Stray Kids’ Bang Chan and BTS' RM's fans hope the two leaders collaborate in the future

Stray Kids’ Bang Chan and BTS' RM aren't only talented musicians, rappers, and songwriters but also incredible leaders of their respective groups - Stray Kids and BTS. The Red Lights singer has always been vocal about his love and respect for the Indigo singer and cited him as an inspiration on multiple occasions.

In a 2020 episode of Chan's Room, his special show where he interacts with fans, Stray Kids’ Bang Chan revealed that BTS' RM is one of the best leaders and one of his biggest musical inspirations as well.

“RM sunbaenim—he’s known to be one of the best leaders. I’d like to put him as one of my biggest role models as well. I think he’s just one of the most coolest guys out there. He’s really smart as well! I may not be, but HE is one of the best leaders out there. So please, put that in mind!”

This isn't the first time the Don Quixote singer has lavished praise on RM's songs. Previously, he praised RM's second mixtape Mono and recommended that everyone listen to it. Additionally, he revealed that the b-side track Seoul is his favorite track from the mixtape.

After a long time, he is back with another song recommendation, and fans couldn't be happier about it. Furthermore, STAYARMYs hopes Stray Kids’ Bang Chan and BTS' RM can one day collaborate.

Notably, Stray Kids’ Bang Chan's fans are happy he is back to his interactive mode after previously revealing that he will no longer host Chan's Room, his popular interactive broadcast with STAYs.

Stray Kids’ Bang Chan revealed that he won't be able to host the interactive sessions with fans due to his busy schedule. STAYs believe this is a restriction imposed on him as a result of his comments about the generational difference between K-pop idols and greeting etiquette. However, Bang Chan has confirmed that this was his decision alone.

Fans are therefore, happy that Stray Kids’ Bang Chan is back to interacting with fans, at least via Bubble. Many hold on to the hope that he will bring back interesting chat sessions via Chan's Room soon.
