In a recent Chan’s Room live broadcast, Stray Kids’ Bang Chan openly shared his concerns about a generational shift in manners, specifically focusing on the importance of greetings and basic respect.
Reflecting on his experiences, including a recent trip to Paris for a Music Bank show, Bang Chan admitted feeling disheartened by the lack of greetings from some people he interacted with.
He expressed,
“I feel like it’s come to the point where greeting someone is not considered as basic manners,” highlighting the differences in expectations between older and younger generations.
He noted that when he greeted others, some didn’t return the gesture, which made him question if he was overthinking the issue.
Despite the possibility that he might be “overexaggerating,” Bang Chan emphasized that he would continue to greet people with respect, sharing,
“Whoever it is, I’m going to say hi the best I can because I am here to have fun and greet people I like and respect.”
Fans appreciated Bang Chan’s honesty, with many agreeing that his perspective was valid, and reassured him not to feel guilty about his concerns.
He also acknowledged that some might not return greetings due to shyness or a lack of connection, ensuring his comments were balanced and thoughtful.
