“We heard the news a few moments ago and are like, ‘Is this real? Is this actually happening?’ We were really surprised too,” said Stray Kids’ leader Bang Chan.

“I don’t know if we deserve it, but it’s a really big gift that Stays (the name of Stray Kids’ official fandom) gave us. It makes us want to try harder. It’s a really good start for 2022, so a really big thank you to Stays,” he added.
