Felix's inability to contain his laughter was the highlight of an already hilarious clip. I love the chaos kids.
Hi snickers were like the ones on the SKZ ASMR videos. Totes adorbs!
Ikr😭😭
frrrrrrr
everytime when they laugh, IM ABOUT TO DIE OF LAUGHING 😂
Ikr Felix is so adorable when he can’t go,d in his laughter 😂😂😂 my bias
I love how Felix is more talkative, he is becoming the spokesman! And Changbin's english?? I love them all so much. My 8 loud noisy boys.
he's always been talkative in English interviews though lol
Talking in your native language is always the most comfortable🤗he’s so cute
felix was also holding the mic so we heard a lot of his little giggles/sayings
@@rhens8088 not really he would speak, but not as much as this
I've noticed that, too!
Han: “I think my secret talent is my visual.”
Chan, visibly confused: “What?”
Changbin: “Nobody knows.”
I literally replay this part every day 😂
the “what” of BC was iconic
Best part omg 😂😂😂
Han is not wrong tho.
@@thatguybutitsactuallyagirl5384 he’s really not wrong at all 😍
He's got a secret that nobody knows
“I thought Lino doesn’t like balls”
“No no Lino doesn’t like balls”
“No he likes playing- 5 MNUTES LEFT WOW”
That got me dying
Omg I rewatched to see reactions so many times
My mind going straight to the gutters... MinSung has corrupted me beyond repair 😭😭😏🤣
Felix's face when he started saying "No he likes playing" had me DYING. XD
When is this part in the video?
Felix:*looks behind himself at Han*
- Seungmin once again seizing the "no honorifics in English" opportunity
- Felix absolutely _dying_ about his in-progress drawing
- Rapper-rockstar Seungmin in the building
- "I thought Lee Know didn't like balls..." and then Lee Know's face just 😏
- Changbin speaking English, especially with his increasing push to join the Aussie line, will always be unspeakably adorable
- That might be the least insulting portrait Lee Know's ever drawn, so obviously it would be of Felix, since everyone else except _maybe_ I.N is fair game
- Hyunjin, capable of drawing a photorealistic portrait, instead draws I.N as a generic cartoon child for mysterious reasons
lol wonderful summary of this video, super accurate 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 although to be fair to hyunjin, the photorealistic drawings probably take much longer than 10 mins but also drawing jeongin as a child was an interesting choice lmaoo
Can't forget Han sounding incredibly british when saying "Forty years Seungmin" 😂
HANS ACCENT NEED A PLACE HERE
And also I laughed sm when Chan said "I thought lee know didn’t like balls" it was so unnecessary funny
@@jixsungiee same 😂 I’m watching this in bed and I snorted so hard when he said that, like… boy that don’t sound right
So Han Jisung is not only good in producing, rap, singing and dancing he also good at drawing too
he actually is but he barely showes it. you should look up his i am who portrait photocard! its really good
@@xeniamilou omg ikr. I'm glad to see someone acknowledging it
@@xeniamilou true!
he's even drawn changbin before, in the distict 9 promotions, his "talent" was drawing cartoons!
He can also imitate doraemon's voice😂
Stray Kids: We can't multitaks
Also Stray Kids: *can sing and dance perfectly at the same time*
Why is nobody talking about Felix and Hyunjin saying "he's a rock star" at the same time to Seugmin?!
God that was so adorable!
I thought I was the only one in love with that part!!!
and babyseungmin is so hype n eggcited at the back after they said dat XD
My favorite couple
what time stamp?
@@lcy3562 2:09
Omg I'm so happy they are getting more interviews I love watching them it is so entertaining to watch. We also get more memories with them, many being funny
Same
i love them !!
I am sooo happy
Yess I love them soo much!!!
Exactly my thoughts
0:01 Changbin's "Chan you made a mess" is another legendary clip that will be added to our STRAY KIDS MOMENTS LIVING INSIDE MY HEAD videos😌
I’m so sensitive because I’m so hungry.
I thought Lee Know didn't like balls has a lot of potential too hahahahahhaa
@@Tillymixx95 YOU’RE OULWAYS HUNGRY! 😡
@@jana5686 I’m Hungry!!!
@@Tillymixx95 AISHSHSH 😤🤣
9:01 minho being jisung's guardian. must've noticed han's unconscious continuous scratching. this is making me sad and soft. their bond is just too precious.
That moment warmed my heart omg
Why sad? Sorry im new
@@LudmilaRamirez7 han suffers from anxiety and throughout the interview he would scratch his legs because of it
@@inairasequeira6561 oh my😞💖
They are so in-tune with each other’s little ticks and help each other out it’s heartwarming to see them taking care of each other
i love han's drawing SO much! he doesn't shows his drawings often, and most of the times we see them is on interviews, but he always impresses me. i really want to see all the members in his style
Han can actually draw decently. The drawing he did for one of their albums honestly amazed me.
2:14 it was so adorable when everyone teased i.n when he said ‘huh’ cutely. Hyungs still babying the maknae🥺❤️
That "huh" is so cute.. I've watched that part several times.. still can't get over with that..🥰🥰🥰
I thought he said 나 as in “me?”
He said huh.. his hyungs also say that after him..
@@irmal9944 yeah i think he did
I watched over 100 times, adorable 😭😭😭
So happy they're finally getting more English interviews! This entire video was so fun to watch. SKZ's laughter throughout, the playful comments, and the drawings were everything.
Glad you enjoyed it🖤
@@HarpersBazaar You did an excellent job with those questions too, they were so nice ;)
@@HarpersBazaar Thank you for having them! 🖤
@@HarpersBazaar well-chosen questions! thanks for being so respectful
Whoever gave Felix the mic needs a raise. You can hear him giggle the entire time. 😂
ikr 💀💀💀
How Lee know started to calming Han down 🥺 thank you Lee know ❤️ 9:04
That's the cutest thing
@@drinkbloodlikewine yeah it is!
han was scratching his leg- yall are milking it
@@geebirb6648 he was probably nervous. i myself have anxiety and sometimes when i feel uncomfortable i tend to scratch myself. my friends always tell me to stop like i never notice i’m doing it. so maybe he was just nervous cause as most stays know han has anxiety. i’m not saying it’s true but this is what i personally think
@@geebirb6648 han has actually anxiety and he was scratching his leg the whole video. Sometime people with anxiety don't notice when they do something as scratching their legs until they start bleeding. Han was obviously not okey and lee know noticed it. He tried to calm him by putting his hand on han's leg
why does I.N's drawing of hyunjin actually look like him though? lol and he was so cute and proud holding it up! 😊 and Chan's drawing of seungmin too! 😂 ❤
Innie hugged it afterward he is so cute arggh
Hyunjin and IN 😌
Chan and Seunmin 😌
Hyunin! 🤗 The minute he held it up, I could tell it was Hyunjin. And of course I knew Hyunjin would be drawing Jeongin too. Who else would it be ? 🥰
True it was so cute
I'm really loving Changbin's english. He's improving a lot.
at this point 6 out of 8 speak at least basic english, I'm seriously impressed, because most of k-pop groups have 1 or 2 english speakers and that's it. I guess having two native english speakers in a group really helped the others with their own english
@@GTH-gt8xq yeah, they’re really great 🥰 I hope that the others will also gain more confidence in speaking it as well
Yes friend better a good
5:31 Changbin saying he tried his best 🥺 he’s so cute !!
Agreed
WRDDD BROOO
3:09 I.N. looking like a real stray kid 🤣🤣🤣🤣 He looks so lost
I feel so proud on stanning this 8 dorks from the beginning, Now look at how far they've reached, We STAYS will always love and support you guys!!
Same gurl✨
“These 8 dorks”-🤓🤓🤓
8 dorks?
Sadly, I regret not stanning them sooner. But thank you for loving, appreciating, and supporting them since the begining!
Oh yes! We love these 8 dorks.❤️
When they talk in English we can see that’s it’s Felix who is talking the most instead of when it’s in Korean we can also see that he’s more comfortable haha
The way it's so obvious how big of an influence chan's and felix' english is to the rest of them. it's awesome
Also seugmin and kinda Han ❤
2:50 Lee Know's little smile looking at Chan made my day
ikr so cute
The comment Chan made
Lol
And the way he just blinks multiple times, it's so cute!
Jisung's actually looks really good, and Chris also drew Seungmin so you can tell it's him without thinking, they're actually really good at this, and this was so funny and cute, I love them so much
It’s interesting to see eight adults get along so well. Living together AND working together is a lot of facetime. What I enjoy most (besides their music) is their interactions with each other and seeing them happy. It’s important to me that they are happy, so I hope the company is taking good care of them.
They really benefitted from Chan choosing the team
Exactly, one of the big reasons I love Stray Kidz is that they have some of the best group chemistry in K-pop.
0:58 Felix' laugh was just soo adorable!!!
Was it? What was so funny about what Han said that made him so hysterical?
@@thatguybutitsactuallyagirl5384He was laughing at his drawing I think
@@LuvVenus but his drawing was objectively even better than Hyunjin's who is the artist there and let's not talk about Felix's?!
@@thatguybutitsactuallyagirl5384 Not hating on his drawing but I think that’s what he was laughing at, either that or Changbin’s picture bc they were laughing together
1:56 IN HAN and Lee Know being the chatty kids in the back of the classroom
1:08 Han being the student caught sleeping in class shooting up his head the teacher asks him a question
2:13 IN saying "na?" In tiny and then Han mimics him
3:37 Leeknow.exe has stopped working
IN said 나?(na?).
I love that jeongin doesn’t need to be pushed to speak, he really do speak for himself despite communication barrier.
Also Lee, they all seems so comfortable.
IS SOMEONE GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW CHANGBIN SAID "Chan, you made a mess!!"??!??!? LIKE THAT WAS PERFECT😭😭😭✋
ikr 😍
It was seungmin
@@zainabsaid8740 nono, it was changbin
@@chloe-roll it sounds like seungmin and if you go back changmins mouth isn’t open
@@zainabsaid8740 it was Changbin for sure, watch again the first part
As an Aussie I love hearing our accent in Kpop. It gives me that reflection of myself. I have a strong accent like Felix, plus blonde/ blue eyes and when I'm in Korea I stand out like a sore thumb. People overlook Australia but we have produced some of the biggest idols from Stray Kids to Blackpink. We always get tours. It's because our numbers are small, we have a much smaller population but we are massive Kpop fans, there is a massive Asian and Indonesian population here too especially in Melbourne ( where I live ) and Sydney. You should not forget Australia!!
I am American, but I've lived in Melbourne for a year and it was absolutely wonderful. I actually lived in the city with my family. I would trade anything to go back there. I've experienced so many amazing things that I don't have the opportunity to do in the Midwest. I also noticed that there was a large Asian population which we don't really have here. Asian media seemed a bit more "normal" there too (like there were a lot of anime conventions and I made a couple friends who liked anime). I can't really say anything about Kpop though since I wasn't a fan back then. Nowadays I get so nostalgic thinking about it and I wish I could go back.
@@encryptedcodename8109 Melbourne 4 life lol best city in the world (in my opinion) with my second home Seoul a close second. Yeah we are big on scifi/ anime conventions... and coffee, something we have in common with Sk is coffee culture and cafes..Where abouts in Melb did you live? I've never made it to the states but I'm hoping to in the next few years. I'm actually moving full time to Seoul this year for work etc and it's easier to travel from there..
ikr im so used to american celebrities so when i started stanning skz it was so cool to not only be immersed in the korean language but hear my own accent too😆😆
Australians are amzing ppl, I've met some of the sweetest aussies :P
P.s I thought Rosé from bp is from new Zealand
Is there really a big kpop fan base there?? I'm probably moving to Melbourne next year and I don't know what to expect 😭
8:25 the way felix said “yeah” like the tone of his voice and his little head tilt gave me majorrr chan vibes, like chan says it that way almost exactly
They way I.N said stay in his tiny voice with the cutest smile when they were asking what was the most memorable part of 2021😭so cute my Innie you're precious
They’re all really great drawings. But Changbin’s was really funny 😅 Hyunjin is pro obviously. But Seungmin drawing Chan’s shoulder 😂
And his BEARD!
The shoulders were so hilarious
Felix is holding the mic so we can just hear him giggling the whole time and that just made me smile through the whole experience 😂
04:22 lee know dying of silent laughter is killlllling me lmao
Okay but Jisung’s drawing looks like a character straight out of a comic or a cartoon I definitely agree with Felix
Can we talk about how freaking MASSIVE Changbin is!? His shoulders and arms are huge!! He’s so strong💪💪
Man is working too hard on his body lately XD
yes his appearance seems intimidating but hes such a softy, especially when he speaks english loll
I'm so in love with Jisung's whole personality
like same
I just love how focused Hyunjin was. Look at him he's so much into his artwork
No but Jisung draws pretty decent, this was good, and i remember in the Christmas notes he drew Santa Claus so well i was really impressed
Chan : Any secret talents that you have other than being an artist ?
Han :My secret talent is a visual
Changbin : Oh it’s really secret secret
Han : I told you it’s secret
Changbin : Nobody knows 🙄
😂😂😂😂😂 I’m wheezing at Binsung byee . Why are they always like this lol ?
Binnie is so witty i love him 😭
Hahahahah Im crying from laughing at this part. 🤣
Hahaha! Changbin is so brutal! 😆 Could be his way of getting back at Han for that walrus joke? 😆😆😆
@@PB_1990 literally 😂😂 I love the way he did it so innocently too
Seriously, what can Han Jisung not do? His drawing was so cute. Changbin is getting so much more comfortable speaking in English. I'm just so proud of these boys for challenging themselves in every way possible. Lee Know, our sweet purple boy, needs some rest. Baby is doing everything he can to stay awake. SKZ fighting!!
I love how focused Hyunjin was on his drawing
This is 9 minutes of Felix laughing and the boys roasting each other 😂👏👏👌 GOLD.
5:30 changbin saying “i tried my best” hits my heart
I want to hug him so bad (I wouldn’t have done better than him tho 😂)
8:42 seungmin's smile tho, He's so adorable :>
I love Felix’s snickering so much, his joy is so pure .
they’re finally getting more English interviews and we love to see!! they’re so funny omg I love them
“ My secret talent is my visual “
“ What???? “
It’s not even half of the video yet I’m already laughing so hard. God I love them so much
His face while saying what tho 😂
"what has brought you joy this year?"
jeongin in tiny: stay🥺
the way he didn't hesitate at all and immediately mentioned our name :(
4:14 Leeknow laughing here was the cutest thing ever 😭
Question- Who is your dream collaboration
Hyunjin: He's a real vocalist and his name is baby Seungmin.
MEANWHILE SEUNGMIN- I am not a vocalist
Han- He is a rapper
**Seungmin Agrees*
It's official ya'll! Seungmin Main Rapper let's goooooooooooooooooo
Nope he's a rockstar
✨ Go little rockstar ✨
He did manage to rap faster than Changbin and Han on that one show, which was utterly hilarious
Waiting for him to be in smtm 🤣 changbin went to masked singer, so we can expect everything from these boys
I'm expecting seungmin rapping on skz 2023 comeback
Jinnie is Seungmin's #1 fan.
I love how interviews in English felix always takes the lead and he looks so comfortable and is so caring to the other members and helping them
I love how they're trying to speak in English without any hesitation and i must say they've all improved a lot, especially changbin he rarely talks during this type of interviews so hearing him talk and express his thoughts in English made me so happy
All i want now is to see more of leeknow and I.N speaking English
8:30 I love how Felix looks at it like ‘what the actual hell is that’
Omg please let Hyunjin and Seungmin have a song together 🙏🏼 that is my dream collab 😭❤️
Actually they have one lol
@@lilyanna-1234 oh I realize I completely forgot about their 2 kids song 😰😅
I can picture that: Hyunjin singing and Seungmin rapping 🛐
This is the reason why they're so big globally.. They're spontaneous.. Not rehearsed at all.. Genuine response, always..
Yeeeeaaaah, I love 'em T.T
totally 😉
The truth is that Felix felt comfortable and happy because he couldn't contain his laughter, plus these 8 guys made the video fun. THEY ARE SO CHAOTIC
Stunned at how good I.N's picture of Hyunjin was! He really captured his beauty well!
Leeknow: “I enjoy communicating with STAY every day”
Q: What has brought you joy this year in 2021?
Jeongin: “Because of STAY, we won 1st place at the music show”
Felix: “I feel that making the content for our fans and receiving the feedback brought us a lot of joy”
Stray Kids love us so much ❤️
and we love them more ❤️
@@zahiirahh Of course. We are one family ❤️
@@prodbyhan happily, forever and always
Stays are spoiled 😳
6:22
Lee Know looks adorable proudly smiling at Han when he was trying to give a logical explanation for Lee Know's drawing
IN's secret talent is obviously drawing. He was finished in 20 seconds and it looks exactly like Hyunjin! Wow!
Guys, I.N is really bias wrecking me. He’s so freaking adorable, the way he said “Stay” was just so cute. He’s just sitting there for most of the video looking off into space and being all adorable. Let’s just not talk about the fact that he’s technically 3 years older then me, he’s still a baby
I wanna thank whoever gave the mic to Felix , hearing his deep vois so close is such a healing experience
5:06 Seungmin's mischievous laugh is so precious uwu and Chan's "what're you dOING?!"
I LOVE when Felix takes control during interviews 🥰
No but IN and Bruno’s vocals would go so well together
I.N has a taste bruno mars is the best singer for me❤
3:51 i thought a cow was mooing turns out it was felix’s “hmmmm” 😭
SCREAMING 💀💀💀
HELP
7:04 felixs saying damn then immediately looking at the staffs lmaoo
0:26 Seungmin's "of each other" sounded so extremely Australian hahaha
i love how in english interviews, felix really shines! you can see him being a lot more comfortable, even translating some things from korean to english and vice versa here and there for his members and the viewers. he looked really in his element and talked a lot, which i love :) and i found it so cute how throughout the entire drawing period of the video, felix was trying to contain his laughter as he drew
Omg I.N. and Han shocked me with how good their art was. Cute cartoony style.
whoever gave Felix the mic made a really good decision :D. His cute giggles all the time make me smile so much
No, they didn't. Do you not see how he's treating Han?
@@thatguybutitsactuallyagirl5384 ?
@@thatguybutitsactuallyagirl5384 I'm sorry? Please explain
@@thatguybutitsactuallyagirl5384 Wdym he didn’t treat Han any differently
@@thatguybutitsactuallyagirl5384 still no response after 6 months?
Omgg I.N melted my heart with his little "STAY" and his drawing of Hyunjin is amazing. He did a great job.
Im crying 😭 han was scratching his leg bc of his social anxiety but look at what minho did in 9:02. Best friendship ever. Minho really knows how to take care of his dong saengs.
I love how Felix is so talkative here🥺 He usually stays quiet but here he literally shines and comes forward. Also his laugh is just a pure serotonin boost alongside with other kids’ laughs. I love how Changbin speaks English more confidently. Also everyone did a really good joh talking in English. I love these 8 dorks❤️ Btw big thanks to Harper’s BAZAAR for the great questions✨
I'm so proud of them!! They're really taking over the world 😭😭😭
Right
Seriously!! 💗

2:10 DID THEY SPOIL ROCKSTAR HERE?😭😭
Lixie was amazing hosting this, even while dying of laughter, at least HE can multitask
5:22 Seungmin silently laughing his ass off MADE MY DAY A BRIGHTER ONE 🤍
Felix is shining 🙌
Binnie's potrait of han is so cute 😁
Also Han potrayed Binnie really well in his animated Sketch
No way they spoiled their new comeback in this video and nobody noticed! WHAT!! we really are stay clownz😢
I'm so proud of Changbin, his english has improved so much!!
2:55 LEE KNOW'S SMILE. I'M DYING
8:41 chan's drawing of seungmin is extremely cute! it looks exactly like him lol
Chan’s good at art too! He’s the one who designed the SKZ logo, like he drew it by hand. His artistic skills are underrated imo
1:57 5:43 han's laugh is healing
Felix giggling and laughing all the time is so healing too sdfghjk especially 1:07 and 1:40
lk's face at 3:13 lmao sassy as we love him
i love them so much
I think Stays often forget that Jisung used to be the group's best in drawing before Hyunjin got really passionate about it lol
Woah😯😯....I didn’t know that:") :")
Chan's drawing is so cute it's like an actual sticker character of seungmin
Felix giggling right into the mic is my favourite sound in the world 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Changbins little "I tried my best" broke my heart though! 🥺😭
You all did so well! Especially considering how much none of you can multi-task 🥺😂
I'm laughing at your last line 😂 our chaos kids can never multitasking without causing chaos
*multitask
the look and lil smile lee know gives chan at 2:52 warms my heart
The fact that Felix's giggle was picked up so loudly and clearly is adorable.
Minho smirked at 2:54 😭😭
Lix: "Well, he likes playing-"
Minho's face: *I know you know Lee Know* 😏
@@tragiquexcomedy 💀💀 YES-
I'm addicted to Han's laughter. That laugh that you'll know he's really really enjoying the moment. I'ma make a compilation of it huhu 5:42
Did u make the compilation?
Please ~ 🥺
I immediately knew Chan asked Changbin the first question because he wouldn't be able to answer since he always finds it very funny how he can only focus on one thing :')
it's so cute how they can't be mean to their maknae 🥺 when i.n was saying he didn't think he did a good job they reassured him that he did really good
Ofc skz rule maknae is the boss so yeah they love him more and the priority
I hope these talented and funny guys will have better recognition and popularity in 2022. Great K-pop group, I feel like they are very genuine in their warm relationships.
Chan and Han never miss an opportunity to point out Changbin's inability to multitask 😂💀
00:52 05:29 07:58 cute Changbin
01:29 Nobody knows 🤣
(01:36 "hey, it's not a secret" 🥺)
05:23 8:43 actually Chan's quite GOOD at drawing, it looks like simple comics character
01:57 05:05 05:33 05:55 06:20 07:40 the most beautiful smiles
Bang Chan. As I’ve frequently noted, I have been a K-Pop fan for almost a decade but I have never seen somebody like you in the musical field before. What you have been and are capable of, is absolutely untouchable and I’ve learned that there is nothing that can take the sincerity and passion out of your character. I will say, despite being a long-time fan of K-Pop, I didn’t become a Stay until the just a few years ago. I don’t know how I went so long without knowing or supporting Stray Kids sooner, but I am completely and utterly thrilled to be a Stay now. To this day I wouldn’t know about Stray Kids if it weren’t for the Stay. I heard so much conversation among the fans of Stray Kids about how fearless of a leader you were, and I became curious. Over the course of those few years, I have spent my free time, which I lately have a lot of, getting to know you and your members. It started with liking a few songs, but then Stay, who talk with so much praise about you and your members, convinced me to see what was lying beneath the meaning of your music. I began to watch Stray Kids content whenever and of whatever I could, and I gradually fell more in love with your performance and personality overall. I have come to know how passionate and dedicated you are and have always been to music and performing. Even before Stray Kids was officially formed and debuted, you had music in your heart and I can see that clearly every time that you go on stage with your members. Not only do you have a naturally beautiful voice evident of vocal capability and strength, but your dancing skills are rigid and flawless beyond words. Your presence on stage is nothing less than inspirational and you ground and center your members in a way that I’ve never seen before. You always bring everyone together and emit unity on and off the stage. Outside of your musical performances, however, I have gotten the pleasure of getting to know you and your personality. I don’t even really know where to start by how touched I am at the positive impact you have already made on this world despite still having so much more left to say. Before I became a Stay, I didn’t know much about what Stray Kids had gone through to get where they are now; and I didn’t know just how much you went through either. However, the loving Stay introduced me to how hard you worked individually to keep your members’ heads above water through the rigorous days of training, performing, and other events that swarmed you. I was, and still am absolutely mesmerized at what you have accomplished to make this group possible, and successful beyond its comprehension. Thanks to the Stay, I know that before Stray Kids even debuted, you formed an unbreakable and unique bond with each of the members as well as one together as a whole. You lift your members up with the emotional and motivational weight of all the words that you’ve ever said to them. To know that there would be no Stray Kids without you makes me love you in a manner that is simply indescribable. I know that I, your members, and the Stay have so much respect and admiration for you because of everything that you’ve done and overcome in just the beginning of your musical journey. I have gotten the honor of seeing at least some of the group’s history and how it came to be, and seeing how you were a huge part of that makes me appreciate having you in my life more than I did before. You have single-handedly helped carry this group to victory and done so much to ensure that you stay together. You have always kept your promise that you, in words that I once heard you say, “Don’t leave anybody behind.” On top of leading your group to all of its success and glory, your are also humble and kind and always put them first. You sacrifice so much for your music, your members, and Stay and we recognize how hard you work day in and day out. You are so funny, clever, and know not to take life too seriously. At the same time you are professional, intelligent, respectful, and wise beyond your years. You are every bit qualified to be the leader that you are and I hope you never doubt your capability of doing that because Stay have seen you build something beautiful with your own two hands from the ground up. You never gave up even when the world encouraged you to and from that I find so much inspiration that I don’t even know how how to thank you. All I do know is that your family and parents are the most proud of you and love you more than any of us do. I can’t even imagine how strong they think you are for what you’ve created. I don’t want to put any more pressure or a burden on you, but so much would crash and burn without you and I hope that our love and support is enough to lift you up through your darkest times. You deserve so many blessings and praise. I just hope that you know your efforts are being recognized every second and that Stay, your members, and your family love you beyond words. I can’t thank you enough for everything that you’ve already done. You make Stay and your members feel so valued and desired and I know that only you can do that. I can’t wait to see what you do next because I know that I couldn’t leave you or stop supporting you if I tried. On behalf of your friends, Stay, members, and most importantly family, I pray that this birthday is filled with all of those blessings that you deserve and that it’s everything that you desire. I pray that you and your loved ones remain in good good health and good faith, because the world is relying on it in order to fully heal and love each other. Happy birthday Bang Chan, and from the bottom of my heart, we absolutely adore you!! You make Stray Kids all around the world stay!!!
