Kudos to Stray Kids for this incredible accomplishment!
Stray Kids recently discussed their collaboration with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman on the music video for “Chk Chk Boom.”The group revealed that they initiated the collaboration and were ecstatic to have the opportunity to work alongside the two stars. They also expressed their admiration for being able to share the same space with such renowned actors.
“During our time in the U.S. for other purposes, we formed a connection with them and we are thankful for it,”expressed Stray Kids. “Even when we see ourselves side by side on screen, it’s difficult to comprehend that we are physically present in the same location. It almost feels computer-generated.”
