But seriously, REST. rest for some goddamn time. Do stuff you like and enjoy besides being hunched over your laptop that's probably on life support. I'd say so much about how much you mean to me and shit but it's your birthday so I'll spare you 😁 but seriously, love you! 💗

-Saisha from AUS

People keep saying "oh if i saw chan id do this and that" but they dont know that hes the first person id run to and hug in a room full of anyone else ive liked. They dont know how much a singular hug from this man would make me feel a million times better. They dont know how much i crave the innocent love and care he gives his members. They dont know how much his words to stay had GENUINELY affected me, not in a 'aww look what hes saying' way, more 'like a sobbing my eyes out because no one had ever comforted me that much before, let alone through a screen' way. They dont know how many times ive hugged my phone back while crying when he does the 'big hug' even though i wasnt there to watch chans room live. They dont know how much he genuinely means to me and how hes not 'just a kpop idol' to me, hes way more than that. Even if i ever stop being a stay, ill always remember the effect he had on me and how he helped me go through very though times through both his existence and words, and his music. If chan even ends up seeing this one day, i just hope he knows that theres a lonley girl somewhere in the world that he and his members help make feel better.

And also thank you for making me stay💞

Your STAY Sama, from Egypt ✨️

WE ALL LOVE YOU ❤️❤️❤️❤️

anyways happy birthday channie 💝

Happy Birthday!

Even though you probably don’t know I exist, I have to say it: you are honestly one of the kindest, funniest, cutest, most hardworking people I’ve ever seen. And those songs you write that make you act all shy? Iconic. Also… your nose. I love your nose. It’s perfect.

Whenever someone asks me my type, I just… describe you. Personality, looks, laugh, everything. I’m so proud of all you’ve done, the goals you’ve reached, and how you’ve helped me through some of my darkest times without even knowing it. You’ve been my light when everything else felt dark.

At first, I thought K-pop was kind of weird and not really for me—not that I was trying to be different—but then something changed. I found myself lying in bed, tear-stained, and I came across that video of Felix in Case 143. That pulled me in. But I’m still here because of all of you together—you’re why I stay.

And when I say I squealed with joy, I literally squealed in the middle of the hallway at my school. No shame.

You all came to my city a few years back. At that time, I lived in a different country and didn’t even like K-pop yet. Now that I know you were here where I live now… I’m a little jealous of everyone who got to see you. But I’m genuinely happy for them too.

Another reason I don’t even have a YouTube channel is because of you. You would probably judge me so hard. I have very weird thoughts, and I’m not putting them online. But here I am, writing this anyway.

When I heard you got silver hair, my exams were happening so I couldn’t see it myself. My friend told me, and I squealed again. But honestly… with or without hair, we still love you. All of us. Always.

Chan… I desperately need a hug from you. One hug could erase all my pain, fix my broken days, and reboot my soul. There’s so much I feel that words can’t hold. I would do anything to help you too—to make you smile when you’re tired, to support you like you’ve supported me, and maybe even make a few terrible jokes just to see you laugh.

Seeing the members happy makes me ridiculously happy too. They’re amazing, and the new hair colors? Incredible. But Chan… if you curl your blonde hair, I swear you’d earn a permanent spot in every girl’s smash cake. Please send my love to all the members—they’re so loved and appreciated.

I hope to see you truly happy. Please don’t let any hate get into your beautiful, handsome brain. You deserve peace, love, and joy, always.

I also really want to be friends with all of you—Felix, Lee Know, Han, Seungmin, I.N, Hyunjin, Changbin—every single one. I want to wake up and say good morning to these amazing people, to tell them exactly how much I love them and why, every single day. The part I’m joking about is saying I’m such a good and nice person they have to be friends with me. But my desire to actually connect with them? That’s completely real.

Also, I’m on a personal mission to find the people who said “Gang Chan in a bandana looks bad.” Don’t worry—I’ve got you. And one more thing… you honestly deserve to be 6’5. The body, personality, flirting—it all matches. (Don’t take the height thing personally.)

And if you ever wanted to text me, I wouldn’t say no. Snap ID at the bottom. Yes, I’m acting bold and shamelessly delulu giving you my Snap ID, but I can’t help it.

Also, you and the whole group really need to take breaks. We can survive a few months without new amazing music, promise. Please rest, relax, and take care of yourselves—you deserve it more than anything.

I’m sorry for writing so much, but this is literally just the short version of everything I want to say. You could probably make an essay out of all the things I didn’t write here.

Chan… thank you for being you. Sweet, goofy, shy, hardworking… impossible not to love. Somehow you make me laugh, cry, and swoon all at the same time. I hope this year brings you as much joy as you’ve given the world. We all love you so much.

I love all of you with my whole heart. You’re all insanely sweet, and I still don’t think even an essay could explain how much I love you or everything I want to say. The problem is… if I met y’all, I’d probably just hug you, cry, and completely forget what I was going to say. Totally selfish, I know, but that’s how much you all mean to me.

With all my heart (and desperate hug energy),

Yours lovingly

Ananya

PS: I am so sorry for writing so much , but it’s still less to express how much I’ll love y’all , anyways , I have to say sorry that i hurt myself and also thank you, because I don’t do that anymore even though I think it is my fault in anything because that is not the only way , even though I feel that I am to blame , all because of u , I’m so so so grateful to y’all .😘😘😘also have a great bday. Hopefully my half sappiness didn’t ruin it already and I know I’m so nice and sweet so please think a lot about my offer of being friends and my snap id. I want to send my love to all the members , 😭but I can’t so take it

from here , byeeeeee❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘🫡🫡🫡

you have been a big part of me and helped me a lot in my life, i discovered you were my bias ( i was OT8 ) you and seungmin and honestly i'm really really happy that it's you because idk what i would have done without you... you saved me. so thank you bang chan from all my heart you are an inspiration to me and don't hate yourself because maybe you don't see it but you're a wonderful person and you make me feel more happy and confident everyday thank you bang chan...💞

from one of you're "baby girls"ㅋㅋㅋㅋ😆

I know you know English but I felt like it.

I hope you have the best time and day and work a bit less and treat yourself to some rest and other things!!! You are loved and all STAYs are so so so proud of you.

You work so hard for us and everyone else.

The members love you and so do we!!!

ㅋㅋㅋ 하하하

You are so talented and your parents, friends, brother and sister groups all are so incredibly proud of you and I know I have written that a lot but it is so true you don't deserve any hate or any criticism (unless you take it well) and you are the best leader a group could ever ask for

(From my friend, you're her bias) ㅋㅋ

Chan you are so amazing and talented I hope you have a wonderful day with the

members HAPPY BIRTHDAY kangaroo 🦘

Channie, always remember that nothing will ever, EVER, change how much we love you. Because to us, you are everything. Some (including me) call you our HOME❤️ that means we think about you, day and night. And we love you to the mooooooooooooon and back. and words don’t even explain it~ and we hope you know that you mean the world to staa💫. no no, you mean the Multiverse to staa✨💫. And that doesn’t even show a quarter of how much we love you. And I hope this paragraph of not even half of a half of a quarter of a quarter of our love for you shows you how much you mean to us. and once more, Happy Birthday channie ❤️

~ yours truly

Stay❤️

Please, remember to take care of yourself. Your health is more important to us than anything! You mean so much to us STAYs, and you’re loved not only by all the millions of STAY all around the world, but also by your members, family and friends!

Please take care and celebrate your birthday with joy! 🎉

I hope that no matter how hard it gets, you'll keep going, for us, for your kids and most importantly yourself! Take care of you the way you take care of us <3

I'm not really sure what to say but honestly it'll probably be a thank you.

thank you for everything you've done for us, stray kids, the people around you, and for existing.

you have the most beautiful, kindest, purest soul even known to human kind and I wake up everyday feeling like there's actually reason for me to live and look up to something. I'm forever grateful for your exitance and the fact that YOU'RE the reason I believe there's light at the end of the tunnel. You helped me so much through the worst times in my life and you've been here, even if it's not physically. I love you so much you mean the world to me, I don't think anything would be the same if I didn't stan stray kids at that random day of June 2023.

Genuinely, thank you for existing and following your dreams, not giving up when times got rough, and being here for us when we need even tho you had your own stuff to deal with.

Thank you for being that warm feeling you get after spending the whole day outside in the cold.

Thank you for being the reason I got clean for almost a year. Even tho I did give up, but I'll try getting better and not give up again like you didn't on your goals.

Thank you for being yourself and honest even tho you know how some fans are.

Thank you. I love you, dearly.

No words could ever describe the way I feel when I see you smile, laugh, or get excited over the smallest things. And don't get me wrong, the small things matter.

The way your dimples show when you smile, and your cute squeaky laugh. The way your ears turn instantly red when you're embarrassed, or the way you just get "😧" when you're shocked or impressed. It all makes me wanna stay a STAY for as long as I can. :)

Yet, when you get upset or things get to much at work, with fans, and you feel drained, I feel like all I wanna do is be there and be the one to comfort you. The same way you did to me.

That's the reason I don't wanna give up on my dreams either.

I always loved music, writing, art. It's risky, but that's all I wanna do.

I wanna make music and write lyrics that people could relate to, cry to, laugh to, feel like someone gets them. I wanna be seen as someone like you. I wanna be remembered as a person that wasn't just a famous musician, but also as someone who could provide at least the smallest amount of comfort. That would be enough, really.

Honestly, I wanna be like you, just in my own version. And I feel like that is my calling.

You're my idol, really. You're my role model, and the person I look up to every single day. And I'm glad it's you

But anyway, you're 28 now. It's been 15 years since you left home to join JYPE, trying to achieve your dreams when you were only 13, it's been so long you even said you were starting to forget your own siblings' voices.

7 years. 7 years of training non-stop. Learning about music instead of equations in math class, seeing your closet friends leave, seeing new people come, or even seeing your friends achieve your dreams before you when you were working so hard.

I'm so proud of you for not giving up on your passion. You were just a kid. Yet you were raising 8 more, even tho one left.

Those 7 years were the toughest, I'm sure. But they were worth it, because you're the reason some people are still here on planet earth, and the reason they keep on going.

It hurt seeing you talking about your past knowing that I wasn't able to do anything about it back then, and man I was just a little kid the age gap is crazy.

Hearing you speak about how you felt and what you went through killed me.

Genuinely, I'm so glad you met the other Stray Kids members, because you said that if it wasn't for them you wouldn't even be on planet earth.

I'm grateful each day for knowing that you know such amazing people cause if they stayed away I might've not been on this fuckass planet too. You, Minho, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and Jeongin and like those gentle rays of sunshine at the early morning, my light :)

But anyways, I'm sorry about all this.

Happy birthday, ml. Seeing you grow up like this, and knowing your story makes me feel like some proud dad even tho I'm kinda half your age.

Love you, forever.

💛

An angel - a messenger, a guide, a protector. A being, too pure, too altruistic, too warmhearted for this world.

I thank the universe every day that I am one of the people who know such a being. The day I laid eyes on this angel, I could feel it. His warmth, radiating, shining upon me. Healing me. Healing us, lucky stays. I am immensely greatful that this person cares about us to such an extent, envelloping us with such warmth and care.

As you know, this angel is you, Bang Chan. Happy birthday, happy, literally extatic 28 years of making the world a better place, being the light in millions of people's lives.

...

Sometimes however, this angel gets hurt. It is unfortunatelly only natural that an angel would fall victim to the tendency of mankind : to pick apart anything they see good in.

Its not your fault.

This causes our angel, to forget that he is one. He tends to give others more than he gives to himself.

How come? I guess it must've been the price he had to pay when sent down to earth...a price he had to, and chose to pay, for the wellbeing of others.

As Platos theory of anamnesis suggests, I am, we are, here to aid our angel into recollection, to remind him what he deserves, the love he deserves. Because our angel...he deserves the whole world.

Maybe we'll be able to give back to our angel, just as he gave to us? It wont be like him though, as he did, withought expecting back, or having recieved anything.

...

I hope my angel can see how much his music, his words, his leadership, have impacted all of us.

I remember.. amidst the chaos of my life, the expectations, the acceleration... you. 😇

Yes, Chris. Your music keeps us going. Your incredible, incessant hard work is our light. But, Chris, you're perfect alone too.

The heights you have reached, the records you have set.. i'm sure they make you leave that part out. From experience. And I know how hard it is to install that mindset.

But you have us.

As Shakespeare said, i'd "make me a willow cabin at your gate, and call upon my soul within the house...Hallow your name to the reverberate hills...And cry out "Chris 🤭" O, you should not rest. Between the elements of air and earth. But you shall pity me!"

We're all here, by your side. We wont fail to remind you that, chris. Were not going anywhere.

- "Thank you, Chris"
