// kwj
stray kids started out as nine members but stays ask that you do not associate the last, as he left in 2019. the kids do not associate with him, and have not for over a year. he is no longer apart of the group. stray kids and stays do not support or condone his actions in any way.

things to not joke about or do
tw / pedophilia, homophobia etc
dont use jokes about ot7, disbandment, 5kz mental health, kwj, minlix eliminations, 42, or chan "babygirl/daddy" moment, (antis twisted into pedophilia). dont meme photos of them crying. dont degrade them (esp to 1/2 ship). there are things skz joke about with each other that u should not, as you dont know them personally.

(ADMIN) LAST UPDATE 210815
hey (hopefully) future stays! you obviously aren't required stan but it would be great if you were able to find at least some of what you were looking for with the kids and with this carrd. if you do stan, welcome to stayville! it's a mess but we are truly here to support skz at the end of the day.

questions, errors, etc.

ABOUT

    Stray Kids (스트레이 키즈) is an 8 member group under JYP entertainment. They were created during a 2017 survival show where their leader, Bang Chan, hand picked each member to endure J.Y.P's testings. He came up with the name, which has many interpretations but ultimately shows their determination to break free. Stray Kids are known for their self-produced discography and wide genre range.
