Because of those memories, I feel even more affectionate toward it.” Seungmin picked “Secret Secret” and said, “Every time I listen to it, I really relate to the lyrics. It’s the first ballad track I’ve made and it was the first time I’d worked together with Seungmin and I.N for a song. We wanted to share our diverse music with many people.” Seungmin said, “The meaning is something like, ‘Life isn’t easy because of the naggers who tell us to do this and that, but we’re Stray Kids and we’re not backing down.’ If you listen to the album’s b-side tracks, you’ll be able to hear our larger musical spectrum and diverse expressions.”Īs for their favorite b-side tracks, Lee Know picked “Silent Cry” as “a song that’s comfortable to listen to.” Han picked “Gone Away” and said, “It’s a song that I have a lot of affection for. The album, “NOEASY,” is a spin on the word “NOISY.” Bang Chan said, “It means that we want to leave a loud impact on the world with our music.” Hyunjin added, “This album will show what kind of music and performances our team does. Overall, the choreography shows strength and energy as well as some unique dance lines and some fun moments.” We’re expressing Stray Kids’ unique sound and color in a way that we haven’t shown before.” Lee Know said, “The key point of our choreography is the hand gesture that expresses how we’ll confidently spit out everything we want to say. This is my personal thought, and I hope that people will feel it directly through watching our performances.”Ībout the concept of “Thunderous,” Felix said, “You could say our concept this time is ‘ dokkaebi‘ and ‘black and red. Hyunjin added, “Through ‘Thunderous,’ we wanted to share our own unique kind of music.” I.N said, “I think that ‘Thunderous’ is an extension of the ‘mala ’ genre. He grows up, works as waiter and ends up fighting men from his towns crime syndicate. Bang Chan explained, “The message of the song is that Stray Kids, as sorikkun, will face off against the jansorikkun and confidently let loose our sound.” A old beggar from the woods secretly teaches Chien Fu kung fu as he cant afford regular classes and his 'dad' doesnt want him fighting. The Korean title of “Thunderous” is “ sorikkun,” a term that refers generally to a singer, usually of traditional Korean music forms. We worked hard to have this album express the things that we’re always discussing and striving to improve.” Seungmin added, “We’re approaching our work with the sense of responsibility and confidence that the title of ‘Kingdom’ winner gives. The lyrics describe a couple, Chan Chan and Juanica. It is written in 1987, and was one of Buena Vista Social Clubs last songs. We were able to work more confidently on this album with that certainty as our basis.” &0183 &32 Chan Chan is a song that has great meaning for Cuban music history. We also became more certain of the music and performances that Stray Kids could do. ”Įarlier this year, Stray Kids took home the final win on Mnet’s competition show “Kingdom: Legendary War.” Changbin said, “After ‘Kingdom’ ended, we were able to feel even more strongly our pride in our team and the love that STAY has for us. Bang Chan said, “Since our last album promotions, for the repackaged version (“In Life”) of our first studio album, we’ve experienced a lot of things. Thanks to those experiences, I think that we’re able to show how much Stray Kids has grown to STAY. This is Stray Kids’ first comeback in eleven months. this is just my analogy.Ahead of the release of their second studio album, “NOEASY,” and the title track “Thunderous,” Stray Kids talked about their comeback in a Q&A session. because he will not reach his destination.Ĭan apply to any thing we are trying to achieve that may be hard, and we feel like giving up but we know that we "can't get there that way" So basically he is trying to achieve something, there are obstacles in his way, it is not easy because of possible factors or temptations. "i can not arrive there that way" He cannot reach his destination if he gives in. The trunk could be temptation to give up, there is something that is tempting him from achieving his objective. he wants to hurry up and arrive so he can do what he wants, he is tired of the "wait." the obstacles are preventing him arriving sooner than he may like to. i want to sit down on this trunk that i see, but i can not arrive there.Ĭould mean that he is in a haste to get to his destination, there are obstacles that are in his way (straws). (i may not be accurate but its worth a try)ġ)clear the road of straws. Which helps me to understand this in a way. Im not sure, but where I'm from in Africa we speak in proverbs.
