Tear Jerker / Stray Kids

Go To

  • Bang Chan was a trainee since 2011. He saw his friends debut as GOT7, TWICE and DAY6, while he was still stuck at being a trainee. Until 2018 when he was able to debut with Stray Kids. It was only until the second half of the year when they finally won Rookie Of The Year, and he was finally able to know what it feels like to stand on the stage proudly like his old friends.
  • Changbin's family holds typical ideals of success in the form of studying and eventually taking a desk job. He initially did study hard, until he decided that his interest lies in hip-hop music and he finally managed to convince his family to let him try out for JYPE. Now his parents are so proud of him, calling his son a genius since he's able to be a part of JYPE, one of the "Big 3" labels in Korea and even say that they should have let him enter the music career earlier.
  • Felix's case is similar. He managed to convince his unsupportive family that he wants to try out for auditions because he loves performing so much. While his family still had their doubts after he debuted with Stray Kids, they were eventually convinced of his mettle and passion for music and now full-heartedly support him.
  • "Mixtape#4", a re-arranged version of 3RACHA's "Broken Compass", sees Chan changing the lyrics to his part in a manner that forms a counterpoint to the original that is a happy tear-jerker due to turning out to be a dream come true.
    "Broken Compass": "Six years and I know now, call me captain and I do it for my crew now, started since 2011, my precious team, my compass."
    "Mixtape#4": "It's been a year and it's true now, call me captain and I do it for my crew now, 2018 is the start, my precious team, my compass."
  • "19," with its swirling, lo-fi production and vulnerable lyrics, can bring on the waterworks due to the brutal honesty with which the confusions and insecurities of growing up are dealt with.
  • "Hold On", a track released on SKZ PLAYER, written by the king of tear-jerking lyrics, Han, and passionately sung by Seungmin sounds pretty emotional from the get-go. And then you learn that the lyrics are about losing a beloved pet and the waterworks just explode.
    "Hold On": "I still remember how you looked at me and smiled/ Until the moment you closed your eyes/ Your eyes were telling me it’s okay, everything’s okay/ You consoled me until the last moment."
