Stray Kids & LYKN - Close Up!
Added 2025-02-08 00:56:06 +0000 UTCHi everyone!
So it seems like Stray Kids will be the winner of our first ever K-Pop Close Up video. I’ve decided to add LYKN into the mix, since it’s coming in a close second, so I’ll be doing a T-Pop Close Up for them as well.
Please let me know which videos you’d like me to check out and in which order. Just a reminder, I’ll be doing 1 video focusing on their music and dance practices and 1 video getting to know them via a guide and variety-type or compilation-type videos.
I’d appreciate a comprehensive list and links if possible. You can DM them to me if you’d like or put them directly in the comments. I’m aiming for about 1 hour per video, 2 videos per group but it’s fine if we go a bit over.
Thank ya’ll so much! 💛

Could you please react to project alpha where lykn was created

2025-03-14 22:14:17 +0000 UTCHii, Javi! Here are my suggestions: I think you should react to Project alpha, the show that formed Lykn! They are a bit long, but so much fun! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwPs40jBJTEoH0Jd3CEylorphv9TQvFph&si=zbWSUdu3EshzhHEt Lykn Landding videos are also a very good option ( i think it has two more eps, that are not in the playlist) https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZlK-YdlGKbaXaBkyzk2JTQWi7JCD3xWE&si=CJM6j9J3rvyXdjbq I personally like those two vídeos that are ArmShare ep – the fist one they just talk a little bit about themselves and do a chanlenge and the second one they do a tour in Nut´s house and play a game https://youtu.be/z5EuY758wqE?si=wRnnDU9YBo8tTG4A https://youtu.be/JsIyBy7lckA?si=dV4dQ7YTsqgqxRCZ i also think you could see any thame-po live related since you are into the series. And last but not least their muisic vídeos specially “No worries” since it is a short film Super excited for your reactions, especially since you only know them from their characters in thame-po, and to me they are very different in real life!

2025-02-12 03:32:59 +0000 UTCLYKN (Music) - May I - UMM UMM - No Worries - Charm - Trust Me - Sugoi - Trick or Treat - ThamePo OSTs Other performances you could check: - KNOCK KNOCK cover. - Solo stages from their concert. For the variety type, I suggest: - Alpha Roommate - LYKN Landing Excited to see your reactions!!!

2025-02-11 02:31:37 +0000 UTCWould you watch the show Project Alpha that created LYKN? I don’t know many of their songs either but after seeing them more from this show I was interested in how they became a group. The show was good and some of the other artist we see on other BL series were contestants too.

2025-02-09 19:39:34 +0000 UTCHere is a playlist with all of LYKN's music videos (only missing the ThamePo osts) : https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZlK-YdlGKbbHWrnqCfnDdj78DMhEDI9B&si=0CIdKdiA1z4Syvz- Playlist for the dance practices : https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZlK-YdlGKbbMsjfydVzaEEEbyhq0jkPB&si=18gC3P7MFlWvl0Un This is a playlist with all of LYKN landing episodes, which are vlogs they do when they have overseas schedules and i think are a good way to know their personalities (maybe watching the most recent episodes?) : https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZlK-YdlGKbaXaBkyzk2JTQWi7JCD3xWE&si=4yi4RiFuGXE2oICu Those are very short videos they released just recently to celebrate the opening of their own channel, its just a few minutes but you also learn more about the members here so it could be good to check out ! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL74W_ZyYlaLajFy5HbBLiP21GWVfFvdQP&si=UOG-P2H4vqb75VEI Finally, this is the first episode of their new variety show and it's very fun to watch :) https://youtu.be/5JUVuGerzmY?si=_mg1k3X1YUOwVe__

2025-02-08 22:22:37 +0000 UTCPersonally, my favorite LYKN song is "Trust me". "No worries" is my second favorite (I like their slower songs that hit you right in the feels hahaha) Their song "Charm" features Pond and Joong, so that could be interesting for you. They fairly recently released a song called "Lykyou" (which is their fandom name) dedicated to their fans, which is also really sweet. "Sugoi" is also a great song of theirs. And obv, all the ThamePo OST's that they have done are also great, but since you've heard those on the show, at least partially, I'm not sure if you want to do them for the deep dive Smn else already mentioned it (and even send the links), their solo performances at their concert were absolutely breathtaking - for me, especially Williams and Legos are just imprinted on my brain permanently, but they all did fantastic. So those are DEFINITELY worth checking out (that way you could get a feel for each of their talents individually as well, if you're interested in that) As for getting to know their personalities and stuff. Idk if there are any guides yet for them. But, if we're talking abt some behind the scenes content, where you're able to see their personalities and bonds with each other, there are two content formats of theirs that might be interesting. 1. Alpha Roommate: there are 8 episodes, it came out in 2023, after the band got formed through the survival show "Project Alpha". It's basically content of them living together and doing stuff together to bond. (you can find it on Project Alpha's yt channel, they have a playlist made called Alpha Roommate, so it's super easy to find) 2. LYKN landing : it's basically behind the scenes footage of their overseas schedules (concerts and stuff). Most of those episodes are on the Riser Music yt channel (they have a playlist called LYKN landing, so once again super easy to find), just the latest episode is on LYKN's own yt channel👍🏻 A fun idea might be watching the first ep of Alpha Roommate and then the latest ep of LYKN landing, to kinda see the potential contrast between how they started and how they are now. They obv also have behind the scenes footage for music videos and such (also on Riser Music yt channel) I don't have super deep knowledge of LYKN, I've been following them casually since the ThamePo pilot trailer dropped and only now I'm starting to get deeper into their stuff, but this should be fairly accurate. If smn has better ideas for what bts content Javi might watch, pls add them to my suggestions!

2025-02-08 16:02:45 +0000 UTCStray Kids b-sides don’t seem to get suggested a lot even though I think it’s where they shine the most. I really like Chill, Winter Falls & Blueprint. Their Japanese releases The Sound & Scars are also really good!

2025-02-08 12:46:01 +0000 UTCStray Kids was my number one choice (tied w/Seventeen) and am excited to watch and listen to them with you all. Everyone has done a great job providing sites/songs suggestions. I would only add Felix's new release - "Unfair" - beautiful both vocally (love that sexy smokey deep voice) and visually .. plus those eyes! 🪽

2025-02-08 12:45:54 +0000 UTCStray Kids has a two episode "dating show" called EXchange Island and its soo funny (some of my favorite content they've made). It's a part of their variety show SKZ Code, episodes 43 and 44. I'm torn though because a guide would be the best way to get to know them quick, so I also want to push for that, but I thought I'd let you know of it's existence because I love love love them.

2025-02-08 08:42:09 +0000 UTCFor Stray Kids this guide is the best https://youtu.be/4FTRJ0vgTZk?si=Yz5VLx60MzYV1Jgo It is very long, but it shows very well the talent of each member of the group
NoName
2025-02-08 07:56:35 +0000 UTCStrayKids God's Menu is their most iconic song 🎵 it is a must watch for a 1st reaction to their music and for content Skz Code is good especially their Skz Family episodes

2025-02-08 04:37:28 +0000 UTCNow for Stray Kids, a guide video to help you learn the members is the video down below. I like this video because it is divided into one section for each member and it gives a broad overview of them each separately. And the video is only less than 30 minutes. Now for variety shows, I recommend SKZ family returns (especially Episodes 39 and 40). It is one of the funniest episodes in my opinion. For MV, I recommend: God’s menu, Maniac, Get Lit, Super board, Easy, All In, and Megaverse. **If you would like to maybe watch some performances, I also included the ones that I highly recommend. This is only if you would like to. Guide (less than 30 mins) 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvqbFT-8WuI Variety show 1. Ep.39: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhNiuiIMvFk&t=736s 2. Ep.40: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtyFJteZUls Performances 1. Battleground performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HP2_M4LVmzA 2. I'll be your man cover performance (6:40-10:55): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VH2UsK4dMyg&t=391s ***I'll be your man performance is an absolute masterpiece. Amazing vocals. Amazing rap. Amazing stage presence. They put a lot of passion into it and it could tell. *** 3. Venom + maniac performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QKhAdN-keY 4. Item performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ke4iZkjs180

2025-02-08 02:23:33 +0000 UTCRegarding videos to watch getting to know them better I would recommend browsing through Katya Strom's YouTube channel since she puts out a ton of silly little compilations of them!

2025-02-08 01:57:46 +0000 UTCGod's Menu is like THE Stray Kids song (Stay know why lmao), but other good ones are Miroh, Back Door, Thunderous, CHEESE, LALALALA, Venom, Maniac, and Charmer. Obviously the list goes on and on but I feel like those songs really broadcast who their group is!
