Stray Kids, often abbreviated as SKZ, enjoyed international fame well before the official start to their career. Signed under JYP Entertainment, one of the ‘Big Three’ entertainment agencies in South Korea home to fan-favourite past and present acts such as Wonder Girls, 2PM, Miss A, Twice and Itzy, the group members had to compete for a spot in the final debut line-up on the 2017 reality show ‘Stray Kids’ as trainees. The following year saw the debut of members Bang Chan (leader), Changbin, Hyunjin, Felix, Seungmin, Lee Know, Han, I.N and Woojin, who departed from the group in 2019.
