Added 2024-12-12 01:01:35 +0000 UTCTell me you didn't see this one coming.
Dare tell me you didn't.
:D Just like SKZ is blessing us with gifts, we got tons coming our way here for y'all to have fun with so let's countdown together (seems like yesterday and it's already....another countdown....though it actually is very soon so that makes everything crazier...but I digress) and be excited for everything that's to come!!
Nuff said. Let's get to the video! :D

According to Jbach, it was written on the same day as "I like it", in january of this year.

2024-12-16 14:12:32 +0000 UTCI was at the Bangkok concert, they didn't perform "Walking On Water" but we got an A Capella snippet of it and it was awesome!

2024-12-15 15:36:39 +0000 UTCI don't think they meant U was a 3RACHA era song. Just that 3RACHA, the production team, wrote the song. Like, in the last couple years. It's not 8 or 9 years old.

2024-12-12 13:33:16 +0000 UTCI would love to hear Changbin's hallucination! I want to hear original Bounce Back too! I hope one day they do the same thing BTS did where they released their anthology album that contained a bunch of demos and alternative versions. There was some great stuff on it.

2024-12-12 09:25:03 +0000 UTCI see you've gotten a lot of answers about the dissected meaning of the HOP symbol. I just love how they think about so many details and how nothing's left to chance. I still feel like U is going to be on repeat for me. Seeing how much Seungmin put into it made me even more excited for it. Him just not feeling happy about it and wanting a do-over is so relatable. I also find it interesting to see Chan (Changbin too) handling that w/him, when you know from earlier intros that Chan is just the same with his own recordings. I'm still unable to rank the solo songs. My favourite changes several times a day. The one that caught my eye first during the concerts was I.N's. Han's has grown the most on me with seeing him perform it several times and his emotions when he talks about it. But yeah, I'll have all 8 on rotation depending on my mood and the time of day. I love how they're all so different from eachother. I have to admit that I am curious about Changbin's original "Hallucination", tho.

2024-12-12 05:39:04 +0000 UTCAgreed, the first thing I thought when I saw it earlier. Those things comes and goes, tho. Several of them had a bad bout of the cold a few weeks back. Around their Macao concerts, I believe. It was probably filmed during the same time.

2024-12-12 05:26:48 +0000 UTCI'm so behind on all of SKZ's content that I just wait to watch it with you guys and you really surprised me with how fast you uploaded it, thank you 🫂 I always enjoy watching the Intro videos but this one in particular makes me more excited for the album. I think this comeback is going to be a bit different because there won't be Music Shows like usual. Also the boys will be traveling to Bangkok in a few hours because they have a concert on the 14th. So maybe there they'll perform "Walking On Water" for the first time...? I just know, that us STAYS, are very spoiled because of all the content we receive, so let's enjoy the end of the year with SKZ! ❣️

2024-12-12 05:23:31 +0000 UTCFor the HOP logo if you highlight certain parts of the character in order it reads as 八命合一心, “8 lives united as one heart.” As someone who reads some Mandarin it’s really clever and pretty! Here is a link to an explanation/image on twitter: https://x.com/hyunetism/status/1857402508613709955?s=46&t=B88_-aaQOVPMMDH2_EXP2g

2024-12-12 04:17:53 +0000 UTCI waited to watch it with you guys! Thanks for doing it so fast. ❤️

2024-12-12 04:10:29 +0000 UTCThe HOP symbol = 8 Lives United (as) One Heart [credit to sunshine.is.just.mine on Instagram]

2024-12-12 04:10:07 +0000 UTCWe've actually noticed that with SKZ Code as well! We assumed that may be because of it overlapping with tour dates, but seeing the same thing here def made us feel like maybe something's up??

2024-12-12 04:08:35 +0000 UTCThis particular vid was done by the man himself XD so let's ask him what was up hahaha
Handsome Sausages
2024-12-12 04:07:13 +0000 UTCThe strokes mean "8 lives united as one heart". As was mentioned in the Intro, the album is about their unity and harmony.

Star Dust
2024-12-12 03:36:28 +0000 UTCA little bit, yes. But he also mentioned recently that he's been having trouble with his voice and speaking out and is going to a doctor about it. I think it may be partially that too. Being sick is probably putting strain on vocal cords that are already struggling.
Star Dust
2024-12-12 03:33:21 +0000 UTCNow everytime you edit away from HanC, I wonder what he was doing that you were too embarrassed to show. 🤣🤣

your name here
2024-12-12 03:14:47 +0000 UTCWas looking forward to this as soon as the intro dropped. 💕 Thank you for being so quick! As always, your reactions are fun and the insight on the musical aspects is enlightening and interesting. Plus, I genuinely love that D'some takes notes even while fanboying 🤭 You guys are the best!

2024-12-12 02:45:14 +0000 UTCI also thought that han cut was so weird! It must've been a mistake haha

2024-12-12 02:42:53 +0000 UTCThat would make sense actually

2024-12-12 02:30:54 +0000 UTC@57:35 - you're talking about the symbol for the album, HOP, and how it has a certain meaning when you look at the different parts of the symbol. I saw the same post, and it was "8 lives united as one heart."

2024-12-12 02:20:54 +0000 UTCChan - 😶 (no comment, since that's what he gave me) Lee Know - I'm more hyped about Youth MV now Changbin - Can't get the image of him doing ULTRA choreography in the shower Hyunjin - He's so talented and he doesn't even recognize it fully - made the song as a joke--banger/Choreography is tough, grit your teeth & perform Han - I love him more now. His lyrics ALWAYS get me and his explanation made me want to give him a hug Felix - Everyone is deserving of love?🥹😭 Yes, my handsome prince. Seungmin - his growth has been my favorite and his voice brings me so much warmth and peace I.N - Knowing it was Changbin's song 1st had me floored but I'm thrilled to see our 아기빵 step out of his comfort zone
Jimika Shuler
2024-12-12 01:52:25 +0000 UTCAm I the only one who thinks Hyunjin looks like he has a bad cold in this video?

2024-12-12 01:34:08 +0000 UTCSweet I was just rewatching this on my own, now i can watch it with you guys instead.

2024-12-12 01:04:14 +0000 UTCOh I wondered if you would get to this today. Man, these next couple of days are going to be wild. I genuinely love how proud all of the members are of 3Racha. Okay, but how adorable does Han and changbin look in their fuzzy sweaters? 🤗 I wonder what he means by anesthesia? I also wonder if that means we're getting wrapped from all of the members. Because that would literally make my year. The way I have been saying that I really need rapper, Seungmin and Lee know to come back is crazy. I think it's hilarious that he's specifically said that because ever since I heard the mashup I've been saying it feels like an '80s '90s track with a little bit of 2000s in it and he literally just shut down everything I said and I thought that was hilarious. But it makes me even more interested to hear it. I feel like it's funny that they've decided to make water sounds kind of British. Because they normally pronounce their t's. I don't know why they decided to change it for this. But again, I can't wait to hear it in the song. Han messing up the timing of the second water water was so cute. Han doing the ad-libs with the little T-Rex arms made me just crumble from cuteness. Okay and that very small clip that we got of them doing the choreography Felix and his footwork was killing it. Like I know he's known for his footwork but I feel like I haven't seen it that crisp in a while and I was so entranced. I definitely want to try the choreography for sure. I don't know if it's going to work out but I'm definitely going to give it a good old try. Okay so I forgot to mention this when we first got the track list and like snippets of the songs but I feel like I want to claim bounce back. Like I know walkin on water is the title track and I'm sure it's going to be amazing but I feel like I personally want to claim bounce back. So here is my thing right. I know they want to appeal to the masses. They want to get the little kiddos they want to get the tweens they want to get the young adults they want to get the older people I get it. I understand it completely. I love it, more fans for you. However I need them to have an 18 plus album and I need them to let Han go the fuck off. I need them to let him get out all of his repressed anger that he's been wanting to get out since he was pre-debut Han. Like I feel like I need that for my soul. And I want to know how much shit he was talking. Like I need that. It took me a second to realize what you said D'some, but once I realized what you said, I completely agree. Before he does that he needs to release scissor. Okay but listen to the lyrics. They are talking their shit. Right after the album drops straight to the next comeback encore. Like truly especially this last 6 months, that's exactly what they did. They did their Japanese comeback and then they turn around and they did their second Korean comeback and then they released their tickets and then the tickets went on sale 4 days later like they are just attacking us back to back to back and I'm here for it actually 😹. A confident and ambitious little hip hop kid. The way I need a han to go off one time 😩. See I love when the members come in and they get the recording in like three or four tries because that's amazing. They're just naturally talented. But I'm actually really kind of liking seeing them kind of struggle get what they need because it shows how hard they are working to make it perfect. And also this entire sequence after Seungmin "gets it" is so funny. I can't wait to see how y'all react to that. Seungmin is such a perfectionist and it shows. Bang Chan tells us nothing. The other members tell us stuff but bang chan tells us NOTHING! 😹 No, I absolutely love bang Chan in the R&B style. I'm genuinely surprised there hasn't been more R&B music, especially because bang Chan and hyunjin loves it so much. Felix just makes my heart so happy. He is so ridiculously precious. You are absolutely deserving of love the way I love this man so much, Oh my God. Also YEEESSSS! I was so happy when we got confirmed music videos from Felix like I could not stop smiling. Like we are genuinely going to be spoiled this Friday. Also, I need to know if all of the videos are dropping at once like are they seriously going to overwhelm us with that? So I was both shocked and not shocked to find out that hallucination was originally a Changbin song that could have been an OT8 song. But I definitely feel like it fits IN so well now. But with that being said, I really want to hear the original changbin version, especially the rapping that he said it had before. And now I also want whatever the OT8 version was going to be. I am very okay with admitting that I am a little bit greedy when it comes to stray kids in their music. Yes, our 18 plus baguette 😂. The way D'some looked up when Han-C said "What happens when the baguette makes babies" 😹🤣😹. He looks so disappointed in you Han-C. I genuinely cannot wait to see the video for youth. Like it looks like it's going to be so much fun and so bright and colorful and I love it already. Oh yeah, we saw the clips of him spoiling the dance in his song. And it's hilarious because it's such a Lee know thing to do. Also, when I think bingo I think older people. I don't think young people. Is that a difference between the US and Korea? Is it a kids thing over there? Not him saying it's not super cute or anything while looking super cute. Wait am I missing something or did he come up with the choreography himself for the song? Yeah as the dancer he wanted his choreography to be perfect so I definitely understand that. The way I immediately start smiling as soon as I hear Ultra come on. It's such an amazing song. Not Binnie having a concert in his shower and coming up with the choreography. I love that for him. I can definitely see changbin as Bruce banner. I also cannot wait to see what Han's video looks like. Because his seems bright but also a little bit chaotic and I'm intrigued. I love how cute and shy he gets about explaining his guitar in the music video. I love how shocked y'all were when it went from Han to Seungmin because it truly was like an abrupt ending and an abrupt starting. I'm excited to see Seungmin's video because of the way he explained it having his story, but also a little bit of the member story in it as well. But mainly because it looks like a darn drama. Like the way the its color scored is beautiful like it's bright. It looks like it tells a story but it also has a little bit of mutedness into it. I don't know if these words I'm saying are making sense but that's what I got from it. Seungmin isn't afraid of heights. He's got this. I'm afraid of heights though I wouldn't be able to do it. Yes, I love that they use their own personal items as well. It makes it that much more personal. It helps connect the story. I love the love that they have for each other. No, because hyunjin sounded like he was kind of choking up a little bit talking about stay. And it is so very obvious how healthy Han is during this comeback because he just seems happier and we love to see it. Hyunjin makes me so emotional I swear 🥹. I'm excited to see that stray kids not mixing other things into their music. I'm also curious of that vocal section. I'm interested in the whistling as well. I'm interested to hear Tablo with them. Yeah, I don't understand how the other people were so confident that they were going to be music videos like we haven't been fooled before. But with that being said, I'm so happy that we're going to get those music videos. Yeah I was confused why the solo tracks were on this album with three songs that were supposed to be hip hop based. There was some picture going around on Twitter about how the hot symbol had like six different meanings like explaining what each of the meanings meant and how it fits with stray kids so well and I thought that was really cool. Oh, D'some that's exactly what i was talking about. I cannot wait to see what you interpret from the lyrics of all of the solo songs. The only thing that really changed while watching the intro is the thoughts on INs song. It just made me even more excited for what we got.
