Here to support the channie stans. 😂❤

Felix: Represents suicide, you can see him lying on the train tracks and at "how are you" it hits him, ending his life, he knew that the train would pass over him, he was there on purpose, he tried to end everything Chan: He represents the self-hatred, we can see him looking at himself in the mirror with a look of hatred and disappointment, he tries to hurt himself. That feeling of not being able to look at yourself because you feel disgust and pain of how you are, how you look and what you do. Seungmin: He represents that constant feeling of laziness at not being able to do a simple action, just as we see him tired and lost while watching television, or how sometimes we feel really bad that simple things like getting up become difficult. Jisung: Represents missing the old you, the one that was happy. We see him holding his shirt and smiling happily because he remembers how he was before and misses his old personality, his old self. That is why he stops when he realizes that that person doesn´t exist anymore. Changbin: He represents the feeling of being consumed in fear of what may happen, we see him with that constant fear in his eyes and as he looks around, he is also cornered in a corner, his fears imprison him and don´t let him be himself. Hyunjin: He represents that feeling and desperation of trying to put everything in its place, but it only gets worse as you try. You can see how he tries to accommodate the blocks but they only end falling, even if he does it again, everything goes wrong. Minho: 1 ° He could represent the feeling of being pressured by society to do something good, that's why he tries to water the flowers to please others, but he´s desperate because he can't live up to expectations, that's why he drinks the water. 2 ° Watering the flowers could mean trying to take care of someone else because you are too bad at taking care of yourself, he tries to help to feel better and be able to escape. The flowers are Lavenders, which symbolize peace and relaxation. Minho represents the feeling of nervousness about not being well and not being able to do anything with himself. His "happiness" comes from the happiness of others. Jeongin: He represtns the feeling of loneliness, we see him with party things, he wants to celebrate something but he is alone and has no one around him, it can also mean how sometimes we want to celebrate our achievements or experiences but we don´t have anyone by our side and we are alone, we keep those feelings to ourselves and act as if we were nothing, that is why he is seen eating the cake (celebrating) with an empty expression and without joy. End: The important thing here is the end. We see that the boys altought everything, managed to get ahead and overcome all those difficulties, they fought against their own ghosts and found their own happiness. (Please remember that this is only a theory)

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."

M/V: sad comments: funny Stray kids: talented Stays: clowns hotel: trivago (EDIT) minho: staying hydrated i.n: getting diabetes (EDIT pt.2 Suggested by @minhosfilter) Stray: kids (EDIT pt.3: DAMN mom I'm famous) (EDIT pt.4: suggested by @goth boᎥ clᎥque) Seungmin: in the building MUHAHAHHHAHHAHHAHA

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

Stray Kids: being pretty, soft and sad. Leeknow: **drinks water aggressively**

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

Anyone in February 2025 listening to and appreciating this masterpiece?

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

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

no one: NOT EVEN A SINGLE SOUL: MINHO DURING BREAK UP: **drinks water intensely, waters plants**

look at me here after Chan's messages, now the lyrics make sense

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

No one: Felix's freckles: *exicts My dad: why is she crying?

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

왜 다들 아련해보이게 잘생긴게 노래랑 잘어울림

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

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

No One: Literally No One: Minho:*Drinks a whole gallon of water*

Who's here after Chan's messages on bubble?

Popular opinion : Everyone want to cry watching this MV

Everyone has a ghost except Han so he’s the only one living and dealing with the loss of his members We see him alone in a bedroom jumping around and trying to cheer himself up Maybe the clothes on the floor represent the memories of his friends ? And when he puts the shirt on his head he’s trying to become a ghost too ? But he realizes that won’t bring them back so that’s when he stops pretending to be happy

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?

No one: Literary no one: Stay's: Talking about minho's visual while drinking water

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

Chan's acting here is also no joke, especially the part when he dipped his head in the water.

スキズのみんなの歌声って本当に綺麗…！

Minho reminding everyone to drink eight glasses of water daily.

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

Mom: why are you crying??? Me watching Minho drinking water: you don't understand........

2025년에 듣는사람..ㅋㅋ

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

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

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

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 😭😭😭

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

Director: *saw Minho drinks water aggressively* Also Director: P E R F E C T

The saddest one (at least for me) would probably be *Jisung.* His scene hurt so much. He's smiling, laughing, and jumping, basically trying to being happy over 'nothing'. Notice that the door in his room is closed? He's not even showing it to anyone, but he's like trying to show himself that he's okay. But then all of sudden reality hit him, his fake smile disappear and he became sad then just sit there in the bed. This, plus knowing what happened to him last year, hurt so much ㅠㅠ

Changbins vocals are so underrated 🙃he sounds soooo good 🫶🏼

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

Bang Chan: PERFECTION Lee Know: PERFECTION Changbin: PERFECTION Hyunjin: PERFECTION Han: PERFECTION Felix: PERFECTION Seungmin: PERFECTION I.N: PERFECTION.

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

I’ve only been a Stay for a month. And it’s been a major blessing in my life.. I struggle with a lot of body image issues and it’s hard after having kids and obviously getting older that my body looks much different than it did in my 20s.. and on the days I struggle the most I listen to this song.. i usually have to hide in the bathroom and have a good cry while listening to it a few times.. but listening to this song helps me hold my head a bit higher And push through. Thank you SKZ for loving us so much. I know I’m just another face in the crowd but I’m grateful to have you in my life

*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

popular opinion : *stray kids songs is getting better and getting everytime they comeback.*

Minho is teaching us to all stay hydrated. Drink heaps of water.

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

nobody: literally nobody: stays: bang chan perfection lee know perfection han perfection hyunjin perfection seungmin perfection changbin perfection felix perfection in perfection

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

Nobody: Me reading all the theories: *aggressive sobbing*

One of my fav skz melodic songs

Popular opinion: Everyone wants to see stray kids in real life.

Don't lie after you watch this video: You have a crush on chan, you have a crush on Lee know, you have a crush on changbin, you have a crush on hyunjin, you have a crush on han, you have a crush on felix, you have a crush on seungmin, you have a crush on jeongin.

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!

This has got to be my favorite love song from skz

Someone asked Chan: Have you ever fallen in love? Bang Chan: I can't even fall asleep!!! Also Bang Chan: Produced Ex....

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

Im fall in love whit this song

I love how everyone is talking about Minho even though he just drinking water.

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

They all can act. It’s like the best I’ve seen. I have no idea why they say that they can’t when they can. Stray Kids dominate the world. Oh and btw Lee Know taught us to stay hydrated so stay hydrated.

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

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!

No one: Literally no one: The comment section: How STAYs are dying when Minho was drinking

Lee Know’s beauty is really amazing, Stunning- his vocals are absolutely honey, velvet goodness!

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.

me when depressed : breaks things down. Minho when depressed : drinks water.

I love how minho is drinking water like is drinking a alcoholic drink jsjsjsj familyfriendly jyp familyfriendly

Why does Lee Know look so attractive even when he drinks water?

WHY NOBODY TALKS ABOUT CHANGBIN'S VOICE, IS ARTT

god's menu: cooking aggressively back door: knocking aggressively all in: stealing aggressively ex: drinking water aggressively side effects: meori apueda aggressively my pace: running aggressively

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.

The way I cry every time I listen to this masterpiece.

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

Drink water, not alcohol. Minho is the best boy.

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
