Stray Kids has 8 members: Bang Chan (leader), Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N. The group debuted on March 25, 2018 under JYP Entertainment, and their fans are called STAY. The oldest member is Bang Chan (born 1997) and the youngest is I.N (born 2001).

Han and Felix were born one day apart, on September 14 and 15, with Seungmin a week later. I.N, the only 2001-born member, is the maknae.
The units: 3RACHA, Dance Racha and Vocal Racha
3RACHA, the creative core
Bang Chan, Changbin and Han make up 3RACHA, the group's production team. They were already putting out their own tracks online before debut. Today they write and compose most of Stray Kids' songs, which is still rare in K-pop and gives the group its unmistakable sound.
Dance Racha
Lee Know, Hyunjin and Felix are the dance pillars. A big part of the choreography's impact comes from them, and they often help shape it.
Vocal Racha
Seungmin and I.N handle the most demanding vocal lines. Theirs are usually the voices you hear on the bridges and the highest choruses.
Each Stray Kids member in a nutshell
Bang Chan, the leader
Bang Chan grew up in Sydney and spent around seven years as a JYP trainee before debut. Leader and producer, he looks after the group like a big brother and talks to STAY on livestreams all the time.
Lee Know, the dancer
Lee Min-ho worked as a backup dancer, including for BTS, before joining JYP. Deadpan humor, razor-sharp dancing, and three cats fans know by heart.
Changbin, the rapper
Seo Chang-bin raps at breakneck speed and produces as part of 3RACHA. Explosive on stage, a softie off it.
Hyunjin, the visual
Hwang Hyun-jin is a dancer and rapper with intensely expressive performances. He's also a keen painter who regularly shares his work.
Han, the all-rounder
Han Ji-sung raps fast, sings and composes: he's one of the group's creative engines. He spent part of his childhood in Malaysia.
Felix, the deep voice
Lee Felix was born and raised in Sydney, like Bang Chan. His super deep voice and sunny smile have made him one of the most recognizable members in K-pop.
Seungmin, the vocalist
Kim Seung-min is the main vocalist: clear, steady, always on pitch. A huge baseball fan with a famously quick wit.
I.N, the maknae
Yang Jeong-in is from Busan. The youngest member, with a voice that's both soft and powerful, he's the baby the other seven love to tease.
Where Stray Kids came from
The group was formed through the reality show Stray Kids, which aired on Mnet in fall 2017. Nine members officially debuted on March 25, 2018 with the EP I Am NOT and the title track "District 9." Woojin left in October 2019, and Stray Kids has been eight ever since. In July 2024, JYP announced that all members had renewed their contracts.
What about military service?
Bang Chan and Felix are Australian citizens, so South Korean military service doesn't apply to them. For the other six, it'll come in age order, starting with Lee Know. In August 2026 he said in an interview that he'd serve when the time comes, with no date announced. Take the schedules going around social media with a grain of salt.
How to pick your Stray Kids bias
Eight members, eight very different vibes: no wonder you're torn. The easiest way in is to start with what you're drawn to. Into lyrics and production? Look at 3RACHA. Here for the choreo? A fancam of Lee Know, Hyunjin or Felix on the same song will tip the scales fast. All about vocals? Watch Seungmin and I.N live. And if a second member barges in, that's a bias wrecker, and it happens to STAY all the time. The vocabulary is covered in what a K-pop bias is.
The STAY fandom
Stray Kids fans are called STAY: the ones who stay by the group's side. The name was revealed in 2018, the year they debuted. Want the rest? Here's our list of K-pop fandom names.
Stray Kids jerseys: three designs to customize
We carry three Stray Kids jerseys, each printed with your bias's name and number on the back, at €32.99:
- The dominATE jersey, a black mesh basketball tank with metallic lettering across the chest. The numbers follow the member order: BANG CHAN 01, LEE KNOW 02, CHANGBIN 03, HYUNJIN 04, HAN 05, FELIX 06, SEUNGMIN 07 and I.N 08. And to rep the whole group, there's the STAY 18 version, a number that nods to their debut year.
- The DO IT jersey, black and pink like an esports team kit, with a chrome logo on the chest.
- The RUN IT jersey, black with a dragon and waves in a Japanese woodblock style.
All three also come in a STAY version if you can't pick just one member. Great for a concert with friends: everyone reps their member, and the STAY version goes to whoever loves the whole group. Everything is in the Stray Kids collection, and our custom K-pop jersey guide helps with sizing and choosing a name. It's fanmade, unofficial merch, made to order: allow 1 to 3 weeks, with free shipping from €20. Sizes are Asian, so size up if you're in between.
