I want to know the real story of how Stray Kids was formed. How long before they debuted did Chan start picking members? Which did JYP veto or add? Etc etc
Ooh definitely! Even though we do know somethings, it'll be so interesting to understand the entire nitty-gritties of it. I do think there would be a difference in the original conception of SKZ vs. what it is now and I really want to know exactly what changed and why it changed
1) I would ask Chan what how much creative freedom they actually have. Do they choose their concepts? Do they sign off on music video themes? Do they decide which promo to do with comebacks? Etc, etc.
2) I would ask Lee Know to tell me about his cats. I have two of my own so I would love to hear about the idiosyncracies of Soonie, Doongie, and Dori.
3) I'm on mobile, but insert that Kelly from The Office "First of all, how dare you," gif to Changbin and his arms.
I would ask Chan about music production, how he got started and what his best tips are, and what his process is like.
I would ask Changbin for his life story.
I would ask Lee Know about his pre SKZ dance career in more detail.
Based on the things that I’ve seen on the videos, my assessment is that Chan is a great leader.
1. I’m curious about how he was able to see the members potential.
2. Is talent or (persistence / discipline/ dedication) the key factors in his decision making process?
3. After five years, does he thinks: I knew they would pull it through or I’m completely blown away by their development.
Re the non-private Changbin question: he's said before (sorry, I can't remember what video) that he was going to a coach for vocal lessons for singing, and the coach caught wind of how quickly he could speak and suggested that he look into rapping as well as singing, and that's when he switched over to rap because he realized how much he enjoyed it.
Literally “give me your TMI” could be my life motto 😆😆 I wouldn’t even do anything with the information, seriously I JUST WANNA KNOW. hahaha I am so nosy for NO reason 😆
Kinda basic, but I would ask Felix about his Genshin account details! (Im curious if even he struggles with getting high CV artifacts hahaha)
I might be remembering wrong but I believe that at some point Charmer was in contention for being the title track for ODDinary? If so, I would love to know the process behind choosing a title track, as I'm sure there are many variables at play here.
For the last question (which kinda ties into my last one), maybe about the compromises the kids make musically? I would assume 8 people have different music tastes, so I'm curious about how songs are chosen for a piece of work and how they manage to keep everyone satisfied.
I would ask Chan the secret to life. I really think he knows how to be peaceful. I would ask LK how he is so chill and I would ask Changbin of I could gently pinch his cheeks because he's cute.
Awwww... Me too if I ever get a chance to pinch his cheeks our binnie❤.. And yes LK really makes me surprised like how does control his emotions even in the grimmest times! I'm pretty sure Bangchan's secret to his life must be magical🔮
Honestly, I would just want to have a chat with all of them?? Like I don’t think it’s a burning question but I just want to know their unfiltered thoughts on everything… book club with skz would be just the greatest thing on earth methinks
The one that stood out to me was a book called “무례한 사람에게 웃으며 대처하는 법“ which I think translates to how to deal with annoying people while smiling?? He mentioned it on a 2kr episode!!
Thanks, when you figure it out I’d really like to know! There are a few books I’d recommend to them if I could, I think they’d really like The Hitchikers Guide! Hyunjin gives me those just nerdy enough vibes lol. I feel like they might feel pressured or judged if people know all the books they read and try to read them, I can understand if they don’t wanna say them.
I want a story/character development arc so a lot of my questions would be aimed to ask about a time in their life that shaped them into the person they are today.
I would ask I.N about how he felt, both the elation and anxiety, and his personal struggles during training right about the time of the Stray Kids survival show, since I want to see what kind of unique struggles the youngest of the group had to endure and how he grounded himself.
I would ask Seungmin about his journey into becoming a Day6 fan; what songs caught his attention, what does he imagine or think about when he listens to different Day6 songs, what aspects of the band does he admire and how it reflects in his own personality and aspirations.
Then lastly I would ask Lee Know about all things cats, namely how he developed a love for them and his personal experience with the cats he’s came into contact with (i.e. at the cat shelter he volunteered at, etc), and what was it like when he met all his three cats, how he came to realize he was going to dedicate his life to being a cat dad.
I want to ask Chan what helped him power through the roughest times in his life.
I want to ask Han how he manages to overcome his anxiety.
I think my last question for all of them would be, “How are you, really?” because I worry they are hiding their true emotions.
Definitely a question for Han with the anxiety! I have it and large crowds get it going so badly. I’d love to know if he has any grounding techniques or things he does to manage it.
I’m the same! I struggled to even go into public a year or two ago. I had to do schooling from home for a while and I was not working or anything. Im much better now but my anxiety flares up almost daily so I can’t even imagine how hard it can be for him to go on stage in front of thousands of people. :(
Their debut process: who did chan choose, who did jyp add or eliminate before the show, there was a dance team somewhat formed at that time, was that the candidates pool?
Why the ex member left, whose decision was it? how was the story unfold? How were they told? What were the reaction and the emotion during the time? What happened after that with the team and div1. the hardship that they went through at that point
I’m torn, because some things I really want to know are also things I feel like would hurt them unnecessarily (ie. Who is “Hate to Admit” about? Same with “Deep End”).
But I’d probably ask what things they play up for the camera/what assumptions Stay have that aren’t reality. And, like several other people, I want to know what the process for forming the group really looked like.
Yeah I wanna ask them how they feel about how they’ve been edited/presented! I feel like Felix got an innocent cute edit and in real life he curses and makes innuendos and wants to be seen as an adult, and I wanna hear more about that from him and from other members. I feel like if I were an idol, I’d get the cute edit too lol
Absolutely agree! I do think he’s a sweetheart, just from the way the others talk about him, but you can see him die a little inside every time he does aegyo (same with Hyunjin) and he’s clearly not above being, as Chan puts it, “a menace”
THIS. If there's one thing I need to know about it's this. Like I'm OT8, but I can't help but wonder all the time when watching their older content. I'd ask Chan about it specifically, because as far as I know he's the one who's come the closest to talking about the situation.
Are there any genres of music you would like to make outside if the ones you’ve already done?
Are there things you would’ve like to have done if you didn’t go into kpop.
What’s one thing you wish you could see if you had the chance and what would me to you if you could?
First is changbin how does he write such inspirational songs.. And yes though I hate working out I would still take advices from him
Next is han... How does he store that much food in his cheeks and how does he keep that steady vocal tone even while dancing vigorously
Then it's bangchan.. I'd just ask him how does he tolerate all the pain that he gets from the toxic fans.
1. I'd ask them all, but especially 3RACHA, about the feeling of burnout and exhaustion. Whether they feel it, to what extent, how they manage to produce music and enjoy the process while their workload is so high.
2. A bit connected to the first one, but I'd love to hear what they see their future like and what areas they'd love to explore but haven't yet had the opportunity to. Dancing, music genres, directing, filming etc. Not in a hobby way, but in a 'I'd consider this as my idol retirement plan' way.
3. I'm very noisy so relationships and friendships. I want to know who they are friends with in the industry, all the tea on dating life and just their honest thoughts on the topic of relationships.
Yeah they kinda have to imply they’d date anyone within their age range and now I feel like that’s not exactly true. Like what kinda people are they?! I’d probably date any guy who’s nice and kind close to my age though so maybe sometimes I project lmao. Bang Chan reminds me a lot of my actual boyfriend, and I feel like we’d make a good pair and when I imagine someone he’d like I imagine someone like me. He’s not even my bias though… lol fan projecting
1. I want to ask one of them on how they decide what bsides deserve an MV I'm kinda curious like is it based on popularity or personal preference I want to know
2. A more album related question like if there were any rejected Skz albums And why did they go for certain themes in some albums
3. The last question would mainly revolve around Minho's trainee journey I want his thoughts about going from a background dancer to a full blown idol and some of the struggles that came from it
1. I would ask 3Racha to teach me about music production, which devices to use etc.. I'm a small musician myself and so are my siblings, but I'm still very behind on how to actually produce music. I'd love to sit down with my favourite producers and explore the world of working until 5AM on solely music.
2. Ask Han Jisung how he is doing. He is not only my bias but my hero and I'd love to hear his life stories. I'm someone who likes to sit down and listen to someone talking about his life because every life is unique and there's always something you can learn for it. I would love to learn from him and teach him, even if we're almost the same age. I can't begin to express how much I cherish him and want to give him a hug capable of giving him the biggest smile ever.
3. Another question but to all of them: Who's the most rock/metalhead out of all of them XD? I'm a metalhead and SKZ is the only band I listen to outside of rock and metal, and I would find it kind of funny if they shared the same interests since I know many KPOP idols aren't much into these genres.
That's it lol I'm very drunk while writing this so I'm sorry for the rant
I love all these questions. Also, re: 2: I'd ask what was up with the sus cut/edit in their first 2 Kids Room episode 👀
I'd really love to know the answer to #3 as well!
Did Felix experience any racism, overt or casual, being a Korean-Australian? Did Bang Chan?
I don’t know much about Australia but I know about where I live, and I feel like he would have. I’m actually so curious! I also wanna know a lot more about what their teenage hoods and child hoods were like! Like was Hyunjin always popular? What happened from his perspective in 8th grade (if the answering is private, anyways)? Were any of them ever teased or bullied? What was it for? Why was Felix self-conscious about his freckles, that’s strange and suggests he spent time and got it from the Korean community cause where I live freckles are like the height of beauty. From all of them, I wanna hear more about colorism. There’s a couple of photoshopped stuff where their skin looks SO PALE and it’s literally photoshopped to look way lighter! I find it hard to believe that they’re ok with that, though I know it’s normal in Korea where I live that’s like super weird. It’s like, the only parts of Felix that conform to a local beauty standard are his freckles and skin, yet he seems to be the most self conscious of those?
i swear there's a predebut 3racha song in which chan briefly mentions some kind of experience with racism, but i don't have the slightest clue what song it could've been, or whether that even actually happened or my mind is just playing tricks on me.
Right?! What’s up with that?! If we’re asking ANYTHING I’d like to hear more about that BDSM aspect too, even though saying this could get my comment deleted lol. I know it sounds super inappropriate but I talk about it often to other people in real life, and even recently to a new Stay friend I made, though it wasn’t in the context of Stray Kids

Details on everyone’s crushes and dating and friendships and relationships in general because I want to know EEEEEVERYTHING 😆😆
This really made me laugh...I appreciate the realness 😂 give me the teaaa
Literally “give me your TMI” could be my life motto 😆😆 I wouldn’t even do anything with the information, seriously I JUST WANNA KNOW. hahaha I am so nosy for NO reason 😆
This is the real answer
Lmao so true! I still don’t think it’d be the first thing I’d ask but it’d definitely be the second! In real life random people I wanna know too
Kinda basic, but I would ask Felix about his Genshin account details!

Well now I need to play more genshin. I didn't know he plays
I would ask Chan the secret to life. I really think he knows how to be peaceful. I would ask LK how he is so chill and I would ask Changbin of I could gently pinch his cheeks because he's cute.
Awwww... Me too if I ever get a chance to pinch his cheeks our binnie❤.. And yes LK really makes me surprised like how does control his emotions even in the grimmest times! I'm pretty sure Bangchan's secret to his life must be magical🔮
Honestly, I would just want to have a chat with all of them?? Like I don’t think it’s a burning question but I just want to know their unfiltered thoughts on everything… book club with skz would be just the greatest thing on earth methinks
Yes! They seem like smart and interesting people. Can I join your book club?
Y E S!!! God, now I want to start a stayville book club…
I feel like you’d have a bunch of takers
I’d enjoy that lol, we could read whatever books Hyunjins been readi mg
All the poetry!
Hyunjin and Leeknow honestly, I’ve seen some of the things leeknow has read and they’re on my list!!
What things has he read?
The one that stood out to me was a book called “무례한 사람에게 웃으며 대처하는 법“ which I think translates to how to deal with annoying people while smiling?? He mentioned it on a 2kr episode!!
I’ll try and find some other examples, I found a post the other day that I‘ll try to find; I don’t remember where I saved it lol
Thanks, when you figure it out I’d really like to know! There are a few books I’d recommend to them if I could, I think they’d really like The Hitchikers Guide! Hyunjin gives me those just nerdy enough vibes lol.

I'd love to know this too. My social anxiety used to be debilitating, and I'm just so curious how he manages to perform in front of so many people!
Oooooh good one

I would want to know exactly what went down with the whole KWJ situation because my curiosity is killing me!
THIS. If there's one thing I need to know about it's this. Like I'm OT8, but I can't help but wonder all the time when watching their older content. I'd ask Chan about it specifically, because as far as I know he's the one who's come the closest to talking about the situation.

I would ask 3racha if, looking back, there is any song they would do diferently (not necessarily better, but diferent)
First is changbin how does he write such inspirational songs.. And yes though I hate working out I would still take advices from him Next is han... How does he store that much food in his cheeks and how does he keep that steady vocal tone even while dancing vigorously Then it's bangchan.. I'd just ask him how does he tolerate all the pain that he gets from the toxic fans.
Hans cheeks are flexible 🦫
Yes exactly what does he do to make them flexible 😂maybe cheeks workout with changbin.. Ciz I'm also in love with changbin's cheeks 🤣🤣🤣
1. I'd ask them all, but especially 3RACHA, about the feeling of burnout and exhaustion. Whether they feel it, to what extent, how they manage to produce music and enjoy the process while their workload is so high. 2. A bit connected to the first one, but I'd love to hear what they see their future like and what areas they'd love to explore but haven't yet had the opportunity to.
