That's why couldn't see him💀

[@ProudZomi_CSN]

He looked so uncomfortable tho

[@ktieeee.]

Chan started to panic when Rachel asked if she was a bad dancer 😂❤

he was so awkward 😭😭😭

[@blueoceanartacademia1361]

And han side eying him

[@bambikyun3320]

Lmao he looked like he was panicking

[@Pirinka]

Bc he is always polite and it’s normal to say ppl hi first … he wasn’t awkward , he always represents the group with elegance and intelligence … actually Bang Chan was too nervous and he started panicking when Rachel said that she can’t dance …

[@lovingminiverse]

An open message to my lovely fellow Stays: With many momentous achievements our Stray Kids had gained, they remained very humble and that's why we love them so much. They not only take honor in their craft, but they are most proud of us-Stays who have been with them. To receive this much LOVE from K-Pop Idols is way beyond my expectation and that's the core reason why I am Staying until forever exists. Also, I am hoping that SKZ will bag this award for they indeed worked hard for this, but no matter what happens - I hope that we will continue to support them and work harder as well to give them what they really deserve in upcoming award shows. Stray Kids are real artists, so I think that whether they win or not, they will always be happy for the recipients of the award - so let's be like them as well Stray Kids' Reasons. Whether they go big, or go home - they'll always be at home with us and they will always be Stays' Best K-Pop, Best Artist.

[@HeatherCutright]

She did a good job interviewing them! She was relaxed, bubbly, playful and funny. She seemed genuinely excited, and I love how she made an effort to look at all of the members and not just the ones who were speaking/speaking English. Lee Know was hiding in the back, so that's on him lol. She acknowledged his presence but didn't try to make him talk.

[@kathleenweinberg5991]

I think they are great singer and performer.
