Popular Opinion: Stray Kids song is getting better and getting everytime they COMEBACK.

Minho: *drinks lots of water* me: "yess, stay hydrated kids."

Stray Kids: 8 Singers 8 Rappers 8 Dancers 8 ACTORS Next: 8 MCs

Stays lets get this to 30M today hahahahhaha let's show Chris what he's done to Stay.

song: talk about ex The whole comment : Minho drunk water

Lee Know staying hydrated

me: *watching this while sad and crying* other stays: *”gUYS GUYS GUYS MINHOS DRINKING WATER”*

Lee know sings like he's the main character of a kdrama..his vibe is just so boyfriend help- and the vocals ugh cheff's kissㅠㅠ wanna love them even more

Minho be like "water has so many benefits. If you're sick, drink water. If you want clear skin, drink water. If you're hungry, drink water. If you're sad, drink water."

My theory is that: They're representing the 8 sides of depression Felix represents suicide cause u see him lying next to that toy train Chan represents self hatred because he keeps on looking in the mirror and tries to drown himself Seungmin represents the constant laziness of not being able to commit to even a single task as hes slumped watching tv Jisung represents missing your old self cause he holds his shirt and smiles which is probably cause he misses his old personality Changbin represents the feeling of being drowned in fear of all sorts as u can see it in his eyes basically Hyunjin represents the feeling of trying to put everything back together but it just keeps getting worse as u see him mindlessly tryna put blocks together Minho now I'm a little unsure about him but i think he represents the feeling of society's pressure in a way as hes tryna do something good by watering the flower but at the same time hes angry cause when you're in the adolescence age society puts an overwhelming amount of pressure on u which u aren't able to fulfill And lastly jeongin represents the feeling of loneliness as u see him tryna celebrate something with a cake but hes alone and eats only the icing with an absolutely joyless expression But what I really love is that in the end they've all seemed to overcome these feelings and have fought of those ghosts In they end they gave a positive message Honestly whoever thought of this deserves a promotion IN CONCLUSION; Stanning Skz makes life BETTER. Edit: I loved the other thoughts put together and agree with them more and Y'all Stay healthy and str3am back door :>> Edit 2: Since this is so popular now I basically wanted to put out a kinda of disclaimer but if u ever feel like you're going thru depression or this just hits close to home PLZZ REMEMBER that u are not and will never be alone in this! and that its perfectly okay to ask for help. YOU MAKE STRAY KIDS STAY

I'm honestly in awe of Han's acting. I think his role could mean two things. He is either someone who is trying to move on but keeps on getting stuck in his old memories, Or (and this would be such a hard to thing to act), he is someone who went crazy from the sadness, laughing when he's hurting inside, so distant from reality, until it finally comes crashing on him and puts him in a slump (evident when he's playing with the shirt and then clutches the window for dear life as if he's finally sunk). The hardest role to act, congrats to Han for slaying it!

Here to support the channie stans. 😂❤

Lee know, if you see this, stop saying that you can’t act. you look so lovely and have nice face expression. if you want to try acting, PLEASE DO SO!

the song: sad intellectual stays: taking notes and making theories on what the mv means me and other clown stays: omg minho hydrated king

People: stray kids cannot make soft songs.. Stray kids: hold my ghost costume

Time stamp 9:40 p.m. February 15, 2024. Stays bad breakup with Chan 😂

I really appreciate this side they showed us in this mv. No fancy clothes, no synchronized dances, just them. And I may not understand a word, but I understand their feelings. Their humanity is the best thing they show us, and that's why I love them so much. Thank you, skz, for doing this. You guys saved me.

This song/ mv shows that different people different anxiety and depression, and have different type of coping up. But they also show that the only way to fight and coping up with depression is be with your true and trusted friend having goodtime, wandering around the world and having the best day of our life.

Them: Minho can't sing Meanwhile Minho: be killing them with his vocal in this video

이건 진짜 띵곡임 ...

Popular opinion : Everyone want to cry watching this MV

Popular opinion: Stray Kids kings of the 4th generation. STRAY KIDS WORLD DOMINATION

Here in the middle of 2025 and I still haven't gotten over Ex, how is it possible that Bangchan has written such a gem of heartbreak?

i think we didn't talk much about han jisung's acting here. his acting doesn't even look like an act. he really showed how it's like to lose someone he loved, as if he had experienced it himself. it still hurts me a lot until now. when i thought this boy couldn't be more talented that he already is, he proved me wrong.

*GOD’S MENU* : don’t be shy PUT some more *BACK DOOR* : don’t be shy KNOCK some more *EX* : don’t be shy DRINK some more

Minho: Drinks Water Me on Google: How to be water

아니 미친 리노야…??? 나 대체 왜 이제 본거니…

me: what's the first letter on the english alphabet? felix: *"ey"*

Popular opinion: I.N vocals getting better day by day.

Lee Know’s voice is heavenly

Don't forget to drink guys. And don't forget how many minho's cats are

People: thEy arE dEpreSs Stay's: YAS, DRINK THAT WATER

Jisung got crazy, Chan is derpressed and Minho is not drinking water even if they used water (si saben lo que quiero decir *ojo ojo, guiño guiño*)

woah changbin's voice in 2:55 is so beautiful

I realise that Im crying over a guy Who drink water, one Who see himself in the mirror, one that is playing with clothes and other with many colors block, one Who was eating a cake other that is sit in the sofa one in the stairs and other like in a gardern... But dont judge me... This... Make me so emotional TT

Mom: Why are you crying? Me: Minho drank waterrrrrr

Everyone: crying Minho: don't forget to stay hydrated . . So we can cry more

Chan drowning himself was actually pretty sad because with everything he's the only one I could see doing that

my mom literally just said: "tell the cute guy to stop drinking so much water" my mom is a stay

World: what's the secret of Lee Know's prettiness? Lee Know: * drinks water *

Locals: "Who is your bias?" Stays: "Yeah so we don't do that here."

How does Changbin keep punching me in the face with these lyrics. My goodness he is just amazing (and yes also Bang Chans second verse)

No one: Absolutely No one: Lee Know: Stay hydrated.

Ex mv theory: The lyrics are so broad but it reminded me so much of MIA. Recap if you don’t remember what MIA was about, it’s about missing the old you, when you were happy and smiling. In this case, I feel like their grieving over the loss of their innocence and youth. At first I thought it was a romantic break up but the way the mv was edited changed my mind. At the beginning when Felix got hit by the toy train I noticed the train itself was made up of two significant colors, Orange and Blue. Just like his vest. Changbin stood in front of pictures in the hallway. The way I interpreted this scene, pictures capture moments and he’s sitting at the top of the stairs looking sad and reminiscent and the blue paint on the windows could pay homage to his Streetlight song, implying he’s suffering internally and he’s not okay. Seungmin is sitting in front of a tv and Hyunjin is stacking erasers on top of each other and has crumpled up blue sticky notes around it. I couldnt get much out of Seungmin’s part bc the only thing I could associate youth with is watching tv all the time w/ no worries. Hyunjin’s tower of erasers grow higher as it falls apart. IN seems like he’s celebrating a birthday and even though there’s a set of utensils in front of him he steals frosting off the cake and eats it. There’s two candles, and birthdays are annual celebrations so it could also symbolize the group’s two yrs since debut. Minho drinking so much water could either be drowning himself in his sorrows or drinking a lot of water after playing outside. He pours out the water in the gardens like he’s pouring his feelings out as he watches the plants grow. Han is holding on to a long sleeve that could possibly belong to him and he’s trying to be a kid again by jumping on the bed and dancing and playing as a ghost, pretty much projecting how he feels. Chan reflects on himself and cries over the person he’s become. He tries to drown out the voices but as he does so the thoughts of the members brings him back to the light. The ghosts might represent the struggle of moving on. Ghosts are known for not moving on to the after life and I noticed after each member showed their inner ghosts, sunlight later shined on them which might mean “you may be feeling this pain now but everything will be okay.” An old friend used to tell me “Sometimes you have to go through the storm in order to get to the rainbow.” And i think that’s what the rainbow at the end symbolically meant. BUT I also noticed it was a double rainbow. Just like in Neverland. Soooo in conclusion the blue might also symbolize “Wendy’s” blue gown. She represents being a child and soon having to grow up. The toy train, watching tv, stacking erasers like blocks, stealing frosting from the cake, drinking water/playing outside, playing with hand paint, drowning out voices (parents telling you what to do/people telling you what be, inner demons,etc) are all signs of youth. When we see them happy, jumping in the sky it’s almost like they’re flying. (Peter Pan/lost boys flying when thinking happy thoughts) When they’re all together they’re happy and playful, and I feel like the garden could be their version of Neverland. They lost their innocence and had to grow up at early stages in their lives for their careers and they miss that part of themselves. They chose to let that go which is why they call themselves crazy and why the English title is “Ex” it’s the former version of themselves.

i'm sorry but as i watched jisung hug that shirt filled with memories and then just put his head down with a defeated and sad expression, i just started sobbing. as the rest of the members started exhibiting their regret, their emptiness, and reminiscing the times where they were happy and content, and the moment chan dunked his head in the sink, i.. i couldn't stop crying. a song has never made such an impact in my emotions, in my life. the song itself was so, so beautiful and melancholic, i, as someone who's never cried for a song before, just couldn't help but weep and feel for them. wow.

No se como explicar lo que siento cuando escucho esta canción... pero la amo.

if stray kids weren't stray kids then they would be in a k-drama stray kids

Minho's acting is just- SOMEONE GET THIS MAN AN ACTING CAREER

stayville this is our moment to get this mv 30M lol

stray kids wanna tell us: when your’re break up don’t drink alcohols, drink the entire water

Am I the only one thinking that the water Minho is drinking is just a metaphor? Like he tries to get rid of how empty he feels inside by drinking (like really since they can't show alcohol? In general I think that this MV has such a deep message... Every one of them is dealing with loss, regret and anger towards themselves in their own way. Be it by drinking (Minho), hallucinating (Jisung), trying to commit s/c (Chan), eatingdisorders (IN), disyraction (Hyunjin, Seungmin), lethargy and depression (Felix) and expressing your pain through actions and not words (Changbin). But in the end it really only helps if you open up and talk to somebody. If you just burry everything inside you you'll eventually die on the inside (them being ghosts of themselves) Idk I'm rambling, don't touch me I'm soft TT

Bang Chan's acting makes me feel extremely heartbroken, everyone here has so much to express even through a camera

スキズのみんなの歌声って本当に綺麗…！

Man Jisung's scenes hurt me the most because it looked like he's the one who still couldn't accept that the person left him and still dwell in so much pain. The others at least just stay around in the living room or kitchen being sad but Jisung still looked like he believe that the person is still with him.

Popular opinion: Stray Kids is the best group in Rookie's generation and finally they are having the attention they deserve.

Me listening to this song : Also me listening to this song : crying over my non existent ex

한이 파트 너무 찡하다,, 이별했지만 그리워서 혹시나 집에 네 흔적 하나라도 있을까 다 뒤져보고 네 온기가 남은 셔츠 껴안고 좋아하다 결국 현실을 자각하고 굳어버리는게 너무 슬픔 물론 사귀는 도중에 딴 사람이 맘에 들어온 나쁜놈이긴 한데 이렇게 후회하는 거 보니까 마음이 아픔.. 이건 한이라서 그런 거겠지? 실화였으면 니 업보다 임마!! 이랬을거임

Minho said “gotta stay hydrated even when you broke up”

Chris and Minho are so good at acting. Really. Goosebumps

스키즈 수록곡이 왤게 다 좋아요…?ㅜㅜ 진짜 요즘 이거저거 영상 많이 보다가 완전 빠졌는데 타이틀은 물론이고 수록곡들고 명곡이 많아서 더 빠지게 됨…ㅜㅜㅜ

This Lee Know hits hard, I mean he's just drinking water but still manages to be breathtaking, like how.

“how many visuals do you want in the group?” JYP: YES

Chan- drowing himself Minho- binge drinking (i know you know lee know it’s “””water”””) Changbin- yeeted himself down the stairs(?) Hyunjin- obsessively building eraser towers as a distraction (tb to gone days mv: he rly likes erasers doesn’t he?) Jisung- delusional, still trying to live in the past and will it back into reality Felix- got in front of a train Seungmin- wasting away in front of the TV, watching but not actually seeing; everything could be burning around him, and he wouldn’t even notice Jeongin- emotional eating

Lee Know was so ethereal and gorgeous in the second half but why did they have him aggressively chugging water in the first half lmaooo 😭😭😭

Popular Fact: Everyone is dying because of Minho's visuals

"curse me all you want until your hatred turns into anger so you'll relieve your anger and we can be together again" binchan we need to talk, why does this hurt so much? edit: why did this got 300+ likes??? enkdndkej

Never thought that just by drinking water aggressively could be this attractive, Lee Knows visual is breathtaking

미쳤네진짜 스키즈노래울면서 들은거 처음ㅠㅠ 가사만알았쟈나 이거노래진짜아깝다너무좋쟈나 엉엉

Haters : Straykids Music is noisy, they cant ever make a soft song!!! Straykids : Hold our Nachimbong!!!

Friend: Why are you crying? Me: Minho is drinking water :(( Friend: And???? So what?? Me: He's so HOOTTT!!! *crying aggresively *Friend leave the chat

I don't know, why everybody are talking about their death.. I think they're not dead, or just dead inside.. these scenes are like the phases you go through when you break up... you feel yourself down, sad, empty.. you drink or eat a lot.. you will only be a shadow of yourself.. like a ghost. It's doesn't matter, you break up or the other party, when you lose something that was once a part of your life you loose a part of yourself. Then the time flies and you can be happy again - with your friends, your family.. You will find your path again. Somehow I got this message from this MV... the opportunity of the healing

te extraño Chris, vuelve a casa

Chan: I tried to scream, but my head was underwaterrrr

changbin raps like a god, but sings like an angel

Jisung is crazy, Chan is depressed, Changbin is a painter and Minho is free of kidney stones

why is nobody talking about how perfect seungmin and i.ns vocals are

Minho: *Drinks a lot of water* OK STAYs we're reminded to stay HYDRATED

Fun fact: minho is drinking stay's tears and chan is drowning in stay's tears

chan: he is so regretful? i'm not completely sure why he put his head in the water because he wasn't trying to drown himself.. minho: he isn't satisfied. no matter how much water he drinks, his thirst can't be quenched. hyunjin: he wants to get back together with his ex. he is trying so hard to rebuild the towers, just like how he is trying hard to repair his relationship. jisung: he is still attached to his ex, and can't let go. that's why he is hugging the clothing of his ex. changbin: his world is dark, there is no more color. seungmin: he can't really face reality, is stuck, dull, emotionless. felix: he is completely broken, hence the train being fine and then breaking in the middle. jeongin: i'm not sure what to call this but no matter how many sweets he has, there isn't any flavor, and it's kinda like minhos, he isn't satisfied.

새벽에 보는데 왜이렇게 웃음이나지..

Chan trying to drown himself. Minho drinking a lot of water (might represent alcohol?). Jisung dancing with the shirt. I’m crying... This MV is so beautiful but sad.

this just proves that stray kids can even slay in acting, they should do dramas specially minho, bruh how can these eight precious boys got so many talents i cant-

minho is literally the most attractive man alive.. his visuals are no joke

I am completely in love with this song, this song is so light and so comfortable, their voice is so comfortable to listen to. I love this song so much

Popular opinion: everyone wants to be a glass of water

Omg I just spent ten minutes trying to find this song by searching up "skz song where Minho drinks water aggressively"

Han is the only one without a ghost, and he’s the only one that’s happy. Until he finally realizes what’s really happening, then he proceeds to put the shirt on is face just like everyone else’s ghosts.

One of my fav skz melodic songs

stray kids are coming with everything this comeback, let’s hope people stop sleeping on them

Ex is soooo underrated. It's one of their best songs

No body: Stays: minho is staying hydrated Medical side of stays: minho is not staying hydrated , its refering to a psychogenic polydipsia which is a psychiatric condition , guys, MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS

Almost 3 years since this masterpiece, its such a good song

how to get skin like minho’s skin : drink water even during break up

stay everywhere: "how to stop crying" google search *

we miss you guys, we are not going anywhere. we are called STAY for a reason.

잃고나서 너밖에 없다는걸 깨닫는게 너무 늦어ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ나쁜 남자들이다ㅎㅎ

Back Door: *Dancing* Ex: *Crying* Back Door again: *Dancing while crying*

Minho was literally just drinking water man , how come i’m a melted butter rn ???
