- [All] Step out!
Hello, we are Stray Kids.
[upbeat music]
- We will be breaking down our favorite music videos.
- Let's go!
["Easy" by Stray Kids]
- This is "Easy" from 2020.
What I remember the most was
this was like after - "God's Menu".
- So this was like around like April or March.
So it was really hot.
- [All] Yeah. - That's what I remember.
- And we were like filming in the desert as well.
- The desert.
- [Several Speakers] Yeah.
and I got so burnt.
- Special effects makeup.
- Ah! - Ah, scars?
[Hyunjin speaking in Korean] [I.N speaking in Korean]
- The whole concept was I guess us being just young
and like very raw and like lively.
But yet, like if you look at the video itself
like the filters and like the effects that show
it's kinda creepy and like scary at the same time.
So it's kind of got that young horror movie vibe I guess.
So I think that's what we were going for.
You know how in this video
our hair colors were a bit toned down?
- [Several Speakers] Yeah.
Was there like a reason to that?
What do you guys think?
- Because I think everyone's hair was damaged after.
[Stray Kids laughing]
- You're very real. - Wow.
[Bang Chan laughing] - When we dye our hair,
our hairs are like. - [Felix] Frizzy.
- Or it was students concept, school life.
- [Bang Chan] Oh because, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- True, true, true.
- High school concept.
- Yeah [speaks in Korean]
- 'Cause we can't have like red, blue hair for students.
- Yeah.
- You're right.
- Our clothing, our style for this,
you know, this whole visual,
it was basically just very urban and not too school-based,
but it was just more like,
you know, a young and free vibe.
- How do I explain the lyrics?
It's just like [speaks in Korean].
Like whatever situation is, - Everything is easy.
- I just find it easy.
Whatever difficult situation I'm gonna, you know,
think of it as it's an easy situation, just go off with it.
And it's very, it's a very confident song
if you think about it.
- Yeah. This is BackDoor from 2020.
- [All] Yeah! 2020!
- Wow.
- Our first official debut song
is a song called District 9. Right?
- Yeah.
- And for the teasers for that song,
we were the ones who were wearing
like all white hoodies and everything.
For backdoor tees, we were facing against like bodyguards.
And then back behind us we had like people with
like white hoods showing that, you know, we are starting to,
you know, recruit more people who are, you know,
a part of our Stray Kids empire.
- In the end of BackDoor we got
like a full army of, you know, people in white hoodies.
- Oh.
- There's three concept, maybe.
- Bellboy.
- Bellboy concept.
- The Korean traditional. Humble.
- Humble.
- Oh. Yeah.
- Humble concept.
- And then tattoo. Tattoos.
- Yeah, Tattoos.
- Yeah.
- They were like see through skins.
They were skins.
- Three hours.
- Oh, three hours.
- Yeah. Three hours.
- Wow.
- And I love your hair. Red hair.
- Oh.
- I loved it.
- Yeah. 'Cause I had short --
- Angry bird
- red hair. Everyone called me --
- Angry bird.
Yeah. Angry Bird. Said I looked like a chicken. [Laughter]
- This is Maniac from 2022. -
[Cheering]
- There is definitely a lot more color
- [Several Speakers] Yeah.
- put into Maniac.
One of the key words for Maniac would be maniac itself
but then just maniac being us showing different
colors is why it's so vibrant in colors.
- I just wanted to connect a little bit more
with, I guess, the visual effects.
And that really just brought out what Maniac should look
like. And that the fact that we all really blended in well
with the visuals show, like this is the new normal kind
of feel.
And so yeah, just even looking at it, not even
only the colors, but also
like, the set and, like, how it would, like, change.
Like right now.
- Oh.
- My red hair.
- This was sprayed, wasn't it?
- Yeah.
- This was spray?
- He was --
- It was spray.
- It was spray and spray, oh, but,
but in music video I, yeah, it was color.
So it took, it took
- Like four hours?
- Yeah. Four --
- Really?
- Four
- Oh my god.
- to five.
- Hours.
- Four or five.
- 'Cause his hair's long too.
- Yeah. My long hair.
- Stunts.
- Yeah. I mean --
- He's good at stunts.
- Yeah. He do the parkour all by himself.
- Yeah.
- Oh, so he had a stunt actor.
- Yeah, stunt actor. Yeah.
A stunt actor
- Stunt.
- would wear our clothing, or my clothing
and then, like, they would, like, record that part
and then, yeah. Affect it.
- Yeah.
- This is Thunderous from 2021.
[Cheering]
- This was our first comeback after we finished
- Kingdom.
- Yeah.
- We tried to put in a lot of stuff into the video.
It's very, it's got a lot of, a lot to see.
There's so much in it.
I remember the first time when we saw the rough copy
of the video, we were like, What is this?
- Oh.
- What's happening here? 'Cause he only said, like,
animation coming soon.
- Yeah. Animation.
- Yeah, animation going to be here.
But then we, when we saw the final product
we were like, wow, this is crazy.
- Yeah.
- And it was so well connected to the scene where
Changbin comes out and we thought that was lit
as well.
- Yeah.
- Like goblin.
- I can't say goblin.
- But they --
- It's not goblin though.
- Korean goblin.
- Yeah.
- Traditional goblin.
- Yeah.
- Traditional goblin.
- He's red.
- Yeah.
- Red goblins was --
- like Hyunjin said, the red outfits were, you know,
to represent the Korean traditional goblin.
- Goblin.
- Yeah.
- And then there's also like a street very
raw outfit that was like the black outfit.
- Yeah.
- We just wanted the black outfit.
- And then the last one was again a [Korean word].
- Ah.
- Traditional clothes, traditional Korean clothes.
And then it was like, you know, black
and gold and I thought that was really, really
pretty.
- Yeah.
- I like that one.
- That was first time just trying on long pieces.
Honestly, that was like a real pain.
But then at the same time it came out really well.
So I was just really happy that, you know, Oh wow.
The visuals that are for, you know, Thunderous,
came out very well.
So like, without me realizing, I was just like,
like swinging it back, like, like hit the members with it.
Like.
- One of my favorite part --
- Very happy.
- On hook two Felix doing this.
- Yeah.
- And then the switch.
- That was crazy.
- The switch.
- Yeah.
- You gotta give a, you know,
like, a really big credit to, I guess, how like
the hair and the makeup and like the clothes as well.
Like the three of them just mixes so well.
- Perfect.
- It's like just perfect.
So a big shout out to our stylist over there.
- Stylists.

for the fun time.
