[Tier 2] SKZ - Hyunjin's AOTM Making Film
Added 2024-05-23 15:13:18 +0000 UTCSoooo....this was kinda different, wasn't it :)
After the serious discussion we had about creating art and being an artist (watching Wooyoung's ATOM behind), well, Hyunjin's making film got us talking about...Hyunjin...yeh.
Very different in tone, mostly because of how Hyunjin constantly seduced us with self-cams every chance he got, but still the same exhausting process for the performer that made us feel tired just watching.
Jokes aside, this was another excellent video that showcased how much effort and time every artist puts in for a single performance/clip/shoot, and how talented each and every one of them reallllllly are, but also in all seriousness, Hyunjin did very much distract us XDXDXDXD no regrets.
Hope you enjoy this one! (we know you will)
Love. <3

2024-05-27 07:11:44 +0000 UTCGood god, I'm back to MY shitty WiFi so im excited to watch!! I love that you called it cutie Hyunjin and then literally 2 seconds later. It's all sexy Hyunjin. Sexy sweaty Hyunjin . Not the dance instructor Low-key simping for hyunjin. I don't know if somebody from studio choom edited this or somebody from The Stray kids entertainment jyp thing edited this but when it's the stray kids editors, it's so funny. Because they low-key be dissing the kids. Like they be exposing them and it's hilarious. But whoever does the editing does a pretty good job. It is so interesting to watch him get embarrassed after being so locked in and focused on the dance. Y'all freaking out over him getting close to the camera. I can't wait till y'all react to the song Your eyes. Not Han-C choking because of Hyunjin dancing. But I get it. That's so real. D'some completely zoning out on what Hyunjin is saying because he's so beautiful is also valid as fuck. Yes, I was so shocked to find out that hyunjin is an introvert. But after watching so many clips of them I see it now. I mean I've seen it for a while but it's so interesting when you ReDiscover just how introverted he is. Also, if you look at the dance practice video versus the studio choom video, I feel like the dance practice video has a little bit more power. And I don't know if it's because of the camera editing or what, but just look at Hyunjins muscles and all of the tension he holds in his body during the dance practice video versus the studio choom video. And I don't know if it's because of the camera editing or what, but it looks softer. I love that D'some Is just like oh yeah show us your drawing. This man can draw so well. It is so mind-blowing. Like what isn't he good at? Hey I see you referencing the SKZ code Felix never bad! I mean... same Han-C same, i too wanna be that seat. 🤣 Hyunjin is so precious. You know what? Maybe It's because all of his muscles are hidden that it looks softer to me. Because you CAN'T see the tension in his body lines. Did y'all notice that he did not throw his hip in this version. Like the way he did in the dance practice. I don't know if it's because of the floor being different or the nerves, but he did that part a little bit differently in the dance practice video versus the official video. Why is Han-C so real right now. Yes, I want to be the fan. I want to be the suit. I want to be the hat that he threw across the room. I remember that part too D'some 😂🤣. I felt that exhalation of breath D'some 😂. WHY ARE YALL SO REAL?!? I TOO WANNA BE THE FLOOR AND HIS SHIRT!!! 😹🤣😂😹🤣. I know that part had to be so hard to do on what looks like concrete floor. That part was very sexy. The quiet at the end of the video, I feel it, I understand it, I get it. It's so true. Okay so on a count of three we're going to breathe out and the release the tension that we were holding and just unclench our bodies. Yo, why did I think y'all actually ended abruptly like that. That's too funny. I thought Y'all pulled a Lee know. Yes Han-C We know you would go for Felix. The way y'all's mind is so scrambled now after watching all of this stray kids content welcome to DeLuluville of being a STAY. Welcome to wishing that you were a shirt or a fan or a seat or a hat or the floor. It's a strange life but it's a happy life. I had so much fun watching you guys react to this. And you guys feel like family. You feel like a STAY like everyone else and it makes me so happy. Not Han-C being zoned out at the end. So valid man so valid. I had so much fun watching this. Y'all have a good one.

2024-05-25 06:15:42 +0000 UTCTo be born with even 10% of Hyunjin’s visuals and talent. Dang that would be a good life hahaha

2024-05-24 20:09:08 +0000 UTCThe first time I watched this behind-the-scenes video, I was going to cry when he reminded me of the time he came from nothing. It's impressive to know the process and how much effort he and the team put into creating this masterpiece. When I saw him sweat and exhausted, I felt more caring than feeling any other way. This is because I am familiar with his kind of behavior when Hyunjin goes live on social media or when sending ASMR voice messages via bubble, so my heart is strong enough, hahahaha. Watching with you guys this time, I laughed a lot with your reaction. OMG!, this is unexpected!! It's so funny Han-c tends to ship Hyunjin x Felix For me, its' Hyunjin x Felix or Lee Know x Hyunjin. One of my favorite ATOMs is JUYEON from THE BOYZ. Interesting dark concept with Billie Eilish's - you should see me in a crown. Juyeon is another Idol who is good at expressing his soul through his movement and is also suited to contemporary dance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePAi-0qKEio

2024-05-24 11:17:45 +0000 UTCNot to alarm you guys, but Hyunjin has about 9 solo vlogs and he films them in a similar manner to what you saw here 🫢 He’s also in 5 RachaLogs, one of which where it’s just him and Changbin and he says what everyone’s thinking 😆

2024-05-24 07:47:57 +0000 UTCOh my God you two are hilarious! I had to watch it twice. Once to appreciate Hyunjin again, and once to watch the two of you drool. So funny! That being said, thanks for reacting to this. Such a lesson in the craft of excellence. I am continually amazed at the dedication to dance perfection and the resulting transformation from long haired, silly Hyunjin to dramatically charismatic Hyunjin. Priceless! ❤️
Gail Palmer
2024-05-24 02:47:50 +0000 UTCMy favorite parts were Changbin calling and checking up on him because he was out so late practicing and how he brushed off the dancers back every time after he put his foot on him. Also, you two are much more ridiculous than I initially thought, but in the best way 🤣

2024-05-24 01:37:30 +0000 UTCthis was HILARIOUS! when I first watch the AOTM and then the Making Film video in particular I had a similar reaction to yours lol the way he moves not only when he dances but also when he's just existing is absolutely insane and makes you question things. aside from that, as a STAY, I really love the way you guys appreciate not only their music and performances, but also them as people. THANK YOUUUU

2024-05-23 22:57:24 +0000 UTCThis video was essentially what made me a Stay. I'd heard Red Lights, found the videos, was amazed by the dancing, discovered Hyunjin's dance videos and was blown away because dance too often gets left to a backdrop in Western music acts vs. part of the main performance so I thought it was so cool to see this performer showcasing so much skill centre stage. Then I watched this, the AOTM behind video and in like 2 seconds the contrast of slightly quiet and shy young looking Hyunjin with his dance persona had me. The dedication and commitment was like nothing I'd seen before and I absolutely fell in love with how much respect towards the art of dance there was. From that day on SKZ fully sucked me in as musicians, artists, and people. Before discovering kpop I liked music and performance but I'm not sure I'd ever seen it done to this level. SKZ caught me because they showed me how you absolutely can achieve excellence with enough dedication and practice and I feel like Hyunjin is the perfect embodiment of that. He worked for every inch of his skill whether it came easily or not. I love watching an artist do their thing and this is just peak artistry I love it so much.

2024-05-23 20:16:50 +0000 UTCYour reactions are just the best and so, so relatable. Just as a strange momentary aside....... There are whole videos on YouTube dedicated to Hyunjin's sweat. No, I'm not joking!! HAHAHAHAHA. He's known as one of the sweatiest idols in the business. But obviously we know it comes from intensely hard work on his part. The good thing is, all of the other members say that even when Hyunjin is super sweaty, he smells amazing. Now, back to the video....... You guys kept talking about how beautiful he is and yeah, I agree. It's all Hyunjin's fault. LOL Some people are just genetically gifted to be stunningly, gaspingly beautiful, and one of those people is Hyunjin. Even without makeup (which I usually prefer, TBH) he just renders me speechless. When he's on stage / on camera.....he's just unreal. And when he does photo shoots for magazines and fashion projects, the camera is like his lover. I don't mean that in a creepy way. I mean it's like the camera captures all of his body and facial angles, expressions and intense eye contact with incredible intimacy. It's voyeurism in the purest sense. But his dancing...... I am just more and more impressed by how driven Hyunjin is to give the very best performances he can. Considering where he started from, considering how little sleep he got especially during the early years because he was dancing at school, then doing dance training at JYP until the wee hours of the night.....and then turning right around and going back to school with almost no rest...... He's just so inspirational. I would love to see Hyunjin do more contemporary dancing, and I would especially love to see more solo projects from him. There's just so much untapped potential there.

2024-05-23 20:11:50 +0000 UTCThank you!!!! I could happily listen to any of the SKZ members speak about their art. You can tell how passionate they are by just the way the speak and express themselves. Clearly he did an amazing job, but it's always so impressive to see the hard work that goes into making something seem effortless.

2024-05-23 18:36:26 +0000 UTCHyunjin was called a legend of hard work during his time as a trainee. He had not danced since childhood and to become one of the best dancers not only of his generation but in the entire Industry, he worked very hard. It's inspiring. And of course his innate charisma and talents, which he was able to reveal in himself. This is why he is so often chosen as a role model not only by rookies, but also by current idols. He is Idol for Idols. Thank you for your reaction❤

2024-05-23 18:23:52 +0000 UTCYou guys are so funny, this reaction is VERY relatable. Wanting to be born as Hyunjin and date Felix LOVE it!
lillie450
2024-05-23 18:15:13 +0000 UTCthis is how hyunlixers are born. two beautiful people should just be together lol. Seriously, I love the reaction. Hyunjin once said you have to practice 200% to give 100% in a performance. I feel like you see that here and why he was considered legendary as one of the hardest-working trainees. He started with zero experience and debuted as a main dancer in just two years, next to Lee Know, who is, of course, a masterful dancer. It just says a lot about their talent and the effort they give to be so good.

2024-05-23 17:33:29 +0000 UTCasking the important questions: Born as Felix and go out with Hyunjin or born as Hyunjin and go out with Felix I love watching dancers with their craft. The more effortless it looks, the more work you know went into it and seeing that work just adds another layer.

2024-05-23 17:01:43 +0000 UTCI want to be the floor.. his shirt.. etc 🤣🤣 It's all Hyunjin's fault 🤣

2024-05-23 16:47:01 +0000 UTCOhhh guys I laugh so much with you! It's kinda impossible to not simp for him 🫠 "I wish I could born like Hyunjin and have a girlfriend like Felix" 🤣🤣 And that's how Han-C and D'some became a Hyunlixer 🤣🤣🤣 Jokes aside, you guys made my day!! For me it's so hard to chose, like be born like Hyun to go out with Lix, would be amazing, but meeen be Lix and be able to go out with Hyun it's so good too!!! hahaha both are out of this world! We can see how much Hyun was nervous and tired, he was not with his members and he was trying to do something different, like leave his mark.. Well I can't hear this song without think about his dance, so I think he was sucessfull haha He is so hardworking, since before the debut we worked so hard to get where he is now, what leave me even more proud of him <3

2024-05-23 16:26:24 +0000 UTCI'm out of town with really crappy Wi-Fi so I won't be able to watch this until I get back which is unfortunately Sunday. But I'm so glad you guys are watching this
