Stray Kids’ Bang Chan Was A Social Butterfly During ISAC — Here’s Everyone He Hung Out With
Fans of K-Pop groups love to see their faves interact with other idols and that is exactly what happens during the annual Idol Star Athletic Championships. Idol friendships are put on display for fans and the world to see(and hopefully get some cute videos or pictures of).
This year there was one idol, in particular, that seemed to be a huge social butterfly and that was none other than Stray Kids‘ Bang Chan!
Fans of JYP Entertainment‘s “JYP Nation” were thrilled to see the cute interactions between members of Stray Kids, NMIXX, ITZY, and Xdinary Heroes. Bang Chan in particular seemed to have a good time interacting with his labelmates.
Bang Chan and ITZY’s Ryujin had some hilarious moments including Ryujin knocking into Bang Chan causing him to fall over and Bang Chan getting revenge by untying her shoelaces. Fans love the sibling rivalry going on between the two!
NAURRR, NO ONE CAN SURVIVE FROM RYUJIN 😭 pic.twitter.com/YnhZMXefQq

His interactions with the other members of ITZY were a little less chaotic while Bang Chan went viral for the “elderly” way he approached NMIXX’s Lily to pat her on her head. Stray Kids as a whole, including Bang Chan, passed the time by playing games with Xdinary Heroes as well!

In another funny moment, Bang Chan was “kidnapped” by AB6IX‘s Woong and taken over to where the other members of AB6IX were sitting. He’s greeted by Daehwi, Donghyun, and Woojin before Donghyun tries to pull him down and kiss him! Bang Chan and Woong have been friends since pre-debut and fans love seeing the two interact.
Bang Chan also greeted and chatted with N.Flying‘s Jaehyun…
…..and shared some laughs with MCND before sending them off with a “fighting” gesture.
Bang Chan and the other members of Stray Kids also got to greet and chat with fellow Kingdom: Legendary War alumni ATEEZ. Both groups participated in the archery competition and it led to a hilarious moment between the two groups.
bang chan is the most social butterfly who gets along with literally EVERYONE! he even went to talk with the ateez members he’s such an open individual~ pic.twitter.com/sCIYwl1KQF

Another interaction fans were excited to see was between Bang Chan and Kep1er‘s Mashiro. Mashiro is a former JYP Entertainment trainee and even made an appearance alongside members of ITZY during Stray Kids, the reality program that formed the group.
Bang Chan’s friendliness and social nature are no surprise to STAY who insist that he isn’t just friends with K-Pop idols, but could be friends with any and everyone he approaches!
drop that "bangchan is friends with half of the kpop industry " he's literally friends with all the kpop industry starting from gen1 to gen4 and their staff and bosses and moms
