Stray Kids’ Bang Chan Addresses Racial Discrimination Situation at Met Gala

The public has been outraged and the incident of Stray Kids facing racial discrimination and offensive comments at the 2024 Met Gala has garnered significant attention.

Despite facing public racial discrimination, the actions of Stray Kids members, particularly their leader Bang Chan, were highly praised.

In the footage of the incident, it is evident that Bang Chan remained exceptionally composed and did not engage in any confrontational behavior despite being disrespected by photographers at the Met Gala. As soon as their red carpet appearance was over, Bang Chan promptly signaled for his group members to leave, avoiding any potential negativity that could impact their mood. The mature and tactful response of the 1997-born male idol has been praised by audiences as a true display of a “mature adult.”

It should be noted that Bang Chan is proficient in English and therefore comprehended all the offensive remarks from the reporters. Despite this, he remained composed and composed.

Despite being the first K-pop group to attend the Met Gala, Stray Kids’ outfits received criticism for being too safe for the event, according to Nate. While their visuals garnered attention, they failed to make a bold fashion statement at the highly anticipated event.

Despite Stray Kids’ success, many Asian artists have encountered racial discrimination at the Met Gala in the past. Last year, this was also the case for two prominent Cbiz stars, Cai Xukun and Jackson Wang (GOT7).

At that time, Vogue shared a video about Cai Xukun on its official Instagram account, which boasts a following of almost 45 million devoted readers. However, they mistakenly tagged Jackson’s personal account in the post, causing uproar and anger among the public.
