Stray Kids "FNF" Video
... I just realized that they made this video in Melbourne.
The song itself is inspired by how much Bang Chan & Felix miss Australia.
I just did a double-take when I got to the scene where Hyunjin is sitting at a picnic table next to the water, because it looks so much like a place I've been hundreds of times.
Then rewound a bit and realised that I.N is skateboarding with the MCG light towers in the background.
Chicken :cqlgusu:
Now I need to rewatch & list all the Melbournecore things.
- Changbin sitting on steps behind Fed Square (?), with the Herald-Sun building behind him
- metro trains running along the elevated tracks beside the Yarra River
- trams along Flinders St
- Trying to figure out what bridge I.N is skateboarding across. Not sure but MCG is visible from it
- Lee Know cycling along the bike/pedestrian path in Altona where I used to take my dogs several times a week, what the fuck
Chicken :cqlgusu:
(Of course they took Seungmin there because it's an off-leash area for dogs, & I think it's also the same area where they filmed fellow dog-lover Hyunjin painting.)
- Lee Know with paste-ups in the CBD, walking along laneways near Parliament station & sitting in a cafe
- aaaah i think Felix is in Altona too, at the park that's about 500 metres from the house I used to live in
Chicken :cqlgusu:
- I think Felix is in Yarra Park, in the area between the MCG & Wellington Parade
- trying to figure out exactly where Seungmin & Hyunjin are. I'm sure it's in the western suburbs, probably Doug Grant reserve, but I don't remember that little jetty heading out towards the spit. And there aren't many other areas that have the nice landscaping with the spit like that. Could be a new jetty?? Hmm
I'm certain @eyebrowofdoom will know exactly where it is. I'll have to show her.
Chicken :cqlgusu:
- Han is running along one of the footbridges in Birrarung Marr. I think it's the one near the Federation Bells.
- they're all in St Kilda near Luna Park at one point
- which makes me question my certainty that the earlier beach & bike scenes are in the western suburbs
- could be St Kilda or Brighton instead?
Chicken :cqlgusu:
Okay I'm gonna make myself a project to visit a bunch of these locations & recreate key shots 😁
Chicken :cqlgusu:
Ahaha @mary actually knows how to search for things on the internet and found this:
:douyin: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSFkynkRH/
Also @eyebrowofdoom said that the beachside locations looked like Werribee, and I scoffed, because Werribee is shit, but apparently I was WRONG and it was actually Werribee, what the fuck, who decides that Werribee is the place to take skz to show them the charms of Melbourne, I am confused
Chicken :cqlgusu:
@mary @eyebrowofdoom also also: the place we had brunch yesterday, & the place they were playing skz last week where I exchanged silliness with a fellow stay, is right next to the jungle juice bar that the tiktoker went to at the end of the video.
Where they took a photo of Bang Chan's signature, because he had visited there on a trip to Melbourne.
The Jungle Juice place is directly to my right in the selfie I took in this post.
Chicken :cqlgusu:
also also also: I don't know why that tiktoker didn't include Changbin's location in their tour, maybe they didn't realize how close it was to the others??
Also also also also: I don't have a car & don't have an easy way to get out to werribee to track down those exact locations, so I might end up renting a car for half a day, or try to recruit a car-having friend into going on this ridiculous excursion with me.

@lookitmychicken @eyebrowofdoom Have you gone back for a visit yet?
Chicken :cqlgusu:
@mary no I've been feeling a bit crap the last couple of days & have been at home. I may go if I'm feeling better tomorrow 🤞
mary
@lookitmychicken Noa's really sick too.
Chicken :cqlgusu:
