Why A Picture Of Stray Kids’ Bang Chan, Felix, And ENHYPEN’s Jake Meant So Much To All 3 Of Them
Stray Kids‘ Bang Chan held a live broadcast after KCON LA 2022 and excitedly talked to fans about finally meeting ENHYPEN‘s Jake. The two idols are both from Australia, where fellow Stray Kids member Felix is also from, and Bang Chan had nothing but nice things to say about his new friend.
I finally got to meet up with this specific person. He’s an angel.
— Bang Chan
In his live broadcast, Bang Chan explained that he wanted to look out for Jake.
He’s definitely someone that I am going to try my best to take care of. Because we are from the same continent.
— Bang Chan
Although they only had a brief interaction at KCON LA, Bang Chan got Jake’s information so they could communicate more in the future.
It felt really nice to be able to meet up with him. It was a very brief talk, but I got his contacts. And, I will be taking care of him. I sound like a dad, but I’ll try my best to take care of him.
— Bang Chan
He endearingly referred to the idol as “our little Australian fella” and suggested that he and Felix would make sure to be there for him.
I feel like he could use a buddy or two, so Felix and I, we both got to get along and get friendly [with him].
— Bang Chan
Since the live broadcast, fans of both groups have been excitedly waiting for more interactions between the trio and it seems like Bang Chan kept his promise and met up with Jake and Felix to celebrate Chuseok together along with New Zealand-born Australian comedian Sam Hammington.

Given the importance of family during Chuseok, fans were extra glad that the three idols got to spend time with each other since they could not go home for the holiday.
“we finally get to meet up with this specific person & he's an angel.”
“he could use a buddy or two. felix & i, we both got to get along”
“i'll do my best to take care of him”
“our little australian fella.”

Jake later mentioned how close he has gotten with Bang Chan (Chris) and Felix.
Hopefully Bang Chan, Felix, and Jake will have many more interactions in the future.
