Stray Kids leader Bang Chan spoke to fans on a live broadcast and requested that STAYS not attack other artists
In a live broadcast on TikTok, the leader of Stray Kids, Bang Chaninserted a very important topic: respect between fandoms and artists.
On the occasion, as reported by the Koreaboo portal, the idol read a comment that said: “we must protect Stray Kids”, which led him to thank the support of the group’s fans, called STAYs, as well as making a special request , as he requested that those who admire the formation do not direct malicious comments to other groups and soloists in an attempt to defend them, regardless of the situation.
In fact, I’m very happy that we have STAYs on our side. We have STAYs looking out for us and stuff like that, but sometimes after watching the things you guys do, I want to say it’s always good… we’re grateful that you guys try to protect us, right? But protecting us should be the only thing you do, but putting others down is something you shouldn’t do.”
Right away, Bang Chan highlighted what the action can cause, as it can create a distorted public perception about fans and the group.
You will ruin your own image, you will ruin our image too… let’s keep Stray Kids and STAY’s image as cool as possible. So yes, protecting ourselves is good, putting others down is not good. Because it’s not going to fix anything, it’s not going to do anything good.”
The star also reinforced that he understands that certain attitudes and comments can be revolting, but it is necessary to maintain respect so that fans do not prove to be like those who attack Stray Kids.
Even if something really, really shakes you up and you’re like, ‘oh my God, how could you say that? I’m going to say so many bad things.’ Just don’t do it. I know it’s annoying, I know it’s really, really agitating… but in the long run, if you start something, if you fight back, you’re becoming the same person. It won’t make you any different.”
Finally, he shared advice he received from his own father that should also be heeded by STAYs, as it teaches that letting go is the best solution.
My father taught me: ‘sometimes it’s good to lose to win’. Sometimes it’s good to just ignore things and not care about anything.”
