Stray Kids’ Felix Gains Attention For Setting Boundaries After “Weird” Birthday Gifts
Stray Kids‘ Felix gained praise for “setting boundaries” during a recent live broadcast.
To celebrate his birthday, Felix did a live broadcast where he chatted and interacted with fans worldwide who were watching.
During the broadcast, because Felix is sometimes linked to being a cat, the staff provided different items related to the animal, like cat ears and paws. Fans shared praise for Felix as the idol seemingly shared his reactions to having to wear certain items, being honest as he put the items on.
Felix was then given something with a bow on it, and the idol seemed shocked after realizing that it was a choker.
After contemplating, he said, “Am I really going to do this? No.”
As he read comments about whether he should wear it, the idol seemed uncomfortable with wearing it around his neck.
He then showcased his personal boundaries as he pointed out the ears and paws, adding, “I think this is enough, okay?”
He then got given a tail and asked whether he should put it on, before trying it and saying, “No, this is weird.”
When the items were given to Felix, some fans already had negative feelings because of the sometimes sexual connotations surrounding those kinds of things.
idk if im flying too close to the sun but its actually really weird to give an idol accessories very commonly associated with fetishwear with the silent implication that they play into fanservice wearing those items

Flx telling people as loudly as he can to stop making him wear kitty stuff at f4nsigns 😆
The hybrid fic enjoyer in me is pouting but the much larger part that knows they’re real people is CHEERING abt the fact that he feels comfortable enough to be like “um. No.” pic.twitter.com/VZe7aP5W6L
