It makes me wonder if Chinese kids like those fancy manhwa-like faces like Hyunjin and Felix’s and Jaechan is pretty solid too.. maybe because of his drama? They may have the Hallyu ban, but they are still watching every drama out there”
• “Stray Kids sure are super popular”
• “It’s daebak how Stray Kids’ Chinese fans showed the proofs of their purchaes. People were accusing them of sajaegi because their sales randomly went up so they released proofs of their purchases right away”
