Life and career

Bahng Christopher Chahn (Korean: 방찬; Bang Chan) was born on October 3, 1997 in Seoul, South Korea and was raised in Sydney, Australia.[2] His younger sister is Hannah Bahng, an Australian singer-songwriter and content creator, and he has a younger brother, Lucas.[3] He attended the Newtown High School of the Performing Arts where he trained in ballet and modern dance. At the age of 13, he passed the 2010 JYP Entertainment Global Audition held in Australia and moved to South Korea to become a trainee. He graduated from Chungdam High School.[4][5]

In 2017, a JYPE survival show was announced to launch a male idol debut project headed by Chan.[7][8] Bang Chan was tasked with selecting trainees for forming his group. The members themselves came up with their own group name Stray Kids (shortened to skz) as well as the slogan (Step Out), fandom name (Stay) and fanchant (Stays everywhere, all around the world, you make Stray Kids stay).[9][10] Chan officially debuted as the leader of Stray Kids on March 25, 2018.[11]
