I don't know if anyone ever brought it up or if you caught it later on. But in this album there is one last song that's not on Apple music. Its called mixtape #1

so I became a stay after woojin left so I honestly don't know much about him but there were several different rumors going around about why he left some say he left for personal reasons and to pursue his own music, others say he got kicked out bc of bulling or something but no one knows the real reason or circumstances leading up to his departure from the group.

You should check for the MVs for the others as well. District 9 was there debut song and has a great MV. Mirror has an incredible one as well.

Yea they were still experimenting and searching to form their sound, it’s normal to not be into it right away

The whole thing with woojin leaving is a mystery to stays. basically they went radio silence for a few days (didnt even post anything for leeknows birthday which was one of the days) so stays were were worried, and then out of nowhere came out with a statement that woojin is leaving stray kids and jyp due to 'personal reasons' and that stray kids' comeback is getting pushed back a little bit (they were like about to comeback with a new album so the timing was insane as well). Then stray kids legit rerecorded all the songs (which jyp has NEVER done before) and redid some music videos which is also something that is insane. Then they came back and on one of their comeback tour concerts literally all of them had a breakdown when giving speeches on stage and thats when everyone was like oh some serious shit must have gone down. stray kids (Chan has said this a lot specifically) have said that they are 8 and that they dont want to be associated as 9. Since woojin left, they have not said his name or mentioned him at all and if anyone mentions them as 9 they immediately correct them. So basically stays never got the reason of why he actually left but with him announcing that hes joining a new company on stray kids anniversary, a lot of stays removed themselves from being a fan of him as it seemed very odd to do. Best way to put it, woojin and stray kids are fully seperate and its best to not really speculate or associate them with one another as the whole situation seemed very serious and honestly weird with how jyp has never done that before.

Adding - often the color coded lyric vids have that music tacked on the end to avoid copyright…. Also there is/was one song that was CD only and not on Apple Music - Mixtape #1 it is on YouTube if you want to grab it sometime…
Personally I think this album was them announcing to the world that they are not a cookie cutter k-pop group & that they are still growing and evolving but don’t try to fit them in anyone else box - they will bust out and keep experimenting hence the title ‘I Am Not’. Which ties into the other 2 parts of the I Am series
Woojin left seemingly suddenly in Oct of 2019 - it delayed release of their album Levantor which was the 3 and final part of their CLE series - Most likely for re-recording. - and they re-recorded in 2020 & 2021 everything as OT8 versions.

Bang Chan found/formed this group in 2017 as the Boys Project going up against a girl group (company formed became ITZY I believe) to see who would debut in 2018 - Mix tape was comprised of the songs from their survival show (that you should watch/react to) to see which/ if all members would debut - the things these boys went through…. They officially debuted on March 25, 2018 as part of the start of the 4th gen groups… the MV and stages for the songs like you inferred from Helevator definitely elevate them & in some cases just add punctuation to greatness.

you should react to stray kids skz code. it's a reality show and games are
played, sports, cooking and so much more. skz make it hilarious and I think its an amazing way of learning more about the boys. I also recommend
watching all of skz's kingdom performances, especially gods dududududu.
the song is a remix of both gods menu and blackpinks duu-du-ddu-du.
also felix's parts in it are phenomenal alongside with their amazing stage
presence. loved the video, I hope to see more Stray Kids!
