This performance should NOT have gotten last place! I'm still mad about it😂And I hate that Hyunjin was on hiatus during this (I feel bad saying that because I feel like it takes away from our boys some but let's be real--they still won despite him being there) anyway it would have just added a whole other layer to their performances in my op.

Joy

Bro you're gonna make me freaking cry dude

Waldkind

Did y’all now that they did put hyunjins ring on the flowers from I‘ll be your man?

Alari Smooth

and the fact that they lost this round because the fucking thing was rigged.. WHEN I TELL YOU I WAS SO MAD BRO

Nikea

Thank you!! No one ever notices and it bothers me every time lol I’m always screaming at my screen “he’s the boy from the statue” lol

Sarah

Yes and he is alive because Bang Chan putted the heart in his hand. ❤️🔥

Tracy Al

Omg you’re right 😭

Waldkind

Maaaan the fact that nobody talks about the boy was the statue is killing me. Am I the only one who sees it? It’s the same when I watch the YouTube comments. The boy is the statue. Han hit so different. He looked mesmerizing and his voice his singing was from another world♥️

Eleniel

Watching this first experience of their offstage vs onstage duality was JUST as satisfying as I wanted it to be

Corinna Mena

I'm definitely late on this show but I just started watching it on the Viki Rakuten app

Amara Schmidt

The story behind it is even more interesting

Yoona Kim

One of the shirtless angels is single inferno hyunsueng from season 1. Chan is his friend quick tmi

123rachagetspotlight

strays kids kingdom performances are always the best 😭❤️ I will never get over the high notes in this

Nat

love how you nailed the Changbin Rapping Effect

Jennifer Birdshead

Will you react to BtoB version of Stray Kids backdoor

Pia Housted

I think you should see all of straykids and ateez proformance in kingdom they are crazy good both of them and mayfly too its ateez, straykids and btob together

Sharrence.

Imagine they, by they i mean Stray Kids and Ateez on full force, Kingdom will blow up then what's we've seen before. Cs during Kingdom, Hyunjin and Mingi both on hiatus🥹

Detroit_Dirtygyrl420

Oppa Felix....i need to be disciplined

Jade Rebirth

When IDOLS just can't believe what they hear and see! You know Stray Kids made it! Sad Hyunjin was on hiatus at that time :o Can't believe we nearly lost him for nothing! :(

Jade Rebirth

Can't believe you did not see that before! It is a MUST! Still get goosebumps when I listen and look at it! This performance was FIRE ! They give EVERYTHING this was AWESOME! Hyunjin and Felix are my personnal biases, but Han is literally going to wreck out of me one day!! It is starting to crack more and more with time 😅😂🤣😅😂🤣😅😂🤣

Shokojoh Jonh

te baby went beind te cameraman lmao

Emily Cortes

Don't just watch SKZ Kingdom performances... watch Kingdom in full so you can appreciate the whole of SKZ greatness 😌.

Yue

I really loved 3Racha performances as well! All three of them hit so different! Have fun discovering their live performance!

Bel

You should watch the whole show. Kingdom Legendary Wars is a competition between 6 groups, Stray kids, Ateez, BtoB, SF9, The Boyz, & iKon. It was an amazing show with crazy performances. They even had a sports day half way through to give the guys a break from the competition. I loved every minute of the show, from meetings, getting to know groups I didn't know, & performances.

Lauren

This is literally one of my favorite performances they’ve done till this day!

Megan Binger

Kingdom was a show where popular groups battle for the crown. BTOB and SKZ swapped songs I'll be your man and Backdoor, but they had to make it their own. So Skz lost the boy to death they were doing everything to get him back they broke into heaven, you see Binnie battling up the stairway to heaven. where they were rejected and captured, felix being dragged by angels. but they werent giving up if heaven wouldnt help they would make a deal with hell, devil and the demonic felix. so the deal was they sacraficed their own life (the heart) to bring the boy back from the dead. thats why they all drop dead but the boy is back at the end. Every performance during kingdom in beyond amazing each week they were given a challenge and they never disappointed! It was filmed LIVE. there are also behind the scenes you can watch. Mayfly was a super group during the show the groups were split into two teams they had a rap,dance,vocal challenge. Mayfly was SKZ, BTOB and ATEEZ those 3 performances are a must!

Megan Binger

hope in the comments someone explained.

Joie

Felix was giving Daddy vibes

Dina Baybez

Yes it was live. No it wasn't edited. It was during covid when there were no audiences. Please react to more Skz live performances. <3

춘니

You need to react to all of the Mayfly performances in Kingdom. They're all SOOOO good

Amanda Allen

Ben you totally should watch Kingdom Legendary War, the entire show is a masterpiece because the performances are just unreal great.

Esmarai

Oh man I'd pay some serious money for you to watch the entire Kingdom show.. or at least the Mayflay parts. Literal perfection

Yep, I'm Liberty

Just a little background on the storyline. You were right that they sacrificed themselves, but it wasn't in the literal "I'll be your man" way - it was more of a sacrifice for love, regardless of who it's for. Focusing on the little boy, you'll notice that at first he's in all black, so they're sacrificing themselves to save him from "hell". After placing the heart in the statue's hand and the boy comes back out, you'll notice that he is now in all white and the statue is gone. He has been saved. That's the (very) brief version of it, and yeah, like Nuala Seamus wrote, this was their lowest-ranking performance of the whole show. I think it's because it was just too intense for the "professional" Korean judges and they just couldn't tolerate the imagery, but it has gone down as one of their most iconic performances nonetheless. Oh, and yes, the "disappearance" was all one take. There's a behind the scenes video that shows how it was done. (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

Nuala Seamus

What is insane is that this got the lowest rating of the performances for this theme, which was 'Rebirth' because every group was reinterpreting another group's song. Of course SKZ took it literally and brought the child back to life through their sacrifice after battling heaven and hell. It was an iconic performance. LOVED your reaction.

Sasha Douglas

Please watch BTOB’s cover of stray kids “Back Door”. It is awesome.

lele

if you liked this one, you'll love the other kingdom performances skz did!! seriously their GOD'S DDU DU DDU DU performance ATE!

Litza

I agree they killed it in Kingdom!!-

Paola C.

This is my favorite performance of all time! At this point, you should watch their other kingdom performances, they ATE that show. Same for the other groups, it was a stressful show, but the performances and idols interactions saved it.

Han Seoyeon

HAN BEING THE ACE OF KPOP AS USUAL🩷

Eminima

This reaction was super fun! 🩷 yay! looove kingdom

Rashele Wright

Yes, definitely react to another performance. You should just watch kingdom.

BeeKnee

Please display the English subtitles.

Kristen Campbell

Love your reaction. Please make it a series and watch Kingdom Legendary War its free on Viki. I know you will like it and it shows a fun side of skz as well as other ground. Also watching it will help you understand the calabs and stuff.

Green Hayes

femalelp (Kara)

Even watching it for the first time I don't know how people don't see the theme there...BTW Ben I really like your reactions

JayMongMong

Ben, as a fellow Seungmin bias, I recommend you watch Eungkwang, Seungmin, Jongho's KINGDOM performance of Love Poem by IU. Hell, you should watch all of Kingdom, all the performances were on another level!

Zayne

You almost killed my mom with your pussy throb comment.

Kat

Lololololololololololololololol

Anna Anderson

xime

xime

C B

Kingdom as a whole is just a good watch.

Lisa Mrozinski

Dude... I think we just need to watch the whole thing (the Kingdom thing, it's on Viki...) I have heard about the "survival show" as well.... but the comments I've seen

Ciara

They really put everything into their performances, it's so funny comparing their silly fun selves in skz code content to hard working idols delivering amazing performances! They take their music seriously!

BerryGood Stuff

You have to watch the full show on viki tv ! Make it into a series of watching the episodes. I think you will like it ^^

chachi

Ben Ben Ben, watch also the kingdom mayfly performances. There are 3 performances. It’s group collabs. The groups are Ateez, Stray Kids and BTOB.

Kaitlyn

the red lights at the end 😭

Kaitlyn

I am loving these reactions

Carmen Marner

Please do duddudu kindgom performance next

Charity Vandehey

I want to send this comment directly to IN! ❤️

Madison P.

100% agree about IN's voice crack. I saw this for the first time and thought that was deliberate, and it was actually my favorite part of the song because of how emotional it sounded. When I learned it was a mistake, I was so shocked! Then learning about why Hyunjin wasn't there, and about their rings.... and how it was their silent protest, and way of letting STAYS know they would do whatever it took to bring him back... ugh!

Snezana Bozic

I'm excited for you to watch more performances or music videos!! I just love watching people fall in love with them!

Kellyann German

ALL the Kingdom Legendary War performances! So good!

Tenaja

💪🏾WHO CAN FLY😤

Kat

Mayfly mayfly mayfly !!!!

Iesha Patience

I love this one so much and have for so long! I'm glad you finally got to see it! 😁

NiX ✨

SeungSung belting like SeungSung does just... man, it does things to me.

Lindsey

Yes!! Agree with everyone else! Let’s watch the whole show together! So worth it.

GeorginaMarie95

going to back everyone else here kingdom legendary war is worth a watch

C

Same 😭 I was a baby stay so I was honestly just confused. Then I found out about all the mess and I just think it was sad that he couldnt be part of it. I was so happy that he returned even tho I wasnt a stay when it all went down lmao. At least we have OT8 Wolfgang.

Emma Donoghue

Please watch all their kingdom performances they are so good

StrayTraveler

I would highly recommend watching the actual show kingdom legendary wars! you really get to see all types of groups and crazy performances! If youre keeping to just performance videos - I would say Stray Kids god's dududu, any mayfly performance (a collaboration between groups), oorrr Ateez wonderland are all stand outs from the show!

Dada

This comment right here!!!

Millie b

eevrytime i see kingdom stuff i get so sad that hyunjin wasnt there

⛓️🥀RicanFreak69🥀 ⛓️

omg yes

Charity Vandehey

EXACTLY! People's voices break with emotion, and to me, that's what it felt like. When one of the idols at the end is like "I have goosebumps"....100%! Me too! and IN's moment was a big part of that. It felt raw and real. I hope someone at some point along the way has told IN some version of that.

SJ McQuillan

Youse know that gif from the Clue movies, 'Flames...Flames...on the side of my face' That was me reading up on this alleged 'mistake' IN made; cause when I saw other Stays talking about how they did him wrong regarding that, I kept thinking, wait..what mistake???? I didn't hear/see one. No one will ever convince me that what he did in that moment was anything short of serendipity thae way it added to thae closing of thae performance.

Charity Vandehey

I would pay real money for an official release of this as a track! I listen to high res music, so uncompressed, 16 or 24 bit, with high end headphones, and Stray Kids' songs in general really shine with that kind of fidelity. It's very upsetting to me that we don't have these Kingdom songs available. We even saw them do an actual recording in some of the behind the scenes footage, at least for the Du-du-du mashup, so we know recordings exist!

Lari

Ahh I'm so glad you did this recap, it was very emotional the hole thing and about Hyunjin's ring, it was amazing that they carried him with them in a very smart way, they didn't broke any rules. I always watch this performance, it's a crime that this version is not on Spotify hahaha

Lari

I knew you would love it, their performance hits different.. And the Kingdom performances are in another level.. When Seungmin, Han and Changbin starts the last part, always give me goosebumps... Now let's wait for more reactions <3 Thanks Ben!! You'll love StrayKids and Ateez together!

Ashley Lawson

I always get goosebumps with this video. Ben you NEED to watch the full kingdom, all espisods and see how felix whips all other groups 😭 the one we're felix jumps on woo young and everyone's applauding him and chan in his dad voice is like "felix! " 😂👌

valerie kral

Kingdom is a great show!!

Elvorfidia

you should really check out seungmin doing love poem its amazing

Charity Vandehey

I know, right? I get mad all over again every time I think about it, or see one of the clips of him crying. The show saw a weakness and deliberately exploited it, and sometimes I wonder if the judges were so harsh because they knew that the drop in standing combined with the footage about IN meant high drama and good ratings...which just infuriates me even more. IN didn't deserve any of that, and like all of the boys, he's hard on himself, so the extra criticism was really unnecessary and over the top. I watched Kingdom as a brand new baby Stay myself, and it's definitely one of the reasons I love them all so much. It's also why I started listening to Ateez (that Wonderland stage remains one of the most iconic performances in all of k-pop.) It just burns me that one of the reasons is because the show gave a disproportionate amount of monetary support to certain stages over others. Again, IMO to create drama. Luckily, the groups themselves on this were so wholesome and amazing it eclipses the shenanigans of the producers and judges. I need more k-pop groups performing together and reacting to one another's stages like this in my life.

C

Perfect recap, I hope he watches it. Seeing their hard work, their recording scenes, and just the way they interact with each other is one of the many reasons why I'm a stay now. They have so much range and really I think it's such an amazing surprise to new stays when they see what our boys are capable of. Side effects x God's Menu is what made me listen to Side effects (one of my top skz songs) and dive into their older discography. The judging for this performance was actual trash, I still consider it one of their top performances. You kind of filled me with rage by reminding me of what happened with I.N but it's all good now. It's all good.

Charity Vandehey

This is one of my all time favorite performances by them, ever, and it kills me we don't have a version of this song from them released somewhere. Okay, I see no one else has commented with with context for this specific performance, so I will add it here. First, Kingdom was a kind of competition show between groups. But really, it was so good and so wholesome as the groups watched each other perform and commented. I recommend ALWAYS watching the versions of these songs on YT that have the cuts to the green rooms with the groups watching, because the reactions from them are 100% worth it. (There are two versions of every stage from this show on YT...one WITH those reactions, and one without.) But, as others have said....Ben this entire show is SO GOOD. It's literally one of the best, most wholesome things that's ever been done in k-pop, minus the stupid voting and judging that honestly didn't even need to be part of it. I highly, highly recommend you watch the whole show (it's on Viki) and react to it. It's important to note that right after Kingdom began, false school bullying accusations came out against Hyunjin, and JYP pulled him from being able to perform while they investigated. This was very hard on the whole group. No one knew what would happen, and none of the guys were even allowed to mention Hyunjin's name in interviews and BTS footage for this show. So Hyunjin is missing from nearly all of these performances. This song is a BTOB song. This week, groups had to perform a song from another competitor, and Stray Kids chose BTOB. (The BTOB performance of SKz Back Door is also iconic, IMO, and the Kids reaction to their seniors performing their song is so sweet!) The original is a love song, but Stray Kids changed the meaning to be about sacrificing everything to bring back a missing boy...who is Hyunjin. The entire song, the boy in it represents Hyunjin and that they would do anything to bring him back. One thing they did was go and make rings for every group member, including Hyunjin, and all of the members wore them during this performance. Hyunjin's is draped on the statue of the boy in the beginning. You can see it as well as Han's ring when he approachs it. This song and performance was deeply meaningful for our boys, and it shows. Also, I will never, NEVER tire of the other idols' reactions to Han singing in this. Or to Changbin's rap at the end, which covers what TWO rappers did in the original. Also of note. This song was higher than their usual range, which is why Han was assigned so much singing. They needed him for those high notes. He actually rested his voice for a whole day before this performance to prepare for it. And I.N. was assigned a high part at the end that our maknae really stressed and worried about. Right before the performance, Han, who could see and knew how worried IN was, told him not to stress, that he could just (I can't quite remember, but I think he said he could just go into falsetto if he didn't think he could hit it. I'm not a singer, but it was something like that. Hannie was trying to help IN relax and make it not a big deal.) Anyway, IN, did not hit that note in the performance. His voice cracked. IMO this only added to the emotional depth of the performance. Certainly, if I hadn't watched and known about it because of the show, I would never have realized listening that it wasn't intentional. But IN was devastated. The show's producers pulled him aside IMMEDIATELY after the performance before the members could even talk to him to ask him about it, and he cried. He really felt he ruined the entire stage. There's a clip of Chan comforting him off camera that is so sweet, but IN still carried it. Later that night back at the dorms, everyone was in watching TV and IN was in the kitchen, and he just broke down. Everyone came rushing in "What's wrong, what wrong?" This performance was (IMO) unfairly judged by the judges, and dropped our boys from first place down to last (I think -- it was a huge drop). IN thought it was his fault and sobbing, kept telling them "It's my fault, I ruined it." He is super embarrassed about his reaction now, but at the time he was just devastated, and I will never forgive those producers and judges for how they treated our boy. IN is one of the group members who just does not cry easily, and to see him take that into himself and be so upset really hurt. It might have crushed another singer and made them quit, and that makes me so angry. But luckily, IN is surrounded by seven amazing friends who supported him and comforted him.

takoyaki

yes yes go up

reno~

God’s dududu please please

Britt Bratt

Red Lights at the end 😇

Maria Luiza Sperotto

if you wanna do more kingdom videos, god's dududu it's a MUST, was my favorite skz performance for a long time

Pati

Right or just anything I personally love him singing Eyes Nose Lips when they all were like at that karaoke

Patricia Belepe

Ben should check out strayteez moments

C

Someone should recommend his masked singer performance

C

I feel like I just had an epiphany. I've watched this a million times. Tell me why I never realized Han cut himself on Changbin's dagger omg. They were doing blood sacrifice/demonic things. I'm so dumb. They sacrificed themselves to bring the boy back to life. Omg. What did I think this was about lmao? How did I not get that sooner??? Ben you have to watch Kingdom! It's a rollercoaster but it showed Skz's range and they will surprise you even more.

Camie Rabon

This is about address the man versus the boy inside each of them. The original by BTOB and is a man singing to a woman...I suspect it is related to going into the military but that might only be my version.

Alexi Gray

We're here for it. That fkn outro was RUDE xD

Tee

Oh please watch the full show. It's awesome and I'd totally be down to watch it again to see you react to it

⛓️🥀RicanFreak69🥀 ⛓️

Ben...It would be amazing to have you react to Kingdom..Its an actual competition among 6 kpop groups(Stray Kids, Ateez, BTOB, The Boyz, iKon & SF9) for the crown or the throne...i swear u would be so mesmorize i how our boys create and work..even ateez...its ok to watch the performances but i think you will enjoy it better if u watch from the beginning and how the come up with the concept...plz plz plz react to Kingdom Legendary War..I have a link you can watch all the episodes...Also the song" ill be your man was a cover they did of BTOB..BTOB & SKZ swapped songs

ADDButterfly

Their Side Effects/God's Menu performance is my favorite and this is my second favorite.

Em

Just commenting for another vote to check out the behind the scenes for these performances because a lot went into them - both in terms of coming up with ideas and the prep itself /pos

Chloe Maloney

you have to react to skz and ateez collab on kingdom, its the best performance on kingdom in my opinion.

ssick ⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

if you react to their kingdom performances and not kingdom itself, can you also react to their behind the scene videos for each performance, please? they're on their official YouTube channel

Krissy Horn Bresk

It's also on FreeVee! I just got done re-watching it! ❤️

Krissy Horn Bresk

You can watch this whole season of Kingdom: Legendary War 2021 on FreeVee. It's so good! 6 groups compete to win. It was SKZ, SF9, The Boyz, BTOB, Ateez, and ikon. It's 10 or 11 episodes. All of the groups do performances and there's a part where the groups separate into 2 big groups with 3 teams on each side. They do collab performances... rap unit, dance unit and vocal unit. The vocal unit of SKZ, BTOB and Ateez is highly regarded as the BEST performance EVER on Kingdom. They perform IU's Love Poem. You REALLY have to watch the series... preferably with us here on Patreon!

Evelyn

The funny thing is when you said "who are they veacsye there always funny and goofy" there first concept when they started kpop was pretty dark. They had a dark theme going on. Like the song hellavator

SJ McQuillan

I second this

Dr3vvn45ty

They use the single-pov camera to have the kid sneak on/off stage behind the cameraman. If you see the wider angle recordings of the whole stage, you can see more

fot

This song expressed the love for all the members and that they would do anything to be together. I believe that was their message to Hyunjin , we love you, don't cry, we are waiting for you, we will always be family.

Paulina Pena

I need him to react to Mayfly!!! Those performances are insane!

caedi

This is my favourite performance Stray Kids has done. I've watched it so many times, and can never look away. Thanks for reacting to it! Please watch all of Kingdom: Legendary War with us on Patreon! The performances are fantastic, and hit so much harder when you see everything they had to do behind the scenes to prepare! Not to mention the joy of watching them interact with other groups and become friends 😊💚 It's on Viki!

Diamond 💎

God stray kidz they never disappoint us 🔥🔥🔥

Sabrina Jolly

You should just watch Kingdom all episodes totally worth it

Paulina Pena

Ahhhh I have been waiting for this!!!

Katherine Bailey

You should watch kingdom! It has a lot of good moments in it!

Zoe Johnston

I was watching Love Poem earlier. It was amazing.

miso

OK NOW KINGDOM GODS DUDUDU PERFORMANCE…a mash up of SKZ gods menu song and black pinks dududu

Pati

Ben needs to hear Changbin singing

Ruxi

In Kingdom there are 3 performances were Stray Kids, Ateez and BTOB collaborate which I strongly recommend! Their collaboration team is called Mayfly and I especially recommend you watching their Dance stage performance. I's like a cool crossover! Thank you for your reaction!

Stephie

I was literally just rewatching it on Youtube!!! 👏🏻👏🏻

Kerri

This song always straight gives me chills

skinsharpenedteeth

All stray kids performances on kingdom were awesome! Ateez's as well

Nezaeya

This performance always gives me chills!

Loki Made It

Every song kingdom mv was amazing! The dead pool inspired video was what got Ryan Reynolds and bangchan to be come mates. The only thing is hyunjin was missing as he was on hiatus when this series was filmed

Deidre (Deed-rah)

Kingdom is really good. Each episode is extremely long and the voting system is ridiculous, but the performances and the lead-up to them (where they show how they come up with the song and story behind the performances) are really good. I only knew Stray Kids when I watched it but I'm an Atiny now and listen to The Boyz, Ikon, SF9, and BTOB because of this show.

지현

Since you asked all of kingdom performance were filmed live for the reality show

Jesi Larie

I want to like this comment but agree with you by angry ranting lol makes me angry still today.

Jesi Larie

One of their BEST performances! Excited to see more Kingdom reactions! I'm certain you will enjoy them.

Kumu Leato S. Savini

Your bias SEUNGMIN will blow you away in his performance with Jong Ho and Eukwang… they covered IU’s LOVE POEM… please watch and react…

Alli

Love this! They actually won Kingdom out of all of those groups. Since your bias is Seungmin, you should watch his performance for the singing unit. He was grouped with a member for BTOB and ATEEZ. Stray Kids are also singing live in these performances.

Kumu Leato S. Savini

The IU Love Poem was my all time fave of this show…

Wynn

The song choice at the end took me out

Kai

EEEEEEEEEE im so happy u watched this

Yukina

Did not expect a kingdom performance AND IM HERE FOR IT

Anita

I also loved the mixed performances - especially the Vocal team (the IU cover), and the one where Felix had to jump on Wooyoung (blanking on both song names 😅) 🔥

_nora_

I would recommend watching the Mayfly(Btob, Skz,Ateez) collab stages. They were really good!!

_nora_

Kingdom: Legendary War is the name of the program. It was produced by Mnet and it basically is a performance competition/battle between several boygroups. It's totally worth watching and we got a lot of groups interacting through this!

Jeffrine13

Oh, you have to go watch the series, between Stray Kids and Ateez you will die!!!!

Kumu Leato S. Savini

Kingdom Legendary War was a competition between 6 Groups… SKZ, iKon, BTOB, SF9, The Boyz, ATEEZ… this round they had to switch with a group and do the song in their way… yes this was LIVE… BTOB did SKZ Back Door…
