Recently, Stray Kids’ Bangchan went viral online for his response to netizens who criticized his somewhat cringey way of talking.

In a Bubble message, he used a “cute” tone, using words like “twied,” and garnered attention online.

Not long after, he returned to Bubble after allegedly reading about the criticism.

He called them out, asking them how he was supposed to act.

He added that whatever they do affects him, and whatever he does affects the fans, and asked them not to engage in feuds.

However, fans expressed divided reactions, with some defending him and others thinking the whole situation to be cringe.
