Stray Kids Bang Chan Reacts To Online Criticism Over Bubble Messages, Says THIS!

After the backlash grew, K-pop star Bang Chan posted another message on the fan chat app.

Whatever a K-pop idol posts or says always creates massive buzz online. The same happens with 4th-gen boy group Stray Kids’ leader Bang Chan. His every message tends to go viral quickly for different reasons. Just like that, some of his recent posts have faced heavy criticism from netizens. Read on to know why and what online users are saying.

Recently, on the fan chat app Bubble, Bang Chan used a super cute and playful tone, like writing “twied” instead of “tried”. This style grabbed attention fast, with screenshots spreading like wildfire everywhere. Some fans found it adorable and fun, while others called it too childish for someone nearing 30 and next what? It led to heated online debates.

Soon after the backlash grew, Bang Chan posted another message on Bubble. He appeared to have read the criticism about his behaviour and age. In his reply, he asked fans how he should act now that he is almost 30. He pointed out that fans’ actions affect him a lot, and his actions affect the fans in return. He gently asked everyone to avoid starting arguments or fights over these small matters.

Fans reacted in very different ways. Some stood up to support him fully. They explained that his cute speaking style is simply part of his real personality. It helps him feel closer to fans. They said idols deserve space to be themselves.

On the other hand, some fans described the situation as awkward or uncomfortable. They believed the overly cute tone seemed forced and did not fit his age well.

They shared that those moments were actually very sweet and showed his kind and sweet nature.
