There are very few things Stray Kids‘ Bang Chan can’t do – actually, we’re convinced he can do it all! Bang Chan has talent even in his fingertips, and the way he expresses it is what mesmerizes us every single time. From vocalist to producer, Bang Chan fills absolutely every case for an idol, and even breaks the boundaries and sets the bar higher by redefining what an all-rounder really is. Here’s how he does it!
Vocalist
The first thing to know about Bang Chan is that his voice has the power to make an entire song special, unique, and filled with color and power. His voice is perfect for pop music, but it also possesses that distinctive tone that makes it instantly recognizable everywhere. The emotions he transmits through every word make each song hit harder. Songs like ‘Mess’ or even his solo song ‘i hate to admit‘ are true proof of all the emotions he conveys with his voice, his versatility as a vocalist, and the way he makes every song sound exactly like Stray Kids. His range is amazing, his tone is addictive, and his vocals are simply too good.
Rapper
Bang Chan occupies just about every role there can be in Stray Kids, and his incredible vocals have never stopped him from also being a rapper. This is a skill that you can especially see in the 3RACHA discography, but it has continued here and there all throughout Stray Kids‘ discography – and every time we get a new Bang Chan rap, you know it’s going to change your brain chemistry! Whether it’s in English, in Korean, or the most witty showcase of bilingualism, Bang Chan always delivers some of the most iconic lines in 3RACHA songs.
Songs like ‘Maze Of Memories‘ are proof of not only the amount of aura he adds to songs with his raps, but also the genius he delivers with his lyrics and the rhythms and flows he plays with. And don’t even get us started with his “lazy” raps like in ‘The Tortoise and the Hare!’ One thing about Bang Chan is that his versatility will translate into everything he does – and rap is a big one.
Dancing
It is general knowledge that out of the Stray Kids members, Bang Chan was the one who trained the longest – for seven years, to be exact. It may be a given that he would excel at dancing, but Bang Chan‘s skills go way beyond that. Bang Chan has the skills to embody a song with his entire being, with the energy and passion he gives to every song, and the precision in all his moves. Bang Chan was the top trainee for a long time, and for a reason, which has also translated into his years as a member of Stray Kids. He has never stopped growing and surprising us!
Stage Presence
Jaw-dropping vocals, addictive raps, and incredible dance moves will give you the performer of a lifetime. It is addictive to watch Chan perform: he is more than a mesmerizing performer, leading the stage with such natural charisma. ‘Victory Song‘ (especially the MAMA 2020 version) and ‘MIROH‘ are only two of the songs that prove just how much he leads Stray Kids even on the stage. ‘CEREMONY‘ is a perfect example of his infectious stage presence and the way he simply commands performances. Every time he steps on a stage, you know that’s exactly where he belongs!
Songwriting And Producing
What truly sets Bang Chan apart from most other idols is his creativity. As one-third of 3RACHA, Bang Chan’s input into Stray Kids’ discography is so immense that it is hard to contain in simple words. Setting himself as one of the top three idols with the most credits in KOMCA, Bang Chan has had his hand in nearly the entire discography of Stray Kids, whether it’s as a songwriter, a composer, a producer, or all three at the same time! Stray Kids wouldn’t be Stray Kids if it weren’t for Bang Chan, not just because he put the members together, but also because he shaped their sound, their message, and everything Stray Kids stands for.
It shines through many of the songs he has done alongside 3RACHA, but his creativity and soul also shine in songs like ‘Gone Days‘ or ‘Youtiful‘ where he is the sole songwriter. His solo songs like ‘Railway‘ bleed with exceptional artistry, and simultaneously, he’s able to create songs that fit perfectly every single member in Stray Kids. His range in terms of his art is incredible, spanning songs like ‘ESCAPE‘ to ‘0801.’ Bang Chan’s art and mastermind talent just cannot be stopped, and every new piece he gives us is another reason why he’s one of a kind in this industry.
