all the times bang chan proved that he is the best leader: a thread

1 - after training for 7 years, he picked all the members of stray kids on his own, came up with the name of the group and even designed the group’s logo (the group’s logo is in his handwriting)

2 - he led them through the survival show, producing 7 songs in the span of 3 months - writing, composing, arranging and he also helped in choreographing

3 - even after debut, he has written and produced 99% of skz’s discography - the only exceptions are sunshine and 19 (written by jisung) and neverending story and mixtape:on track (written by changbin)

4 - he genuinely loves making music. he’s said multiple times that producing is not a job and he loves doing it, and spends hours on hours (until past midnight) in the studio

5 - the members have said that he’s scary when he’s upset, but he’ll tell them nicely and only if they don’t listen after that, he gets mad.

even when he’s upset he doesn’t want members to get hurt

6 - he genuinely adores all his members. they’re literally like his kids

7 - he talks about his group being the most important thing to him in his raps, one example is broken compass (another one is start line)

8 - whenever a member is upset or crying, he’s always the first to run and hug them, and comfort them

9 - the members have said that he’s responsible, genuine in everything he does, and sacrificing

10 - in all award shows, whenever he has to give a speech, he always thanks us and shows his appreciation towards us, and you can feel that it’s genuine

11 - channie’s room. do i have to say more? for a whole year, he went live every single week to keep us company and help us. he promised, and he kept that promise - all 52 weeks. this year it’s a monthly thing, and to me, channie’s room feels like monthly therapy sessions

tw// depression

he told us that he’s always there for us whenever we’re having a hard time and have a lot on our mind. this is not the only time he’s said this. he repeatedly tells us that he’s always here for us whenever we need to talk

tw// self harm

he’s talked about how harming yourself is not the way to go, because it might be disadvantageous in the future

tw// anxiety

he’s talked about his own experiences with anxiety, which very few idols do. these things are not talked about in the industry but he’s not afraid to talk about them, and provide support to everyone going through it

12 - he supports lgbt. he talked about how it’s important to express yourself to the world because not everyone is going to shun you away. he said this in his vlive on the first week of june (pride month)

13 - neither the member nor stays know where we would be without chris bang. that should be enough to tell you how important he is to all of us

14 - he’s just... so genuine and it hurts me when people can’t see that https://twitter.com/Real_StrayKids/status/1155589364447158272">https://twitter.com/Real_Stra...
