The fandom was found crying for 4 days in a row.

I can only imagine how heavy it must have felt for Chan when he realized he didn’t really know how Seungmin was feeling. When you’ve been like family with someone for so long, it’s not always easy to open up - and Seungmin, in his own quiet way, probably didn’t want to burden him. But that’s what makes Chan such a beautiful leader: even though he didn’t know, he chose to listen, to understand, and to promise himself to do better. He may not be perfect, but he'll always be there. And that’s what matters most.

Hyunjin was always right, "Seungmin loves Bangchan"😭❤️

The point here is that Chan looked at Seungmin like a mother looks at her middle child. She knows that since he doesn't cause problems and is independent, she'll go and worry more about the others who need more attention. The sad thing here is that Seungmin did need that attention but didn't ask for it or make it known because he didn't want to be a burden on Chan. It breaks my heart to think that Seungmin is the second maknae and despite that, he made an effort to do everything on his side. And I know that "Chan was just a kid taking care of other kids" and Seungmin knew it too. Seungmin carries so much inside and I hope that in private Chan talks to him properly, because I feel like in front of cameras he held back from talking and even changed the subject. I love my SKids so much. ❤

“You never scolded me..but you never gave me much attention either.” Oh Seungmin, my heart 😭 He was so young back then. He probably needed just as much guidance and praise as the others but it didn’t seem like it because he was doing so well, and because he probably didn’t let that need show on the outside. I hope he feels more healed after this conversation with Chan.

The way STAYs have been crying for 4 days straight: Day 1: 2 Kids Room teaser drops. (We get emotional) Day 2: ‘Goodbye’ is released. (We cry) Day 3: Seungmin’s IG post thanking Chan, and Chan replies, thanking him instead. (We cry even harder) Day 4: 2 Kids Room airs… and the first duo is BANG CHAN & SEUNGMIN, right after Goodbye?? Seungmin crying and Chan comforting him?? (Fandom found dead)

Seungmin's emotional intelligence is something rare to see. Its not easy to be frank and open when you know it might rock the boat but its a sign of maturity and care dare I say love. He values and admire Bang chan so much that not being authentic was not an option. He longs for channies approval. I really admire his strength. Crying and vulnerability are signs of courage.

I’m an Atiny. I decided to check this out because it wasn’t music, it was a one on one conversation. I have a new found respect for Stray Kids and the real affection Bang Chan and Seugnmin have for each other. Now I will watch all the episodes to get to know these boys. Mad respect for all of these boys working so hard in this industry.

i could tell seungmin was scared to lose him that's why he cried i felt that…

“Seungmin, Don’t cry… I’ll do better. Thank you, my little brother.” 😭😭😭😭😭

bangchan and seungmin being the first duo after Goodbye? my heart can’t handle this

15:52 "I was good to you guys." Seungmin is still Seungmin even when he's pouring his heart out. 😂🥰

seungmin said he felt good letting it all out because it's actually something that's really hard to let out and i'm so glad he was able to show that side of him and let it all out.. my baby i'm proud of you 😭

"i just like you despite all that" -seungmin to chan

Bangchan and Seungmin being the first duo after that heartfelt song? My heart can’t handle this. Chan comforting Seungmin when he cried, not even my box of tissues is enough now. ❤️‍🩹

I don’t know this group that well, but just from this video I can tell that seungmin and bangchan are genuinely good people. It’s hard to find that in idols you know. at the end of the day we don’t know idols personally, but just from the way they express themselves you can tell they are so emotionally mature. seungmin expressing his feelings after suppressing them because he looks up to bangchan, being and bangchan acknowledging them and saying he will do better is just peek communication that people with zero empathy lack. it’s not about being perfect, but moving forward positively which is important, and it’s so cute seeing their bond.

“I think it might be because you’re the group leader, and talking about things might be difficult. These are the parts I worry about” Yup. I’m still crying. Them looking at their photos together 🙏🏻

Seungmin: It'll be awkward if this moment is inserted Directors: Inserting crying Seungmin into the teaser ..... p. s. But I'm glad he was able to show his emotions. Sometimes you have to let it all out. I really love Seungmin and all the other members. They deserve to show us their tears at least once in a while❤

When I saw Seungmin crying in the teaser.. i already guessed, it must be with Bangchan. Seungmin tends to emotional when it comes to Chan. The adoration, respect, and empathy are rly showing everytime he looked at him. Like when Chan cooking or doing something, Seungmin wud suddenly try to feed him cuz Chan served others first, n Seungmin wanted to take care of Chan as well. Despite they're bickering all the time, they do care for each other a lot.

i wish chan would realize how much of a genuine good person he is 💔 please never apologize for being the honest and passionate person you are…

Seungmin and Chan are similar in some ways-they both tend to keep things to themselves and rarely cry. But when it’s just the two of them, they seem to feel safe enough to show their emotions. When Seungmin cried, it reminded me of the time Chan cried in front of him while they were eating gukbap. It’s so moving and adorable how, despite past conflicts and misunderstandings, they’ve become just like a family..

I really want it to be 28 episodes, just like before! The friendship between every pair is very special…

The way Bangchan started to comfort Seungmin and brought him tissues when he was crying is so cute 🥹❤️‍🩹

お互いをリスペクトしあって、想いあって、見ていて心が温まる。バンチャンもスンミンも一生幸せでいてね。

I don’t think Seungmin cried just because of the song. Sometimes when you talk to someone who has always been there in your life, someone who has seen both your highs and lows, your heart just softens without warning. That kind of bond hits deep, and even the calmest conversation can bring tears. I understand you, Seungmin😊

I understand Seungmin. Just because it was a long time ago and everything is so much better now. When you recall a painful or sad memory, you cannot shake the feeling, even if it occurred a long time ago.

Seungmin doesn't open up easily...but when he does, he expresses his feelings deeply...and the fact that he told Chan that is because he truly means it...seeing how much they've grown fills me with pride and nostalgia ...🩵

He felt fond. Fondness is an encapsulated feeling that is really hard to describe.

Chan and Seungmin’s relationship is the best. The way Chan went right over to Seungmin when he started to cry and immediately started to comfort him. 😭

私たちファンはやっぱりアイドルのほんの一部分しか知らなくて、皆しんどいこと辛いこと悔しいこといーっぱい抱えながらも、外に出さないように楽しくしてくれてるんだなとつくづく思うよ。 私たちはすごく楽しませてもらってるし、そんな重圧を背負った人達が作った曲で感動したりしてる。 本当に私が言えることは何もないししてあげられることも何もないんだけど、せめて彼らの安寧と彼らの人生が彩っていることを祈らせてほしい。 いつもありがとうStraykidsのみんな。

The moment I saw Seungmin tear up, I did too. His words, "I'll prove myself to him," struck me. It was a touching moment to see Seungmin opening up to Bang Chan, who is truly a reliable big brother. He understood Seungmin's concerns. It was a very emotional episode.

2 Kids Room見てこんなに泣く事になるとは思わなかった😢号泣。 スキズはメンバー皆が仲良くて本当に家族みたいな素敵なグループ。これから先も8人でずっと歩み続けて欲しいと願う✨

Seeing Seungmin open up like that was truly moving. The way he said he couldn’t express how he felt to Chan in the past because he didn’t want to burden the leader with "insignificant" thoughts shows just how much respect and care he held from the very beginning. And when he cried… I couldn’t take it. My heart shattered, and I ended up crying with him. Seungmin is usually so composed and reserved with his emotions, so seeing him break down like that was overwhelming. It felt so real, so raw it went straight to the heart. His words hit so deeply: “If it weren’t for you guys, no matter how much I loved music, I would’ve never thought of doing this forever.” That shows that beyond the passion and talent, what truly keeps Stray Kids going is their love for each other. And that final line “I want to be someone my team can be proud of”, it says everything. Seungmin wants to grow, not just for himself, but for the people he respects and loves the most. Chan response was just as touching. The way he sincerely thanked Seungmin, saying that his honesty helped him pay more attention to the details… It showed so much humility and emotional growth. Chan’s openness to feedback, even when it stings, proves the kind of leader he truly is. This episode reminded me why I love this group so much. It’s not just the music or the performances, it’s their humanity, their honesty, and the way they truly care for one another. And that kind of connection… you can’t fake🤍

Even though Seungmin calls Bangchan old and teases him 24/7 he loves Bangchan SOO much. Im crying😭 Theyre all growing up😭😭

Seungmin rapping while gaming is something I'll always remember from here on out 😂

苦しかった時だけじゃなくて好きなんだって素直な気持ちを吐き出す時も涙って出るよね。普段素直じゃない人ほどね。

Seungmina thanks for telling Chan he doesn't need to do better and just keep on doing what he's doing rn.

Chan:I will do better Seungmin:No just keep on doing what ur doing

they need to do more things like this. with things like this the members really get to express their feelings like seungmin did

부딪히는 경험도 하면서 많이 서로 존중해가고 서로 알아가고 좀더 깊은 사이가 되어가고, 서로가 옆에 있어서 성장헤 나가는것같아. 그리고 그걸 스테이들도 느끼고. 너네가 그냥 노래잘하고 잘생긴 아이돌이였으면 나도 이렇게 많이 좋아하진 않았을것같아. 영원한건 없다는걸 알지만, 스테이, 스키즈의 영원을 바라. 빌보드 1위하고, 그래미 가는 그런건 우리도 좋지만, 그저 같이 음악하고 서로 웃고, 싸우기도 하고 그러면서 성장해 나가고, 그걸 보는 스테이도 많은걸 느끼는 그런 여정이 되었으면 좋겠다. 나는 확신해, 내가 다른 아이돌이 눈길이 갈수는 있지만, 영원히 스키즈와 함께 하겠다는걸.

I am happy that Seungmin could let all of this out and Chan tried his best to comfort him, but also gave him the space to feel whatever he feels. Getting into arguments, but finding ways to resolve them has built the SKZ family we know now.

The way Seungmin entered the room happily and went out with swollen eyes 😢

6:10 that little "Come on men" oh… Chan your the best leader ever…

I rarely ever cry, but seeing Seungmin cry almost brought me to tears😭 (Also, when speaking Korean, Bang Chan sounds so much more mature then before! AND IM HERE FOR IT😈)

16:45 my little brother… okay I crying so bad

永遠という言葉を信じてなかったスンミンが“ずっと”ていう言葉を使ってくれるのこっちまで涙 どこかのライブのメントで“永遠を信じたい”みたいなことも言ってたよねたしか…

SEUNGMIN'S OLD VIDEO OF HIM RAPPING WAS ADORABLEEE He's truly the hidden ace of Stray Kids Changbin you better watch out for our Seungmo!!!

The way seugmin just burst out crying makes it even more sad like is it just me or when i see other people crying ir sad it makes me tear up so bad i started crying😢😢 but thankfilly kid heartd bangchan litened up the mood and made he laugh i love stray kids so much ❤

心を許したチャニの前だからこそ、無意識に感情が溢れて涙がこぼれたんだろうな。 グループのメンバー、仕事仲間、先輩、そういうのを超えて家族の会話だなと思った。

Ngl, they're all Chan's kids but Seungmin has always felt like HIS kid the most to me. Always striving for perfection, always trying to get their attention.. even if he doesn't break down often, its nice to see he feels so safe with Chan that he can.

バンチャンもスンミンもそれぞれ確固たる意思や信念を持つタイプなのに、それでも仲間のこととなると自分を犠牲にするタイプだから、互いを思うばかりにこういうことが起きるんだろうな。そして2人とも自分にすごく厳しいし、良いものを作るということに関して妥協を許さないタイプだから、お互いが守らなきゃいけないことに対して、もどかしく感じるところもあったんだろうな。人に優しく、自分に厳しく、そしてスキズのことが何よりも大切なチョンダムズがすごく伝わってくる動画だった。涙が止まらない。ありがとう、そしてずっとスキズのこと大好き。

We tend to argue most with the people we care about. Not because we dislike them, but because their opinions matter to us. If someone doesn’t mean much to you, you wouldn’t bother engaging deeply or emotionally. That’s what makes Seungmin’s interaction with Chan so meaningful. Seungmin is usually reserved when it comes to expressing his emotions. But with Chan, his walls collapse. He becomes unguarded, like a younger sibling with an older one, and the emotions he usually keeps hidden from the world come pouring out. I think that’s what Seungmin is trying to say: that he cares so deeply for Chan, he doesn’t have to filter himself; in fact, he can’t. In a world where he usually has to stay composed, polite, and considerate of others, Chan brings out his most honest, unfiltered self. It’s not just safety, it’s the kind of emotional closeness that makes you act without thinking, feel more than you intended, and let things out even when you didn’t mean to. That’s the power of their bond.

1番初めにこれを出してくれてありがとう...こういう話が出来る機会があって、しかもそれを私たちにみせてくれてありがとう

seungmin was always the type to just not talk about his emotions to other people and keep it to himself but seeing him crying because he cared about chan so much litterally broke me. he loves chan deeply inside but shows it less often. hope he understands it isnt embarrasing at all to cry here. i love their friendship so much

2kids roomの中でも傑作の中に入る。涙なしには見れません。

As a stay, it's been almost three years i haven't kept up with straykids. It's nice to see they are still caring at each other. Still the same passion as before. It's not common for kpop groups to stay consistent. I'm happy for them.

I understand Seungmin - he never wanted to add problems to Chan, who was carrying their future. And now, seeing how difficult it is for him, Seungmin does not want to complicate his life, but at the same time, as an already established artist, he wants to express himself more in his work. Good guys, let everything be fine❤

This became really deep, really fast... I admire Seungmin for expressing himself so openly,and I admire Chan for being there to comfort him and just listen. Chan does so much for the members and it shows. I think Chan is an amazing human being and I wish him happiness and I hope he knows,how much the group is there for him.❤❤

This episode made me appreciate even more all of Chan's efforts as a leader and the way Seungmin understands him without judgment. Thank you for showing us this real side of you 💖

When seungmin cried I think around 2 million people teared up ... All of the stays love u Minnie ❤❤❤ please take care of yourself and love yourself ❤❤

5:55 the way seungmin started to let out all his tears out then channie rushed to him and comforted him w his big hug, my chanmin heartt 🥹

When i saw the teaser I KNEW I was going to cry. I almost started crying in a mall while eating Chinese food 😭

It is hard when you have that "perfect child" that doesn't require much correction...they tend to get a bit left behind because the other kids get more attention for the needed correction.

11:07 이 부분이 보는 나도 진짜 진심이라고 생각하는 이유가, 최근에 회피형인 친구랑 손절했는데 난 차라리 충돌하면서 풀기를 원했는데 그 친구는 이미 나랑 풀 마음조차 없었어.. 승민이처럼 오래 볼 사람이라고 판단했으면 피하지 않고 이야기했을 텐데.. 그 친구는 이미 먼저 날 내적 손절했던 거지.. 그래서 난 지금 둘의 관계와 대화가 너무너무 부럽고 둘이 얼마나 진심인지 스키즈가 얼마나 서로 사랑하는지 또 한번 느꼈어

The fact chan has so many videos and photos of seungmin is actually so adorable

スンちゃんは手がかからない子だったから何でもそつなくこなしているように見えるけど、まだまだ子どもだったし、悩みや不安をどう消化すれば良いか分からなかったんだよね。いっぱいいっぱい頑張ったね。

8人を観てたら本当にstraykidsというグループに人生かけてきてるか分かって尊敬するしかっこいいと思う。本当に素敵な人達です。私も頑張ろうと改めて思えるなぁ

Seeing this made me cry so much seeing seungmin let out his emotions and chan listening to him and they just having a deep conversation isn't something we get to see often its nice to see the relationship that they have and know they are both there for eachother, all this after the song has made the whole of stayville cry endlessly 😢

Seungmin crying when he remembers him and Chans memories past memories, I love how Chan comforts him in a way where Seungmin just lets it all out ❤️‍🩹 “When I think about him, my heart aches a bit”

There is something so special about this duo. They are both such beautiful souls. Neither of them wants to take from the other and they just want to keep giving but are also so conscious of the other needing support, they just keep shoving the support back at each other like a seesaw.

With Seungmin, from the beginning, I don't think we've publicly seen many struggles. From the survival show, he just seemed like a natural talent, self-driven and didn't have to prove himself in the way that some of the other members did. In fact of the maknae line, he has probably gotten the least amount of attention, because he seems so mature, and like he can handle himself. But you can see through his music, just how deeply he cares and how much he went through. Especially about Chan, I think he seeks his approval but also wants to protect Chan and not burden him any further. I remember thinking just how heavy and emotional his journey must have been after 'As we Are' was released because I think he so clearly laid out his struggles and how much he had to go through. I think what he felt in this episode, was just a feeling of being overwhelmed by his feelings for Chan and his members. Sometimes when you've been through the struggle and come out the other side, and everything is going well, that's when the emotions come out about what a difficult journey you've had. I love this episode, but wow was it a heavy start to this series!

Oh god the emotions in this feel so genuine... I wanna cry.

スンミンが｢ずっと続けたい｣って言ってくれるの、ほんとうにありがたい…… こんな純粋な心の持ち主のスンミンが ずっと続けたいって思えるチームを作ってくれたチャニには感謝しかない…

9:32 THIS PART like Chan needs to confirm if they're good 😭 I bet he's shocked how Seung cried easily

予告のときから、相手バンチャンかなと思ってたけどやっぱりバンチャンだよね〜 いつも飄々としているスンミンの熱い思いが聞けて、胸がいっぱいになりました。 バンチャンもつられて泣いちゃうんじゃないかと思ったけど、こういうところで優しく相手に寄り添うお兄ちゃんだよね、本当に最高のリーダー

I had to pause it a couple times to stop myself from crying this is so cute and sad at the same time😭😭

Ok, but seeing how Chan wanted to comfort Seungmin so he wouldn't cry anymore, Chan worries about Seungmin and in the end wants to make him laugh with that beautiful laugh, it's emotional to see the camaraderie that these two have achieved in 7 years

승민이의 눈물은... 방찬이라는 사람을 너무 좋아하고 사랑하니까 서운하고 서러운 마음을 섣불리 말하기 힘들어서 나온 눈물같음... 서로 그런걸 말하는 성격이 아니라서 그런것같음..

The honesty in doing this - they could have put the episode in the bin and started again but they didn't. They showed the flaws and the strengths, vulnerability and compassion that exists between them. You made everyone cry probably but that's not a bad thing either. Thank you for sharing your humanity in this moment.

楽しませてくれたり、励ましてくれたり そういう場面が多いと思うけど、やっぱり人として辛い時はつらい顔もするし言葉もうまく言えないし そうだよな〜って思って涙を見てたら、自分もいま良い子の自分でいたくてしてる行動が実は辛いって気づいた。自分のことになって申し訳ないけど、ずっと見てたからこそ気付けたと思う 泣かせてくれてありがとう🙂

This made me realize how important and precious they are for each other To cherish someone like this that is a pure love!

スンミンはきっと他のメンバーより手がかからなくて、バンチャンもスンミンに任せたら大丈夫と言う信頼があったのかなと、でもスンミンもきっと甘えたかったりしたかったんだろうなぁと思いました。アイエンがマンネだけどスンミンもマンネと言っていい年齢。でも自分の気持ちを抑えて周りを気遣うスンミンの優しさは詐欺師を装ってても伝わってます！笑これからも大型犬ズで戯れ合ってて欲しいです！サランヘ❤❤❤❤

Seeing Seungmin cry broke something in me honestly

Most underrated duo. They both care about each other to the highest degree❤❤❤ I hope they stay close and never hide their feelings. I feel where both come from and I’m glad to see them approaching it kindly and maturely

すんちゃんも言ってたけど、普段言えないような事を面と向かって言える機会を作ってくれた2Kids roomというコンテンツはスキズにとってもSTAYにとっても貴重な時間であり企画してくれたスタッフの方に感謝申し上げたい👏

おばちゃん貰い泣き。スンミンにとってバンチャンは、守りたい人であり守ってくれる人でもあり、大好きで尊敬してるからこそ、意見が食い違った時に、わかって貰いたい、悔しい、寂しい、言い合いしたくない…と感情の波が押し寄せるんでしょうね。こうして素直に泣けるのも、信頼しているからこそ☺️永久保存版です！チャニペンオンマstay

Bangchans face when Seungmin said "Why do I feel like crying" really shows how much Bangchan cares for Seungmin. Stray Kids isn't just a band, they're family, brothers, and care for one another. Edit: OMG thank you guys so much for all the likes, I have never had this many likes before.

I actually broke down when Seungmin started crying 😭

STOP THE WAY SEUNGMIN CARES FOR CHAN SO MUCH EVEN IF HE DOESN'T SHOW IT. I honestly cannot express how much I cried after this episode, and I'm not ready for the following episodes.

泣けた　スンミンはチャニへの不満とかじゃなくて、自分の気持ちや想いをうまく伝えられなかったもどかしさなんかを思い出したのかな…　ずっと続けたいと思える仲間って本当に素晴らしい。いいグループだ❤🎉

승민이랑 찬이랑 많이 부딪혔다는걸 이 영상을 통해서 알았지만 그냥 이 영상을 보면 가족같아요 서로 좋지만 갈등은 있고 그걸 회피하지 않는 모습에 서로 사랑하는 가족처럼 보이네요 진실된 모습 보여줘서 감사합니다 스키즈 사랑해

이 챕터를 읽으면서 많이 울었지만 찬과 승민이가 서로를 얼마나 사랑하는지 보여주는 모습이 너무 행복해요 💗

こんなにもストレートに気持ちをぶつけて、滅多に泣かないスンミンが涙したのがこの瞬間で、それを真剣に受け止めて包み込み、もっと頑張るねと言えるバンチャン 本当に大事で大好きで、この関係がずっと続く確信がある なんて真っ直ぐな愛だろう 涙が止まらなかった、STAYになれて本当に幸せだと改めて思った

私たちが知らないところで思った以上に悩んだり、ツラいことがあるんだろうな。。 でも支え合って、最高の部分だけ見せてくれてありがとうしかない😭

Sungmin's way of expressing his love, gratitude and respect for Bang Chan really touched me. I've never seen Sungmin cry in front of the camera. Seeing his tears made me cry automatically. I love their friendship and their care for each other. I hope it stays like this forever.😢❤❤

I could say Sengmin like a deep person too. like he can say words that really instill in their hearts without him knowingly. He is a big person to others esp to their members. He can touch you deep down in your heart when he is speaking with them one on one.

13:50 Seeing him laugh is for me the sweetest thing in the whole world 😭 love em sm

なんて素敵なの 泣くしかない。チャニに伝えられてよかったね。 心の中にずっといる小さいスンミンが泣いちゃったんだね これからもあなた達をずっと応援してる。大好き！

スンミンはいつもはいたずらっ子で落ち着きがないように見えて、本当はとても繊細で✨ いつもバンチャンが構ってほしくてくっついてきても、照れてそっけない態度をとることが多いけど。 スンミンにとってバンチャンは、涙が溢れる程に大好きで尊い存在なのが伝わってきて感動しました。 ずっと抱えてきた思いを伝えることができて良かったね！スンミン

둘 사이에 어떤 서사가 있는지 알 수는 없지만 방찬님 보고 눈물이 주르륵 나요. 만약에 무뚝뚝하고, 상황을 회피하고 싶어하고, 정말 자기가 잘못한게 있으면 과거 얘기를 꺼내는게 싫어서 말을 돌리거나 "울지마"라고 할텐데, 울때는 울지 말라는 말 없이 옆에 가서 안아주고 달래주고, "이왕 이렇게 된거 다 얘기해보자"라고 하고...계속 말해줘서 고맙고 자기가 고칠 거 있으면 고쳐야 한다고 말하고. 내내 웃고. 그게 정말로 성격이 나쁜 사람이면 연기로도 절대 할 수 없는 거거든요. 그러다가 혼자 맨 마지막에 펜으로 쓸때는 '울지마 형이 더 잘할게ㅠ'하고 너무 다정한 말투와 그림과...그래서 눈물이 펑펑 났어요ㅠㅠ
