Christopher Bang

April 11 marked 13 years since the Australian singer Christopher Bang, known as Bang Chan, started his journey and career in the music industry. In 2011, at the age of 13, Bang left everything behind in Australia and traveled to South Korea to pursue his dream of becoming a singer.

He debuted seven years later, on March 25, 2018, as a singer and leader of the globally acclaimed boy band Stray Kids, alongside eight other members: Changbin, Han, Lee Know, Felix, Seungmin, I.N, and Woojin, who left the group after a year. Bang Chan fans celebrated his 13-year journey from outset to global recognition and initiated the worldwide trending phrase “FOR ETERNITY WITH BANG CHAN” and the hashtag “#13YearsWithBangChan” on social media platforms. @Mon0ton wrote on X: “Our dearest Channie, we are so proud of you and the person you’ve become. Thank you so much for reminding me of what a warm hug and home feels like, and thank you for making me stay.” @Spicydri posted: “13 years ago this cute guy gave up his youth training non stop to become what he is today, so proud of you Channie, you deserve all of it and more.”
