I’m not a fan or even a casual listener of Stray Kids, but content related to them keeps showing up on my feed. I’ve come across mentions of Bang Chan apologizing for really minor things—like asking about the weather, being mistaken about a dish, or saying that Brazil felt like a second home to him. These fanwars mostly seem to happen within fandom spaces. Honestly, if you’re not a Stay or not chronically online, you probably wouldn’t even know that Stray Kids fans argue over these things—until Bang Chan himself addresses them.
It makes me wonder: how is he even aware of these arguments? I’m not sure how active he is online, but for the sake of his mental well-being, I really think he shouldn’t be spending time in these toxic spaces. His messages on Bubble are especially heartbreaking—it feels like he’s constantly blaming himself for everything his fans do, and that’s just not right.
He needs to realize that these kinds of people will always find something to be toxic about, whether he says anything or not. Blaming himself won’t stop them—it only hurts him. I genuinely hope he can step back from this, stop internalizing their behavior, and protect his peace of mind.
