonderful to hear :') If our silly jokes and back and forth brings even a drop of joy to your day, we are happy :) So thank you always our Aussie Snags Nicole <3

Handsome Sausages

Thank you :D Always thanks to you all we say :) Happy New Year!!

Handsome Sausages

:D <3

Handsome Sausages

XD Surprise has been REAL with the recent Ateez album though. WOW. I agree that this entire community is what makes HS amazing :D So thank you for being part of it and yes, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! :D

Handsome Sausages

Oh I'll let Han-C answer later on his own, but for me, my performance biases are probably Hyunjin and Seonghwa. It used to be a split between Mingi / San but nowadays...esp with Movement album, Seonghwa is on another level

Handsome Sausages

The short answer is already powerful ngl! XD but it's so cool to hear the long answer and realize how many people say they appreciate our knowledge—definitely makes us motivated to study more because we always say to ourselves that we are SO lacking in knowledge and that we should really restart music studies to make sure we meet the expectation :D So let's make 2025 even more amazing together! Woohoo

Handsome Sausages

You’re going to have so much fun at the ATEEZ show!!!

readyXaimsXfire

XD It's still a mystery let's be real

Handsome Sausages

Salami indeed :)

Handsome Sausages

XDXD Picturing Fubao is valid. Also, yes! Totally didn't realize but we only confirmed it in one of our recent streams and never did elsewhere :D So for a lot of ppl this would've been the first confirmation!

Handsome Sausages

XD That should be the tagline for our brand: "you never know what will come out of their mouths. Literally."

Handsome Sausages

We both speak French, but Han-C speaks it better! But I speak a bit of Spanish instead :) For being born in Germany, my German is nonexistent at the moment XD

Handsome Sausages

Running an imaginary scenario in your head to see if the other person is your kind is so relatable XD!! :D We love you just as much if not more so always thanks for providing us with wonderful info about upcoming drops, etc. and for sharing your perspectives! :) And your example with ATEEZ/AI is soo terrifying. That I do not wish to see EVER but....yeh, it's happening everywhere now

Handsome Sausages

:') It's moving to here that we can sometimes be a big part of your day <3 Thank you always!!

Handsome Sausages

Oh that's wonderful to hear!! THat's exactly what we're trying to achieve, to let people enjoy music regardless of taste because it has so much more than just 'the sound'! :)

Handsome Sausages

Community here is indeed GREAT! :D Thank to YOU all! :) Here's to another great year!

Handsome Sausages

Thank you for your support <3 It's how we can do this and we love sharing our love for music with like minded people like you <3 Happy New Year!

Handsome Sausages

We ALSO don't have anyone who's into Kpop culture so we feel the same way interacting with you :D <3

Handsome Sausages

Happy New Year everyone!!!! Just dropping a comment for "salami" lmao, but loving the QnA as much as the first one! It's funny to have been a part of this journey for so long, but yeah... having a nice time, always. Hope our Handsome Sausages will always do what they love and make the content that matters to them :) Hope that the Sausages are all blessed with a nice and comfy enough year hehe (for HS too by the way)

Pauline R

Love the Q n A. Since you said you're always serious, I'll answer your question of why I watch you. Number 1 is of course personality, if I didn't find your content to be enjoyable, I wouldn't have been watching for as long as I have. But more specifically, I like your music reaction content because of the background you have in music. While I enjoy music, I don't have any in-depth knowledge about it's creation, I don't play any instruments, at best I can read sheet music because I used to sing in choir at school and church, so when it comes to looking deeper into music (especially when there's a language barrier) I struggle to verbalize my thoughts about the music beyond 'vibes'. You are able to more clearly understand things, both because you speak Korean, and because you have a much greater understanding of music than I do. So I enjoy watching your videos reacting to music because you offer a perspective that I simply wouldn't ever really have access to. It's kind of like how you talk about the lyric videos sometimes being wrong because they're translating word for word, but sometimes don't have the culture context/knowledge to get the references/intentional wordplay that's happening. I can read translated lyrics and understand the surface level, but you give me an opportunity to appreciate the music with deeper understanding. As for non-music content, the SKZ-Codes, Wanteez, etc.- that's fun to watch because I enjoy those groups and because you're so clearly having fun too. While I could bully my sister or best friend into watching some of that content with me, it's more fun to watch with someone who wants to be watching it too. So it's just a nice fun thing, to kind of reexperience these moments with someone equally as interested in watching these idols have a good time.

Sallie Henshaw

Why do I watch Handsome Salamis? I absolutely love the vibe of your videos. You guys complement each other so well and I really appreciate getting professional commentary on the music production. It makes me appreciate the music so much more. Also, the fact that you guys are Korean adds SO MUCH value to your reactions, because you have so much knowledge of the culture, the language etc. and you share it with us, which is awesome and so, so interesting. I have already rewatched your Ateez reactions multiple times, because at this point it's just such comfort content for me. Absolutely love your videos, your humor and your friendship and I'm excited for all the 2025 content 🧡🧡🧡 (and YES, please do an Ateez cover?!) Happy New Year 🔥

Martina

happy 2025 salami boys <3 thank you for all the work you do and for amazing community you've created

kas

I found you guys during one of my music hyperfixations last year when I was binging reaction videos and I really appreciated your detailed and in depth analysis of the music and I learned a lot of new things. I stuck around for the fun happy vibes and this is also my first time subscribing to someone's Patreon so here's to another fun year with you all ❤️

Coco Nies

1. You're fun and intelligent 2. Music background 3. you seem genuine 4. i appreciate that you have a schedule and i get to get excited knowing what you'll be reacting to 5. Koreans reacting to Koreans is way more interesting to me because u understand so much more and I can learn a lot just by your reactions (ugh i should have asked if you feel proud when you see how much people love Korean culture, like is there a tribal pride that comes along with that, i've always wondered)

orly

SAUSAGE RETREAT! My friend said I was a red panda once. So I’d go with that as my animal character Enjoy that you guys point out why things are interesting musically. You often help me hear things I would miss otherwise. I think it’s clear when a song is going on to your playlists cause of how hyped you guys get 😊. I can tell you guys continue with what you enjoy and that connects with me much more. It’s always apparent when someone was maybe into SKZ for example but then goes off them but keeps watching for views. You can feel disingenuous reacts a mile away. Your chemistry is a key reason to watch. You can feel your friendship through the screen and you do a great job of bringing us sausages into the fold as much as can be done with strangers on the internet. The level of insight and extra knowledge you guys give us because of your Korean heritage is invaluable. I love getting to learn more accurately through you guys and even sometimes seeing how you react to certain interviews etc. for better cultural nuances. I started with you guys for your musical and Korean knowledge but stayed long term for your personalities 🫶🏻 So excited you guys are getting to see our boys this year! I find it hard to pick a favourite live show but Muse is up there and SKZ ofc. Love being in this little community and can’t wait to learn more and watch more with sausages in 2025!

Lilith Rain

This should have been a live ! I have so many follow up question ! Also can I please get a French intro once ? I'm here first because of the music / Korean knowledge, I listen to music but I don't know much about it, I just consume and decide to add or not to my playlist. It's great to get more information about the structure, lyrics, instrument, deepness, emptiness or wetness of the music ! I also really like the way you speak about things and it's great to find people who talked about things they love, you guys are like my tv show I look forward to your post and added comment on the content.

Sasha Amani

Ok, I apologize that this might be long. 1. Thank y’all for always taking the time to really answer, not only the questions I submitted, but all of our questions in general. A lot of creators/reactors don’t do that, so that really sets y’all apart and makes all of us feel more welcome and more a part of the group. 2. I cannot unsee Han-C as a panda now and I am here for it! 3. I will pay so much money to see a collab between GD and Hongjoong, it’s not even funny. 4. I feel like D-Some picking Yunho for the desert island was super smart because you know Mingi would have you guys saved it like 2.5 seconds right?! That man cannot survive without Yunho! 5. Cha Eun Woo as the front of the group cracked me up so much because absolute truth! He wouldn’t have to do anything but stand there and just be Cha Eun Woo. 6. salami 7. I love, LOVE that you answered my question, (and the one I was most hoping you would answer), with a question….so the reason I watch your channel is because of two reasons that co-exist together. Y’all feel like friends, like I have known y’all forever and we’re hanging out checking out music and just having fun but I am also learning so much about the music from y’all because you have the knowledge base for it. So it’s like gaining insight, in a fun way, from my friends. 8. You are the first people I have “met” who are like me and kind of turn away from music during “tough periods”…like you don’t use music to get through things, but you find music again on the other side of it…so I was really surprised, pleasantly, by that. 9. I need the merch and the retreat sign-up info STAT. 🤣🤣 Happy New Year y’all! If you read through this whole comment, leave a like.

readyXaimsXfire

why do i watch you guys? well, started because you guys seemed genuine in being pretty neutral when it came to the music, but also loved how in depth whether it was more on the structure side or lyrical side of things that definitely got me going "yeah, i should probably keep an eye out, this is interesting and cool as heck" ended up staying for the fun vibes, the covers (han C im looking at you rn! x3) and actually you were the first time i ever decided to get patreon for reactors and i still think to this day that it was the best choice i made as a part of my personal journey with skz: i already always look forward to their music but your reactions and analysis add to it. like you guys have been part of my routine. thank you so much for everything and happy 2025 to you guys! (looking forward the bounce back cover, right han C? xD)

EzzyMoon

I want to add, if you are into Balming Tiger, do you know any of RM's new stuff and if not you should check it out. :)

Lina

This was very interesting to me as a quite new follower. I am even more curious about your biographies now (especially as a German). 😄 I came to your channel because of Xdinary Heroes and to Patreon to follow the Ateez journey as I am preparing for the concert. I particularly enjoy any input on Korean language and culture I wouldn't have known otherwise.

Lina

😅To answer your question.I watch handsome sausages because 1. You guys are hilarious and so unpredictable in the things you say (daddy D-some and Han C-section)😂...you guys make my day 2. There are times when I'm listening to songs and I can't quite figure out what I'm hearing in the background and you guys point out and explain those parts so beautifully .I really enjoy your analysis on music

Mbalienhle 🌸

The reason to watch Handsome Sausages 1. The way you guys communicate, talk about music genre/ elements, and the laughter of Han C😂 2. By watching your reaction, I know more about Stray Kids of their music creation

Ace 0307

Thank you for the Q&A I always enjoy learning more about you two! I’ve never cared to watch reaction videos before but I found your channel when someone shared your reaction to Jjam! I thought it was hilarious and I decided look at a few more of your videos and since then I’ve watched all your Skz reactions because they’re so enjoyable! My other reasons why I enjoy your content is your genuine love and understanding of music and the fact that you’re both Korean to help explain lyric translations and cultural context. Lastly, I find the way you put out content in a nice organized manner with consistency but not overloaded, and having the discord community/live streams. It’s just all fun to be able to enjoy it all together. So thank you, looking forward to 2025 with you both ☺️

Nuuie

I started following you pretty early, before your first Ateez reaction, bc of skz, and since then almost every artist you've reacted to consistently is someone I also love. (Also d'some and I seem to have very similar musical tastes outside of kpop.) Your humor makes sense to me, your cultural explanations are very appreciated, and you point out little things in songs I missed. It's nice to have someone to feel like I'm sharing my favorite groups with, because my only irl kpop friend likes very different artists from me (we made a pact at the beginning of 2024 to get into each other's ult groups - I managed to fall in love with Joohoney and no one else in MX, and he now loves San's complete disregard for shirts and that's as far as we got). So like, at least I have the sausages! And salami :)

A C

I started following initially because you guys were the first reactors I came across that had experience in producing music and I felt like not only did I learn a lot that I didn’t know but I finally felt like 3racha was getting the analysis, understanding, and props they deserved. Most reaction videos don’t focus on the musical/production aspect and it was so refreshing and validating to hear you point out just how genius they are. I didn’t expect you guys to go and start from the very beginning of SKZ and just ride this long journey out but I’m so happy you did because it’s brought a lot of laughs and enlightenment to my life. Your easy-going humorous personalities kept me hooked. And I love that you’re bilingual and explain lyrics to us as well. I am actually a fan and very grateful to have your channel to run to. Lucky for me, you loved ATEEZ too lol As always thank you so much for putting so much time and effort in for us, seriously. I never saw Eunwoo coming 😆 That was great 👏🏻

rlm66

Thank you for this. To answer your question to us, as to why we follow you. Personally, I was just going through reactors on YouTube when I first got into Skz and you guys just stood out. It's you in depth analysis of the music, sources, and your insight into the music industry. It made me appreciate Skz even more than I initially did. Yes, obviously I liked the music, but hearing from people who have and do work with music, gave me an appreciation that I didn't previously have. It made me see that they are so much more and have so much more talent than many other artists that I've listened to since I was a kid. Aside from the music knowledge, it was you guys and the fun you have when reacting to their music, especially when something is particularly good, and their variety show content. The emotions through the Survival show, the joy watching all the groups in Kingdom and you two just genuinely having a fun time watching them, like we all have had. The banter between you both as well, is so good! I am often laughing so much while watching things with you guys. I've actually watched some things twice. It's kinda my go to thing when I'm feeling a bit shit. So thank you for sharing a little bit of yourselves with us and I can't wait for what this year brings us!

Happy new year! In addition to just being fun to watch, your music/industry knowledge and how you breakdown songs is always super interesting, I also always appreciate the language and culture explanations that come up - thankyou!

Learned a lot.

It’s always a good time when i see you two upload a video. Whether it’s on YouTube or here on Patreon. I found you both completely by accident in a random SKZ doom scrolling on YouTube moment. From there it was a done deal. I found you both very funny and also loved how you react to music with a neutral mindset. I like hearing you both talk in depth about the music and the logistics behind the songs. Hearing a different perspective of songs and artists I enjoy is a treat. Especially if we surprise you along the way (which has happened a few times lol 😆). Honestly to me, this whole community that we are all apart of is an amazing experience. Let’s continue to just enjoy and just be. Happy New Year!! 🥰

I found your channel when I was just getting into kpop and ateez, so I really appreciate the music and lyric knowledge you bring to the reactions (along with your humor and community). As someone who doesn't have much muscial knowledge or know any korean, it really makes me appreciate music more, both for kpop and for non-kpop. Loved learning a bit more about y'all and hearing your takes on the questions! A bit of a follow up, but I'm curious who your performance biases are for ateez and skz? I definitely recommend seeing ateez live in the future. I saw them in Toronto this summer and they were absolutely amazing! A G-Dragon, Hongjoong, Bang Chan collab would be absolutely crazy in the best way possible. I do love me some salami.

s.c.b.

Short answer: because you're both amazing and I enjoy watching you interact* with the music/shows and the perspectives you each bring to the reactions. Longer answer: Initially because every time I'd watch a new video, I felt like I was learning something either about the lyrics (pretty sure I found you when looking for an explanation of TTATH) or the structure of the song you were reacting to and your energy is contagious. That is all certainly still true, and I appreciate that even when there's something that isn't quite your thing, you can point out what it's doing musically and why it works (or doesn't), but what keeps me here is probably your attitudes toward all of it. It is easy to see the effort you put into making this a good experience and respecting the intention behind the released track, even if it's not to your taste. While I'm not a fan of salami, I do understand not listening to music when sad. I tend to always have SOMETHING on, but I definitely go with things that are more along the lines of lofi or down tempo - no lyrics, nothing that it popping up on a playlist will immediately take me back to that time and mental state, if that makes sense? Happy it's a little easier to throw on a song or playilst, but true joy... kind of the same as when I'm sad. I don't want to tie it too strongly to a specific song, so I lean toward things that don't have lyrics. *that's not the word I want, but I'm not coming up with the right one. mea culpa.

When they said Panda all I thought was "0 survival instincts" lol

Thank you for explaining the shoes, now I find them even more endearing =D

Tristana Keauna

Thanks for sharing this! Also, salami?

Alex Roland

when you said Han-C is panda i immediately thought of Fubao😭 i remember the first time i watched a HS video, i got hooked immediately and binged the entire SKZ playlist in one night! i love the analysis and details you guys point out and your own ideas from experience. Han-C’s Supergroup is TOO OP. might I add Lim Wooyoung, and BOOM all of the ajummas will be behind the group. ALSO HS CONFIRMED GOING TO DOMINATE TOUR!!!! IM SO EXCITED FOR YOU GUYS!! i hope i get to run into you guys at one of the stops.

Olivia

I started watching because of your knowledge in the music industry and music production side and found it interesting how you breakdown songs, but i STAY because of your hilarious opposite personalities! You never know what will come out of your mouths and I find that fun!

Tracie Phillips

I watched it all while eating chocolate covered pretzels, did not have any salami. Follow up question, besides being fluent in Korean and English, what other languages do you speak? I’m guessing a good bit of French given where you live? (And you mentioned it) but I wondered if anything else?

Q. Why do I watch you? A. Because I like you guys. You're smart, very funny, a pleasure to watch when you're reacting to something, and very insightful when it comes to analyzing the vocals and music. Also, I always appreciate when you translate and give us cultural context for Korean lyrics. And it helps that you're both cute, too. Lol. But honestly, I just genuinely like you both. I have this weird thing where I decide if I'd want to meet someone by imagining us all at a BBQ or a campfire on the beach, eating, talking and drinking. If I can imagine us doing that and being comfortable, I know you're my kind of people. And I can totally imagine that with you guys. Q: re: AI-generated music - yes or no? A. If it's LABELED as AI, then I'm OK with it. But if it's passed off as being "real" and being sung by actual people, when in fact it's not, I am seriously against that. Also......re: AI......I read an article recently that said someone was trying to pass off a chance to win a "fan call" with ATEEZ, and it was only when fans checked the details of the offer that they discovered there would not be any actual ATEEZ members involved. Rather, their images during the fan call would be AI-generated. Considering how much fans pay for those fan calls, the whole thing was very annoying. And I had to wonder if it was even approved by the company or by ATEEZ themselves. I honestly don't want to see AI being used for that, whether it's by one of the real companies or a third party. Here's the article: https://www.allkpop.com/article/2024/12/will-fans-embrace-ai-generated-k-pop-fan-calls

thank yall for this!! and to answer your question as to why i watch yall its because i am always learning something new with each video. i know little to nothing when it comes to music so the breakdowns are always fun. then there’s the language/ culture barrier. your explanations on lyrics or even why this was done on that episode of whatever helps a ton! and lastly yall are genuinely hilarious to watch!! i am always looking forward to your uploads and am always laughing with yall! it’s sometimes the best part of my day so thank you for everything!! salami🫶🏻

21:15 My number one reason is because I love music and like to hear other people's thoughts about music, especially people who have more knowledge on the production side. I've learned so much about how to listen to everything in a piece and it has allowed me to appreciate the work and the artists that much more. You've also added cultural and language context which I would not have understood by just reading translations. Also, it is very sweet to watch your friendship as you explore these artists' works and personalities. It's the fact that you both keep the conversation about the work itself and what you find interesting about it that has allowed me to enjoy music more, even songs that aren't really my style or songs I wouldn't revisit, I can still find something I like about them and continue to maintain a positive environment. So thank you both for that! Salami?

your name here

I love Kpop, but I only stan SKZ. So generally I love watching reactions to SKZ contents but then again I don't follow a lot of reactors. I enjoy watching yours because of your personalities. I also don't know a lot of the music terms and etc, so I'm learning a lot. Understanding more the korean lyrics is also a plus. The community here is great too, and its thanks to you guys.

Sandy Cai

I honestly don’t remember how I found you guys but I’m so happy I did. I love watching your content because I like seeing people react to stray kids content that I’ve already seen, and I don’t have very many people I can share those videos with, so it’s nice seeing your reactions and I get the dopamine rush as if I showed it to a friend IRL. also AYYYEEE SHINHWA - I PRAY 4 U mentioned! they were my first idol group I fell in love with I think? does anybody remember the last time they ate salami? I think I had it on Thanksgiving in my charcuterie board. 🧐 thank you for posting this video! can’t wait to continue through 2025! ✨ happy new year

Your knowledge and perspectives were the main draw for your videos and that continues to re-establish itself for me all the time. I stayed for your personalities and humour but every time you really dive into the little details on a track or explain nuance in the Korean lyrics i'm reminded of how much i value what you have to say. I'm also really glad i'm able to be here on Patreon knowing that most of your youtube videos aren't monetized. I'm so happy to help support your content.
