Bang Chan from Stray Kids is an idol who has been praised by fans from different fandoms for his thoughtful views on a variety of topics, especially the more controversial ones.

Bang Chan has always made STAYs proud with his open mind and kindness, whether it was about idols' manners or toxic body standards.

Bang Chan's most recent weekly live stream, called "Chan's Room," gave fans a chance to talk to him and watch him perform. He was as cute as he always was, and he was also in a good mood.

He told everyone about how excited he was that Stray Kids would be the headliners at Lollapalooza Paris 2023, an excitement that STAYs share a lot.

And while he was at it, he tried to share his TMI for the day and had a funny little breakdown over it.

Fans paid special attention to the moment when a commenter asked him to "please speak English."

Bang Chan didn't get angry, but he did say in a nice way that he can speak in any language he wants, even though he was speaking English at the time.

When someone else said, "Stop speaking Korean," Bang Chan just said that watching his live stream was optional.

Bang Chan is a Korean who works as a K-Pop idol, so the best way to interpret his reaction is that it shouldn't be surprising to hear him speaking Korean. Fans praised him right away for it.

Some STAYs joked that this has pushed social progress, while others said that over the past few months, Bang Chan seems to have entered his most real time yet, which is something everyone is very excited about.

Bang Chan has shown over and over that he is not only talented, but also a great person.

On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
