Stray Kids' Bang Chan Edits His Instagram Captions, And STAYs Are Upset Why

At the start of the month, many Stray Kids members created individual Instagram accounts.

Leader Bang Chan chose the handle @gnabnahc. His first post included photos of himself, captioned, “All smiles and positive energy #STAY #0802.”

It has since been edited, though. Now, it reads, “0802 #STAY.” This is not the only post he edited, either.

While Bang Chan had only uploaded three posts so far, he had already established a style exclusive to him. He would post photos of himself with a positive caption along with the date and #STAY, which STAYs appreciated.

Yet, Bang Chan posted via bubble for JYPNation that he considered simplifying his Instagram captions. He believed they were too cringy.

– Hmm…

– I think my insta captions should be more simple

– It is a little cringe too haha

– Hang on

– Oh this is much better hahaha

– I would rather want to put your name as the caption

After, he updated all his Instagram captions. So, now, they only included the date and #STAY.

Chan changed all his insta captions & said ok bubble that he prefer like this 🥺 I just hope he know that we all loved his original idea too 🥹 but if he’s happy with this, it’s whatever he love & prefer as always 🤍 pic.twitter.com/UTPSszYoc7

STAYs were disappointed that Bang Chan felt the need to edit his Instagram captions. They are concerned that others have criticized him so much that he became self-conscious about it.

Hate how Bang Chan’s behavior is scrutinized to the point he is forced to change his ways for the sake of some people’s comfort. And no, the captions under his posts were not “cringy”, and he shouldn’t have felt the need to delete them. He is not harming anyone, let him be.

his ig captions were so bang chan like it was fun to see a bit or a hint of what goes on inside his head like it’s so cute how he just came up with them while looking at the pics ☹️

Whatever the reason, we hope Bang Chan genuinely did it for himself and not out of concern for what others think about him.
