Keep doing you Ben. Too many sensitive people in the world...

Lea Langer

I have said it before and I will say it again. ‼️with stray kids it is so damn important to take a closer look at the lyrics ‼️

Shay Tee

Thank you 😊 💓

Nuala Seamus

Love your honesty and willingness to go back and correct mistakes. Don't let people get to you. 🤗

Shokojoh Jonh

also I'm the kind to not listen to the lyrics that much either at least not the first time. I tend to get the meanings way later so I get you

Shokojoh Jonh

thanks for the apologies and for doing another reaction. I did not match the first one because people were talking about mentions of SA. I don't mind the sexual commentary even tho sometimes it goes a bit far but yeah I appreciate that you decided to work on this. Everyone can evolve and become better

Jennifer

We all make mistakes, the best you can do is exactly what you did in this video and then do better in the future right? I love the kinky commentary, it's really entertaining and funny! I think this time with the context of the song it just bit you in the ass, especially since you don't speak Japanese and already tend to focus on the beats instead of the lyrics. Maybe something you could implement in the future is making the video a little longer and going through a lyric video to compare the context of the song to your initial interpretation of the music video? Could be fun!

leeknowsalex

this is so refreshing to see…someone owning up and apologizing for their mistakes LOVE YOU BEN

Thea Billa

TBH Ben , I pay for your patreon (you're the only one I'm subscribed to) because I love your comments and content and just the way you react to things gives me joy. but, thank you for being so open about accepting when others say you were in the wrong, that shows a LOT of strength of character, well done! but please don't stop with the kinky comments 😳, lol especially on Patreon, I'd miss it too much.

Emma Hanley

It's ok Ben, we know that side of you, which is funny if we don't take things too seriously. I know you react mostly without understanding the context of a lot of it, which is where your naughty inner thoughts come out (many stays are delulu and know it). Maybe some Stays that commented on your last video, would just like you to find out a bit more about things, so it is more correct? Although, it wouldn't be a first reaction then, would it? Sometimes it's a no win all round, but I get your humour, even when I know you are factually wrong Sometimes. It's just for fun right?! Let's chill and just enjoy. Keep it coming @BenKim

Katie Grossman

I appreciate you coming back to it and giving it a proper listen 😊 the lyrics relate a lot to their struggles especially Bang Chan because he moved to Korea at such a young age and trained for so long watching all of his friends either debut or be kicked out of the program. This song is essentially saying hey look despite everything I’ve had to go through I’ve finally made it. For the future I know that you speak Korean but maybe turning on captions would help you make sure you’re listening to the lyrics more? Just a suggestion so if you don’t want to or you don’t think it would help then no problem!

Ciara

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned it in the last video, but each of the individual scenes represents their own fears/worries: Isolation, being ignored, feeling under pressure, anxiety, etc. If you watch it again off-camera, you'll be able to pick up on it, and it feels more deep. It's sad they had to go through so much at such a young age, and it gives us a small insight into what it's like.

Alysha Safia

You should react to the Stray Kids documentary now. Istg it will make you view stray kids completely differently. I am a new stay but after watching the pre-debut show, it makes me feel like a proud mom to see how well they are doing now... They really did sacrifice a lot in their youth just so they all get to debut together. Other than that, you'll get to understand Stay's mixed feelings towards JYP <33

Tristana Keauna

I didn't watch the original video you made after reading through some of the comments, but really did appreciate this one. It was nice to see really absorbing the meaning. Maybe looking at lyrics before or after a video is something that could be done in the future? Just so you have some context. Also your singing voice is quite nice!

Wynn

Thank you for this! You weren't aware of the context, but I'm glad you apologised after looking at the comments because SA jokes on a song about mental health should be taken seriously. Of course, please continue to be unfiltered(with mindfulness) on your patreon, we love the energy! To people making fun of others for feeling uncomfortable, Ben's an adult and owned up to his mistake. Instead of babying him, I think we should give credit to him for using his channel to address that.

Nevindi Nakandala

You know what Ben you understanding the real meaning is the best thing it doesn’t matter even you messed up before

Cara Mac

Ben, yours is the only Patreon I’ve never regretted subscribing to. Your genuine enjoyment is infectious! Thanks for watching the lyrics video. It’s such a breath of fresh air to see a creator follow up on a concern in such a deliberate and conscientious manner. <3

Miranda Peters

Love you Ben! Both videos were good in my opinion! Never change!

Chanel Hayes

Love u Ben! Don't think we don't love ur personality cuz we sure do! Thanks for putting yourself out there. I know your job is harder than it looks

Sora H

We love a humble king. Thanks for listening & apologizing when needed~

Bel

Its a good person who can admit when they were wrong. BTW, Your singing voice is very nice.

Lan

I didn't think the MV reaction was too bad (we've all seen worse!), but I love that you listened to the feedback and did a lyric reaction second time round so you could understand what SKZ were actually saying. A lot of the time I'll watch an MV or listen to a song and feel one way, only to then check the lyrics and realise how different the meaning is - Silent Cry is a perfect example! Absolutely could twerk to, but also makes me cry every time. Anyway, great reactions all round and we love you: it's why we keep paying every month!

Eminima

ur so sweet thank uu for doing this. ur soo good tho. just do u. we luv u. oooh i wanna give u a hug now. someone hug ben! (づ ◠‿◠) づ ♡

Ron Jackson Jr

YE ITS KINDA GETTING OUTA HAND NOW THAT IM seeing a lot of comments writing an essay god damn

Ron Jackson Jr

i feel bad now that hes reacting it but not goofying around I NEED THAT GOOFYNESS OUTTA HIM AND THE JOKES BEN BE U MAN

pancake_yoongi

Thank you for apologizing Ben. I'm glad you realized your mistake and even made a new video and you were sincere. That's more than a lot of creators do when they fk up. But please don't take away unfiltered ben. That's one of the reasons I love your videos.

fot

I love you Ben for your dirty mind , never lose yourself..it's ok, all humans makes mistakes.. I like all your reactions to stray kids.. (ps I also have a dirty mind and every day I wait for your videos.)

Özge

Thank you Ben

Dina Baybez

Ben its okay. Everyone makes mistakes lol Please continue to be yourself <3

Alisha Cooper

Don't let this get you down Ben. We love your videos and I find myself smiling so much listening to your dirty jokes and reactions 🥰

Amanda Allen

Ben, please continue to be your unfiltered self! Your videos are something I look forward to literally every day. I love your honesty, your personality, YOUR TWERKING, and I enjoy the absolute hell out of you content as a whole! 🫶

ToniA

That shows great character, Ben. To just admit that something was wrong and apologize, and do it better next time. Your comments were not okay, but "cancel culture" goes way to far sometimes. So it's ok, let's move on together 🫶🏻

Stephie

No it’s ok Ben. You reacted based on what you watched. It’s ok!!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Bombdiggityyo

Everybody acts like they absorbed the gist of the video and song on the very first watch without rewinding. Cut it out. We’ve all seen it a hundred times and now you’re scolding people because they just don’t get it. Stays are so out of hand everywhere I’m waiting for Stray Kids to disown us and start over with Leaves

Alex Roland

If you aren’t absorbing the lyrics, the visuals of the MV can be misconstrued. The visuals more represent societal pressure and mental health issues. Those are sensitive topics, so I get why people were upset. I’m glad you revisited and re-evaluated. Thanks Ben! Looking forward to more reactions!

Elizabeth Shackelford

Don't you dare stop twerking or giving your honest gutter-brained opinions! 70 videos in people should know what to expect. You apologized and walked back and that's more than most content creators would do. Things got totally out of hand in the comments of the last video. Calm down, people.

TAMI

Sometimes people can understand differently because even if it's sad, encouraging song Stray kids songs are really upbeat. You can be hyped up by listening the beat, tempo it is understandable. There are many songs like this too. Yes it is very special song for skz especially Bangchan. Sometimes STAYs are really scary

heji

Music can be interpreted and enjoyed in any ways if we don't have a background information and that's what music is. It's totally understandable that you interpreted it in another way based on what you've seen! This song had a specific meaning and you realized the meaning later and appreciated it. That's all matters. I hope you don't blame yourself and thanks to you, l got to know and listen to this wonderful song. Enjoyed the song, and your reaction!

Pepper

Were some comments a lil over the top? yeah, but we're only human. If it helps, before a comeback happens, SKZ usually release a video talking about the album concept (at least, they did for 5 Star https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNPgj-ZJql8 and Rockstar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KadR_q5rSg) just for future reference they're really interesting to watch, even if you dont post a reaction. It preps you so you go into the song understanding what its supposed to be about (I dont think they did one for Social Path unfortunately)

Jun Wen Yap

You didn't know the lyrics at first. You are not in the wrong. You are free to interpret the video however you view it. As you said, "I am here to learn", one thing about Stray Kids' music is you have to pay attention to the lyrics. 3Racha (& the rest of Stray Kids) puts in a lot of effect on their lyrics (Whether is fun or serious kind). All their korean MVs are with English Subtitles. Only their Japanese MVs don't. But Stay has the lyrics videos uploaded. Also their Videos (the SKZ-Replay/Player/B-sides) does come with passage on what the song means in the video description. Also Stays do have pretty accurate interpretion of their lyrics in the comments (and some confirmed by Stray kids themselves), you just have to look for it. 😉 I do believe if you re-watch their videos with the lyrics, you will understand Stray Kids even more. Your comments are funny as hell! So don't worry about. Keep doing what you are doing and have fun!

Tamara G H

I personally get more emotional with the mv than the lyrics itself but the "gave up my youth for my future" always gets me and i want to cry

Audrey Bouchard

You are amazing Ben! Whe are human! But being able to apologize (even if you didn’t need to do it) like you did is remarkable! Stray Kids are handsome, we’re victims of their charms! 😉 keep going! You’re always fun to watch 😁🙏🏼

Liz S

We're all adults here. Please don't apologize for how you interpret art. Also, you're not alone. Social Path's MV has been used by many STAY for sexy edits, everything from what you've discussed, to outfits, fanfics, and beyond. Kim Novv's approach to directing his MV's is "you feel like you can touch it, but you can't have it." The color blue represents warmth in his art, and there's not a lot of blue in the Social Path MV. He also directed Red Lights, and there are many visual parallels. In the Special Interview, I.N stated that the music video is "opposite" of the music, Hyunjin described it as "dark" and a "thriller", LiSA referred to the part with Felix touching under his chin as "sexy", and STAY are still pointing out how in the choreo Felix "walks the other members like a dog" (literally the viral sound with it on Tik Tok). These things, and the hands of the anonymous people trying to put their hands on Lee Know, could very much be interpreted as kinky. Kinky doesn't always mean good though, it could be a violation/lack of boundaries. Don't even get me started on the people that just got in trouble to selling/buying Stray Kid's freshly-worn clothes from the SLBS event. Here's an article about the director of the MV, if you're interested. https://www.papermag.com/novv-kim-kpop#rebelltitem1

emi

thank you for apologizing and relistening to the lyrics. it's not really the fact that you made it sound more inappropriate than it was, but the SA jokes were not funny and you should not joke about that at all. we do know your humour so honestly it's not surprising that you made comments on it being kinky lol. but you should never joke about SA or molestation like that. it seems you understand that now though so thank you <3 most creators don't apologize easily so i'm glad you took the initiative to be better than others :) much love, can't wait for more reactions!

Giuli M

Also i am once again in the comments suggesting more 2 kids room, 2 kids show or skz code (personally i think you'd like dwaekki gym with big boi Changbin).

Patri_Playmobil

I just got out of work and saw the notiications of your Patreon. Honestly, I love that you took that quick of reaction and learn of it. This is showing that we all are people, we all make mistakes, and we can listen, and learn and apologize. The most impressive thing is, nowadays, socials are such a big part of us, and new generations may be don't understand completely the power that Internet has (as someone from '92, I kinda grew as the technology developed). The pressure can be insane, and even most for someone that made it his work so, again, thank you and ily, mate (BangChan stan here 👀 couldn't let it pass)

Monica

I love how humble you are. Everyone has their own perception of what the videos are until they really get to know the actually meaning behind it. <3

Nora Barraza

Thank you for coming back to do this so fast, I appreciate that a lot. To the people saying you didn't need to apologize, yes, he did. And I'm happy he did. Yes, we all signed up for the funny, over-the-top kinky jokes, but SA jokes should not enter that category; those are never funny.

Claudia Lozada

No worries Ben, it is very humble of you to apologize and re do thw vid!! We love u!

Giuli M

Ben we fokin loooove you. It's really nice to see you react to a lyric video because, honestly, even i never stopped to read the lyrics as i listened to the song, and the colour coding is wonderful. If you want, you could listen to the full version of 3racha, or Felix's 'Deep End'. They don't have MVs but it's a shame to lose out on the full 3racha experience and as someone who has talked about how much they love Felix's voice before, I feel like he might bias wreck you with 'Deep End.' It'll have Seungmin fighting for his life tbh.

TC

This is awesome! Thanks for hearing it, and taking another look at the song. ❤️

Stayjul

At one point as a trainee, all of the trainees were cut from the company except for Chan. So the line “so many people come and go. I look in the mirror, it’s only me” I think refers to how he felt at the time. Chan has previously talked about how dark of a time it was for him and has even said that if it weren’t for Stray Kids he might not be alive anymore.

RI0Tkitty

The hearts 😭

RI0Tkitty

I love your honesty, even the first time through when it was your genuine reaction without realizing what the song was about. And the fact that you took the time to listen again because of everyone’s comments. I think you’re about to get real deep into Stray Kids now that you plan to start checking out the lyrics more ❤️

AXXIDMOUSE

Appreciate the relisten :D 🩷🩷

Chels

We love you Ben!

Ana Sillig

People have different interpretations based only on mvs, its okay. Thank you for reacting to the lyrics too!

Tiffany Hall

It might be beneficial for all these MV reactions to watch a lyrics video first and the music video after so you can focus on the video without any distractions and it lets you get an idea what to long out for beforehand

Tiffany Hall

It happens man!! Thank you for posting this

Strawbinnii

Yes of course! I was talking about the people who were actually coming for him wanting to cancel him :)

🦔

Thank you Ben for always posting about skz it always makes me smile 🤍🤍

C

I dont think anyone is hating on Ben (I love his humor) we just wanted him to grasp the deeper meaning since this was one of Skz's deeper and more sensitive songs.

lillie450

thanks for listening to the feedback and revisiting the song. This was a good video!

Gail Palmer

I love your outrageous reactions, but really appreciate this rewatch of Social Path. Not many people are willing to listen and then reconsider prior opinions or actions these days. You are a gem, thank you.

Strawbinnii

Girl I didn’t say anything wrong, every1 knew what Ben was like before coming on his Patreon. He thought it was about something and it wasn’t? It’s good he’s apologized and relistened to it not many would do that. (yes he goes a bit far most times but he does that on all his videos why ppl starting to talk just now..? ) 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

😇Barbi😈

Thank you Ben ❤️

Rose Akyaa Opoku-Boateng

Well said. He did the right thing and we appreciate him for that. I think from he will pay attention to the lyrics more as well. Anyway we Love Ben,

aime

You're a good dude 🩷💚 thanks for relistening

eriberry

Bro stop saying he didn’t need to apologize that’s weird if you think that, yes the hell he did there’s no in between

eriberry

Thank you

Mya

stop spamming

Vee Veonix

We're not cancelling him or anything, you're defending too hard - there are no teams here. People were just calling out him not paying attention because the message was serious. He's human, he messed up, and it's okay to point it out to help him be the best he can be. He did the right thing by posting this.

Vee Veonix

I appreciate so much that you apologized, made no excuses, and re-reacted to it knowing what it means. Good job Ben <3

Mya

we corrected him and he's apologizing and listening again you should learn from him

Mya

i really appreciate you rewatching ben🩵not a lot of reactors would do that thank you so much
