STRAY KIDS Maniac Seoul Concert
Added 2024-04-28 02:58:54 +0000 UTC
The person I was before and after this concert are two different people. No joke. This concert did something to me. I'M ACTUALLY gonna post-pone concert month for a minute now to digest this and maybe resume in a week.
No doubt the best concert I've probably ever seen, k-pop or not. WHICH is NUTS cos I've seen Beyonce/Mariah and more lol. This wins cos I'm seated and can hear and see everything perfectly lol but in truth Renaissance was insane.
ANYWAY.
I don't even know where to start. THE LIVE SINGING?! THROUGHOUT! With stamina and depth and power and confidence. THE FANTASTIC Band and rearranged songs. The tight choreo MIXED with freestyling moments where you can SEE they're having fun. They're the first group I've seen CONSTANTLY VIBE to their own music so much even when it's no their part. It's infectious and makes you enjoy the music. They're also the ONLY group that have performed songs I don't love SO well that I don't even want to skip.
I also nearly cried on CAMERA. WTF?! That's not like me. The outfits were FLAWESS and styled to PERFECTION for each member. The LED Screen was putting in the WORK and made the light work even more impactful for each song.
LEE KNOW was my MVP. FUCKING HELL, I saw a whole new side to him. I.N also, such extremes but I feel like I said more in the reaction and there's no other ways to verbalise what a transcendent experience this was for me. I didn't think I could love and enjoy a performance this much and I've seen so many great ones but this somehow combined EVERYTHING I loved before and added its own touch.
Their chemistry is beyond and is also what made me connect to them even more. I've also pledged to REWATCH this concert or maybe another city in the future because I want to experience this greatness again. There was more I wanted to remember to say whilst watching but I've forgotten now cos it's all encompassing but I HOPE how this concert made me feel is even CLOSE to being translated in these words.
Lee Know, Christopher, Changbin, Han, I.N, Seungmin, Felix & Hyunjin,
THANK YOU <3
RIGHT?? hahaha

I realize that I am months late to watching this. Thank you so much for this reaction, i love watching things along side people and this gave me a chance to watch their full concert for the first time. Oh my goodness. their stamina is insane. I cant climb 1 flight of stairs without feeling like nahh, I cant keep walking. its absolutely insane.

Joined Patreon today so I could see this reaction! I’m so happy you had such a good time watching this show! I was living in Korea when the tour started so I got lucky enough to see this show twice & the energy was insane! I know people complain about Korean crowds but this was the first show after they lifted the COVID restrictions so we were all screaming our lungs out; it was definitely the best concert I went to while I was living there! The energy they exude when performing is contagious. I also saw their last encore show in LA & it was just as incredible which shocked me since it was the end of a long tour. I think the stage shows how truly special these boys are. The live band killed it; they added to the energy in the concert hall. This was held at Jamsil Indoor Hall which is one of the slightly smaller venues in Seoul which I think is why the camera work was so good. There are a few kpop groups I’ll see multiple times and Stray Kids is one of them! I hope one day you get a chance to see them!

WOOOOOW Yukes, this is such a beautiful comment honestly, one I will read many times over and over. It's even hard to accept such beautiful words and you have no idea what it means to me for my intentions to be seen truly and appreciated in such a way. I just see myself as lil ole me so I'm always moved by how much weight my thoughts have and I don't take it for granted! At all!

this is the FOURTH time watching your reaction to this concert specifically. i haven't even watched the original concert film myself, so i did experience this joy with you. i can FEEL your enthusiasm radiating from my screen when i watched your reaction and feel it every time i come back to rewatch. your expertise and honest feedback makes me respect you so much as a content creator, kpop aside. i myself got a bit choked up during the part you got emotional as well. i've been a STAY since christmas eveL era and along the way, became a subscriber to your channel on youtube and here. i cannot express how thorough you are with your feedback in the description, you paid attention to the small details during songs. i am lee know + seungmin biased, and i am so glad you gave them recognition throughout the video. it's nice to see someone who offers places where they can improve whilst keeping a positive attitude and recognizing their strengths. i LOVE watching your reactions and hope that you get to experience seeing them live in person! i'd love to hear your reaction after that too. kudos to being a genuine and passionate creator, it's rare we see that these days! and about bangchan, i couldn't agree with you more. he is a true leader who genuinely LOVES and cares for his members. he hand-picked them himself. when i think of the term "found family", this is what i picture. their connectiveness and close bonds are so unique and strong. it radiates to their audiences in waves. brilliant watch, as always! thank you for reacting <3

The youtube video actually has a lot of glitching. I've learned to ignore it, but upon first watch it can get really annoying.

Watching this for the 8th time now💀
I just watched their 5-STAR concert, and it’s a completely different experience to their maniac tour. If you plan on watching it, I recommend you watch the one in Osaka. The entire concert is on youtube, and they have a lot more energy there than the show in Nagoya.

Also, last time I watched this (like 2 weeks ago) I cried at the end... Today, I'm crying at Lonely St. Ugh, I need to be stronger next time.
I really love them. Nowadays, they are getting so much hate, it makes me angry.

I think this might be my 3rd or 4th comment but who cares.
I had a really REALLY hard week. My 16yo dog is sick, I can't sleep and I have to go to that shitty place (called a job) again tomorrow to make money so I can afford living.
I just came home and wanted to cry but I thought of you and this reaction. The joy and love you express in this video makes my heart full. Thank you so much for putting out content. It really does help a lot.
I love this group and even tho they are not perfect, they love what they do and they are true to themselves (as much as they can be in the idol system). I'm glad someone like you exists and can recognise that.
Your opinions are valid and real which is something I respect and love about you. I wish you could know how much I mean those words.
Anyway, THANK YOU!
I'm crying writing this cuz' I'm an emotinal little potato, sorry.

By the way, you are really a very consistent person hahaha. I think you don't remember, but on your YouTube channel, you had already reacted to 'Waiting For Us' (the unit song) and you also said it sounded like a song from the 2000s but that you liked it. You also mentioned that you'd like to hear it live, I hope it met your expectations.

hi!! first of all tysm for the reaction, like everyone else I’ve watched this video too many times to count! I just wanted to drop a link to their Maniac Encore in Japan concert at Kyocera Dome that a stay has kindly uploaded and added English subs to if you’re interested at all: https://m.ok.ru/video/7124511689316
The quality was excellent from my end, I hope it works for you! Featuring a couple Japanese songs swapped into the setlist, solos from Hyunjin, Changbin, I.N and Seungmin during the unit songs, and ofc more tears at the end during the fan project (poor Felix 😭). I’m glad you enjoyed this concert, thanks again!!

im pretty sure they did but sadly i dont think it was filmed. i get what you mean about the tokyo one as other of the japanese tour's also seem to have weird sound but it was mostly because the 5 star dome tour in osaka or nagoya are the lates concerts
karina
2024-05-26 11:00:15 +0000 UTC
I've had a peak at the Tokyo one and the camera work and the weird skin lightening feature doesn't look ANYWHERE near as good as the Seoul concert. Have they not done the 5 star tour in Seoul??

I kinda think the live band gets reserved for the bigger acts if you know what I mean. Blackpink uses a live band also. Just saw Enhypen this month and while I think they are growing in popularity they aren't totally there yet, and what do you know? No live band. It probably has to do with 💲💲 you know? Gotta be hella expensive to pack the instruments around city to city and then also pay the band members for every show.
Mr. Cow
2024-05-20 08:28:44 +0000 UTC
Also their upcoming tour was leaked as a potential 40 city tour. This Maniac tour was only like a 20-22 city tour. Imma go out on a limb and say Europe is gonna be on this next one. (🤞 for you all!) So now the question is would they hit Europe at the end of this year or beginning of next year?
Mr. Cow
2024-05-20 08:19:21 +0000 UTC
All In was *initially* created by JYP. He admitted he was scared to give it to 3racha out of fear they would think it was shit. I think they were diplomatic about it saying they "liked" it because it was their boss, but they also said they took it and changed and tweaked it to fit their style. They are credited first as lyricists and first as composers. So I think it's definitely safe to say they must've altered it a lot and it's for sure their song and in their style.

Did I just rewatched this for the 7th time? Yes.
Please, check out another one of their Maniac concerts. I reccomend one from english speaking country because you'll undestand what they are saying. They are really funny when speaking english and especially Han with Seungmin. Han also did a lot of freestyling on tour and all of it was just fire. His brain is insane.

I went to this concert in Newark, and I was crying... I felt just the way you did. I felt so proud of how far they've come all while keeping their authenticity. Not changing their style of music, no matter who hates it. I walked out of the concert arena just like I walked out of an out-of-body experience. Thank you for your reaction to this, I lowkey missed seeing your Stray Kids reactions. And hopefully, you watch their magic school fan meeting. They did the cover to Sherlock, and they slayeeedddd.

I went to 3 shows on this tour. They truly are PERFORMERS. they are the only kpop group that I am determined to travel for since they never come to my area. it’s a show you just can’t miss no matter how many miles away it is. you can tell they are a group of guys who love each other and love what they do and it shows so much in their performances. can’t wait to see them again at lollapalooza.
if you were to choose another date to watch their Japanese shows are always the best imo. if you where to do skz week vocal leaning songs I feel like I haven’t seen you react to are gone away, hero’s soup, winter falls, and another day.

Yesss The band!!. One of my favorite about this tour is when they do their ments in between the unit songs, and then Chan would have fun with the band by doing something impromptu following his lead, and it's just so fun to watch even through fan cams haha.
This is just few of them that I can find:

bangchan and han both grew up away from korea. han spent a large portion of his life away from korea as well as he lived in malaysia for a while, he didn’t go to school in sk so i think that influence of both chris and han being producers, composers and lyricists that spent time out of sk for a long while makes their music even more out there and different from most !
this concert was a lot of fun ! i’m enjoying watching these concerts with you sm 😭 gives me insane energy experiencing it along side you. also you being gagged by lee know this entire concert had me DEAD. he really was born for the stage, there’s smth so natural abt all of skz stage presence, energy and dancing but lee know in particular is a BEAST.
sincerely, nai. ♡

On a side note I noticed you saying you liked the side effects choreo so I highly recommend you to watch the preformance video they have for that cause it's one of my faves ever and I think it's one of the few that ACTUALLY gives the whole thing justice! It's really immersive and almost an out of body experience at least for me, your resident side effects shooter lol (i'll leave you the link here in case you're interested: https://youtu.be/qJXCbv9xscI?si=7o-nMAXD-LcjyicM )

If you are going to watch it again, I would recommend watching the ments before the unit performance, because they sing some of their original songs and some covers. Also the final ment is very emotional and has many groups hugs

as a long-time stay, with skz being the group that got me in to Kpop, I'm so thrilled you enjoyed this so much! I'll forever be salty that they didn't come to Europe a SINGLE time for the maniac tour.... they haven't been here since 2019 😭. I NEED to see them live 💔. honestly I'm relieved you skipped the last talking section bc I would've cried like I did the first time I saw it... Chan and Felix fully breaking down, Seungmin sobbing when speaking, the group hug. TEARS. They've truly been through hell(evator) together, they've worked so hard and formed a beautiful bond and comfort with eachother. would be super excited for you to consider a stray kids week 👀!! is it safe to welcome you to stayville now...?

Rewatching this with you was so much fun! I was a huge stay back when this tour was happening and haven’t been keeping up with them as much recently but this truly reminded me why I love them so much and why they’re so special. I will now go binge watch all my favorite performances from them lol. If you decide to do a skz week it would be cool to watch their first concert District 9: Unlock in Seoul I’m pretty sure 3rd eye is on the setlist

Seeing them live was actually the best show I’ve ever been to. My best friend I made go with me recorded the whole thing so I could just sit and enjoy it. I can’t wait to see them again

Just a thought, the Stray Kids survival show could be a fun (and traumatic) watch to see their beginnings. On or off camera, whichever you prefer of course. Personally I'm not strong enough to watch it on my own because seeing them cry is tooooo much for me, but I'd watch it with you! And of course Hellevator was born out of the show.

Boxer was the last song and they have a performance video for it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLGF1RKUHSk&ab_channel=StrayKids
They have a ton of performance and simple MVs from their first 2 years or so and they're usually a lot of fun. I also really enjoyed the concert. I'm not a concert person but now I regret not getting tickets to see them on this tour when I had the chance.

I love when Lee Know gets the appreciation he deserves! And it’s funny how you commented that Bang Chan was like the nurturing mother because Lee Know is actually known as the mother of the group and you should definitely check out more of their content to see how they interact with one another because it really is so wholesome!

Bang chan picked the perfect members for the group… they are amazing

The only vocal songs you probably haven't heard yet from them are 24 to 25, Winter Falls, Ex, Your Eyes and Gone Away I think. I think everything else you've heard. I've been keeping track haha. Hate to Admit is good too, just Bang Chan though. Thought you'd might find this helpful!
Zara
2024-04-28 08:14:34 +0000 UTC
I think they have such good chemistry because:
1. Bang Chan chose the members himself and he FOUGHT for them to be in the group. He has talked on many occasions about how hard it was for him being a trainee for so long because he had formed bonds with others, only for them to leave. He's said before how how he feels like the boys saved him from a dark place, and he refused to let them be cut by JYP like others had. And that's why he treasures his bond with the boys so much and it's so clear how he loves them like his own children. Bang Chan has always been very open about how he feels and his emotions on lives, so I can imagine that translates into how he cares for them and allows them to be more open about how they feel too.
2. They GENUINELY love to make music and express themselves (and they're good at it!) Whether it's through their crazy production on their title tracks or meaningful lyrics on their b-sides (I.e. Secret Secret, Silent Cry) you can feel how much heart and creativity they put into their music. I think BECAUSE they have the freedom to create their own music and EXPRESS themselves the way they want to, with the people they care about most in the world, is why they genuinely enjoy their work so much.
3. Their music feels like a byproduct of their love for each other and their craft. After seeing their chemistry, their chaos, but also their meaningful conversations (i.e in 2Kids room and on Chan's lives) it's clear how personal their music is to THEM and how seriously they take expressing their OWN stories and experiences in it. Their songs feel so organic. I think it helps having Chan and Felix from the West because they are very forward about their feelings. A good song that shows their chemistry is FAM. The lyrics are quite funny and describe each of the members individually.
If you'd like to see more of their chemistry/heart-to-heart talks in your own time I'd recommend 2Kids Room:
Hyunjin x Felix talk about their love and friendship https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OkRAef4ejQ
I.N x Bang Chan talk about IN's experience as the youngest and Bang Chan's care and leadership https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONWexDwBO7k
Minsung (no explanation needed really ahaha) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvQwN7LVN3A Also a funny video of 3racha making music and hanging out which shows a lot of their chemistry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgYJNYOawIc

they really are something special, so glad you loved it! especially in the US concerts you see more personality and the interactions during the parts where they aren't singing inbetween are great!

totally ready for another skz concert reaction + skz week of reactions! they are so special and their passion cannot be rivaled. i was lucky to see them multiple times in the US last tour, and plan to do so this upcoming tour. their live shows are life changing

you see lee know? the person he is when he is at concerts is him in his true performer form. When it comes to dance practices, music shows, he is subdued to keep things uniform, but when it comes to these concerts, baby he is going all out.

Just watched it in full and you GET IT! I’m so happy you get it and I knew you would get it lol
I agree with everything you said, seriously.
Also the last song, Boxer, does have a special video which shows the choreography! They also have one for TA which was one of the encore songs as well. I’ll leave the links below if you’re interested in checking them out.
Boxer - https://youtu.be/uLGF1RKUHSk?si=EmU_kgGdpEKjH_-j
TA - https://youtu.be/1inY1P4Xn6Y?si=GyK_ZO7QLcGXFy9L
And if this week really is Stray Kids week I can’t wait!

2024-04-28 06:52:59 +0000 UTC
the last encore song you liked is called boxer and the choreo is so sick. you need to watch the dance practice. I am so thrilled that you are enjoying straykids as much as I do! i totally agree that part of what draws you in is how much they love their job and each other! they're all so passionate and talented, and they love eachother so much. chris is definitely a mix between nurturing mom and fun uncle, you nailed it on the head lmao. i can't wait to see your future skz reactions :))

ALSO, I would love to see you react to their older projects. I know you've heard bits and pieces here and there, but I think you would really enjoy seeing their progression from the eps and albums

2024-04-28 05:37:31 +0000 UTC
You should deff react to thier encore where they added songs from maxident since i know you love case 143. And they also did a special concert last year 5star tour where your mans lee know has a solo stage 🤗 . Please so a skz week. Ive been blessed to see them perform live multiple times and they captivate me everytime. They are such a treat to see and i completely get the emotions and compassion you start to feel for them. Thier love for each other and performing just oozes off of them and infects you 😌

I got to see this concert when they came to the US and let me tell you, it was life changing. Experiencing this again I still feel the same way about how amazing they are live. If you ever get the chance to see them, I highly encourage it. Being there in person is a WHOLE other experience. Their energy is insane, live vocals are gorgeous, and the SET DESIGN is immaculate. Hands down the best concert I've ever been to!!!!
Haven
2024-04-28 05:32:10 +0000 UTC
Ok incoming long ass comment which is my running commentary watching with you:
The absolute CHILLS and GOOSEBUMPS I get during the opener. In my opinion, the best intro/opener of any concert I have ever seen. The anticipation it builds, they come out looking intimidating and powerful, and then right into maniac. Epic.
I need Kpop groups to stop using red light all the time during concerts. Pls. Enough.
Lol your comment of “This song is very Stray Kids”….that song was made by JYP himself…..hilariously one of my least fav Stray Kids song and an immediate skip for me (and this was before I even knew JYP made it)
You know how kpop fans love to say “omg xxx is an all rounder” sorry but they all pale in comparison to Han. The true ACE.
SKZ are the kings of skinny jeans/pants fr.
You will never go wrong with watching Lee Know during any part of any choreo. The way he holds nothing back….unreal.
Are you talking about the Gods menu mess up on Tiktok?? None of them had any idea what they were doing or what they were actually supposed to be doing…confusion all around.
Ah nvm you answered the above question but since I went to the effort to pause the video and type that out (and did so again with this) I am leaving this all here.
I love that rhaita sounding instrument present during God’s Menu. Not sure if thats what it is or if there is an equivalent in Korea but sounds so North African.
I don’t care what no one has to say about God’s Menu, but it is that song and even it’s biggest haters would still find themselves in awe when SKZ performs it like THAT in concert. It is that bitch.
Someone really needs to study IN’s transition from constant smiley braces dimples boy to the man he has grown into now. It really is a transformation!
You were really silent crying there!!!
You knowing all the words to Double Knot chorus was not on my bingo card…..
TOP was an OST for an anime and not gunna lie, it has one of my favourite instrumentals. Definitely replay that at the gym whenever I want to get hyped up. You should check out the MV!
Wellll they are coming to London to headline one of BST Hyde Park days! I heard production for that can sometimes be on the scale of a full concert. Otherwise, they won’t be in the UK for the rest of 2024. But maybe you want to save your first time seeing them in an actual concert which is probably more intimate than a festival.
That is hilarious that you loved Boxer bc in my opinion Encore was PERFECT except for Boxer! Or more like Boxer should not have been the ending. For the rest of the tour Haven was the ending song and it was amazing.
I just think about everything Bang Chan went through to get to being on that stage. Seeing his friends come and go. Not wanting to get close to people because they would eventually get cut. Then he gathers this band of stray kids and welcomes them, embraces them and wow look at what they have achieved.
I am so glad you checked this out, because it allowed me to relive my Stray Kids discovery. You know those times where you are like “I wish I could listen to/watch this for the first time again”. Like go back and relive those emotions you had experiencing something life changing? Maniac tour was it for me. It is the best tour I have ever seen and is yet to be topped (sorry to say even by SKZ themselves). Like you mentioned the choreo, the pacing, the liveliness, the energy, the charisma, the interaction. It was peak. My vote is you download that 18GB monster and watch it again in all its Blu Ray glory. Looking forward to SKZ week this week hehe.

Absolutely loved your reaction! I agree with your comment about them being able to do so much, because they’re involved in the production. It really makes a difference that they can create songs/shows that are perfectly tailored for them. Their hard work def shows through. Hoping you’ll get to see them live someday.

I was left absolutely speechless. LIKE WHAT?!? I LOVED IT!!! I LOVED THE CONCERT AND THE REACTION!!! From beginning to end. It made me so emotional even though I was just viewing it through the screen. As you said the passion for music and chemistry that these boys show is insane. I really enjoyed it. Thank you so much for your reaction.

You posted so fast! So glad you liked it!
They really do have next level stamina because the energy the boys have from start to finish is insane!
But I think you really nailed it when you said being self produced makes their concerts even more special. There’s an obvious love, comfortability and passion when they perform and I think a big part of that is those are their songs, their experiences. They love what they do, love performing and it’s infectious!
When I saw maniac tour live in concert I actually did cry so I get the feeling.

omg i'm so happy that you enjoyed it so much! i feel like stray kids concerts are just so special, the amount of genuine chemistry combined with the confidence they have in each other as well as themselves and their own raw abilities is just so enjoyable to watch. i think that their concerts have always especially stood out to me because for me personally their concert performances are like 10x better than their award show performances. i think it's because in some of their award show performances they can get a bit carried away with their props and making a big spectacle to the point where it almost does the opposite and takes away from the performance. the live band also makes the concerts better than award shows obviously haha
anyway, i just think it's so great to watch them really shine and to me they are one of the best examples of a group that doesn't need any bells and whistles to deliver amazing performances. thank you very much for taking the time to react to this, very excited to watch and experience this one with you :)

I am so happy with how much you liked this! I can’t wait to watch this again, through your eyes, tonight.
As for other concerts of theirs, there are some fan cams of US concerts that are fun. The LA one Seungmin has fun getting STAYs to swear. Lol. You will definitely see more of his fun personality and more expression. It’s a totally different vibe…almost like they’re more free because there aren’t as many social constraints, maybe? The link that I posted with the other content…the 5 Star dome tour is in Japan and the venue is huge. Japan STAYs are such a great crowd, too.

This is another concert I saw live twice in LA - the original, then the encore tour. They are phenomenal and that live band was everything. I need every group to have a live band. It adds so much more to the experience. Side note: I saw Stray Kids live first before seeing Twice. I was pleasantly surprised to see Twice also added their live band section. I saw Itzy live next and there was no live band section. They'll be here in June so I'll see if they upgraded with the band.

I saw them live in LA last year and it was so amazing. My cousin who works in entertainment went with me (he’s also a former DJ) and he said he’s never been more impressed by a concert before.
