Comments
I think they did the horror concept for this one because jam can be a synonym for mash, and it's a monster mash :D

2024-08-14 04:28:41 +0000 UTCis that part a dubstep-type beat?

2024-08-11 21:50:34 +0000 UTCI think the Inkigayo performance is even better than the MCountdown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SA1sw2VANk and there's also the dance practice video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-h8LrVUrlQ

2024-08-11 11:17:46 +0000 UTCYou might be right. I can see them doing a december 13th release if the plan is something along the lines of skz2024 or a skz-replay vol.2. If it's anything that warrants proper promotions, though, it won't be in december as it collides with their tour. I also expect that if they release any new music, they'd want to bring it on tour. They might release something new between the different legs of the tour, but not in the middle of the first one? This would also fit the timing - they could tease something new at a Seoul concert, like they did with Megaverse and Leave last year, and then release it properly before the rest of the tour. I also don't know if I'd expect more christmas songs from a relatively young group, such as them. That's not something one releases too often and they already have 3. Aaaand I might be a little hung up on the entire Tablo thing, but I doubt the man would make a cameo and literally spell out "next 'x': stray kidsXTablo" himself, if that wasn't something that was going to happen. I find it kinda hard to imagine how the skzXTablo X'mas-song (waaait a minute .....?) would be. Though, at this point, I'm not putting anything past these guys π Maybe they're going for a horror theme in the spirit of Jjam MV and friday the 13th before october starts? Touching on them being vampires? Would explain the massive amount of neverending content xD I agree with you that it's likely they'll attend some events for fashion week, but I don't see why they would block out a month and a half in their calendar for it. Obviously some of it will be for evaluating the Seoul shows before the rest of the tour, but again, not an entire month and a half. Tommy's show in New York is on sep.8th and the vmas is on the 10th, also in NY. Neither has been announced, as far as skz goes, but it's highly likely they'll attend both. As of now, none of their individual brands have a scheduled event at the NY or London fashion weeks. We might see Chan, LeeKnow and Hyunjin in Milan on sep.17th and 20th, and Felix in Paris on oct.1st. For the remaining four, their brands either doesn't have a scheduled event or it collides with the Singapore concert. Maaaybe Han would be invited to the Balmain show, but it's just a couple of days before the concert, so I don't think it'd be natural for him to risk the jetlag. I really do wish for 2racha to get the opportunity to attend a fashion week if that is something they want for themselves, but it doesn't look very likely this fall. It's not uncommon for members to nip out for a solo event close to another schedule, e.g. most recently both LeeKnow and Chan's fashion show attendences. At any meassure, none of the dates would collide with sep.13th or the days around it. They could also be clowning us big time again, and come friday the 13th, they release tour dates or announce a pop-up store or something (although I find it hard to believe they'd hint at a local event in an official mv). You never know with them though, to be fair lol

2024-08-11 02:53:58 +0000 UTCWhat I was / am hoping for is an M/V for Twilight, with all of the members dressed in tuxes. In my head I see it being filmed in a smokey jazz club kind of scene. First, the stage would be dark......then Han would appear under a spotlight to start the song off, and each member would appear as their parts come in, with all of them eventually singing in a row like they did for "Story That Won't End" (aka "Neverending Story"). I'll be sad if that doesn't happen, lol.

2024-08-11 02:15:08 +0000 UTCOh you're right, I forgot. Too many things on my plate right now. Thank you, lol.

2024-08-10 23:38:19 +0000 UTCthey already reacted to twilight a week ago!

2024-08-10 23:28:58 +0000 UTCI think the break between the seoul and the singapore dates might be because of the fashion weeks? it's been hinted at that skz might be at the new york fashion week and some members could be invited to the ones in Milan/Paris/London as well! And then there's 3 weeks between singapore and Australia as well but idk. Somehow my guess was that the special album will be a christmas album, so 13th dec would make so much sense!! but we never know what skz has in store for us xD

2024-08-10 23:25:45 +0000 UTCpersonally I think like frankenstein or werewolf/cerberus would fit better (or go more intense with the "gory serial killer, mad scientist" vibe) but yea id love more dark stuff
ems
2024-08-10 16:32:42 +0000 UTCOooooh but I want a really DARK horror (especially vampire) concept in one of their videos, some day. If DanceRacha had done that for "Taste" I would have been over the moon. I know the vampire thing is kindof Enhypen's wheelhouse, but I hope SKZ do it just once.
J.A. Moore
2024-08-10 16:22:20 +0000 UTCI think this mv is like super stray kids vibe it fits their character so well, fun, different and diverse. this song is kinda presentation of the rachas and skz as a whole so I don't think it's random at all. +stay have been begging for a horror concept for years heh
ems
2024-08-10 11:18:53 +0000 UTCIt would not surprise me if they're related. SKZ have made other movie references in their videos that many people didn't catch. Two that immediately come to mind are: 1) Nods to The Shining in the Case 143 M/V 2) A reference to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest at the very end of the Maniac M/V. There are probably others that I can't think of right now.

2024-08-10 08:52:35 +0000 UTCParts of the dance is also very reminiscent of the Crispin Glover dance from Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter
Rina
2024-08-10 07:45:13 +0000 UTCDUDE! YES! They need to start making videos for our hanpop songs. Twilight would be so nice!

2024-08-10 07:33:03 +0000 UTCIt's wild because I don't think a lot of people knew they were going to make a video for jjam until like maybe a day or two before. That's when I saw people starting to talk about it on Twitter. I would have LOVED a video for slash. I love when Felix got scared by I.N. Also i love that Han-C got jump scared by Han. Our scary little guy π. Nobody was expecting this video to be like this. Lol Seungmin being Seungmin. The dancing in this video is so hype. As soon as I saw the video I was like I immediately need a dance practice video expeditiously. And then they performed it live because they are promoting this song, shockingly. But i still need a dance practice video immediately. Awwwww YOU KNOW FLUBBER?!? OMG! thats awesome. See I was surprised but not surprised at the same time because with stray kids you have to expect the unexpected. Oh I definitely get what you're talking about Han-C. Case 143 was supposed to have kind of like a mystery, thriller vibe. I have no clue what made stray kids decide to go the horror video route. Awww that was our last official drop from the ATE era and I'm low-key sad about it. I really like the heatwave remix of chk chk boom. Lol Han-C talking about Chan hoarding songs in his computer. I feel you. I definitely noticed the mirror cracking the first time I watched the video and the second or third time I watched the video I noticed that they had Friday the 13th on a lot of the things. Now I don't know if it's supposed to be related to the horror aspect or if something is dropping on Friday the 13th. The closest Friday the 13th is going to be in September and then the last one of the year is in December so I don't know if that's relating to anything or again, it's just meant to be a part of the horror film aspect. But it's definitely so much fun and I stand on what I said. I need a dance practice video. Oh they do have a making of the music videos. Are you going to get into those? Because they're pretty interesting to watch actually.

2024-08-10 06:20:56 +0000 UTCNo, I think you're on to something. There are two of those left this year; september and december. They will be touring in december with a concert in Thailand on the 14th. However, they have nothing on the agenda between 1st of september and 19th of october, except for a singular concert in Singapore on the 28th of september (and of course the virgo birthdays. Maybe also attending the vmas on the 10th? That's not anounced yet though). I do find it odd to kick off a tour with home dates in august and then wait a month and a half before they continue. They might be cooking up something new already and it will be almost two full months since ATE then ... It says event on the poster, so it could just be more tour dates, but if they are going to release any more music this year (like the special album they mentioned in step out 2024), this is the only time they realistically could do so. They'll be touring for the rest of the year. It's too close to ATE to be something big, but a special doesn't have to be. It could something smaller, like Double Knot, Step Out of ClΓ© and Christmas EveL? Maybe with a Tablo collab? I guess it depends on how delayed Ate really was and how far back they had to push other plans because of it. They usually don't mention Japanese releases in their Step outs, nor tease them in their korean mvs, but there's been at least one Japanese release every year since All In, until now. So maybe something Japanese? Though, LMB was promoted quite extensively, so that could have taken up the allotted time for int. releases this year. Ooooor I could be wrong and they might actually plan to sleep a little before their world tour π Stay are too spoiled as it is, so I think they can allow themselves that.

2024-08-10 05:36:26 +0000 UTCI think you've got it right when you say they're trying to subvert expectations, D'Some. It would be easy to make a God's Menu/Superbowl MV buuuut they've done the kitchen/cooking concept before, so to subvert everyone's expectations, they go with horror XD I do think there are other people that decide the direction the MVs go in or at least i get that impression when i watch their reactions to their own MVs. And Han-C, your comment about the Case 143 MV made me realize you guys gotta watch the Making video! That whole heart background was real and it's really cool to see how it all came together ^_^ https://youtu.be/O6sch4pJHeA?si=Ymh-IBTa7xQnDUDw

2024-08-10 04:54:43 +0000 UTCI watched that scene with LK's shadow several times. There's no gun that I can see, but it looks like the mouse actually farts (and it sounds like a gunshot). LOL
J.A. Moore
2024-08-10 04:31:53 +0000 UTCthe pool of goo behind the dance sequence reminds me of the brain in maniac and did you guys notice the mouse shooting lee knows shadow?

2024-08-10 03:40:11 +0000 UTCIn JJAM (as in many of their songs) they used wordplay with different meanings for similar-sounding words. JAM - as in jam out (dance / play hard) JAEM - Korean word for fun They ran with the wordplay and decided to use JAM , as in the sweet stuff you spread on toast, as their video concept.
J.A. Moore
2024-08-10 03:21:49 +0000 UTCHere is a small analysis (they are too good at word play to cover them all) Jam as in music and/or fun. It can mean any or all of those at each point in the song. You know the diss phrase "You got no jam(s)" ? Take that and look at these lyrics: "Sticky, sticky, sticky jam Yeah, our jam got them I got no jam? You got no jam? We gotta jam Look at our jam, " Han is a Jam-pire at one point. Hyunjin too when he wipes the jam on his mouth. Their Jam is sticky so you get stuck and get infected and then can't get enough. Also, in the video there are monsters (haters) trying to steal their Jam(s). (music or fun or both)

2024-08-10 03:01:13 +0000 UTCThis mv makes me so uncomfortable. I hate the sensation of sticky stuff and slimy stuff, and that is EVERYWHERE. If I can ignore that, it's amazing! I wish I understood the story, but it's amazingly well done+
Sam w
2024-08-10 02:54:41 +0000 UTCI got "Scooby Doo crew gets stuck in a sticky situation". Horror as a genre often subverts audience expectation for a greater payoff, so I feel like it makes sense that SKZ would make a comedy horror m/v in the middle of summer for no other reason than because it's fun. They are also promoting JJAM - first b-side promos since NoEasy era. It's a short promo period but we get a couple of live performances on difference music shows. First performance was on MCountdown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOFg2WQrTjM

2024-08-10 02:44:08 +0000 UTCalso - M Countdown performance. This would be cool to see live!! https://youtu.be/WOFg2WQrTjM?si=TX7YDJY4GmVvpjQC
Nova
2024-08-10 02:35:45 +0000 UTCHonestly - I thought it would be slash too. I love the song but the mv makes it that much better. It like an OT8 of Up All Night. MV is freaking amazing though. Love they did a horror concept just to be different.
Nova
2024-08-10 02:34:13 +0000 UTCBasically, I think SKZ just takes great delight in subverting expectations of what a K-pop group "should" sound like or look like. That includes their M/Vs. And remember.....a few other SKZ M/Vs have also had humorous, horror-based concepts. Case 143 - the beginning of the video had some references to the horror movie, The Shining. Maniac - letting the monster inside us be free Up All Night - Halloween / vampire theme Christmas Evel - the evil Santa voice ("It's Christmas EVE!!!") and the funny but cynical take on Christmas itself -------------------- I know SKZ have already put out a number of M/Vs for this new album, ATE. But I'm hoping they do ONE more........for the song, Twilight. When you listen to it, you'll understand. I am really looking forward to your reaction to that song!! ( ^^^ Nevermind. They already did react to Twilight. I just forgot!)

2024-08-10 02:18:12 +0000 UTCYou should totally watch the live performance so you see the full choreo!!! https://youtu.be/WOFg2WQrTjM?si=LpHtXfrP1LpqK_Ks

2024-08-10 02:16:07 +0000 UTCOh we also have Fri the 13th next month, but I think it's too close for a new album
Lari
2024-08-10 02:00:16 +0000 UTCIβve been waiting since the MV came out to see what you thought of the video! Iβm wondering if the βhorrorβ concept is because of the Fri the 13th posters everywhere in the vid. Maybe thatβs when the special album release is happening? Dec has a Friday the 13th which in the 4th quarter when JYPE is likely to release it. What do you think?
Paul Turner
2024-08-10 01:56:32 +0000 UTCYou need to watch the making of the mv behind the scenes
Denise C
2024-08-10 01:53:36 +0000 UTCI looooved they did a horror mini movie and they didn't show the "monster" so I think it was a JJAM monster spreading JJAM or "contaminating" each one of them..? Han was totally contaminated but I have to confess, it should be scary but for me it was cute hahaha Did you guys catch the posters with Friday 13th? (Maybe they will drop something on next Friday 13th?) The best was you two at the beggining talking and I was "Wooow they will be soooo surprised with the dance"... PS: There's already a live performance, it's also soooo good!
