BIOGRAPHY
Christopher Bang moved to Sydney as a child and grew up immersed in Australian youth culture before relocating to Seoul at 16 to train at JYP Entertainment. As Stray Kids' leader and de facto executive producer, he leads the 3RACHA production trio and holds writing or production credits on the majority of the group's discography. His weekly 'Chan's Room' livestream — in which he speaks to global fans in English, Korean, and sometimes Spanish — has run for years and become one of K-pop's most sustained direct fan connections.
Music production — he produces constantly outside of group schedules — gym and fitness training, and a broad love of English-language film and pop culture.
