#don't blame them for having murderous looks on their faces after they faced racist bs at the very beginning

So. My thoughts on this.

Were those reporters/photographers extremely unprofessional and rude to Stray Kids? Yes, yes they were.

Moving on. Everyone keeps pointing out how Christopher Bangchan (Leader of skz) and Lee Felix Yongbok(the blond), being Australian-Korean themselves, and quite fluent in English, understood every. single. word. those men said.

(And not just as a Stay, but as a K-pop fan, I'm so, so proud of them that they managed to keep their cool.)

Next point. Even Leeknow, the member with the worst English, has been studying and improving his vocabulary since their fandom popularity increased. Even if the rest of the non-aussies did not understand what was explicitly said there, I believe based on the context, tone and the few words they could hear, they definitely wouldn't feel encouraged to "look alive, do it with feeling, and the cherry on the top; "start performing."

Finally, when it started getting incredibly racist, Chan, being the Professional Leader he is, Leads the rest of the members away from this absolute farce.

The outfits were "tailor-made" yet didn't fit the theme of the eve Nor the members, the members themselves were treated with so much of disrespect when they were being nothing but professional and polite, and despite all of this Stray Kids are on the receiving end of so much of hate for things which are out of their control.

Even though International K-pop fans, in this case, I-Stays like me are excited to see our favourite groups conquer more "western" platforms, it seems that "western" platforms are not yet ready to host "Korean jungkooks" yet.
