About Bang Chan
Christopher Chahn Bahng (born 3 October 1997), known professionally as Bang Chan (Korean: 방찬), is an Australian singer, rapper, songwriter, and record producer based in South Korea. Signed to JYP Entertainment, he is the leader of the South Korean boy band Stray Kids and a member of 3Racha, an in-house production team and sub-unit of Stray Kids. Bang Chan played a pivotal role in forming Stray Kids by selecting trainees, naming the group, and designing its logo. The survival show Stray Kids documented this process, focusing on whether Bang Chan's team would debut together, in contrast to typical survival shows where agency management determines the lineup. Since February 2023, he has been a full member of the Korea Music Copyright Association (KOMCA). Beyond creating music for Stray Kids, he has composed for TV series like Pop Out Boy!, Tower of God, and Re:Revenge – In the End of Desire, as well as films including Doraemon: Nobita's Sky Utopia and Deadpool & Wolverine. Bang Chan has also written songs for artists such as JO1, Yao Chen, and Show Lo, and collaborated with Alesso, Sky-Hi, Tiger JK, Lil Durk, and Japanese singer Lisa. In 2019, as part of the group's first variety show, Finding SKZ, the group travelled to Australia, where Bang Chan helped organise activities to introduce his bandmates to the culture of his homeland. Bang Chan and Hyunjin's first collaborative sub-unit track together, "Red Lights", was included in Stray Kids' second studio album, NoEasy. In early 2018, he, along with the other Stray Kids members, released their first pre-debut album, EP Mixtape, featuring the group's self-composed songs from the survival show.
