(Video) Stray Kids' Bang Chan Goes Viral For Kind Gesture Towards Disabled Fans
Over the weekend, the group performed in Toronto, Canada, as part of their ongoing 'dominATE' world tour. During the performance, Bang Chan went into the crowd to greet fans in the audience. However, the idol received praise after clips showed how he prioritised disabled fans. In one TikTok video, the idol stopped to interact with a fan in a wheelchair, chatting with her and her group of friends.
The 27-year-old then moved towards another section of the venue to greet other fans who were also in wheelchairs. It's believed that Bang Chan purposely approached the venue's accessibility zone to greet fans in the area. The clip also showed him taking more time to speak with fans with limited movement. The TikTok video has since gone viral and was reshared on other social media platforms.
Bang Chan received praise for his actions and attitude towards his fans. In the comments, fans commended the Stray Kids leader for his thoughtfulness and respectful behaviour. Others also called the interactions a showcase of Bang Chan's genuine love for his fans. At the same time, some netizens also thanked fans for not mobbing the idol when he walked around the venue.
Interestingly, this news comes after the rapper went viral for showing concern to fans during a chaotic concert in Washington. For context, several fans at Stray Kids' recent show in Washington suffered from heat exhaustion caused by the heatwave and dehydration. Taking note of this issue, Bang Chan reportedly paid for drinking water to be distributed to fans in the concert hall to ensure their health and safety.
Kudos to Bang Chan for showing love and respect to all his fans. Stray Kids will continue their world tour later this month with the European leg, so maybe we'll see more heartwarming moments. In the meantime, check out the clip of Bang Chan below:

#NSTviral: Paratrooper's surprise landing at Tawau kindergarten sports day charms Malaysians [WATCH]
KUALA LUMPUR: A Royal Malaysian Navy sailor became an unexpected highlight at a kindergarten sports day after his parachute landing went off course and brought him down onto a hockey field filled with excited children and parents. The moment was captured in a TikTok video posted by user @zaynizz90, showing the lone parachutist drifting into view and landing relatively smoothly on the field. The caption read: "While attending my child's Sports Day at Little Caliphs, a Navy sailor unexpectedly landed on the hockey field after a parachute jump went off course. Still, well done to the sailor. "It definitely made the kids' day!" The sailor, identified by his arm badge as a member of the Royal Malaysian Navy's elite Special Warfare Forces (Paskal) unit, was believed to have been part of an inter-service and inter-agency parachuting demonstration during the Civil-Military Cooperation (CIMIC) Carnival 2025, which took place in Tawau on June 28 and 29. Netizens flooded the video's comment section with amused and heart-warming reactions to the now-viral clip. "Oh, I thought when I saw it on my friend's WhatsApp Story, it was just a gimmick for her child's sports day closing ceremony. In my head, I was like, 'wow, how nice of the kindergarten to do a sports gimmick like this,'" Neena wrote. "That Navy guy became instantly famous. All the attention was on him," Reyna_amir wrote. Ameliasofea23 said: "Surely lots of people wanted to take pictures with him, haha." For some, the moment held deeper meaning. Mamadikabg wrote: "What a blessing for that child to witness a parachutist up close." "Sometimes it's 'accidents' like this that spark a child's dream of becoming a soldier," wrote AJZ_85.

Big things soon as all of BTS returns
Long-awaited comeback: BTS' upcoming album would be their first in four years since 'Proof', South Korea's best-selling record in 2022. — AP BTS agency HYBE confirmed that the K-pop megastars would release a new album and go on a 'large-scale world tour' in 2026, with the group's livestream announcement of their return attracting over seven million views. The seven-member group had been on a self-described hiatus since 2022 while they undertook their mandatory military service – required of all men under 30 in South Korea due to tensions with the nuclear-armed North. Now discharged from service, the septet 'will travel to the United States in July to begin preparations for the new album and tour all together', HYBE said in a statement yesterday. BTS announced their official comeback during a live broadcast on Tuesday, the first livestream with all seven members in nearly three years. The livestream attracted more than 7.3 million real-time views, according to the agency. Group leader RM, whose real name is Kim Nam-joon, said during the livestream that the new album 'is officially set to be released next spring'. 'Starting next spring, we'll of course be going on tour, so please look forward to seeing us all around the globe,' he added. Their comeback album would be their first in four years since Proof, which was the best-selling album of 2022 in South Korea, with nearly 3.5 million copies sold. Before their military service, BTS generated more than 5.5 trillion won (RM17bil) in yearly economic impact, according to the Korea Culture and Tourism Institute. That accounts for roughly 0.2% of South Korea's total GDP, according to official data. BTS is the 'bedrock of South Korea's soft power,' Kim Yang-hee, an economics professor at Daegu University, said. 'South Korea's soft power is being led by the private sector, best exemplified by the success of BTS and Squid Game, but it needs the support of public sector for democratic values such as freedom of expression,' Kim said. Last year's political upheaval spurred by a martial law declaration 'dealt a blow to such values', she added. BTS, known for backing progressive causes, holds the record as the most-streamed group on Spotify, and became the first K-pop act to top both the Billboard 200 and the Billboard Artist 100 charts in the United States. There had been debate over whether BTS should be granted exemptions from military service – sometimes granted to Olympic medallists and classical artists who win top international awards – but pop stars do not qualify under South Korean laws. With the lack of public consensus on the matter, the members enlisted individually, beginning in late 2022. — AFP
