Stray Kids: SKZ-TALKER Ep.86

What happened

Stray Kids' SKZ-TALKER Episode 86 follows the group backstage one day before their final 'THIS & THAT' broadcast. Filmed August 15, 2026 at Show! Music Core, the self-shot vlog shows members placing detailed custom sandwich orders, greeting a seven-year-old Bichon Frise backstage, and drawing lots to split into early and late groups for the next day's call time.

Why Koreans care

SKZ-TALKER is Stray Kids' own self-filmed diary series — fans call this content genre 자컨 (jakeon, self-made content) — where members film and caption their own footage instead of a production crew doing it. That is why jokes like wincing over ear jewelry or the puffy-face selfie read as the members' own inside voice rather than a narrator's, and it is part of how K-pop groups keep a sense of raw, unfiltered access for fans between polished comeback stages.

What the words mean

Felix gets called three different names within a few lines — Felix, Lix, and Yongbok — which can read like three separate people if you do not know 용복 (Yongbok) is his Korean birth name, used interchangeably with his stage name by the other members. Separately, the exchange about a "7 version," an "8 version," and a "9 version" is a number pun, not a real tracklist question: 칠 (chil, the Korean word for "seven") sounds like the English word "chill," which is why the existing remix is nicknamed the Chill Version, and the joke is that there is no matching pun for 8 or 9, so it fizzles out with "sorry, we don't have those."
