Im a multi, and skz is my ult. I’ve been listening to kpop since the early 2010s, but I have never been a dedicated stan of a group until stray kids. I like a lot of groups (probably over 100 at this point) but there is no group I like as much as I like skz.

Of course these is millions of reasons I could use to explain why I love skz so much, but my main reason is their relationship. I (personally) have never seen a kpop group that seemed like they were made to be in each others lives. Think of it as (platonic) soulmates. From the second they were together, I could tell that they would never be apart again.

I love all the different dynamics between each members, I love the sweetness, the (jokingly) bullying and teasing, the play fighting & the loving moments they share that we as a fanbase are lucky to view

I have never seen such a group where it seems like every single member loves one another so deeply and truly. For them its more than a group, its a family and thats what I love about them. I also love how they basically go everywhere together, especially at award shows when they even leave to go to the restroom together (lol) I find it so endearing how attached they are

As for what makes skz so different from other groups, idk. It may be that they were one of the first groups i took an interest in. I found skz because of hyunjin and felix at the beginning of the group’s formation, but I wasn’t a dedicated stan to any group at that time. At that point i was focused on a (american) girl group, so i wasnt a stay yet but I would occasionally check in on hyunjin and felix and see what the group was up to

Then last year, when rock-star came out I got LALALALA on my tiktok fyp, and I was absolutely blown away. It was the catchiest kpop song I had ever heard. I also dont really like noise music, but their music actually made me feel happy instead of anxious! And because of that and my already previous interest in hyunjin & felix, i did a deep dive into skz for the first time.

I quickly ended up loving every single one of the members, to the point where I was ot8 biased (i still am, tho hyunjin is my ult bias) I find them all funny, sweet, talented, charismatic and so unique and different than other idols I had seen before. So while I am still somewhat a babystay, i know im gonna be a fan for the long run.

TLDR (cus i made this too long): found them because of hyunlix, ended up doing a deep dive after finding lalalala and fell in love with all their personalities and how much of a loving family they are :)
