Stray Kids leader Bang Chan opens up following a recent misunderstanding that caused unexpected tension among fans. What began as a warm message during a Brazil concert turned emotional after it sparked division within the fandom.
During the show, Bang Chan called Brazil “another home.” The phrase was meant to show deep appreciation, but some fans misunderstood it as “second home.” That slight difference led to debates across social media, with some accusing him of favoritism.
In response, Bang Chan opens up on a private messaging platform, expressing how the situation affected him. He repeatedly clarified his original intent, saying, “I said this was like ‘another home’…” and asked fans not to fight.
His messages grew more emotional as he admitted feeling scared to speak. “Whatever comes out of my mouth just becomes problematic,” he wrote. “I don’t even want to say anything anymore.”
He also touched on the emotional challenge of showing equal love to fans worldwide. “Sharing love equally to all STAYs around the world is definitely something I want to accomplish,” he said, before apologizing. “Sorry for not being able to share love equally… I feel like I’m only making fights.”
Despite the misunderstanding, Bang Chan opens up with sincerity and hope. He assured fans that they were not to blame. “STAYs didn’t do anything wrong,” he said. “Channie will work really hard!!! I’ll do better!”
Fans have since responded with overwhelming support. Many are urging others to be kinder and avoid misinterpreting his words. However, the concern remains that this situation may cause Bang Chan to become more guarded in the future.
As the dust settles, fans continue to rally around him—reminding him that his words, love, and efforts are more than enough.
