Bang Chan (방찬 bangchan) was born on October 3, 1997 (age 27) in Seoul, South Korea. He is the leader of the group Stray Kids, as well as a producer, vocalist, rapper and dancer.[4]

Personal life

Bang Chan was born on October 3, 1997 in Seoul and moved to Sydney, Australia.[5] He took dance classes including ballet and modern dance at Newtown High School of the Performing Arts.[6] He also enjoyed playing sports and won many swimming awards, as his dad was a swimming instructor.[7]

After moving to South Korea, he graduated from Chungdam High School.[8] He started making songs by himself with a MacBook program when he was in the first year of high school. He stopped at first because it was difficult then started again in his third year and produces songs ever since.[9]

On October 3, 2024, Bang Chan donated 100 million won to "Community Chest of Korea" to help people with developmental disabilities. He was then appointed as a member of the "Honor Society".[10]

Career

2010 - 2017: Predebut

In 2010, at the age of 13, he passed a local audition in Australia for JYP Entertainment. Despite his young age, he moved to South Korea to train and joined JYPE on April 11, 2011.[11] He trained for 7 years, watching his trainee friends debut without him. During this period, he went by the stage name "Chris".

In late 2016, Bang Chan formed a hip-hop crew called 3RACHA with trainees Han Jisung ("J.One") and Seo Changbin ("SPEARB"), in which he used the stage name "CB97". Together, they uploaded self-composed mixtapes and extended plays on SoundCloud throughout 2017.

His individual picture and name were officially revealed by JYPE on October 11, 2017, for his participation in the upcoming survival show Stray Kids.[12] He was introduced with the roles "Producing", "Vocal", "Rap", and "Dance", on top of being the leader of the "Male Group Project" he formed by himself with J.Y. Park. On the final episode of the show on December 19, 2017, it was confirmed that Bang Chan would debut as the leader of the boy group Stray Kids.

2018-present: Stray Kids

On March 26, 2018, Bang Chan debuted with the mini album I am NOT as the leader, producer, lead dancer and lead vocalist of Stray Kids.[13]

On March 23, 2020, he released a dance cover of "My House" by 2PM, as part of the SKZ-PLAYER series.

On May 30, 2020, he released the self composed song "i hate to admit" as part of the SKZ-RECORD series.

On December 21, 2022, Bang Chan co-wrote his original solo song "Connected" for the best album SKZ-REPLAY.

On February 3, 2023, Bang Chan was promoted as a regular member of KOMCA.[14]
