A recent fancall with Stray Kids’ Bang Chan has sparked a huge debate online.

During the fan call, the OP spoke to Bang Chan about the issues.
I am actually suffering because [inaudible] I can’t see you guys in Seoul. They actually closed the international payment and we can’t pick our seats, we can’t make payments. We’re all very desperate. We can’t see you there. I am actually sometimes I am very [inaudible] of K-Stays who can see you often, and the jealousy is killing me.
— OP
She then asked him for help and Bang Chan took some time to think about his answer and explained that feeling jealous is a “natural instinct,” but that it wasn’t going to make anything better.
While he added that he hoped they could see each other, the fan asked if anything could be done about YES24 and the international payments. Bang Chan then honestly explained, “Maybe, but I can’t fix all of your problems.”
A fan shared the video online, and it immediately caught the attention of netizens.
I thought a lot about whether to post this one fc or not.
The topic was some op concerns about Yes24 ticketing.
Hope with this, you can remember he's JUST an SKZ member and even if I'm pretty sure he would like, how he said so nice and clearly, HE CAN'T FIX ALL YOUR PROBLEMS.+ pic.twitter.com/SpngRTvRsT— Popi🌸🥠♥️ || ✨️찬이의 “방” 🐺 Ep. 209✨️ (@beachboi1003) August 12, 2024
Another fan on TikTok posted the video, praising Bang Chan for his response.
@lord.j.one chan is skz leader not the ceo of his company😭💀 #bangchan #straykids #skz #skz4thgenleaders
Netizens also couldn’t get over how the fan had the chance to speak to Bang Chan but used it to complain, praising the idol for being realistic when asked to “solve” the issues with the ticketing.
The debate on the etiquette for fan calls is always an issue, with many wondering what is appropriate or not to talk about with idols. While Bang Chan is the leader, many believe issues like this are not for him to deal with and the OP should’ve gone through other means, including the YES24 website.
