Actually there are 8 members.  Seungmin, who is a main vocalist,  has an injured ankle so didn't do the group choreo, but he is in there in other scenes.  The two Australians won't have to go to the military, but the other 6 will have to in a year or 2.

“Do they have a lore?” Honey, do you have the time? Even people who really deep dive into their lore still don’t fully understand it. 😂 loved the reaction can’t wait to see more.

Felix is a level 3 blackbelt in Taekwondo and won 63 gold medals in the 12 years he competed.  For this scene, Felix fights a stunt double, then they switch colors and do it again.

This is deep in their culture, I don't know all the history (bc I'm an American), and it also follows their story. Look at the lyrics. Their telling their story and honoring their culture. They like to make you think. 😊 The yin and yang symbol is on their flag. That is the concept, but the cultural aspects lead back to an elite fighting force in SK that brought the Korean Peninsula together, instead of the 3 areas they used to be. They are also honoring the Hangul (in Korean vocabulary) on the floor of the video. When the 3 areas combined, the Hangul was introduced as the language of their nation.

The mic on the spatula LMAOOO that shit is frying me so bad. Yall are hilarious

"He touched me" "... not me"
🤣😭

there is a lot of symbols into this mv , not simple

Now think about the fact that this is a B side song prerelease for the upcoming album drop in August. Run It plays at least 10 times a day in my house and always when we go down to the beach for volleyball. So excited to discover the title track because SKZ always brings surprise and satisfaction to Stays!

It's a 10/10 for me as a STAY. This song is everything, truly emotional. Firstly the lyrics, they have been through so much to get to this point, been fighting this and that as in years and years of training, leaving their families at early age, and getting hates because of their noisy music. Specially the last rap verses of Han and Changbin. It began from a small room when it's their pre-debut era. STAYs' heartbeats are their motivation to keep going and not giving up.

The visual of yin and yang, back to Korean history (including tiger as Korean national animal) to show how much struggles they have been fighting. The color choice to show how they fight the darkness, as in their own self-doubt and anxiety (felix fighting himself). And the way they present it into an anthem song it's just perfect. It's their and STAYs' anthem.

That Han's pat on Changbin's chest/shoulder closer to the end of their rap really shows "we did it brother!".

Asking about the lore and saying "they're like orphans" made me laugh so hard. I loved this. 😭

They start going into the military in 2028.

Everyone says it should be a world cup song but it's not 😂 it's the anthem for their new tour

They will join the army after this tour, yes... Likely half year next year.

This an anthem for new world tour "Run It" and comeback in August with "This&That" album.

I like the energy😂 they still have to go to the military by next year for some. 2 of the members don't have to go because they aussie (Felix and Bangchan).
Straykids are called that because they named themselves and created they own logo as well as all they own music.😊 so they named themselves Straykids cause they feel like lost boys in an industry that doesn't do it like them.🎉 They are finding they way, looking for they home. Hence why they fandom is called STAY( If you take out the R in Stray, it is the REASON why they stay) so yeah....😊 have fun and there is so much more... looking forward to it🤟🏽

My favourite song in this year ❤❤

more please!

Don’t worry, stays are almost all nice and not toxic 😊

Thanks for your reaction.❤ The song, MV, costumes and place are all amazing. All members look great and vocals are amazing too. I want to see the making MV of this song and also studio parts. I am sure we will get them when the album is released.

I want to give some info about the MV.

The director of this video and “Divine” are the same. He said in his instagram that they are telling the history of Korea. They use a lot of symbolism (round Stones and the symbols on them) and myth (tiger - bear) about this.

In addition, SKZ said in this song they tell that they will never give up. Even they are down 40 times, they will rise up again 41 times. They will always go on.
Beside on the surface of the place where Changbin and Han rap, there are some Korean marks written spirewise. They are the pronunciation of the Korean letters.

Bangchan’s intro and then Seungmin are amazing.

Hyunjin – Felix, Felix – Lee Know, Changmin – Han back to back are amazing.

Felix is a taekwondo black belt. He did taekwondo for 12 years and has 63 medals. Because he has been struggling with a herniated disc for a long time, he couldn't perform taekwondo moves in the choreographies like he did during their debut days. I was very happy to see him in this music video. I hope he is recovering gradually.

Also, during this music video shoot, Seungmin had a problem called a stress fracture in his foot, which has been going on for 6 months and is still problematic. After the music video was released, Seungmin sadly stated on Bubble (a paid, X-like application used by SKZ members) that he could not participate in the group dances during the music video shoot, but did his best in the solo shoots. Of course, his health comes before everything for us, but I am sure he is sad both because he couldn't take part in the music video shoot as he wished and because he couldn't participate in the Governors Ball Festival. I hope we can see him fully recovered and running on stage in the new album.

Thanks for your love and support for SKZ. I am looking forward your SKZ reactions. ❤

Lol it will also be if you can get a hold of tickets too...they sell out quick!

They are touring Asia this year…also, they are doing a Latin America run in. September (StrayCity Music Festival) the info is on their YouTube channel. Not sure when Lee Know has to enlist in the army…soon…that may impact a US and Europe tour.

Army mandatory enlistment is coming up for 6 members…Bang Chan and Felix are exempt since they are Australian

Love you guys!
