Relationship with Fandom

as a stay, i’m terribly angered. we shouldn't cover everything up for bangchan. he's feigning ignorance and still hasn't apologized. i think we should all openly complain about how he has the AUDACITY to have the biggest, purest heart in the universe. it's unacceptable.

L0VECB97[1]

Chan is fiercely protective of Stays and has broken down, crying, during a concert shouting out that he will always protect them, as well as his group members and their crew[2].

I'm a relatively new STAY, and that shook me. it hit so deep. I personally haven't ever seen a clip of bangchan so angry and serious. he's always there to protect his members and fans but I've never seen him get this angry because he always tries to keep it positive. you can hear the hurt in his voice. As a leader he's gone through so much. But I'll always remember this...

zainab6043[3]

that clips is what turned me into a proper hard stay no one in my life has ever said those words to me and it really felt like he was saying it to me, it felt safe.

clueless9726[4]

Fans have chanted "Best Leader" to Bang Chan during concerts, and his members have even joined them. In June 2023, on Shining Awards, he was nominated for 'Best Leader[5].'

bubble

Chan offers fanservice in many ways, one of which being on the social platform bubble.

Mrs. Bang

On the 19th of December 2023 he said some things on bubble that led to a variety of memes and fanart[6], involving the term 'Mrs. Bang.'

[ao3slutracha[7]]
my theory that the a/b/o world is real and that chn goes into heat / rut once every 1-2 months and it's noticeable on 🫧 still stands, i'm just saying
[wantonmoonlight[8] replied to ao3slutracha]
Can someone please let my man hit, please please please he’s undeniably DESPERATE
The aforementioned A/B/O 'theory' is not limited to Chan or self insert fantasy.

Chan's Room

The first episode of Chan's Room occurred on the 2nd of January 2019[9]. Bang Chan would do livechats with Stays, promising that starting June 2020 to do them once a week[10] after fans expressed that having previously waited a month between live chats was difficult. He considered it therapeutic, having a community to interact with in such a way.

he's like sharing All his free time w stays from spending hours on stay community to chan's room to movie nights like i just love him so bad 😭

castletowne[11]

At the end of each chat, he would consistently "hug" the camera, so fans could feel his affection for them.

Around the 15th of January 2023, Chan missed giving the Stays a hug:

[hhyunprint[12]]
we're soooooo spoiled, one chan's room without a hug and we're acting like the world is falling apart 😭😭😭
[hyunehans[13] replied to hhyunprint]
i kind of feel wronged we didnt get one…which is absolutely ridiculous 😂😂 we are so definitely spoiled
[hhyunprint[14] replied to hyunehans]

yup, like something that was rightfully ours got taken away, he pampers us so much and now look at us 😭😭😭

Episode 69 by LAZYPUNCH, 2020.
can’t believe stayville is in shambles bc this 25yo man did not hug us virtually through a camera a million miles away

moonbxnnie[15]

Eventually, Chan went on hiatus from these live chats in May 2023.

sometimes i would leave them playing in the background while i got ready for the day. i'm sure chan was part of many stays' weekly routines.

LAZYPUNCH[16]

A rumor had spread stating Chan said the company would no longer allow him to host Chan's Room[17]. However, he later posted on bubble stating that he could not continue the show for the time being, due to scheduling[18].

The past couple of weeks he’s been messaging on bubble on Sunday nights when he would have normally been doing Chan’s Room. I’m starting to think he doesn’t want to do it anymore, but he just doesn’t want to say. I mean, he doesn’t have to do it, and it was always going to come to an end one day. It’s been over two months since his last live and he used to keep it up no matter how busy he was. I get it. I’m just not ready for it to end yet 😩

hrdst[19]

I miss it so much. But I’m also proud of him for taking a break from it if that’s what he wants and needs. Some of the comments he was starting to get there were so cruel.

Etheria_system[20]

Over time, an argument developed between fans over whether or not Chan benefited from Chan's Room, as his lives often resulted in his being bullied.

[Leebittit[21]]
Chan’s room was a safe space for not only stays but ALSO FOR HIM. That was the only form of communication that he had with stays on a regular basis to build connections and let off some steam.
[cinnasungs[22] replied to Leebittit]
It’s incredibly selfish to sit here and deny all the negativity that came his way just because you enjoyed chan’s room. You can be angry all you want, but Chan’s room went downhill and he didn’t deserve that no matter if YOU liked watching him weekly or not
chan loved chans room just as much as stays did. remember in 2020 when he tried to do it once a month? & then out of nowhere he started doing it once a week again bc he said missed spending time w us? yeah

Controversy

A theory as to why Chan's Room dropped off, was that Chan had gotten discouraged after making an apology[24] for something he'd said in a Live[25].

[flowerghostwriter[26] replied to rainbowkitty6789]
he mentioned that he thinks it's sad that some younger people don't greet their elders because he was raised to do so and thinks it's the polite thing to do. and then some people started making accusations who he could've been talking about and then "stays" drew conclusions about which idols specifically he could've meant although he, at no point, mentioned ANY names. and then people got upset and singled him out and blamed him and he got so much backlash that he had to apologize publicly :( which isn't fair because he's not the first one to address this, other members of big groups have talked about this too, but he got singled out for it.
[diaphoni[27] replied to flowerghostwriter]
they like to single him out and the rest of the boys too for things other idols do with no backlash and it infuriates me. It was some Stay who did go seeking who it might be but ALSO the same group that Stay guessed, their fan base immediately 'knew' who he was calling out and it was bad on both sides. I feel that if, when someone mentions bad behavior from a group and you automatically decide it must be your fav group, that you already knew they were doing disrespectful ish and it says a lot that they jumped the same time stay did
[pauldesjardins1265[28] replied to diaphoni]

it was not Stays place (especially after he asked us not to)to seek out and go after other groups. This is the consequences of that action. [...] Don't have Bubble so didn't know he had posted saying he wouldn't be doing Chan's Room. Just guessed that it was 1 of 3 reasons. 1) He was upset with Stays for doing what he asked not to be done and this was the punishment (but he doesn't seem to be like that) 2) He was instructed that he no longer could do them without supervision and this was his way of rebelling against that. 3) He was looking for a way to end Chan's Room and took this incident as his opportunity. I don't know what exactly he posted (wording wise) in Bubble to get an idea if this was communicated as a possible forever hiatus or said he wouldn't be doing them for a bit. Either way I am sure some fandoms are happy for our suffering.

Fanservice

One fan stated, jokingly, about his interactions with fans:

every day i am made an unwilling participant in chn’s parasocial y/n d/s roleplay

haedeluna[29]

if you think parasocial relationships are not real then you’ve never met christopher my man in fact is the one who invented it

skzwrld0325[30]

While some fans will out themselves as 'delusional' or 'delulu' they also occasionally point fingers back at Chris[31].

Stray kids is the only group where you'll see idols being more delulu than the fans themselves, i bet chan is staying up all night writing a fanfic of him and his precious y/n💀😭

felixislookingforhisbrowni7304[32]

[4luvrrr (in reference to Stays' flirting)[33]]
he’s literally twirling his hair kicking his feet reading those pick up lines😭😭😭😭
[LovelyLittleLillies[34] replied to 4luvrrr]
He must've been going through a dating ban for like a decade and now his inner middle schooler is coming out at 25 😂

He has been praised for occasionally using inclusive language when talking about his fans, and his relationship with them[35].

Livechats

Livechats used to be done on VLive before WeVerse purchased it. After that point, JYPE were unable to have their groups livestream there anymore. This included Stray Kids' Bang Chan. He, and the other members, were forced to stream on another host.

Fandom

Fans sometimes call him Channie.

Staging

In 2019 one fan announced a 'Birthday Project' and suggested the hashtags to be used to celebrate Chan's birthday, as well as suggested the use of a Twibbon[36], stating that: "in a recent vlive chan wished he could be a hero so by trending it alongside #HappyBangChanDay we can let him know how much we admire him & that he’s our hero!"

On Twitter, Stays have a variety of identifiers for which Stray Kid they are referring to. Chan's emoji is: 🐺. People also use misspelled versions of their names to avoid the search engine.
