Stray Kids' Bang Chan shares blood donation photo ahead of August comeback with 'THIS & THAT'

Stray Kids leader Bang Chan shared a blood donation certification photo this week, captioning it "one of the reasons I exercise" to explain why he donates regularly. The photo was taken in Australia last year.

The timing is sharp. Stray Kids head into one of the busiest stretches of their career. The 8-member JYP Entertainment group, which debuted in 2018, releases new mini album THIS & THAT on August 7. The RUN IT world tour runs from July through March next year. Through it, the group becomes the first overseas male artist to perform a solo show at Tokyo National Stadium.

The numbers stack up fast. ATE, the 2024 mini album, spent 100 weeks on the Billboard World Albums chart. First K-pop 4th-generation boy group to do that. Only the fourth K-pop act ever. Last year, Stray Kids became the first act in Billboard 200 history to enter the chart at number 1 with eight consecutive albums. The group has now hit 1 billion Spotify streams six times total, including with ATE.

(Bang Chan crediting his workout routine for blood donations is very on-brand for someone who runs a weekly live stream from a gym.) THIS & THAT drops August 7.
