Bangchan & Felix

3556 votes received

ChanLix is the fan-shipped friendship pairing between Stray Kids' Bang Chan (Christopher Bang) and Lee Felix, two Australian-raised members of the group who share a bond forged partly by growing up outside of Korea. Both navigated the challenges of training in a country where they weren't native Korean speakers, and this shared experience gave them an early emotional foundation. Bang Chan, as Stray Kids' leader, was a supportive older figure for Felix from the beginning. Felix has said he never really felt homesick because of Bang Chan, and both have publicly described crying together during difficult periods: Felix supporting Bang Chan during his hardest leadership moments, Bang Chan being a steady presence for Felix in return. Bang Chan describes their relationship as feeling like actual brothers. The ChanLix ship is popular among STAYs (Stray Kids fans) for its authenticity and the volume of documented moments: from Bang Chan giving Felix a warming hug on a red carpet at SBS's 2022 Gayo Daejeon without either of them making it a big deal, to Felix unconsciously adopting one of Bang Chan's poses (and Bang Chan discovering he had a pose habit he wasn't aware of). Their dynamic is described by fans as 'chaotic and iconic.'
