"I love you guys really so much, i appreciate your hard work and everything you do your efforts and your support through yr songs and lyrics it’s amazing how you guys write exactly what I’m feeling in a beautiful song, and how your music and songs just makes you feel the same feeling it was written for without ever experiencing such things but still the feelings are delivered, your laughter your weirdness is addictive and heart warming and relatable, I hope you guys take your time , you are successful, and you are talented , take a break a bit to enjoy just normal things.., and when you feel like you got good rest and you are well emotionally and physically , come back and we are always here STAYS won’t ever leave you, you are stuck w us and we are stuck w you, will always love you, and try our best to be as good to you as you are to us , eat well, don’t go on diets , drink a lot of water, none is perfect. You are enough you are as perfect as a human can be , go easy on yourself, Love from Saudi STAY's" - By Sarah

"Dear Stray Kids, thank you so much for showing up on For You page on Tiktok. I don't know how I would cope without you in my life. I hope you're taking care of yourselves, I hope that you are not working yourselves to exhaustion. I appreciate your work and I look up to you all so much. I love the bond and friendship amongst the members and I hope that you all continue to support and love each other. Watching your live videos even though I don't understand anything became very soothing to me, watching SKZ Vlog became a hobby that I love, watching SKZ mvs on weekends became something I always look forward to and studying while listening to Topline and Super Bowl actually helps me concentrate better. Know that STAY will always be behind you through it all. Know that STAY will also protect you as best as we can the same way you said you will protect us. Know that you hold the heart of all STAYS. Know that STAY are always proud of you all. STRAY KIDS EVERYWHERE ALL AROUND THE WORLD YOU MAKE STRAY KIDS STAY.❤️🖤❤️"

"I'd like to thank each member for not giving up for staying so strong and making us so happy even when they themselves are at their lowest. I'd like to thank them for always being our source of comfort even if we can't do much for them but I'm really grateful for them I have started being a stay only at gods menu era but my life has changed so much since then you guys helped me learn English without any help,you were my only friends and you were so relatable that I couldn't help but get attached to you guys. And it was the best choice of my life I learned a lot about mental health and you opened my eyes towards many topics that were kept as taboos in our culture as an Arabic so from the bottom of my heart thank you guys so much"

"Dear Straykids, I don't wanna make this sound sad so here i write about the happiness you have given me, about the smiles you have brought on my face, about the laughter my walls have heard because of you, about the days you gave me company while eating my food, about the times I was bored to death and you were there by my side. Although i haven't been with you since the debut, it's has been considerable amount of time (2 years and counting) that you guys have found me. I fill up my walls and heart with your photos because it feels like a hot cup of cocoa on a cold winter day. Thank you for being by our side. I really pray to all the gods old and new that you find the happiness as we have found ours in you❤️."

"Stray Kids, There are no words that can be spoken to express my gratitude and love for you all. You found me during my darkest hour. I would not be here today if you were not here.

"When I became homeless in the beginning of 2022 my sister introduced me to stray kids. We were 9 people living in a tiny hotel room and most of the nights where I couldn't sleep I would just watch you guys. During that time you guys were, and still are, the things that make me get out of bed in the morning. You guys always make STAY happy and no matter how many times we say we love you. We always want to give you something more, because for some of us you are our rescuers. You saved STAY. I love you guys so so much and I will support you all to my last breath.❤️"

"Heyyy Straykids👋👋

I know your journey from the beginning until now wasn't always easy. But together with the members you've ended up where you are today. You should be really proud of yourselves! You've saved so many stays lifes and made our days matter.

We are very grateful that we've got to live at the same time as you guys. I want you to know that no matter what happens stays will always be there for you.

I wish that you'll always be happy in what you're doing and that you love yourselves. Please never change just because others tell you to. You are perfect the way you are!!

-A stay from Switzerland :)"

"Our dear boys, we appreciate everything you have done for us. All 8 of you are amazing and wonderful people that deserve the world. You are so hard working and dedicated in what you do! It's incredible! We just want to see you happy, to see you smile! That's what we want from you! To be happy and healthy. Please take care of yourself. -from Greece❤️"

"dear Stray Kids. I wasn't at my lowest when I found you as things was getting worse I was happy to have you when it was hard in school I just turned on your music and was studying with it. You guys helped me and a lot of other stays too. If you smile stays smile we will love you no matter what. You guys are so talented. You are safe place for many people. Maybe I can't express how much you mean to me I just really love you❤️"

"Hi Kids!! ^o^

I don't have a long fancy paragraph of flowery words to say because I'm not that poetic, but I don't think that even most poetic vocabulary in the world could express what a light you all have been in my life. Only a few things in my life are as valuable as all of the happiness and laughter you've brought me over the past few years. I'll continue to pray n manifest that you all hold each other up and continue being a safe space, not only for STAY, but for one another especially in times that are a bit sadder. I LOVE YOU ALL SM!! STRAY KIDS MAKE ME STAY❤️❤️

-kada <3"

"I just can't imagine what my life would be like without them. They saved my life and they are my reason to live. I'd never thought that someone could be this important to me. I love them so much and I'll never stop loving them. Even if every reason for staying seems to be gone, they always remind me to keep going and living my life the way I want. I just love them unconditionally."

"Dear Stray Kids, You play a HUGE part in my life. You help me when I'm feeling down and I thank you for that💙 You are the reason I'm still going to this day! I've been going through some hard ship with family, and you guys are making it easier. Your the reason why I'm still happy and going out to be me.

Stray Kids you are the light of my world, you never seem to disappoint when I see you post it make me smile knowing you're making the most of your life's.

"dear skz, you have no idea how much brighter you have made my life by being in it. Being a software engineer doing the same hardwork everyday you are my comfort, and home when I come home. You inspire me a lot to pursue my dreams and keep working hard. The positivity I felt after Stanning skz is like hanging out with friends who are of same age (I'm 22) who have goals and are uplifting each other had a very crucial impact on my career. Your passion and dedication gives me strength. I never had to get involved with any toxic friends because I had you to hangout or see you in sns. Felt like I'm growing up with you all. I'm not very good with words so please bear with me and understand. You have made me feel seen and I relate to you all so much I no more feel like need to fit in.

"Stray Kids, there is so much so could say, so much I could try to say, but it would never really cover everything I feel. So instead, I'll say I love you all to the point of no return. Thank you for holding my hand without knowing it. Thank you for being my stitches, you have kept my heart whole ~XO~"

"Dear Stray Kids, I can't say that I was at my lowest when you found me, but life had definitely started to lose its sparkle. There was nothing to look forward to; everything just felt gloomy and gray. That was until I found Stray Kids, or, I guess, in that moment, you found me. Suddenly, color seemed to return to my life. You simply radiate joy and passion. You brighten STAY's world with all that you do. Thank you for all of your hard work. Thank you for sharing your talents and passion. We appreciate how much you take care of STAY, and we appreciate it even more when you take care of yourselves. We are so proud of all you've accomplished and we'll support you no matter what. We love you!"

"To the people who came into my life when I was rejecting everyone, I chose you to be my home, my safe haven. At a time when I was tired and lost faith in everyone, I believed in you and brought you into my heart. I came to you to become part of this FAMILY

Everyone now sees you inside of me, hears your echo in my voice, sees your shadows when I walk, and tells me that I have become wonderful with your love.

The only one in my life, I chose you of my own free will. I chose you, and I am absolutely certain that I chose the best. Thank you to all the members. I learned a lot from you, and the most wonderful thing I learned is eternal love, to give everyone love so that life gives you a better feeling I learned from Chan that love works miracles and working with everyone is the real success

I learned from Lino that happiness can sometimes be in hugging animals, although I fear him very much. I learned that attention lies in the smallest details.

I learned from Changbin that sharing strength while protecting the ones I love is great. I learned to stand firm for the people behind me.I learned from Hyunjin that art is the foundation of creativity

I learned from Han that friendship is the best relationship

From Felix, I learned that kisses, hugs, gifts, and sweet talk are healing

I learned from Sungmin that hard work and perseverance is what you want

I learned from IN to do everything I can in a good and classy way to earn what I want."

"Hey stray kids! I've always looked for a safe place to hide and reflect on who I am and what I want to become. in you I found that place that I needed more than I thought, a place where I can laugh and cry. dancing and singing have always been a hobby for me and it is thanks to your passion and your songs that I have realized their true importance. thank you for keeping me safe, thank you for teaching me who I am, and thank you for always being by my side. you are one of the dearest things I have and I will never get tired of being close to you even if you don't know it. I want to give you back the love and warmth that you have been able to give me hoping that one day I can meet you. you are my second family, i love you."

"Thank you stray kids for always being there for stay. You helped me and so much others find themselves and give us a place where we feel save. You saved so much lives and make so many people happy all around the world. I wish all stays and Stray Kids the best, thank you stray kids for always being there for us."

"I have very little friends, am not social at all but Stray Kids made me feel like I had friends, in general happy feelings making me laught when I was depressive and I really appreciate them as individuals who make the world a better and brighter place. Thank you a lot."

"Dear Stray Kids.

hi my name is Brooke and I've been through three major surgeries two years ago. July 1st 2021 I had three major surgeries, tracheal reconstruction, aortic patch and diaphragm placation. I was in a coma for 10/12 weeks in the hospital, and three months in all. Once I gained consciousness I had to relearn everything from walking to even smiling. I could not smile properly for a quarter of a year my first proper smile was because of you. Your 8 days of light somehow turned my recovery struggle to not wanting to give up. One year later July 1st 2022 I saw you preform. I cried for hours straight because I thought I would not have made it past last year. Thank you Bangchan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N. You have changed my life for the better both physically and mentally. I love you.

Love, Brooke"

"Dear Stray Kids, Thank you so much for all you do for us. You work so hard, & I am so grateful for you & your work. You help me face each day. I put your music in my ear before I leave bed each morning. I'm not sure I could manage getting up without starting your music first. I'm a 53 year-old philosophy professor, but you make me feel like I'm thirteen in line to see Elvis. Please know your work is not frivolous. You help so many people, including me, every day. Bang Chan, I hope you listen to the band, The Feelies sometime, and Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros. These are old, old groups, but I imagine you would enjoy them. Felix, you are the light of the world. Your song is from Starland Vocal Band of that name, The Light of the World. The chorus just repeats: how beautiful you are. I always love your song suggestions, and wanted to send you the song I always hear in my mind when I see you. You all mean everything to me, and I'm just so grateful to have you in my life. You have brought joy back into my life and helped everything become more tolerable. So, so grateful. Your fan in Florida, Rebecca Davis"

"Dear Stray Kids, It hasn't been long since I found you, but no words can express how much I've grown to love and adore you guys. I was in such a bad place but now even thinking about you guys makes the negative thoughts in my head go away. You kids are my safe place, you are my home. You guys have achieved so much and I can't wait to see you go even higher. I will forever be so proud of you. Thank you for always working hard to make us the best music. Never forget that you are impacting many lives in a positive way. And I know it's not just me, you have saved so many lives out there so thank you for always being there for us and caring about us. And I want you to know that we also care so much about you and always hope that you are all happy and healthy, please take care of yourselves well. Thank you for saving me. Thank you for all the happy moments that you have given me. Thank you Chan, thank you Felix, thank you Hannie, thank you Binnie, thank you Jeongin, thank you Hyunjin, thank you Seungmin, thank you Minho. I love you all so very much❤️❤️"

"Hi Stray kids!!! I am a stay from Argentina!!! I met you two years ago, with the album "NO EASY". When I saw Thunderous's mv, I couldn't believe the energy you guys have, then finding out more about Skz, I noticed that your smiles made me smile without realizing it, and now, you're the only ones that can do it. But before I met you, I was a depressed girl, who didn't feel alive, but you saved me from that. When I see funny moments, regardless of whether I saw them or not, I can't help but laugh.Sometimes I imagine that it would have been me without you, and I only imagine a sad girl. I just want you to know that I am very proud of you, that her effort is worth it, and that my biggest dream is to meet you, although you probably won't come to Argentina... I LOVE YOU STRAY KIDS💞 THANKS FOR EVERYTHING💓🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷"

"Dear Stray Kids,

I've been a stay for a little bit over a year now and I've never been happier. You make me laugh, cry, smile and most importantly you make me proud! Your music means so much to me and has helped me through hard times and for that I'm very grateful. I might not have been with you since the beginning, but one thing I know is I'll stay until the end. Words can't describe how much I love you, so I'll just keep supporting you to show my love and eternal gratitude <3 You make life worth living! Stay safe, happy and healthy please!

To many more years of being a stay!

Love,

Monika ♡"

"Dear Stray Kids!

I got to know the group when YouTube dropped a video of Bang Chan, and then I listened to Thunderous. I still remember that time when Maniac came out and I watched the MV. It was an amazing expecience and that was when you became my favorite group. Chan, thank you for helping with your words, and thank you for teaching me to love myself who I am. You're amazing as you are! You are the best leader I've seen.💛 Lee Know, thank you for reminding us to eat, and for the kindness you spread. Your dancing is perfect.💛 Changbin, thank you for making me feel confident. I really love your voice, and you're a great songwriter.💛 Hyunjin, thank you for making me smile and laugh, even when I was at my worst. I really love your art and you're truly amusing.💛 Jisung, thank you for making me laugh. Thank you for giving me energy. You're an ace, and a legend.💛 Felix, thank you for making me smile. When I see you smile. I can't stop adoring you. You're doing amazing!💛 Seungmin, thank you for inspiring me to sing more. Thank you for making me laugh.

"Dear SKZ, You 8 waltzed into my life when I least expected it and needed it. Which was interesting, refreshing and I will be forever grateful. To Chan: that virtual hug has pulled me out of my funks countless times. For that alone, you will always be Best Leader. To Minho: your personality has made me understand that I can be myself unapologetically. To Hyunjin: man, you are a mood. Never change. You make me chuckle all the time. And your dancing? A thing of beauty! To ChangBin: your principles are a guiding star. Your charm is undeniable. Always be that way. To Jisung: your courage and transparency about your struggles make me continue to move forward. If Han can do it, so can I. Humbling. To Felix: you are the brightest soul. And you shine the way. To Seungmin: your voice is a balm. Your sense of humor and intelligence are commendable. You are amazing! To IN: such a self assured person. I admire your smile, and your ability to make us happy. You've grown immensely and will always be the Maknae on Top. My tribute to you, language isn't enough, is a heartfelt Thank You! It feels small compared to all that you give. You all are the best!!❤️"

"Stray Kids, I want to say thank you for all that you have done for Stay since your pre-debut. You've fought, worked, cried, suffered... But you also laughed, you've had happy and funny moments, you've taken care of Stay and we're very thankful for that. You eight are amazing: Chan, you're a great leader and you are perfect. Minho, you're not mean or cold, you're very caring and funny. Changbin, you're not fat or a pig, you're the aegyo king and you're a visual, you know it. Hyunjin, don't listen to haters, be friends with whoever you want and you're perfect as you are, you know you're handsome. Jisung, you're a great rapper and vocalist, and you're VERY cute with the quokka cheeks. Felix, you're beautiful and I don't want you to doubt of your skills or to be insecure about your body or face. Because you're handsome, cute and have a great body and very cute freckles. Seungmin, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, let your smile show, it's one of the most beautiful things in the world. Jeongin, the only maknae on top... I love you and your vocals and your way of being. You guys gave me life and healed many things you didn't break. You guys are my home, and thank you for fighting for making this family of Stays. You all eight are all-rounder and you're the biggest and best group of your generation. Just take care of yourself and if you need rest anytime, take it, Stay will always wait for you and love you. Don't listen to haters, they are just jealous. Please take care and eat well"

"To Straykids,

The simplest thing I can say to you is, Thank You. Your music is so amazing that it crosses language and culture. Your kindness, genuine attitudes and positivity are a breath of fresh air in a very harsh world. I am a better person because I am Stay. Each of you are important to the group and to who I love as Straykids. I hope you know that you each are cared for and truly appreciated for what you give to your members and fans. I look forward to many more years of all that StrayKids has to offer. With love, Tabby"

"Dear Stray Kids, With this i have to express my gratitude towards you! In all my years stanning you and following you I can just say I found you at the right time or more likely you debuted in the right time. I found you in a deep phase of my life where I hit rock bottom and didn't think I can get out. You helped me overcome these times, you helped me realize that life is so much more, and that even in dark days there will always follow good ones.

Thank you for all the songs you have created, which get us through the day and life. You are our safe place! Eight is fate!!

8 = ♾️

All you 8 have ur special ways and traits which we love and adore! You all are soo perfect just the way you are! And I wish that no one of you should ever have a Problem again in your career! I wish you all the best and I hope that you all are happy forever! Thank you Stray Kids for being you, for being there for us, for being our safe place! I hope we stays can give you the exact same feeling and safe place back! May all of you be blessed forever.

No matter what happens we are with you! Stray Kids World Domination! Stray Kids everywhere all around the world!!

Love you all Forever! BIG HUG by your Loving German Stay🤍🤍

Your Raascha, 라샤 🤍"

"First of all; thank you, Stray Kids. All of you. Thank you Bangchan for being a comfort space for all Stays. Thank you for always being there for us, thank you for taking time from your busy schedule just to talk to us. But most importantly, thank you for giving us Stray Kids. Truly, we can never thank you enough, just know that we love and support you, always. Lee Know, thank you for putting a smile on our faces every time. Thank you for being yourself, thank you for being a comfort zone to many including me. Changbin, thank you for always making us laugh, thank you for the energy that makes our day. Hyunjin, thank you for Everything. Just, everything. Thank you for coming back to us, thank you for never giving up on us. And something else, thank you for proving again and again that it's not just your visuals that are important, but your many talents too. Jisung, thank you for being an inspiration for people. Thank you for always wanting to do your best at concerts. And please know that you're magnificent. Felix, thank you for lighting up every room you're in. Thank you for always smiling so big and bright even when life is hard. I hope you never lose that. (ps, we LOVE your freckles.) Seungmin, thank you for always making us laugh, and always being our "calm ocean". And I just have to say it, your smile is the prettiest thing ever. And thank you for always surprising us. And finally, I.N., thank you for always improving and always doing better. I know you sometimes think you weren't good enough in something, but I just have to tell you you are Magnificent. You always get better and better and you really are our Maknae On Top. You, all of you, just 8 boys I randomly discovered one day, have changed my life. You became more than just a boy group for us. You built a family, and you fed it with love every day. We know that some days it wasn't easy for you, some days you maybe wanted to quit, even. But you never left us. And you've done it, after all the hard work you became one Legendary Boy Band. You achieved so many things, but most importantly you fixed things you never broke in the first place. You changed lives, thank you... <3"

"To one of the main reasons I smile everyday: STRAY KIDS. Whenever I go thru some obstacles in live or celebrate my success your music and energy is beside me. Ever since I found about your existance I'm proud to call myself a STAY. It feels like yesterday. Another day of summer holidays, another day that I will stay at home, another day that I feel useless. Scrolling social media because that was only way to escape from emptiness I felt. But then I saw 8 shining smiles of 8 charismatic people. Your fooling around during 1st Maniac tour, your honest emotions and warmth was something that fascinated me. Discovering new thing about all 8 of you was something thrilling. Since then my heart is full and open to new experiences. You gave me courage. Motivation to keep going. Thanks to you I cherish every new friendship because you showed me the fun of staying around people. Your beautiful smiles come to my mind every minute of the day no matter if it's a good moment or miserable one. I appreciate you by every aspect of your existance. Your hard work, your creativity, your honesty, your warm hearts. Your faithful Stay form Poland. Izabela"

"HELLO STRAY KIDS! Gonna start this off by saying thank you. Thank you for making me find myself in your songs, in your videos, in your laughter, in your hardwork. Thank you for being you. Thank you for never failing to make me laugh out loud. I laugh out loud even thinking about you guys and thanks to you guys my parents think I'm crazy now. I could only go on and on about how I'm so thankful to you guys and how much you make me happy. Sure I get made fun of that I literally feel like YOU are my family but you taught me how to to laugh at their faces and point at them saying confidently "STRAY KIDS EVERYWHERE ALL AROUND THE WORLD @#$%^" I could talk about how you make me feel for hours but it's not about me is it. I wanna talk about how amazing you guys are and how hardworking and talented you are, but I tend to get worried sometimes. WORRIED ABOUT HOW MY STANDARDS FOR MEN IS HIGH AND THAT I WON'T FIND ANYONE EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE TO HOW YOU GUYS ARE!! like hey leave some girls for the rest of the guys,omg. But in all seriousness please don't overwork yourselves and you can take as much time as you want to. Just don't hurt yourself because that would hurt many others with you... I wanted to write separate messages for each member but let's be real you won't read all that. I wouldn't too if I were you. However to summarize everything I want to say, you are TOO TALENTED it is getting out of hand. You are also wayyy to good looking. Like why do you look like that and everyone I know looks like the were monkeys in their past lives. You are also talented at many aspects which leaves my SHOCKED. Like you guys are PERFECT. if I ever get to see you, you will have to teach me your ways of being literally perrrfect. I know you guys struggle alot but you don't show us to not make us worry but we know you can do it. We know you can fall into depression every now and then and I wish I could help you and listen to you but I know you can do it. We know this whole thing is very difficult but I know you can do it. Also, dont listen to haters they're just undisciplined insecure iPad kids. NEVER GIVE UP!! AND WE ARE SO0000 PROUD OF YOU GUYS!! AND WE LOVE YOUUU! Or lof you skz!!"

"Thank you so much Stray Kids for coming to my life in when it is at its worst moments and brightening it up. All 8 of you are a big part of my life and personality now and i love it. I am so grateful that you are here for all us Stays in all the good and bad"

"Stray Kids!!! Even though it's only been a year, you guys have drastically added so much love and light into it. Last year was a challenging one, and discovering you had not only opened me up to a whole other world of love and greatness, but you showed me that it's possible to be loved the way that I need from the people in my life and that the right people will do it happily. You've given me a safe place, a home, and friends!! There's no way I can ever express the gratitude I have for each and every one of you. Seeing how far you've all come and knowing that you will accomplish so much more makes me so proud and happy to be a Stay! Nothing makes me happier than seeing you smile and laugh and spending time with you-whether that be on a live or during a concert! You will all always be in my heart and prayers! Thank you for being you, because it gives me the courage to be me. You've always promised us a safe space with you, and I hope you know that you will always have a safe space with me... even if I know we most likely wont ever meet in person, I'm happy to be your support in any way possible. 찬, 리노, 창빈, 현진, 한, 용복, 승민, 이엔, I love you all endlessly!❤️❤️"

"Stray kids, for me those two words mean a lot more than you might think, for me it's my home, my friends and most importantly my big family along with the incredible community you've created, us Stay. Knowing that you are by my side makes every day in my life better, whenever i feel down you guys cheer me up, your songs help me remember who i am and what i love, hearing your music motivates me to live to my fullest. Hearing your voice makes me feel warm, so warm that i feel like you're right beside me, telling me everything is going to be okay... With stray kids by my side i know I'll never feel lonely. Thank you for everything."

"Stray kids, you are all everything for me, not only a music band. Due to you special style in your songs or live streaming first i used to love you as a band but day after day i just loved you more, now you are the biggest part of my life my favorite time in day it's only when i see you all, i don't know how can 8 guys mean this for me, but stray kids can do anything, you are a miracle, shinny miracle. You started 6 years ago, and i don't wanna it to end. You always be my everything As seungmin i will never go to the other idols concert i really don't love anyone as much i love you.

"Dear SKZ

You all have made me feel better during hard times, like flying on the airplane listening to "Sorry I Love You", feeling bad about myself while listening to "Youtiful", and many more moments in my life in which stray kids have helped me. Though I haven't been a Stay for a long while (it's been 2 years) I have learned to love all of you as models to look up to and STAY as my family. I hope I can go to one of your concerts. Thank you Bang Chan, Lee Know, I.N., Changbin, Han, Hyunjin, Felix, and Seungmin for all your hard work. Love y'all to death and beyond"

"Dear Stray Kids - I may never know you personally, but I hope to always be your fan. I didn't choose to become a STAY, I was dragged here by 8 lost children through the back door. Even though you are all 8 people from 8 different families, you came together with each of your strengths and weaknesses to make something better than has ever been done before! At this moment it feels like stray kids and stay are one big family. I know you are always hoping you can be good for stays - we hope we can be good for you. Sending lots of love❤️"

The way Bangchan and all of you take care of us was the most precious thing I ever saw. I wanna go back. Even tho I don't know you I miss you. You became a part of me.

"Dearest Stray Kids,

I stumbled upon you angels after you had your comeback with "case 143". So for me its been a little over 6 months that I have discovered you. As you guys said "You dont find Stray Kids, stray Kids find you when you need it the most" Its true. I had minor inconveniences in my life at that point and you distracted me from reality and were my safe place to just love music and laugh. Since then I fell even more in love with you all. Everyone has a bias, so do I, but im admiring every one of you. The mental strength, your talents, your personalities. Just everything. Im learning korean for you, so I hopefully one day I will understand everything you say in your lives or videos or concerts. I hope that one day I will get the once in a lifetime chance to see you live. I was devastated that I couldnt go to Paris for Music Bank oder Lollapalooza. As a german Stay I just keep on hoping that the next World Tour will be everywhere in the world. I will be in the first row, screaming and singing my lungs out. Its such a big dream and I just really hope that it will come true someday. There is so much more to say, but no words could describe my feelings and thoughts for you 8 wonderful men. Your music is everything to me. You guys are everything and so much more. So please never change. Everyone of you is beautiful. Thank you for everything. Thank you for helping and saving me.

Stray Kids everywhere around the world I love you

Ina"

"Dear Stray Kids, Thank you for offering me a light and a laugh to brighten my days. I was feeling cut off and 8 crazy men entered my world, giving me music that is so interesting and complex and lyrics that all can relate to. Even in a different language, one can feel the emotions that these talented performers offer. The highlight of my last few years was seeing the Kids perform in Atlanta this year. The highlight of my day is watching the on YouTube be crazy, caring, sweet, savage, chaotic, and so very talented. You opened me eyes and heart to something wonderful and reawakened my love of music. BangChan you care so much and you want everyone to shine. Know you are cared for and know you are doing a good job. Leeknow you are chaotic and so loving. You make me smile and laugh so much. When on stage you own the stage and show your love of dance. Changbin, you offer so much talent and depth in your lyrics. You understand why feelings can hurt and are not afraid to show vulnerability. You have an unbeatable personality. Hyunjin you are dance. You feel music and show that whenever you have the chance. You have worked so hard to grow as a performer. Good job and we will stay by your side. Han you are so brave and talented. You continue to fight and challenge yourself. You give so much in your work and help so many feel they are not alone through your words. Thank you. Felix, you are radiant. Sunshine fits as you brighten my day. I found Straykids through your voice and have been happier. You hold a special place. I hope you always get to perform because you come alive on stage. Stay safe and happy. Seungmin. You are getting so handsome and strong and you make me smile. You care for your members and are so dependable. I.N. your are Maknae on Top. You are so mature and so patient. I would not have the strength to live your life. You are loved and have matured into a wonderful talented man. Thank you so much for coming into my life."

"I want to say thank you for everything, without knowing you saved me multiple times and I don't know if I would still be here without you guys, you made me smile and laugh even when I was at my lowest point it's hard to put into words how much you have helped me and so many other stays through your music and all your videos I want you all to know that we will support you guys and stay by your side forever no matter what even though we haven't ever met you guys are like family to me you made me feel safe and comfortable in who I am and i never thought that I would ever smile so much but you all helped me without even knowing it I just want to thank you all so much, thank you so much stray kids love you all from the bottom of my heart ❤️"

"To the most wonderfull Stray Kids in the world. You bring so much joy and happiness to Stay. We hope to give some of it back to you. You work so hard for us, and we appreciat it more than you realize. I wish you the very best, now and forever♥️"

"Dear Stray Kids i have only been a stay and a fan of kpop music for 1 year and let me tell you what a rollercoaster it has been when i found a new genre of music that its absolutely out of this world. I first heard ur song Maniac i fell in love i fell so hard that my heart was full with so much love. I started learning Korean because i want to be able to connect with you better i fell in love with the languagel wanted to know all about your debut i watched so many videos i watched all of your survival shows and fell even harder i cried when you guys cried i laughed when you guys laughed i felt everything. You have brought me so much joy and happiness that i cant even tell you how much you mean to me. You Helped me through a really hard time ive always had a not so good mental health and the fall of 2023 was the worst i have ever been but watching your videos and listening to you all laughing made a huge difference in everything you guys were my escape where i would go and forget everything and just listen to you. You all have been the reason i get to live and realize that the world is not so bad and that i am enough that had a purpose for life. Han jisung this is message for you watching all of the old videos and learning that you have anxiety like me was so inspiring watching you learning how to overcome it was the way i learned how to overcome mine so THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART you really are amazing dont ever forget that. Chris i want you to know that i am so so so so proud of you and your boys seeing what you and all your boys went through all thoese years as trainees is flipping amazing so congratulations on being the #1 best leader and brother thoes boys will ever have.

"Dear stray kids.

I haven't been too much time in this fandom and i was a bit sad because i thought that i started to stan you late, but then someone told me. "You're not late, you just found them when you needed them" and they were right. When I met you, i was in a bad moment of my life and i was trying to get better but it was really hard for me, and your music, your jokes, even your smiles were the onlys that could make me feel better.

Thanks to you all i understood that i wasn't the only feeling lost and i could find my home with a lot of STAYS that were in the same situation. You don't make just music, you save lives and inspire them to do great things so i'll be always grateful to you all.

Love you and thanks for save us. <3"

"Hey my Big Brothers , I hope that you all read it :)

Big Thanks from y'all little sister

Rei..

(Btw, tell bangchan that my little sister love him the most, tell seungmin that he has cute smiley faces, tell hyunjin that he looks like my other cousin, and tell everyone that you guys are the best)"

On the day I became a STAY, my life changed, I began to see you in everything, in all my choices, and I trusted you to the point that I am with you in everything, I talk about you with all my voice, I tell the world that I love you, you are one of the reasons for living in my life, I am happy because I found someone who is very similar to me, who I belong to, who | return to on a tiring day, you are my warm home that shelters me after the cold Everyone now sees you inside of me, hears your echo in my voice, sees your shadows when I walk, and tells me that I have become wonderful with your love. The only one in my life, I chose you of my own free will. I chose you, and I am absolutely certain that I chose the best. Thank you to all the members. I learned a lot from you, and the most wonderful thing I learned is eternal love, to give everyone love so that life gives you a better feeling

I learned from Chan that love works miracles and working with everyone is the real success

I learned from Lino that happiness can sometimes be in hugging animals, although I fear him very much. I learned that attention lies in the smallest details.

From Felix, I learned that kisses, hugs, gifts, and sweet talk are healing 1 learned from Sungmin that hard work and perseverance is what you want

I learned from Sungmin that hard work and perseverance to achieve what I want is to protect the one I love with all my might."

"Dear my beloved Straykids, You are the best thing that happened when i was at my lowest.

Thank you for being part of my life and making my days and my life better~~

Until the last Step out and beyond!!"

"I am a stay since 19.06.2019 :) wow how much the time flys. I was at my worst state when you found me.

There is a saying that goes "you dont find stray kids, stray kids find you when you need them the most" I never thought something like this could be true but then it happened to me. I listened to your songs and I felt like you gave me a big warm hug. A hug I never wanted to leave from. It felt like home, a shelter you gave me. I finally found my comfort and safe place. Thats's what I thought at first. I felt like an Alien before, walking on a lonely street, drenched in rain. I felt like I deserved the pain I was going through but you guys came and changed my life. Listening to your music, discovering your world, enjoying your chaotic natures, has saved me and it calmed the voices and the noise of my anxiety. I felt that you understand me. Like we are all best friends which share there problems, fears, thoughts and what is bothering us. I felt comfort around you guys. When I am sad I listen to your songs, I watch your vlogs, interviews, shows, and so on which make me happy again. I truly feel happy watching you guys having fun, prank eachother, having a good time and you guys being yourself. You motivate me to keep going on and try to be positive. I also learned to accept my mental state and to be myself. Thanks to you I learned so much, not only in real life but also how it feels like to have a home in which everyone is accepted and welcomed in. Thanks to you guys I learned to smile again, to enjoy every moment, to cry in joy, to find friends which I hold deeply in my heart. I can never thank you enough for how much you guys did for me, for us STAY. I wil always be grateful for everything :) You guys will always have a special place in my heart, and I will always love and support you. I am proud of you, STAY is proud of you guys and remember STAY always got you backs. Thank you so much Chan, Minho, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and Jeongin :)

There won't be a last "step out".

Your sincerely STAY"

"Dear Stray Kids,

1 saw you for the first time at Lollapalooza. It was my first concert. And it made me so proud of being a Stay! You are a incredible source of peace and joy, whenever I hear one of your song, or whenever I see a post, a video or a photo of you, it makes me feel truly happy. I start to learn about Kpop in 2021, and becoming a Stay is one of the best thing that happend to me. You guys are like my family from an other universe, and l'm so grateful to know about you. Chris, Lee Know, Changlin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seugmin, IN, all of you, dear Stray Kids, you are amazing as you are, you are YOUTIFUL! Please take care of each other, you deserve the world"

"I'm writing this barely two days after your show at Lollapalooza Paris, and I still can't express how much emotions I felt that evening. I only became a stay recently, but I believe that it is one of the best decision I've ever made, your music, your shows, your videos, everything you do is such an inspiration for me and for everyone!

:) And, that sentence from Youtiful :

"Then that little star was surely going to become the biggest thing", you have no idea how much I love those lyrics, I doubt my future, a lot, but I believe that if I follow what I dream of, I'm sure that I can appreciate life as its fullest. From the bottom of my heart, truly, I wish you happiness, we, stay, love you so much. :)"

"Dear Stray Kids, its been a shroth time since i became a STAY. You helped me with depression, mental problems and much more.

All of this with your music, chaoticness, love, support and everything else. I love you woth all my heart and i will never stop supporting and loving you. You are the best thing that has ever happend to me. Us STAYs love you and will never leave your side. We want you to know that you are the best group worldwide.

"Dear Stray Kids, I became a STAY about a year ago and it was the best thing that has happened in a while.I wasn't really into kpop at the time but you guys got me into it fr. I was at a really low place in my life and when i really needed someone, watching you guys, and listening to your music, and omg Chans lives all really helped. You guys helped me get through so much and for that i really thank all of you. I don't think i would even really be where i am today if it wasn't for you guys. Im also so proud of y'all for getting where you guys are now. I hope you guys continue to move up and succeed in what you're doing. Also remember to get rest and make sure you're all healthy and well rested. I really hope to see you guys in person one day but for now ill stick to seeing you on the screen. I could go on and on but ill stop here.

: We love you and keep doing what you do.

-STAY <3"

"Stray kids thank you for being a ray of sunshine in my life and for helping me when I needed it and for comforting me everytime i cry, thank for always loving stays and making us laugh you guys truly are angels sent from heaven."

"Stray kids, thank you for being in my life, thank you for being my safe place whenever i feel sad. I love you so much, Stay will always support you, please never leave us"

"I may have become a stay this year, but you guys have done so so so much for me. I've always loved music so much and have loved writing lyrics, dancing, and singing but as I grew older I became self conscious and stopped. I lost all motivation to write lyrics and I only sang and danced in certain scenarios. It was because of you that I can finally feel the drive to do these things again. It was because of you that I'm thinking of song lyrics and feeling the urge to sing out loud in front of others. I'm not sure if I want a career in music since crowds are not my thing, but I know I want music to be apart of my life and it was you guys who helped me find the motivation, the drive to start again. Thank you so much for everything!"

"Hello Stray Kids! I'm so grateful that y'all exist. You have no idea how much you have changed my life. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with the world. Stray Kids everywhere all around

the world. 자연스럽게 죽자!"

"Dear stray kids, I'm very proud of you.And thank you for coming into my life. You brought happiness to my life. You are my reason for living. I'm proud to be a stay.

I love you always forever and always support you. Hope you see this message.

STRAY KIDS I love you" by lamisatanha

"Dear Stray Kids:

1 became Stay four years ago with his song

"Miroh." | still can't believe it's been that long, and yet I enjoy it as much as the first day. Watching you grow up, watching you climb step by step, makes me proud of you and inspires me every day by showing that everything is possible with effort. You're my example to follow, I'm always excited when I wake up, I have some notification from you. I wanted to thank you for everything you've done for staying, such as bringing us joy, consolation and sharing your feelings with us, I'm really grateful for everything you've done for me and they're teaching me whether on their live shows, in songs or in their speeches during concerts.

Please, I hope you're taking care of your health and eating well. I send you each a lot of love and support. You make Stray Kids Stay"

"If I had to rate stray kids I wouldn't give them "5 STARS" I would give them the whole universe

Everywhere around the world you'll hear me call your name because you have the best position in the "Hall Of Fame" in my heart.

You swerved speeding and came to me luxurious like a "S-Class" And I wonder why your spotlight is so bright only to realize that you are the best of the best in first class

When I found you my insecurities disappeared, you ate them, pac-man, You are that divine "ITEM" that I use to overcome my fears

I say your name to feel alive but now I'm addicted to you and i want more so i'll be waiting for the "Super Bowl" you're cooking to have a bite No one is going to beat the "TOPLINE" you marked

Without anyone knowing, we only go to

"DLC" because it is what you like la la la

When I'm bored and I have nothing to do I hear you and i "Get Lit" I get goosebumps and I feel like ⅖94TH (jugeoboja)

I was destined to find you like a "Collision" | can't let it end so i'll say i love you again

1 keep looking for you in "FNF" even if you turn to dust i will bring you back, even if I can't run and follow you I catching up up up

You once told me that I was perfect as I am, that I was "Youtifull" and that I was not afraid because the stars are by my side, now I want to tell you... STAY will always be by your side too"

"dear skz, you have no idea how much brighter you have made my life by being in it. Being a software engineer doing the same hardwork everyday you are my comfort, and home when I come home.

You inspire me a lot to pursue my dreams and keep working hard. The positivity I felt after Stanning skz is like hanging out with friends who are of same age (I'm 22) who have goals and are uplifting each other had a very crucial impact on my career. Your passion and dedication gives me strength. I never had to get involved with any toxic friends because I had you to hangout or see you in sns. Felt like I'm growing up with you all. I'm not very good with words so please bear with me and understand. You have made me feel seen and I relate to you all so much I no more feel like need to fit in.

Even with stay community I felt so much inclusive. Though I sometimes simp leeknow more I wanna tell you I love you all as much as my family. Thank you for always inspiring and being there for us . I've been here since feb 2021 and I'II forever be here"

"life, it was a word filled with darkness and sorrow, that was until i met stray kids. skz makes me feel whole again, makes me feel like myself. thank you so much for providing me comfort and bringing back my lost happiness you make me feel protected and loved. you all are my comfort people, my comfort zone. you've saved my life more than once, thank you for being you. i love you all soooo much. Also don’t ever tell yourself that you’re not enough I’m certain that you're truly fine, you are a miracle, miracle, you are youtiful." <3"

"Hello stray kids. I can't express how much all of you mean to me and everything you've done for me. I wish that one day I can meet you and give you gifts to show my appreciation for everything y'all have done for me as a way to give back to you.

You guys deserve the world and I can't express that enough. This is my little bit of giving back through this message. Thank you guys for everything you've done for me. Y'all mean a lot. I love you guys" -Isaac

"Hey Skz you guys are amazing your music has always helped comfort me in times that I felt lost. You guys dont even know who I am but you still managed to help me so much, which just shows how amazing. seeing him push through his anxiety has been helping me know how to Conquer mine. You guys also help bring a smile to my face."

"STAY LOVES STRAY KIDS!!! I love each and every one of you, a lot!!

Since the past few months you have been understanding more English, I am glad to know that. I'm proud of you.

Hann!! You and I are so similar. We both get anxiety, lol. I know it's not something to be proud of, but I am glad that someone in the world who cares about me is like me. It's not just anxiety but so many other things. Stay cares a lot about you."

"I'm very proud that I'm a STAY. they helped me a lot I love them so much I hope to see them someday. I've been liking to them for 4 months now. they are my safe place. their songs, videos, vlogs help me a lot in difficult times. I like them all and for good reason. bang chan because he is very good to everyone and takes care of them he is like a father in a good sense, in lee know I really like the fact that he is crazy and funny but also caring and his dances are unique, changbin because he is handsome and not ashamed and he acts like a little princess sometimes and he also raps very well, hyunjin is very beautiful his voice is very beautiful I don't know why they hate him, Han is a very good rapper he is a born talent I also like how he loves others, Felix is like a child for which you should you care is very good, seungmin has very good volcals and i like how savage he is, jeongin is like a confused caring funny fox. hope you see this messages i'm proud to be a STAY. STRAYKIDS I LOVE YOU" by Theya

"Hi Stray Kids. This is my first Stay birthday and I'm so, so happy to have the opportunity to celebrate it. When you entered my life almost one year ago, I didn't think that you would have had this huge impact in my life, but you did. You became fundamental for my existence, I could never live a single day without you being by my side, in one way or another. It doesn't matter how far we are, you're a part of my heart so you're always with me somehow, the best part of me. I would like to be ably not only to show my love for you, but also to protect you and make you happy, because you deserve it, you deserve everything good life could gift someone. I hope you'll be happy for the rest of your lives, I hope you'll feel Stay love each and everyday and that it'll be able to make you feel even just a little bit better. We will always try our best to bring sunshine in your lives, exactly like you bring it in ours All of my love for your, thank you for existing at the same time as me, you're the best gift I could have received from life

And remember, we make Stray Kids stay, but you make Stay stay"

"Hi Stray Kids I'm not stay very long, but I want to tell you that I appreciate you very much and I am grateful to you for making me smile and be happy every day. I'II probably never see you because I live in Europe, but that doesn't matter because I'll love you anyway. I want you to know that we are all here for you and that we love you"

"ive only been a stay for a few months, but stray kids has helped me through so much. they have become such a huge comfort at a time in my life that was pretty scary, and i am forever thankful. older stays have told me that you don't find stray kids, they find you when you need them the most. i believe that wholeheartedly, because it happened to me.

¡ definitely think i'm going to be a stay for a very long time, nothing can change that"

"Hello kids, this is one more of all the stays in the world that have helped, in any aspect of their life, I want to thank you so much,

they are amazing, strong and talented guys. SIEMPRE LUCHARE CONTRA QUIEN SEA POR USTEDES, SE QUE ESTAN EXHAUSTOS Y ABRUMADOS, PERO AQUI ESTAMOS LOS VERDADEROS STAYS PARA SIEMPRE APOYARLOS Y DARLES ÁNIMOS,

WE LOVE YOU SKZ, FOREVER LOVE YOU

NO IMPORTA CUANTO

TIEMPO PASE, SIEMPRE SERAN RECORDADOS EN LOS CORAZONES DE

STAY"

"Stray Kids, you are skilled and genius artists! Thank you for sharing your joy and love with STAY!"

"Dear STRAY KIDS

Thank you very much for everything you've done. The past 2 years were amazing as you guys were there.

You guys made every sec of my life memorable. I've never thought you guys would be this important. They say Stray kids found you at your lowest and they're right. You guys gave me another reason to live, you guys are more important than you think. The least thing I want is, you guys Being Sad and not getting enough rest. I don't believe in forever. But I believe in STRAY KIDS.

I want STRAY KIDS to be my

FOREVER. Even if the world was against you, I'II make sure you guys are being loved. I'm Really proud of Being your Fan. I'm proud of Saying that the Group I Stan is one of the most amazing and talented Group.

Sometimes, being alive sucks, But seeing you guys, made me realise how lucky I am to be still alive.

Thank you STRAY KIDS. Stay healthy, eat well, sleep well. STRAY KIDS was always there for me. And I also want to be always there to support STRAY KIDS."

"Dear Stray Kids,

You have no idea how much you mean to so many people in this world. You've helped many of us through tough times through the messages of your music and brighten our lives every day with your fantastic personalities. Each and every one of you is so special and important. So thank you for everything!"

"Stray Kids is part of my life, part of me. They are the immense support I receive every day. They're my little ray of sunshine when I'm not feeling well. They've helped me a lot, with their songs, their lyrics, their good mood and their incredible sense of humour! They're kind, funny and caring, and they always do everything to make us feel good and happy. Stray Kids makes me happy and gives me confidence. All the members are incredible and deserve love and respect. They are talented and impressive, but at the same time human and very understanding.

I've been a stay for 2 years now and not all girls my age can say they're this happy when they're listening to music or watching a show.

Stays will always be there for you, to support you through the good times and the bad.

They came into my life and made it better when I needed them most.

And I'II always be grateful to them for that. You'll always be in my heart."

"Dear Stray Kids,

My name is Kate and Im from France. Im a STAY since Case 143 so im actually here for not even a year but i wanted to tell you guys thank you. When i first discovered you through tiktok i really needed someone to be by my sides, i guess this phase was a bit tough and watching yall have fun and just enjoy made me forget my problems and i felt like i wasn't alone, i felt alive. This fandom and you make me feel like im at home. I made so much good friends because of you guys, stays are amazing.

Friday i was actually at lollapalooza to see you, you can't even imagine how i felt so happy when i saw the fireworks it was just like a dream. I couldn't realise vall were actually in front of me, performing your songs. Bangchan, your hard work is so admirable even my dad said you worked really hard and its amazing but its okay to sometime rest and do nothing. You shouldn't be caring of everything every single second.

To the other members, never doubt yourself, stay as you are and always think about yourself.

Im really happy to be in your fandom im really thankful to stays that made me discover you 8 really talented and unique members and to Stray Kids and Stays, keep going, eat well, sleep enough just be healthy and Stray Kids, come to Paris more often."

"Dear Stray Kids <3

Hi. My name is Tia and I'm from Europe.

Since meeting you my life and everyday is better and brighter, your music makes me a better person and it gives me a place for myself. You brought so much joy into my life.

You represent a safe place for me and for other STAYs as well. I don't know what I would do or where would I be without you.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done and for everything you will do in the future. I am extremely proud of you all.

I never knew that a person could have such an impact on someone's life and that someone is always there for them. Once again thank you

From: Irini🩷”

“Thank you so much Skz for being a part of my life. There wasn’t much that I was interested in in my past, but ever since discovering K-pop and more specifically you, I’ve become myself again and become someone that I thought I had lost a long time ago. Tysm for bringing more light into my life. Thank you for being a safe space for so many people. Thank you so much for your music, your personalities, your soft words/messages, and just thank you so much for being born. ❤️🫶” -artzz_kaitforlife

“STAY happy birthday, wow is it our birthday already, I hope KIDS will see this wow the past 4 years that I've been listening to you have been the most beautiful period of my life for me so much has changed since I've been listening to them and that's a good thing we had a lot of beautiful and even sad moments together but that makes us special right, over the years I've met a lot of people who are now one of my closest friends who are always there for me

STRAY KIDS thank you for everything for the music you make for us for the wonderful albums for the concerts for everything you did thank you I can't describe my happiness when I see something new from you I'm glad you exist because I don't know what I would do without you hahaha. I wish every STAY a happy birthday

#staymessage @lixiess.brownis”

“Stray kids, thank you for being the light In my life that helped me get through all the bad times. For giving me a reason to keep going. you guys mean the whole world to me and always will. STAY and I love you guys.” -rae.skz.version

“stray kids. i hear the two words and the first thing that comes to my mind is "home". and it could not be more accurate. i love stray kids so much that the word "love" itself is too weak to describe how i feel. i feel like the time i got into stray kids was the first time i had felt truly happy in a long time. it's as if the universe knew exactly what i needed and it came in the form of 8 people. i cannot begin to explain the connection i feel to them and how much they mean to me. they're healing something they never broke and they have no idea how much it means to me. stray kids, thank you for being my home, my salvation, my saviours. i may not have been there from the start, but i will love you endlessly. thank you for everything you have done. im so proud of you <33” - _strawberrhee

“I’m glad SKZ came into my life, I’m glad God allowed them to be on this earth doing what they are doing. Thank you SKZ!” - _tamm_e

“I just want to say that I haven't been a stay that long and joined around 7-8 months ago. Despite me being still "new" around, I still find that happiness in me when I hear their songs, laughter and chaos and I knew I was going down the right path and I felt safe watching their past videos and any lives they do. In general I'm very proud to call myself a stay and I'm also very proud of stray kids for coming this far and never giving up despite everything that happens around them. I'm so happy to have come across their music as they really helped me find my true laughter and smiles. Proud of you skz. Fighting❤️🖤” -raymic410

“For skz:

As a baby stay who met you guys in 2022 , I will always tell that I’m so proud of you guys for all your hard work . It is sad to see you guys getting stress , tired , etc. for all your work that you guys are doing for us. Bangchan thank you for being the best leader by taking care of us, stray kids and the staff members you always will be the best leader we know !!!! I’m very happy to be in this fandom and getting to know about you guys

xoxo , Sara 🫶🏾” -urfavbleusis

“StrayKids have changed my life and they’ve comforted me since I first became a stay, they don’t deserve the hate they get. I LOVE SKZ!” -extrskz

“i became a stay in september 2022, and as soon as i was introduced to stayville i felt so much happier, i was in such a dark place before i found stray kids but they really saved me. i even got to see them at lollapalooza, a day i’ll never forget and the best night of my life. i’m so proud to be a part of this community and i’m so proud of skz for how hard they work. <3” -levanterss

“Hi SKZ happy stay birthday. I became a stay on August 1st and i have been happy ever since. You guys have brought such happiness into my life and I can't see my life without you. Work hard and stay strong. Stay love you xx” -luciaosifo

“Message:

Hi, I'm still a Baby Stay, so it's maybe not so valid to talk that proudly but I completely fell in love with every part of your souls. I was so empty and on the ground 0 when I found that edit of Felix on Tiktok which made me wonder who you are. Now I finally started fulfilling my dreams and doing what my soul really wanted 😌. Thank you for being for me here!” -rina_vorobjova

“Dear Stray Kids, I will start by personally thanking each and one of you. You saved my and many others stay’s life. Many of us wouldn’t be here right now if it wasn’t for you guys. Stray Kids gave my path light and a light that will STAY forever and beyond. I found you when I was at my lowest and you slowly helped me back up. You may not know me and I don’t mind but please know that you have saved the life of many of us. When I found Stray Kids, I found something that I could finally call a home which I didn’t had before. Thank you for becoming the safe space for Stays and being their home. You guys don’t know how much each of you mean to us. Please don’t say mean things to yourself because it’s not true. You all have an unique, angelic, divine beautiness in your own ways. Whenever I feel really sad or depressed, you guys always manage to put a smile on my face, always. Your vlogs, skz-talker, skz-code, lives, just everything in general is so comforting that I couldn’t live without it. We will forever be thankful to all of the 8 members, each and one of them. We all love you equally with no exceptions. Please don’t think that we love one more than another because that is not true. Please do what you love and don’t change yourselves. We are proud of you no matter what you’ll become. We will STAY with you guys until the end. We will support you guys no matter what. Please please please rest and take care of yourself. We know that you don’t want any rest but you guys really deserve it. You’ve done enough for us and we’ll always be thankful for it!! Bang Chan is the reason I keep on trying everyday because he didn’t give up for his dreams.

Lee know is the reason I became strong and get to stand up for myself.

Changbin is the reason i work on myself to improve my overall health.

Hyunjin is the reason i got to express my feelings without being embarassed by it.

Han is the reason I know that I can keep moving, that it’s OKAY to feel sad and to keep believing that there is light after the darkness.

Felix is the reason I try to keep myself in a healthy state and to eat regularly.

Seungmin is the reason that I have a lot of patience and taught me how to express myself by joking around my friends.

Jeongin is the reason I keep smiling everyday even though my heart is dripping blood because of his smile and personality. -Lina”

“Dear Stray Kids

Even though I first discovered your music a few weeks ago, it already had such a big influence on my life and I couldn’t be more happier. My best friend who I’ve known since like forever is a STAY and after I switched class we got closer again through your music.

When I switched class I had no friends and listening to Lonely St (my favorite song) was a big help. Because the song describes my situation at that time quite well.

I discovered your music through a girl in my class and now we’re good friends.

So I wanted to say thank you a MILLION times. You changed my life completely 💙” -Felix.venom8

“Hi stray kids, I just wanna say that you guys mean so much to me, you helped me a lot through your music. You inspired me so much in every way wether it was your music, skz-talker go, your bubble messages and even lives. I wanna thank you so much for coming into my life 4 years ago on March 27, 2019. I hope that one day I can meet you guys in person rather than watching your concert on screen. Thank you so much for everything, keep doing what you’re doing and I love you guys so much.” -th3yluvv.luz

“I love you all ❤️ thank you for being there to stays ❤️” -louiza_stay

“Hi guys :) I just wanted to say thank you, I could go on and on about how much I love you and other stuff but words are not enough, just know that we don’t forget that you’re human, you’re allowed to make mistakes, to not feel okay, we understand, of course we worry but we know that you can take care of yourself, just promise that if you’re not feeling okey you’ll take all the energy you need from us, you always makes us feel better so this needs to be mutual, as long as Stray Kids and Stay are together everything will be fine💗 - Ary Castro” -ary1409

“Hello, Stray Kids! This is a message from one of your dear STAYs. I know I wasn't there from the beginning of your journey, but I've made it this far. At first when you found me, I found comfort in your music, but as time passed, I realised I found comfort in you. You understand me more than anyone can. You changed me into the better. I actually gained courage to Dance in public, all thanks to you. You made me STAY in everything I thought I'd abandon. You made me realize my love in Music. I can finally dance my heart out. I really hope I can make you proud, my lovely SKZ. I'm gonna stay with you forever so we grow old together. 정말 사랑해요 ❤️

“Stray kids has been such a bright light for me....they found me during the darkest time of my life. Even though I felt connected to Han almost immediately, every single member has helped me in more ways than I can count. They are my safe place, my peace, my bright beautiful sky. Words can't express how much they mean to me and I hope they can truly feel the love from all the STAYS from around the world. These have been the best years since they entered my life. Here's to many MANY more!!! Big hugs!” - _thewind._

“Stray kids!

Wow.. today is STAYs 5 year anniversary! I myself am making 1 year of being a STAY this month and it is such an honor to have this wonderful title and to be apart of this fanbase. Having friends that have the same interests as me and loving the same group as much as i do makes me feel like i can express myself to the fullest and be myself and knowing that brings me a lot of comfort. Stray kids and STAY are like home to me - i wake up knowing that im apart of this journey with Stray kids and i couldn't be happier about it. I hope this journey continues for awhile and im looking forward to more amazing memories. Thank you, Stray kids, for working so hard for us everyday. Im so proud of all of you! And thank you STAY for everything you've done for me!” -m.georgievwa

“You guys have accomplished so much ever since your debut. I'm really proud of you guys. You always make us STAY's smile, and I hope we can all always do the same for you <3" -samira_sultana2

“Dear Stray Kids,

I don't think I could ever encompass how much you guys truly mean to me in words, but I'll try as hard as I can to explain for you. I haven't been a STAY for long, but everything you guys do makes me feel so warm inside. The first time I watched one of your performances, I felt like I was coming home. My favorite parts of my life are when I can listen to your music, watch your lives, watch your silly antics on skz code, and seeing any of you guys anywhere. You guys make me feel like I'm coming home, and I hope that you know how much all STAYS love you. We love your passion, your drive, your creativity, your humor, but most importantly, we love YOU. To all Stray kids members, Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N, thank you for all your hard work, and for continuing to be passionate constantly. STAY loves you so much and so do I!

-Love, Bry♡” -Violet.skzy

“My Stray Kids. Somehow, someway, when I was in the worst place, you managed to find me. I couldn’t be luckier or happier to know who you all are, and you all mean the world to me. I’m always here, until the very last step out. I love each and every one of you to the moon and back. My starlights, shine brighter than all of them🥹🫶🏻💛☀️✨” -itsemmagrace2023

“Thank you Stray Kids for never giving up.

“Dear stray kids

Thank you so much for coming into my life, I became a stay about 2 years ago around kingdom and noeasy, when I started to become a stay I didn't know how much i would need you in the future since then I have had so many ups and downs but I know that what ever will happen I will always have you by my side, I hope that the happiness and joy that you guys bring me is and can be returned, I know that you will never meet me but I am glad that I have seen you in real life, I flew to Melbourne from Perth (chan and felix should know where) and was there for Melbourne day 2 and I will never forget that night so thank you for everything and I hope you know that I and many other people love you. I will always be a stay ❤️” -jis.svng

“Dear Straykids! I am grateful to you guys for creating a comfort place for so many people out there including myself.

Stays will always support you, no matter what, we won't leave you, afterall we are a big family. My dear Chan, Minho, Changbin, Hyunjin, Jisung, Felix, Seungmin and Jeongin, you all are enough and perfect just the way you are 🫶. 26 alphabets are not enough to express how much I love you guys. Big Hug!!!!!!!!

You make Stays stay🫶” - _i_am_foive_

“hey straykids! there's so much i want to say but every word screams only one thing- i love straykids. its already been a year since u came in my life, and honestly its the best thing thats ever happened to me. you're my comfort, my peace and what not. your songs help me to sort out my emotions. I've never been this grateful for anything in my life but u guys are my home, my only way and only direction. u guys are my life. i cry when I see y'all crying without even realising it. i feel sad when any of u is sad. i start to laugh when y'all laugh. it hurts me when any of u is going through tough times. i just want to thank y'all for coming in my life, for loving a stay! for making me fall in love w myself. for helping me in my toughest times. i'll forever be indebted to u for every single change u brought in my life. i hope i can see u one day so i can tell this all in person. thanks for existing straykids. and thanks again for coming in my life when i needed u the most❣️” -hloml_

“Thank you!! I think there is no better way to start expressing something to them with that word. The truth is that I am very grateful in every way, from one moment to the next they came into my life, to heal and cure something that you did not destroy, I heard many fans of other groups say these words and I never imagined that I would say them until that day they came into my life, if I can describe it with a landscape you would be that sun that I long to see in the middle of a strong storm, the moon among so much darkness, that's how I see you, each smile became my safe place, each song became a small song cure for my heart, they became my safe place when I feel sadness come into my life or when anxiety does not let you sleep just listening to their songs and seeing their photos in my image gallery I feel happy and at peace, when I have sleepless nights and my anxiety is at high levels just looking at chan's room I feel at peace. You have been my cure, you are more than artists, you are a safe place and without you realizing it you have healed thousands of hearts and have brought smiles from faces full of sadness, for stays Stray kids it is not just a group, they are a home, a refuge, you are my safe place. I love you Bang Chan, I love you Lee Know, I love you Chang Bin, I love you Hyunjin, I love you Han, I love you Felix, I love you Seungmin, I love you I.N. I love you my beautiful angels!!!!

Atte: K.M 🖤”

“Dear Chan, Minho, Changbin, Hyunjin, Jisung, Yongbok, Seungmin and Jeongin, I'd like to start this off with a "thank you" to all of you.

You helped me grow up in one of the hardest times. Through listening to your songs I gained confidence and learned how being astray isn't a thing to be scared of: As long as I stick to my principles and beliefs through those times, I can endure the struggle and grow out of it. Being astray is about walking my own way, fighting the darkness that takes my light.

Towards each one of you, I feel so much gratefulness that I can't put it in words. The simple thought of you 8 existing somewhere far away is enough to fill my heart with comfort and strength.

And just so you know, I'm here to stay and support you as long as I have air in my lungs to cheer you on and sing your songs! I pray for you guys that your wishes will come true and that we, STAYs, will be able to be there with you at this moment!

With love, a STAY”

“You are the joy , sunshine and the happines in my life, you saved me when i was at my worst and when no one was there for me you were . Without you my life and other stay life wouldn't be the same

I hope you guys know that you deserve the whole world and that we are all proud of what you have accomplished and of what you guys are

“You 8 have made my life so much better and made things easier for me through the years I have been hear a stay, words aren’t enough to express how much love and passion yall have brought me! Each one of you had done something so simple that made even the hardest days the best days. I can’t even comprehend the love, passion commitment, and hard work you boys put into making music for all of us stays you support us and we support you.

“Stray kids

You mean more to me and anything else in this world. From healing my pain to seeing me smile. Your existence is worth diamonds to many who have nobody by their sides. I'm so proud of you and I'll always be a stay. You made me understand my love for music and lyricism. From being able to sing, dance, rap and write well, you've taught me the morals I know today.

Your smile reminds me of the symphonies of the world and in sickness and in health. For better or for worse, stay will always be by your side. You've created a safe place for all of us, a house turned into a home. A group turned into a family and from just another song to the story of the unspoken. You're the eight stars that have changed my life and this bond ? is never gonna leave. Stray kids everywhere all around the world, you make stray kids stay 💞” -Aerith

“I’m so thankful I became a Stay. All 8 members hold such an important place in my heart. Their humor, warmth, and gentleness help me in times when I need it most. I wish Stray Kids nothing but great things now and in the future! 🖤” -코트나

“Dear Stray Kids, Hi! I’m a new stay. In January 2023 you saved my life. I was going through something pretty hard. My mental health was very bad and I honestly kept thinking of ways to end my life. I was failing in life and felt as though I failed those who supported me and just wanted to be removed of existence. But after being sad or weeks I scrolled through Viki and found KINGDOM. Not to mention, a very close friend sent me lots of reels of skz edits and BOI THEY ARE ART! So I began to learn more about you guys. And boi I slept till 3am for a couple days to watch the stray kids show. I saw the struggles and began to slowly fall in love with each and every one of you. And the laughs from videos and stay anniversaries I missed out on were truly a godsend that helped me get better. I wanna thank you so much for just being you and loving stay ! I’m honored and grateful for all you hard work and I HOPE TO SEE YOU GUYS SOON. 🥹 LOVE YOU and THANK YOU!” -Wendy

“My Home, 안녕 👋

I found you by mistake when I was searching something else but this...this is the best mistake I made. I remember buying my first albums and crying like a baby because I couldn't believe that a piece of you is in my arms.

I don't feel lonely anymore cause you guys are here to make me feel loved, bring me happy tears or make me laugh till my cheeks hurt and for this I will forever be grateful.

Thank you for teaching me that I'm not weird or cold hearted, I'm just me and I'm loved just the way I am and I shouldn't let myself down.

I believe in you and I hope that you know how strong you are and how beautiful your souls are.

Once again, thank you for healing my heart and my soul. My heart feels warm because of you.

I love you and adore you ❤” -Alice

“My dear Stray Kids, even though I haven’t been a STAY since the beginning, I promise I will stay until the very end. I found you guys when I was having a really hard time, and I will forever be grateful for everything you have taught me. You saved my life, you saved me from the darkness, you fixed my heart, even though you didn’t break it. And I will always proudly say I am part of the beautiful STAY family who belongs only to Stray Kids❤️ I could write an infinite message to you, saying every reason for why I love you, but actions speak louder than words, so I will thank you by staying by your side, and always supporting you. Even if everyone leaves, I will stay. I am so proud of how far you have come, and I completely love watching you guys following your dreams. You inspire me every day to wake up, even if it’s painful, and work on my dream. So I really wish there was a stronger word than ‘Love’, because I love you to the moon and back, and that doesn’t even measure all my love❤️ From a part of the STAY family, I am so proud of you and I love STAY so much. Thank you for everything and I will continue showing support❤️ I Love you, Stray Kids and STAY.

“Dear Stray Kids, I became a STAY about a year ago and it was the best thing that has happened in a while.I wasn’t really into kpop at the time but you guys got me into it fr. I was at a really low place in my life and when i really needed someone, watching you guys, and listening to your music, and omg Chans lives all really helped. You guys helped me get through so much and for that i really thank all of you. I don’t think i would even really be where i am today if it wasn’t for you guys. Im also so proud of y’all for getting where you guys are now. I hope you guys continue to move up and succeed in what you’re doing. Also remember to get rest and make sure you’re all healthy and well rested. I really hope to see you guys in person one day but for now ill stick to seeing you on the screen. I could go on and on but ill stop here. :) We love you and keep doing what you do .

-STAY <3”

“Dear Stray Kids, I've been a fan of yours since the very beginning of this journey and I will always be for the rest of my life. You guys inspire me so much and are everything I aspire to be. Your existence itself never fails to lift up my mood whenever I'm in my lowest, because I feel like there's still a reason for me to keep going on. Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and our cute maknae Innie, all eight of you are the cure to my depression, the light that makes my darkness disappear, and the stars that I always look up at to give me strength. That's why I want to say thank you guys for being there for us when we need it, thank you for making heavenly music, thank you for always loving us and caring about us, and most importantly thank you for being you !

“Hi Stray Kids! On June 5, 2022 I met you and I must say that you arrived at the right time, that day I lost my grandmother, however, I do not remember that day as something sad thanks to you, your music has helped me a lot, the times I think about giving up I remember you and you give me strength to continue, they have also inspired me to try new things, to lose the fear of making mistakes and falling, everything is part of the learning path, "you are doing well" is the phrase that inspires and motivates me to continue, thank you very much for everything what do you do for STAY, my parents are also STAY, we always see you together, my dad asks me about your performances and with my mom I watch your vlogs while we eat, thanks for appearing in such a difficult time for me, I love you, you are doing very well, keep up the good work, fighting!! ^^” -Ren

“I've been with stray kids for 2 years now, I met you guys when I was in a pretty dark moment in my life, you came at the right moment when I listen to your music and I read the lyrics I knew that the music you write and sing is how you really feel and I can see all the love and emotions that you have for stays.

We're really proud of you and we always will, we will continue supporting you and showing you the same amount of love that you show to stay, the time passes and you're getting bigger I don't think we could ever hug you again but that shows all the effort and hard work that you do every single day and we're really thankful for that. Thank you stray kids for coming into my life and making me see the world with so much love and happiness we will love you to the last step back and beyond.” -Xime

“ive been a stay for almost two years now, and they came into my life when i needed them most. i was at my lowest and noone could save me, until they did. they brought back the smile to my face and the light to my world. everyday i love them more and more. its like they were meant to come into my life. everytime i feel down, skz is the solution. i watch their content to feel at home. seeing them happy makes me happy as well. they bring me joy everytime i watch them. i never thought 8 men would become my favorite people. believe it or not, I'm not a teenager yet, but i already found my reason to keep going in life. they inspire me and motivate me to never give up. i see them as my role models and as stars that shine bright. if there is one member missing, that star wont shine as bright. they're my stars and ill protect them no matter what happens so they could keep shining brighter and brighter. just like they protected us. they have worked hard and they deserve every good thing that has happened to them, but im sure better things will come in the future. STAYs are proud of them and will forever be. i wish i could hug them as tight as i can to show them my love, but that hug wont be enough to show them my love. in return im writing this message, hoping they would see it. I love you. Thank you STRAYKIDS for coming into my life. I will STAY forever with you! You make STRAYKIDS STAY! ❤️” -chan97bahng

“Hi Straykids! I meet you guys when I was at my lowest, and I am so happy that I am still here with you even if I almost gave up in life. Knowing/meeting you guys really make a big impact in my life. I am so thankful that I came across to one of bangchan's live edit. You've always been there to support us and make us feel that we're not less than what we think we are. You guys always tells message to us that everyone of us are special. I hope that those nice message that you always tells to us will go back to all of you. Thank you for your music. Thank you for sharing your live to us. Thank you for trusting us. Thank you for everything that you've done for us. All of you guys truly makes stays STAY. I really love you guys so much and I hope I can meet you soon!” -Dianne

You guys have saved many lives, including mine, for which I am forever grateful! Again, I love you all so much and I couldn’t be more proud of you!🫶🫶” -Katryn

“Dear Stray kids,

It's been 4 months I am a stay and I wanted to tell you guys how much I love you. I am so proud and thankful to you for coming into my life, I didn't regret this decision and I will never forget it because you saved me and a lot of people ! Being a stay is wonderful, STAY is a wonderful fandom with amazing people that I met, I feel finally in a place where no one judges you, I can be myself, happy ! I became a stay when I was lost, in the dark and in a very difficult period, since 3 years which is called school bullying, and it kept continuing but thats okay !

“Stray Kids are the best thing that happened to me, there was a period in my life when I was depressed, my life was really bad, I lost motivation to do anything I even tried to hurt myself and for 7 months I didn't feel the joy of life but one day I found Stray Kids and slowly everything started to get better, I started to feel happy every time I saw the boys happy, I followed everything related to them, I took an example from them and soon realized that everything was starting to get better, before Stray Kids I didn't have many friends, I was afraid to talk to people, but now I found a lot of friends, I even met my best friend because of Stray Kids, I am no longer afraid and ashamed of other people I started studying more, I started to have fun and never forget about the 8 boys who helped me achive that💕 Thank you, Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N💕🇧🇬” -grizkata

“Hello Stray Kids! The 8 of you are all amazing people and are an inspiration to all stays around the world to follow your dreams. One of my best friends introduced you guys to me and I have been hooked since. You give us a reason to be even closer than we already are. My best friend, sister, and I attended your concert in Atlanta this past March. It was amazing to see you all. You are all a point of comfort for me as a person working to get their PhD. You 8 are helping me get through a PhD in Physiology and I honestly can't thank yall enough. You make life easier knowing that we share a lot of the same insecurities and interests. Stays will always be behind you no matter what you do. With much love and appreciation,

Future Dr. Alyshia Davis, U.S.A”

"I want to thank Stray Kids for… literally changing my life? Their lyrics makes even my most complicated emotions feel seen and understood. Their music give me the energy and confidence I need before accomplishing big things. The members have taught me so much about accepting myself and loving others. Some of my best friends I’ve met through being a stay. I’ll forever be grateful to skz and everything that they represent, and I’m so proud to cheer them on for as long as they’re stepping out."

"Stanning Straykids was one of the best decision I have made. They all have such a special place in my heart. I still remember the time I was in depression, not eating or sleeping at all, the only thing that brought true happiness to my face was Straykids...Each member is so talented and beautiful, everything they do is so well done!!!...A month ago I had to speak on the stage for my school competition and I have stage fright, the night before the final day I was filled with anxious and nervousness but after watching some really comforting words said by Straykids and also the way they perform on stages with so much energy and confidence i became so confident and I came home with a trophy in my hand❤️...All of their vocals, dance moves and effort they put in making music is all so amazing. Straykids taught me how to love myself and they inspire me so much...I'm truly grateful for all of them..Keep doing great Straykids, You guys are Outstanding!!!!"

“Stray Kids, you give me a reason to live, to stay. You healed something in me you never broke and healed my scars. You gave me a home where I can feel safe, comfortable and loved and shined a light in my life. I’m so, extremely proud of you all, you are healing millions of hurt and lost people and making them stay. You’ve worked so hard to become the Stray Kids you are known as today, and STAYs are very proud! I, and every other STAY in the world are so proud of you, and we love you to the moon and back.” -Brookie

“stray kids has absolutely changed my life this past year. i first became a stay in march, right before oddinary came out. i don’t know where i would be right now without stray kids. the boys have become a sense of comfort and stability for me, something i didn’t have much of growing up. i wish i had found them sooner. i found stray kids when i was going through a rough time, but i hid it pretty well so no one knew. stray kids have become a lifeline for me and im forever grateful for them and their music. Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, Jeongin, if you see this, i love you guys and im so proud of how far you have come. many more achievements and so much more love are coming your way. be proud of who you are and who you guys are becoming. i love you guys so so much!!!!! 8 is fate! SKZ WORLD DOMINATION!!!!!❤️💙💜💛💚🧡🤍🖤” -Skye

“Dear Stray Kids, you're the ones who made me stay. Literally and figuratively. Thank you for being a safe space and savior to so many people. Your music makes my day 10 times better no matter the mood. Becoming a Stay is the best desicion I've made by far. I love your fun moments, emotional moments, when you're performing and hard-working. And I love this fandom. Love you Stray Kids ❤️” -stayarmyengenemoapiececarat

My stray kids, my home. I found you out through one of my friends who is also a stay. I'm so glad that I came across you in my life. Words aren't even enough to describe all my amazing feelings right now due to you guys. I used to hate K-pop until I found you out. I became a stay during your thunderous era and I have been a stay for 5 months. It's been an amazing journey so far. Chan, you made me feel loved and safe with all your warm hugs during chans room episodes. Felix, your smile is the teasing why I smile every day. Hyunjin, forget all the haters.. you deserve all the love in the world! No one hates you, and if they do so what? Stays and SKZ love you. Han my dear bias, aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh (iykyk). Lee know, ignore those who say that you're aggressive and cold...ur our aggressive bunny who cares about the people who love him. Changbin, ur the best secret member of every girl group. hwaiting! Seungmin, you are stays puppy and we love you. I.N, you are our loved baby bread. SKZ, you are the reason why I still live today. There was a time in my life where I wanted to die. I wanted to disappear and vanish from this world. I thought I will never laugh or smile or love again. But I was wrong, because then I was introduced to ot8 and I never regretted living once. Even though I don't have any merch or photo cards or albums or the light stick, I still am a true stay. When I was having a hard time in my life, you guys helped me. So when you guys are getting hate or are having a hard time in life, look up to the sky and remember that stays are doing their best to protect and love you because you are our worlds. And those haters are just jealous that they couldn't be as successful in life as you are. Who cares about haters? They listen to your music to give hate on it but that benefits you. I just want you guys to remember that I love you all so much. As I am a 14 year old girl who likes K-pop, I get a lot of hate... but it's ok because I know that all of you would say "it's ok...You're ok. Don't worry about them,they're just idiots" I love all of you so so SO much and I would never give you up for anything! I hope that in the future we can meet but until then I will support you from my home.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❣️💋 #staymessages

“Since becoming a stay, I’ve unlocked an immense amount of happiness that I thought wasn’t possible. I went from being a terrible person who was very toxic, to discovering stray kids, the 8 stars who helped me become such a happy person, almost carefree. Watching any sort of skz content or seeing pictures of them smile warms my heart so very much and makes my mind smile. Each member is so very special, always being there for us and making time for us. I’ve also met my very best friends through skz, friends who are also always there for me and make sure I’m never alone. I’m immensely grateful to be able to call myself a stay. Stray kids, the sun shines brighter with you here. Always, thankyou for existing.” -Holly

“This is for the stay project: Hey stray kids !! I just want to let you know how much talent you guys inspired me with, and for me, it's by making art. Everyone is unique and your strengths combine to make a masterpiece. Even though I only known you for 3 years, time flies really fast and I'm glad I have made friends because of all of you. Stay is a fun place for anyone to join and we all have you guys to thank for being honorable role models and respectful people. I hope you all keep succeeding with high hopes and dreams because I will do the same for you. Thank you stray kids <3” -Angie

“Hi Kids,

I don’t really know what to say. However, if I could show you what I feel, for sure in the world I would cry and laugh at the same time.

What do I mean by that? I want to say that I am a much happier person since you introduced me, you were my light in my greatest moment of darkness and I say that I have never been so happy and proud to have you as an example.

I am a Stay and I try in every way in the world to show my greatest admiration and love for you! I love everyone and I am very proud of each one’s every achievement. A Brazilian Stay with great pride!❤️‍🔥

Xoxo, Rafa 🖤”

“I know that I am just a normal fan like billions of other people. I have been a stay for a long time, but I never got a chance to meet you. They are the only reason that I am happy today, they all are so talented and IDK if I will get to talk to them before they disband, but I love them soo much, and they are the reason why I am still alive today.Hi I am sai sahasra kallapari (you can call me Bannu),I am 14 years old, and I live in Arizona.

Lee know your an amazing dancer and your presence is just out of the world, even though people think that your cold-hearted, we stay know that you just show ur love in a different way. Keep working hard, and don't. Give up. Changbin your our favorite dwaekki, your the best rapper ever, your are literally soo powerful on stage, don't worry u are the visual.

Sai sahasra kallapari(Bannu),

“Hello! I want to thank you all for the hard work you put into your songs, performances, lives/videos for all of the stays, we really appreciate it :)

I found stray kids not too long ago when I was stuck in a depressive state that I couldn’t shake for about 2 months. I came across some videos of the group joking and having fun and I immediately fell in love with the family-like atmosphere that you have and the music is absolutely amazing. Watching your videos/lives put a smile on my face on the days I didn’t even want to get out of bed and in a way they made me feel like I wasn’t alone. So now when I’m sad I quote something from a video and I have a reason to smile in that moment. Thank you for helping me without even knowing who I am :)I really love your music and appreciate you all letting us stays be a part of your lives! I hope you will come back to Atlanta at some point so I can go to a concert ❤️ keep smiling and don’t forget to take care of yourselves because your mental/physical health is important!!!!

PS- Felix (or anyone else) if you ever need a league of legends teammate you can add me 😅 BananaMan9870

“Thank you for always putting a smile on my face whenever something brings me down!” -Kaylee

"I became a stay in 2020, i had just listened to their comeback BackDoor, instantly i was amazed by their performance and music style in general. Over time I started watching more of their videos (Vlogs,Mvs, Lives.) I found myself enjoying them even from the distance of a screen. They became my comfort idols. I struggled for a long time picking a bias and I still can’t pick one because they're all special in their own ways and i connect with each of them on a personal level. I don’t know what goes on when the cameras are off and they’re done portraying that idol image but i want each and everyone of them to know that I love them deeply and i’m proud to be apart of such a beautiful fandom, the fans (some of them) are so amazing and i can always relate to them with almost anything about stray kids, it’s like having a home away from home and i like that. Chan has given me a different perspective of life .. the way he takes care of the kids inspires me in ways I could’ve never imagine. i’m grateful for every moment that they walk the earth, i feel bad that such innocent people get so much hate from people who really don’t understand what their going through, especially the most recent incident. I cried so hard when I found out that it actually took place but thankfully chan moved out of the way in time for him not to be hurt. Hyunjin is such a big ball of energy and happiness that I can’t physically understand how people who call themselves Stays bully him to the point he has to take long periods away from the internet and idol life because of it, I hope one day he’ll realize how special he is to everyone who loves him. Jisung didn’t seem as happy as he usually does, he hasn’t made any commentary on it but i feel like fans can see how tired he is, whatever the situation may be i hope he gets better soon" -Kaliah

“hey straykids!! I just want to start off by saying that I am so so proud you! I’ve been a stay, since pre-debut and truly becoming a stay, was the best decision of my life. Straykids is home, the home where i feel safe and loved. It’s a feeling of joy and happiness. Stray kids saved me in so many ways. knowing that skz are the only ones who’ve always been there for me when no one was is truly what family means. i wish for straykids to see themselves in stays eyes. the eyes who you’ve saved with your smiles, laughs, personality and most importantly your existence💗 stay is here to stay always. we love you and will forever support you! straykids everywhere all around the world, you make “stay” stay” -yunlrv

"Hey Stray Kids!!

Skz made me fall in love with rap, and introduced me to a whole new genre of songs, I'm so glad I found you <3

I didn't find skz at my lowest, but I did have you later when I was in a mental rut. I'm not exaggerating when I say that U skz stopped it from getting so much worse.....

I will forever love you and even if u dont see this, Skz will always be in my heart and ur legacy will be alive forever <33

ILYSKZ🐺🐰🐷🐰🥟🐹🐥🦊

Chan, I wanted to write a message for u because I relate to u so much.....everything u talk about and I can see about u reminds me of myself, maybe that's why I'm so drawn to u and skz, I can relate to u.

Chan, I hope I find the happiness in life that you have found with ur boys, ur family........I hope that one day I can relate to the happy parts of you

Bahng Christophe Chan, you bring light into this world and I thank you for existing 💖🐺" - Aarya

“힘들면 나눠먹으라고 했잖아. 그래서 나는 여기 있다. 시험도 치고 요즘 너무 스트레스받아서 울고싶은데 막내라 울수가없어요 보는 눈이 많아서 매번 자제해야지 어젯밤에 공부하다가 코피가 나서 기절했는데, 그리고 그 전에 정말 위로가 되는 skz 비디오 중 하나를 발견했습니다. 정말 고맙다는 말을 하고 싶어요 내 인생에 당신들이 있어서 정말 고맙고 살아가면서 진심으로 살 의욕도 별로 없고 살고 싶지도 않은데 당신들을 보면 조금은 위로가 되지만 누구에게도 눈물을 보일 수 없을 만큼 속이 메말랐지만 너의 영상을 통해 나에게 무언의 목소리를 들려줘서 내 목소리를 나누고 싶다는 생각이 들었다 장수할 생각이 없어서 장수를 기약할 수 없기 때문에 무슨 일이 생기기 전에. 하지만 감사합니다. 당신의 존재가 매우 도움이 되었습니다. 나는 당신이 이것을 결코 보지 않을 것이라는 것을 압니다 그러나 여전히 나는 당신이 항상 당신을 지원할 것이라는 것을 알고 싶었습니다. 화이팅! 그리고 마지막으로 나는 당신을 사랑해요! 최근 삶이 정말 힘들었습니다. 더 나아지고 싶습니다. 발에 골종양이 생겼는데 의사선생님이 수술을 해도 손가락이 안 움직여요, 춤추는 건 좋아하는데 춤을 제대로 못 춘다고 했어요 수술 후.. 그래도 너의 노래가 내 슬픔을 잠시나마 이겨내게 해줬어... 고마워. 잘 하고 있다는 말을 전하고 싶어요!!” -meokie

“Dear straykids: I'm here to tell u that skz helped me so much that I can't even tell how much was it. During the locked down I felt so depress. At that time I found out abt u guy. I felt really really happy to know skz that time. Thinking back abt that time When I'm so excited to get to know ur name 1 by 1 makes me feel really really happy. I remember that I used to beg my friend to listen to skz and told them that this group helped me alot. Just by seeing ur beautiful smile make me smile all the time. Although we didn't know eachother but I feel like u guy know me better then anyone. Sometime when I feel really really depress and didn't even know what to do in life u guys are the reason that keeps me going all the time. Just sit home and watch skz code can cured everything.

THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BE THERE FOR ME♡. THANK YOU FOR BEING MY ONE IN A LIFE TIME SINGER. In ther future I don't even know that if I could find any singer like skz that alway there for me. Please stay healthy(>_<)” -Daliss

“Dear my lovely, beautiful, inspiring stray kids. I could go on on and on about the happiness and light you have brought into my life. You guys gave me a purpose and feelings of happiness love and pure joy I hadn’t felt in years!! You were my beacon of hope when I was lost and surrounded in darkness. Stray kids gave me a home after not having one in a long time. When you found me I was just a stray kid myself but now thanks to you guys we are discovering new things everyday and going on this journey together and there is no humanly possible way I could repay you for all of the love, strength, purpose, happiness and light you have given me. My heart was crumbling and almost empty when you showed up and now it has never been more full of love and happiness. Your music has been such a safe place for me to retreat to whenever I’m feeling sad stressed or angry I knew I could turn to you no matter what the problem was. All I can say is thank you and I love you all so much you make stay stay!!” -Kira

“There have been times when I have fears about the future. With all the new decisions and responsibilities put on your shoulders, growing up can be scary. However, when I read your lyrics it helps me feel less alone and less afraid. For example, "19" says, "I've gone through the same process as everyone else, but I wonder if I'm the only one who is so anxious." It is comforting to know that I'm not the only one thinking that way. Every time I listen to your songs my day brightens just a little bit more. Thank you for loving Stays as well because even though you don't know all of us, we can feel your appreciation and care nonetheless. I might just be one of millions of fans, but it really does feel like a family. Thank you Stray Kids, please be happy and stay healthy🩷.” -Addie

“Dear stray kids, first of all thank you for holding out through the tough time. It was a hard and I am glad that you got through it. If you are lonely scared or any type of scary situation just know that stays have got your back. We promise to never turn our backs on you and will continue to support you forever. Chan, you don’t have to take all the burden to yourself and know that stays love you. Lee know you are pretty similar to someone I know, both of you care a lot for the people you love and we know how you express it and I am grateful for that. Changbin I want to became someone like you who can make people laugh when they are having a tough time. Hyunjin you are literally a person who would put everything into something that you want to succeed in and sacrifice yourself but stays would be sad if they see you get hurt so put yourself first and dont sacrifice your health stays know you have worked very hard on everything. Han take your time to recover it is probably hard with all the pressure and schedule just so you know we will accept everything because stays know that you have worked hard to get to here and that it isn’t easy stays are always there if you need them. Felix I am pretty similar to you in ways I cry easily, get emotional and don’t like to see other hurt stays also don’t like when you get hurt stays got your back from all the people who can hurt you and will protect you at any cost no matter what. Seungmin first of all your smile is the reason for everyday to be the happiest during the bad days your words are like a comfort even if they are something that makes zero sense and I hope that stays can make you the same way during your bad days. IN you are amazing and your smile makes me melt which I never felt before I love everything about you and so does other stays. To stray kids, every day, every moment, every second we will be there for you when you need it. We know you do your best in everything and you deserve the world. I can’t put into words how grateful I am to have known you for the a long time. It has been very nice knowing you and stays would like to thank you for giving us everything during our hardest time so this time we will do everything for your hardest time and make sure that you feel what you deserve and will always protect you forever. Stays love you infinitely and I don’t really say stuff like this but I LOVE YOU ❤️❤️❤️” -skzsvt

"It's true when they say that Stray Kids will come into your life when you needed them the most. I was going through a bad break up last year October-November when I stumbled apon this youtube short, it's Bang Chan's and Felix's interview with Eric Nam. In the youtube short Felix said he though the maximum star for a Michelin is 5 star until Bang Chan corrected him that it's 3. I got curious what song it was and looked up "cooking like a chef, I'm a 5 star Michelin" and discovered God's Menu. At first it wasn't really my vibe 😅😅😅 I talked to my niece (she's an ARMY btw) about it and she recommended Thunderous. I listened to it, same thought I think it's not my vibe. And then one day I decided to listen to them in shuffle on Spotify and the rest is history ❤️

Stray Kids has saved in me in so many ways. Apart from saying thank you to the kids I want to let them know that they deserve all of the good things that this world can offer. I want them to feel loved, safe and protected"

"To Stray Kids: I don't even know which words to use to describe my love to you. You make me happy on a daily basis. When I first found out about you I was kinda at my lowest and was going through stuff and watching only your videos, listening to your music and just knowing about you helped. You brought so much happiness in my life and I will repay you by continuing to love you. Thank you for great music, great humor and for being truly kind and loving. We all love you. Stay safe, healthy, and happy. 🤍"

“I have been into Kpop since 2019. Straykids was one of the first few groups I got into. It really all started with me listening to Hellevator. That was the first song I heard from them. Since I found out their names, birthdays, ages, and who Straykids are. I was there when they became eight members. They have helped me more than I would like to admit. I found myself always going to watch their content when I felt sad because I knew I would be happy by the end. Changbin in the last year has become my bias. I don't know what in the world I would have done without him. His adorable laugh was what made me feel the most happy. I love all the members of Straykids, but Changbin is the one that holds a special and close place to my heart. Straykids is one of the most important and amazing groups that I got to watch grow. Thank you Straykids for being there for me when I felt like no else was. Love you Straykids and our amazing Stay! ☺️🩷”

“Stray kids saved my life when I was at my lowest. At first it was just a group I sorta thought was good but then I started realizing they made me happy and made me want to live. I will never forget what stray kids has done for me and I will always dream of telling them what they mean to me. I love you stray kids ❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“Hi. I have been following SKZ's activities for a while now. You guys are a such a talented, wholesum and fun group. I love you guys so much, take care of your health and I hope we will grow toghether 🫶🏼 Dedicating all my love to you 🥹”

“I want to thank Stray Kids so much for being a positive light in my life individually and all together. I found them when I was hospitalized in a behavioral health hospital after my father’s suicide. They comfort me when mental health issues spike, pump me up when my motivation fades, and make me feel less alone in the world. Their dynamic, their creativity, and their joy make me so happy in every way. I feel proud to be a Stay and I am so glad they can do the same for others as they have done for me.”

“I want to thank you to all of them for always doing their best and make such a great job for us. Definetly they saved my life 💖✨ I love you guys.”

“Straykids for me is my family, my home, my safe place, my love...... Often i have problems with my family and everytime i thing about Straykids, i forgot the problems. They help me a lot with first of all their music but the most important thing who helps me is just them. Their personality, their talents, happiness, joy, stupidness, voices, just the smile they gave when they saw stays make me feel better. Im only 15 years old but i have been trought so much things but everytime my safeplace and even more my new family was here for me and for a lot of people. So thank you straykids for everything you had done for me and for Stay ! Stay the same and never change. Stay and I, we love you so much❤️ Straykids everywhere, all around the world ❤️ Kiss from France ❤️”

“Dear Stray Kids, I don't think I could ever encompass how much you guys truly mean to me in words, but I'll try as hard as I can to explain for you. I haven't been a STAY for long, but everything you guys do makes me feel so warm inside. The first time I watched one of your performances, I felt like I was coming home. My favorite parts of my life are when I can listen to your music, watch your lives, watch your silly antics on skz code, and seeing any of you guys anywhere. You guys make me feel like I'm coming home, and I hope that you know how much all STAYS love you. We love your passion, your drive, your creativity, your humor, but most importantly, we love YOU. To all Stray kids members, Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N, thank you for all your hard work, and for continuing to be passionate constantly. STAY loves you so much and so do I! -Love, Bry♡”

“Just became a STAY But I regret not becoming one earlier. Watching them makes me laugh and smile all the time. Their dances and mvs had my jaws opened. Heard their names but never paid attention but now I'm like "ohh this is stray kids, I've welcomed them in my heart". I am so far away from them. I might not get to see them in my entire life too but from the deepest of my heart. I wanna let them prosper more in their life.”

“We know it’s not an easy world, we know it’s hard everyday. We’re so proud that you guys are holding on and everything you ever do we’ll be here staying till the end. Remember we’re always there with you guys no matter what you choose to do, today, tomorrow and forever, stay is always proud, always here, take rest when you need, above all we want you

guys to be happy and healthy. it’s stray kids that make us stay. “

“Hi Stray kids! I want you to know how big you play a role in my life. i used to have depression for 4 years straight it was really hard for me to smile, but the day. I started to watch you. i smile every day, even if i am having bad day exams and stress. i see your skz code or content. Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️ i am just happy by the fact that today, 1st August, is my birthday❤️🥰🥰😲🌹”

“Thank you stray kids for being such a positive and safe environment for all stays. Thank you for promoting kindness to yourself and others. Thank you for working so hard and sharing your hard work. In general just thank you for everything you do, it means a lot 💜”

“Hi, first of all we want to thank you for your hard work. For all the love and effort that goes into what you do for us Stays. You all are that shining light that guides us in the darkest of places. And we hope you all forever stay bright and shining for the world to see. Thank you for being our joy and happiness in tough times. Stay happy. Stay healthy. Stay safe. We love you StrayKids.”

“To my lovely Stray Kids.. thanks to you I always feel like I have someone to laugh with, cry with, talk and sing with.. and even though you don’t know me I hope you that I feel like you are always there for me when I need you the most.. thank you for always working so hard on making music and providing us with so much content.. we will always try our best to give you as much love and strength as you give us and will support you no matter what.. you are all so strong and beautiful people and you truly deserve all of the love in this world🫶🏼Love you❤️ And thank you for such an amazing show at Lollapalooza.. it was an unbelievable experience and I made so many memories.. I will cherish the moments for the rest of my life.”

“You came into my life at a time when I needed it most. You pulled me out of a complicated period that I wasn't really aware of. I just wanted to thank you for that. You taught me to love who I was again and gave me the desire to fight to live the life I really wanted to live. You've become part of my family and my safe place. Thank you for being who you are and for always taking care of stays. We, stays ,love you and will always be by your side. 8 is fate. Big hugs.”

“Hi hyungs, Obviously you don't know me personally but you do know me too as STAY. It wasn't long ago that I became a stay (at least I think it wasn't long ago). But let me tell you one thing, I loved every single second my eyes spent looking at you all. I love all of you in my own way. I found Chan hyung as a brother I can rely on. I found Lee Know hyung as a soulmate who won't make fun of me just because I am not good with words. I found Changbin hyung that can binge eat with me and will make me feel comfortable in my own body. I found Hyunjin Hyung as a source of motivation to keep going on. I found Jisung Hyung as someone that will make me feel more confident whenever I go out (if I do). I found Felix Hyung as the reason to smile and look at the bright side. I found Seungmin Hyung as a supporting mechanism and who can give me strength to smile in front of anyone (as I was really insecure to smile). I found I.N Hyung as a person that completes us all. Ily all 🖤❤️🫂”

“Dear Stray kids - I would call you all out by name but it would take to long. Each one of you is special to me and makes me feel loved and valued, and you make amazing music! Your dedication as artists inspires me and please know that I carry you all in my heart! 🩷🧡❤️🩷🧡❤️🩷🧡 -eight hearts for eight parts of my heart.”

“Stray kids you guys are a HUGE part of my life. Ever since I watched that one video my life got brighter 🌟. I have been happier, more cheerful etc. I can't explain all my emotions in words but I know I love you guys❤️. You guys and STAYS are my 2nd, huge family that is all around the world. I hope you guys will stay healthy,safe and produce more hit songs. One day I hope I'll see your concert. I hope you'll grow physically,mentally and spiritually. Love Y/N🧡”

“Hey Skz you guys are amazing your music has always helped comfort me in times that I felt lost. You guys dont even know who I am but you still managed to help me so much, which just shows how amazing. seeing him push through his anxiety has been helping me know how to Conquer mine. You guys also help bring a smile to my face.”

“Skz thank you so much for your amazing work! You make stays happier and you become our sunshine on our rainy days. You helped me so much through hard times with your songs that motivate me to keep going in life and do my best since I will take it at my paste even if others around me are going faster. I learned so much about myself from y’all’s music and each member! Y’all made me a better person and I’m truly thankful for having stray kids as part of my life and being in this community with stays. Being a stay made me feel connected to other stays and spread positivity to others! They are so many creators who help the stays connect and spread joyful content. Without stray kids, I don’t know I would have been in life. Thank you so much for being my light in the night. Even though I might be far away from skz and other stays I feel we are a close family who I love and care about! Please stay healthy and hydrated so that others stay to be the same. I love y'all.”

“Dear Stray Kids, Thank you so much for all of the hard work you do every day for us STAYs. You came into my life right when I needed you most. You all have helped me get through some of the darkest moments in my life, and I genuinely don't know what I'd do or where I'd be without you in my life. You bring a smile to my face every time I see you smile! Your music is where I go to find comfort and peace every day. Thank you all for being the kindest, sweetest, most generous people I've ever seen! Thank you for being you! I love you all so much! Your forever STAY, Maggie 💙”

“Pour Stray Kids 🫶 You say that you see the universe in my eyes, But it's because I look at you, You Are My Universe. When I listen to you, it's like I'm flying in the sky between a billion of Stars who shine in my heart and beat for you 💗 I'm gonna be always by your side even if I'm from afar from you. You're still my home. Je vous aimes énormément, merci beaucoup. A little Belgian STAY named Celia🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜”

“I don't even remember when I first joined this fandom that I consider my family today. All I know is I came across ur video in a time when I needed someone the most🥰, and soon enough u became those ones that light up my day every day with just a single smile from you in your videos. I will never regret the decision to want to know who that amazing deep voice guy was cause it had led to meeting this 8 amazing gentlemen and be part of one of the biggest amazing family that stays are. Stray kids thank u for this amazing journey, know that every stay love u beyond this universe, especially a 22yo girl from Morocco🥰🥰😍😍.”

“Hello Stray Kids! I’ve been a huge fan of you guys since last year, and I don’t regret it at all! Your music is just so WOW! Everything about you guys are AMAZING, you really deserve so much support! I’m really sorry about the terrible things that have been happening to you guys, no one deserves hate. Even through your hard times, stays will continue to love and support you as much as we can! Hope you’re doing great! :D”

“I would like to thank you for everything you do, for all the energy you put into your music, clips, concert.

I give you huge hugs from France and take care of yourself above all <33 Merci beaucoup, A french stay<33”

“Dear Stray Kids, Thank you for your hard work. I'm so proud of you. Every member of Skz is extremely talented, kind and beautiful person. I'm Stay 3 years and you changed my life. I have anxiety and most of the time, I feel very lonely and depressed. But your music, lyrics, funny moments... It always makes me smile. You are my second home. Home where I don't feel alone. Home where I feel beautiful and loved. I don't think that I will have a chance to meet you and hug you, but I'm sending imaginery hug. Please, take care of yourself too. I hope you know how loved you are. Don't be afraid to cry, it's okay to be sad, you don't need to act perfect all the time. Us... Stays... We love you the way you are. With love, Dea Jamesonii (Denisa).”

“To my heros, you get asked a lot in your interview if you could get super powers what would you like to get but in all honesty I think you already have some first you create art that united millions of people from different countries, cultures and times zones second your creativity never fail to inspire us stays NEVER third your hard working nature motivates the flip out of us fourth you're kind, gentle and caring and you guys stay humble no matter how big you achieve fifth you can put a smile on thousands of faces EVERY SINGLE DAY and last you managed to create a safe place for A LOT of people where it doesn't matter where they're from or who they are or who they choose to be so if that's not a super power then I don't know what is. Thank you for everything. And as always we're here to stay.”

“Thank you for being our home, a shoulder we can cry on, someone that we just can rely on. Thank you for saving many stay’s lives just by existing. Your music is such an ispiration to us stays and it feels like a warm hug, a “everything will be alright”. A special thank you to chris for being the very best leader and for the fact that even when you are at your worst you tell us not to cry and love ourselves. Thank you stray kids for saving me.

[ ] I remember when I first heard of Stray kids. I remember thinking who are these boys? My sister took me to their concert for the district 9 tour and I remember seeing the amazing energy between Stray Kids and Stays and thought "wow what a beautiful yet chaotic fandom" lol. I started listening to more of their songs and boom COVID hits; the world is locked up. That's when I fully immersed myself into their music. They brought joy and peace and happiness when so much was happening in my life. It eased some of the darkness away and brought with it 8 golden lights to light up my gloomy days. Following them on their journey as talented individuals has been the best decision I have made in my 25 years of life. So thankful and honored to be able to experience this with so many Stays who are equally as beautiful and talented as our 8 rays of sunshine. I never plan on leaving this fandom. Stray Kids, you make Stays stay! ❤️사랑해요❤️”

“Dear Stray Kids, I hope this letter finds you all in good health and high spirits. As I sit down to pen this message, I cannot help but feel overwhelmed with gratitude and the need to express how much of a positive impact you've had on my life. Discovering Stray Kids was serendipitous, a stroke of luck that changed the course of my life in ways I never thought possible. From the first moment I listened to your music, I was captivated by the raw emotions, heartfelt messages, and the undeniable passion that each of you poured into every lyric and performance. Your songs have been a constant companion during both my darkest moments and my happiest days, and I am truly thankful for the comfort and solace they have provided me. Beyond the music, it is the unwavering sense of authenticity that sets Stray Kids apart. Witnessing your journey as artists and individuals has been an inspiration. Your courage to embrace your vulnerabilities, to speak out about mental health, and to advocate for self-expression have encouraged me to do the same. You have taught me the significance of staying true to myself, even when the world around me may not understand or accept it fully. Your bond as a group is palpable, and it is heartwarming to see how you care for each other like family. It has reminded me of the importance of cherishing the people I hold dear and supporting them through thick and thin. Watching your teamwork and synergy on and off the stage has motivated me to foster stronger connections with those around me, to be more understanding and compassionate, and to strive to be a better friend and confidant. The positive energy that exudes from your performances has lifted me out of some of my darkest moments. Your dedication to spreading hope and encouragement through your music has been a guiding light for me during times of self-doubt and adversity. The messages of resilience, never giving up, and finding strength within oneself have empowered me to face challenges head-on, with the belief that I can overcome anything life throws my way. Stray Kids, you have unknowingly become my mentors, my companions, and my support system. Your passion for your craft and your unwavering determination to chase your dreams have instilled in me a newfound motivation to pursue my own aspirations with zeal and tenacity. Your infectious energy and smiles have brightened even the dreariest of days, and for that, I am eternally grateful. In this world of uncertainties and constant change, Stray Kids, you have been my constant. You have shown me that, regardless of distance, you can form genuine connections with people through the power of music and shared experiences. Your fandom, STAY, has become a warm and welcoming community, and being part of it has made me feel like I belong. As I reflect on my journey with you, Stray Kids, I can confidently say that you have forever left an indelible mark on my heart and soul. You have taught me the importance of self-discovery, resilience, and embracing one's uniqueness. You have reminded me of the transformative power of music and the profound impact artists can have on their fans. Thank you, Stray Kids, for being there for me when I needed you the most. I eagerly anticipate the music and memories we will create together in the future. As you continue to grow and evolve as artists, please know that you have a devoted fan in me, cheering you on every step of the way. With all my love and admiration, With all my love, Michaela ❤”

“For the Kids though, in 2021 I never expected that “I just want to know their names” would go to “these 8 grown men have picked me up even when I have been utterly alone and at my lowest” and I wish that we could be there for them as much as they are for us. If I met any of them today, any of the 8, I would ask them for a hug and tell them how important they are to not just me but so many of us. I guess you could say they really do make Stray Kids everywhere all around the world…STAY 🥁”

“Dear Stray kids

I don’t really know how to start this. There is so much I want to say. Thank you. Thank you for making amazing music. Thank you for believing in us, STAY. Thank you for listening to us, even though you might not know us. Thank you for creating a save Space. Thank you for being who you are. I found you when I was doing good but you helped me when I wasn’t anymore. And for that I will never be able to thank you enough. I hope you know that you are loved, because you are. You are amazing and I hope that one day you can look at yourselfs the way we, STAYs, look at you. You have created so much happiness in stays everywhere and I hope you will continue to do so for a long time.

Stray kids everywhere all around The world, you make stay stay

Thank you and I love you.”

“STRAY KIDS!! This journey has been memorable, thank you for everything you do and sharing your compassion with STAYS. I miss seeing you guys all the time. I enjoy watching you all perform and most importantly seeing all of your goofy sides, definitely brings laughter. Thank you for reminding to not give up, to find help, to learn to be kind to yourself and others. I appreciate all the love SKZ and STAYS share with each other. Let's continue to be happy, cheer each other on, and stay healthy. Much love ❤️

“Dear Stray Kids,

My name is Alicia, I’m 20, and you completely changed my life, in the best way possible. I’m a new stay, arrived a week after Maxident, and I’ve seen how far you’ve come, what you’ve been through and I couldn’t more proud. Each one of you are unique in your own way and and each one of you make Stray Kids. I’m really sure that meeting you was fate, because I’ve been battling with depression for a while now, and finding you guys helped me surviving a bit. You guys make me feel home, when I don’t feel home anymore, you make me feel included, worthy and loved and for that I could never say thank you enough. Each one of you deserve love, happiness, health and success. You guys are my favorite all rounders. Stray Kids everywhere all around the world, You make STAY stay, You made Me STAY.”

“Thank you guys for spreading love. I’m a STAY for only half a year, can I be considered a full member of this family? No matter how it is, this does not prevent me from treating you as a part of the world in which I will always be comfortable. Thank you for all the words and smiles. Thank you for your music.❤️ Thank you for your journey, thank you for not giving up and finding me. From now on, you always inspire me. I’m sorry that we can’t always protect you, but we will try our best to protect our family. Thank you for leaving a place for me, too. * The biggest hugs a little person is capable of*”

“Dear Stray Kids:

I became Stay four years ago with his song "Miroh," I still can't believe it's been that long, and yet I enjoy it as much as the first day. Watching you grow up, watching you climb step by step, makes me proud of you and inspires me every day by showing that everything is possible with effort. You're my example to follow, I'm always excited when I wake up, I have some notification from you. I wanted to thank you for everything you've done for staying, such as bringing us joy, consolation and sharing your feelings with us, I'm really grateful for everything you've done for me and they're teaching me whether on their live shows, in songs or in their speeches during concerts. Please, I hope you're taking care of your health and eating well. I send you each a lot of love and support. You make Stray Kids Stay 💙❤”

“To my beautiful Stray Kids, I am a baby stay, even though I am twice Channie’s age ☺️! I love the inclusivity that you so willingly share with us, no matter our age, identity or race. Thank you for being so authentically you. You each hold a special place in my heart. Please do not stop what you are doing. You are making this world a better place. Proud to call myself a Stay!”

“Dear Stray Kids, it's been a year and a half now since I got into Kpop and I can't imagine my life without you anymore. You have managed to become a great part of my happiness in the span of only a few weeks. Every time I watch one of your videos I begin to smile unconsciously. It's like you not only became a part of my life but my whole world.

I just want to thank every member for your hard work. You can achieve a lot with your music, not only does your music make people happy and understood but also a lot of people get to make new friends.

I'm sure it's not always easy to be an idol but you always do your best and will continue to do your best so I want to remind you that you need to take care of yourself and when times get tough remember that STAY's will always have your back, you can count on us! When you need us we will always be there to support you, no matter what!

Stray Kids everywhere all around the world! Let's STAY together forever!”

“Dear SKZ,

I'm sad that I didn't discover you at the start of your career. I'm sad that I missed seeing the determination y'all had to get out from being the underdogs. I'm sorry that I wasn't there at the beginning to help y'all realize the potential you had through all the hardships and scandals y'all endured. But I am happy that I am able to see what y'all have become. I am happy that I can see how much you've grown as men and as idols, not just as kpop idols but as true role models for your young fans. I am happy that I was able to find y'all in a time that I needed y'all in my life. I just hope y'all truly realize how many lives y'all have changed in the 5 years since you've debuted. I'm glad that Stay has also helped y'all be able to heal from any hardships that you have faced. I'm SO proud of y'all and I can't wait to see what the future holds.

Chan, Minho, Changbin, Hyunjin, Jisung, Felix, Seungmin, and Jeongin.....there will never be a last "step out". Stray Kids everywhere all around the world, you make Stray Kids stay.”

“Dear Stray Kids,

This message could last for days and I still wouldn't have said all I have to say to each of you and to you as a group. I want to start with a THANK YOU. Thank you for finding me during the hardest time of my life and reaching out to my through your music and humanity you keep displaying everywhere you go and in everything you do. You are a daily source of inspiration and motivation for me and so many others and I will never quit on you, just as you never quit on yourselves during your hard times. I remember watching you in survival camp and being amazed by your determination at such a young age and moving forward no matter what. I bet it was hard and lonely and you wanted to quit numerous times and that is okay, it is normal and it happens to all of us, no matter where we live, what we do or who we are. If only one thing out of this long messages gets picked to be seen by you, I hope it is this next part: no matter how long you work at something and how much you want to achieve something, mistakes will always gonna happen. Without those mistakes, there is no growth. Remember that by making mistakes, you are getting a chance to learn something new, and regretting those mistakes is a waste of time. The only people who don't make mistakes are the ones standing still, doing nothing and fighting for nothing, and I wish that you never become one of those people. Every single one of you is loved and appreciated by many, many people throughout the world and to your fans, you represent 8 little lights that shine in our lives on a daily basis. Simply by remembering your stunts, jokes and quirks or by listening to your songs everyday, you stay with us and keep reaching out to us, being our inspiration and motivation.

Don't let anyone tell you you are not enough or worthy of that love, because us STAYS, and me personally, will always love and follow you, offering kind words and support whenever you need it. You are more than idols and icons to us, and we don't expect you to be perfect in any way, because perfection does not exist. We love you for who you are and it is an honor watching you grow as people every day. Never give up on yourselves and please remember that you are LOVED. Thank you for everything and I truly wish to see you live someday 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙”

“Dear Stray Kids, I became a stay just some months ago (in october 022) and I'm really, really happy that I did this. Thank you for teaching me how to keep smiling and looking forward to the future... You are all such nice guys and great people. I hope you're all doing great, I am very grateful 🤍🤍”

“Ever since I've been listening to skz and it hasn't been that long two years that's all I've started to feel the beat endlessly and be proud of myself not cause of the one thing alone but evrything they preach wahhh. I don't have words.”

“Straykids, when i hear that word i think of all the comfort you guys have brought over the years. The saying that You dont find straykids, Straykids finds you when you need them the most never made sense to me until i actually experienced it. This is like a little Tmi moment but Hannie is my Comfort voice. No doubt i love all of you guys equally but han's songs brings me to tears every time whether it be tears of happiness, sadness, comfort, relief. i Once listened to Wish you back for 9 hours straight on my way back to home from a trip on a car and it helped me calm down so much. I just Want to say that straykids as whole is saving me, quite literally because im still battling but this is a battle I'm going to win, because of straykids. you guys deserve the whole universe and more and I'm sure every stay wishes that and if not im sorry but they're not a stay. I hope you guys go a long way on this journey.

Chris as the best leader for the kids and stays and the cute dimples.

Leeknow as an excellent dancer and an amazing human being.

Changbin as the sweetest guy to ever exist and the best rapper.

Hyunjin as the most ethereal human inside and out.

Han, our ace as the kindest Quokka

and the most adorable one too.

Felix as the most precious human being with the most amazing soul.

Seungmin with the most heavenly voice and the most precious smile.

Jeongin as the most dear to heart and with the most precious eye smile.

We love you guys.”

“Hello everyone, Bangchan, Changbin, Minho, Hyunjin, Han, Félix, Seungmin and I.N.

I'm French, and I wanted to tell you how I feel every time I see you on screen, listen to your music or hear your names mentioned. I have a huge smile on my face, a light heart and a mind and spirit at peace. You are a safe space for all STAYs.

We all know how hard your job is, and that haters can have a real impact on you. I'll tell you one thing: you're not perfect, that's for sure. But you save lives. You don't see yourselves as heroes, but you are our heroes.

I can already see Félix crying at all our messages of love, and maybe all the other members too.

We love you all so much, and frankly, the real STAYs aren't the ones who make you feel uncomfortable, who make fun of you or who can only stand one of you. The real STAYs love you all for your hard work, your unfailing dedication, for who you are.

We don't know each other in real life, and yet you're a boundless light to us all.

Thank you so much.

I don't think there are enough words to express how I feel.

In any case, I could never live a single day without thinking of you, listening to your music, watching your performances.

I can't love and support other bands like you, but I don't denigrate them for all that. You're our home, so as long as you're somewhere on this earth, we'll always be at home.

If you're not feeling well, take a look at our messages of love... Take care of yourselves, look after yourselves, otherwise we'll get angry, a bit like a mother looking after her little ones.

Bang Chan, love yourself. I know it's hard, but love yourself, don't hurt yourself. You're a talented leader, maybe even the best. You're a lyricist, a singer and you're magnificent.

I love you.

Minho, our cat lover, you don't understand English very well but honestly, who cares? You're funny, a wonderful singer and dancer.

I love you, Minho.

Changbin, one of the greatest rappers in history. Exceptional, dark around the edges with a marshmallow heart.

I love you, Changbin.

Hyunjin, our favourite drama queen. Honestly, I hope you're not too affected by the cyber-stalking you've been through... You're a sparkling diamond, don't ever forget that.

I love you.

-------------------------

안녕하세요, 방찬, 창빈, 민호, 현진, 한, 펠릭스, 승민, 아이엔 여러분.

저는 프랑스인인데 여러분을 화면에서 보거나 음악을 듣거나 이름이 언급될 때마다 어떤 기분이 드는지 말씀드리고 싶었어요. 저는 얼굴에 활짝 웃고, 마음이 가볍고, 마음과 정신이 평화로워요. 에어비앤비는 모든 스테이에게 안전한 공간입니다.

여러분의 직업이 얼마나 힘든지, 그리고 싫어하는 사람들이 여러분에게 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 것을 우리 모두 알고 있습니다. 한 가지 말씀드리자면, 여러분은 완벽하지 않다는 것은 확실합니다. 하지만 여러분은 생명을 구합니다. 여러분은 스스로를 영웅이라고 생각하지 않지만 우리의 영웅입니다.

펠릭스가 우리의 사랑의 메시지에 울고 있는 모습이 벌써 눈에 선하고, 다른 멤버들도 마찬가지일 거예요.

저희는 여러분을 진심으로 사랑하며, 솔직히 진짜 스테이는 여러분을 불편하게 하거나 놀리거나 한 명만 지지하는 사람이 아닙니다. 진짜 스테이는 여러분의 노력과 변함없는 헌신, 그리고 여러분이 누구인지에 대해 여러분 모두를 사랑합니다.

우리는 현실에서 서로를 알지 못하지만, 여러분은 우리 모두에게 무한한 빛입니다.

정말 감사합니다.

제 기분을 표현할 말이 부족할 것 같아요.

어쨌든 저는 하루도 당신을 생각하지 않고, 당신의 음악을 듣지 않고, 당신의 공연을 보지 않고는 살 수 없습니다.

여러분처럼 다른 밴드를 사랑하고 지지할 수는 없지만 그들을 폄하하지는 않아요. 여러분은 우리의 집이기 때문에 여러분이 이 지구 어딘가에 있는 한 저희는 항상 집에 있을 거예요.

몸이 좋지 않으시다면 저희의 사랑의 메시지를 살펴보세요... 스스로를 돌보고 자신을 돌봐. 그렇지 않으면 우리는 화를 낼 것입니다. 마치 어머니가 어린 아이들을 돌보는 것처럼.

방찬, 자신을 사랑해 힘든 거 알지만 자신을 사랑하고 자해하지 마 넌 재능 있는 리더야 어쩌면 최고일지도 몰라 넌 작사가이자 가수고 예쁘기도 해

사랑해

우리 고양이 애호가 민호, 넌 영어를 잘 못하지만 솔직히 누가 신경이나 쓰겠어? 넌 재밌고 멋진 가수이자 댄서야.

사랑해, 민호

창빈, 역사상 가장 위대한 래퍼 중 한 명입니다. 마시멜로 하트에 가장자리가 어둡고 특별하죠.

사랑해, 창빈아.

현진, 우리가 가장 좋아하는 드라마 퀸. 솔직히 네가 겪은 사이버 괴롭힘에 너무 영향을 받지 않았으면 좋겠어... 넌 반짝이는 다이아몬드야 그걸 절대 잊지 마

사랑해

한, 또 한 명의 훌륭한 래퍼이자 가수입니다. '내가 너의 남자가 되어줄게' 무대는 내 기억 속에 새겨져 있어! 귀엽고, 재능 있고, 멋지고... 더 이상 무슨 말이 필요하겠어요?

사랑해.

펠릭스, 우리의 햇살.... 너무 소중하고, 너무 예쁘고, 너무 예쁘고... 모든 멤버들을 사랑하지만 특히 너한테 마음이 가는 건 인정해. 아마 너의 주근깨와 깊은 목소리 때문일 거야.

넌 정말 특별해

사랑해, 승민아

우리 소중한 강아지 승민아. 노래도 잘하고 미소도 예쁘고. 완벽하다는 말이 딱 어울려요.

사랑해

우리 아이, 우리 아기 너무 어리고, 너무 아름답고, 너무 멋지고, 재능이 넘치네. 넌 빛나.

사랑해.

자, 사랑하고 응원합니다. 여기 와주셔서 감사합니다,

모든 스테이를 대표해서요,

세상의 모든 사랑이 여러분에게 쏟아지길 바랍니다.

우리는 항상 가족이 될 것입니다.”

“Stray kids are the reason I'm here right now they helped bring a smile to my face everyday for 2 years. Stay are so proud of Stray kids for being who they are and never failing to put a smile on stay's faces even through the depression some stay go through I for one had suicidal thoughts everyday but with Stray kids by my side those thoughts were calmed and even if it was just for a moment that I forgot about my problems I was forever grateful to Stray kids helping me stay in this life. Stray kids dont realize how much they affect our lives in a good way. Never ever forget that we are by your sides everyday and we will forever owe you for what you do for us.

“You are the light in this very dark world. Thank you for shining so bright and lightning our hearts and souls. You saved us in more than one way. Stay loves you, longer than tomorrow farther than eternity.”

“My dear Stray Kids… my home… I’ve become a stay nearly 2 years ago. I still remember the day when I’ve first listened to God’s menu and it became the only song I was listening to for weeks. I might not be the most hard working stay that there is. I don’t regularly buy merch with every comeback, I don’t go to every concert, I’m not the first one to buy albums when the pre-sales start. Sometimes I feel bad for not being able to do all that, because it feels as if I’m not able to give you as much as you give me. Seeing your faces, smiles, tears; hearing your voices, listening to your songs, makes my day better. Whenever I want to listen to something i go to my stray kids playlist. When I’m sad, the songs written by Han help me realise that I’m not alone, and in a way they give me strength. They make me realise that you can succeed in life even if it looks so scary. They calm my anxiety. When I want to daydream about an old school type of love, that’s pure, genuine, I listen to Hyunjin’s songs. When I feel as if there’s no hope, I listen to Chan’s advice. It’s as if I have an older brother that helps me get through any hardship, and assured me that whatever obstacles I meet on my way, it’ll pass. It’ll all pass. When I want to feel warmth I listen to Felix. That’s deep, calm, sweet voice that calms my nervous system down whenever I hear it. That voice that feels like a soft hug that reassures you that everything it’s fine and you’re not alone on a rainy day when everything just doesn’t go the way it should. Whenever I want to laugh hysterically until my stomach hurts I watch videos of Changbin’s laughter. The most contagious laughter I’ve even listened to in my life. When I want inspiration for a casual and comfy outfit I look at I.N’s ootd’s. Seungmin’s jokes are always top tier, and the way he’s so unhinged makes it 10x funnier, and his heavenly voice makes me rise. It’s as if an angel is singing in my ears. And lastly, Lee Know. I feel like I relate to him the most. Owning cats being one of the similarities. Also hating the idea of crying in front of anyone. There are so many things that I could write, about Lee Know, but somehow I feel as if words won’t do any justice to all of the things that I’m feeling. And this is the case with all the members to be fair. I could go on and on and on about what and what not, but it’ll still be worthless.

But there’s one more thing I really want to say.

Bang Chan: please stop being so hard on yourself. We love you. At lease I know I do. It doesn’t matter how you look, what colour your hair is, how cropped your shirt is, what length your hair is, how well you can take spicy food, so on and so forth. All of these don’t matter. Your personality and your charisma, and the beauty of your souls matters a lot more. Your health also is crucial. You are a musical genius. And a wonderful human being. You have no idea how much you’re helping people all around the world with your… Music, with your words, with your smile. Please stop being so strict with yourself, and please love yourself the way you should.

I wish I’ll be able to once tell each one of you how much you mean to me face to face, and how much I approach your work, your passion, dedication and I wish I could somehow show you how much you’re truly helping stays all around the world.

I love you all. Thank you for giving me 2 amazing years of being a STAY. I will work as hard as you work for us, and support you in any way that there is. Please take care of yourselves!”

"Hi stray kids(^_~),

"Stray Kids, you guys are really special. No matter what you do or say, we will always love you. You guys are so talented, and anyone can see it. Your Lollapalooza performance was amazing, and many non-STAYs who were there agreed as well. We’ll stick with you forever <3"

“Dear Stray Kids, I'm a Romanian Stay for 6 months now, at first I did not like k-pop at all, but I'm glad that I found your music, you made me discover a new me, a new person, you taught me to love myself more, to give life a second chance and I don't regret it at all. I wanted to tell you that you make an amazing job guys and I am so proud of you. You show us a new world!! We love you guys!!! YOU MAKE STAY, STAY AND WE MAKE STRAY KIDS STAY!!! Much love from Romania 🤍🩷🩵”

“You gave us a sense of light in our dark. For that you will always be home.”

“For SKZ

스키즈 안녕,

I just want to say thank you for always providing a sense of support even from a distance. Being a Stay has helped me through some of the hardest parts of my life and I can honestly say I'm a happier and more peaceful person because I found you guys. Your music, words, and presence brings an inexplicably large amount of comfort to my life. It helps me to be stronger everyday, because I notice the effort you all put in and it makes me strive to do better too. Thank you.”

“Dear Stray Kids, hope you are well,am good at my end just surviving in tough times. My journey as a stay started last year June (I can't remember the date 😅) the first song I heard was voices and it was really relatable to what I was going through at the time...I am really thankful to you all.

Be happy be safe 😊

I don't know why but I always feel like you are my big brothers, the ones that I can go to for help, the ones I can have fun with, the ones who can correct me when am wrong. For me being the only child is hard and having you guys makes me feel like am not the only child anymore. I always write you guys undated letters 😅 but in the end I throw them away because of my parents.....the fandom name STAY gave a reason to stay in this world and realised that we can be lost at times (STRAY KIDS) bit then we end up finding our way and staying at the safehaven.....we will be with each other through the highs and lows.....I hope you will consider having a tour in Africa.

With love ❤,

A girl from the home of the big five.”

“I became a stay for almost a year now, and I truly wish I became a stay earlier, straykids mean alot to me and others, tysm for being here with us on this planet, I hope to meet you guys in the future^^”

“We all really appreciate what you guys have given us and gone through to make us happy. We want you to know again and again that we’ll always STAY right by you no matter what.🤟”

“First happy birthday stay and I honestly cant remember when I became a stay but I remember it was the best day of my life when i listened to case 143 I think I’ve been a stay for a year or two and it’s been the best year I ever had I always talk about them and although I’m a baby stay I still love them as if I was there during their debut they mean the universe to me and im happy to say once again HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO STAY YOU DESERVE THE BEST BECAUSE YOU ARE THE BEST💗💗💗💗💗”

“Dear Stray Kids,

I saw you for the first time at Lollapalooza. It was my first concert. And it made me so proud of being a Stay ! You are a incredible source of peace and joy, whenever I hear one of your song, or whenever I see a post, a video or a photo of you, it makes me feel truly happy. I start to learn about Kpop in 2021, and becoming a Stay is one of the best thing that happend to me. You guys are like my family from an other universe, and I'm so grateful to know about you. Chris, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seugmin, IN, all of you, dear Stray Kids, you are amazing as you are, you are YOUTIFUL ! Please take care of each other, you deserve the world ♡”

“Thank you boys for everything you’ve done, you have saved my life, literally. I’ve been in some dark places and your words rang through my head and stopped my mind from winning. I’ve only been a stay for 1 year but that has been the best time of my life. We will always wait for you guys, stay healthy ok? We love you guys. Stray Kids you make STAY stay!”

“Dear Bang Chan, Lee know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N! ❤️

I'm an Algerian stay who only discovered stray kids in 2022, and I immediately fell in love with all your beautiful works.

Over time, I got to learn so much about you, and this made me admire and respect you more and more, as artists and as people.

You're all so talented, kind hearted, dedicated to making new and spectacular music with meaningful lyrics, and you help us in so many ways you cannot even imagine, all this through your work of art. even though you don't know me, I want to thank you all for being in my life, for motivating me (Changbin, know that thanks to you, now I always go to the gym!), and helping me during hard times.

Thank you also for protecting us, for always surpassing yourselves and giving your all for us, and for yourselves.

A few days ago, I took a plane, and went to see you in France, at lollapalooza and finally got the opportunity to see you perform in front of me.

It was my first concert ever, and it was better than what I could have ever imagined, absolute fire !

Most importantly, don't forget to take care of yourselves, to stay healthy, because, if you're happy, stays are happy ❤️ know that you're our safe place, and we hope to be yours as well

We're all so proud of you and we love you

-Katia”

“Hi Stray kids, I really thankful whit you for all the moments you give me, I passed a very difficult moment and you, without know, were here, for me, in my worst moments and my best moments you were here, you save me, so thanks, I love you.”

“I am a new Stay, probably since last April. I was busy doing fieldwork in South Africa for cheetah conservation with no people around me to talk to and the work itself was not always going smoothly.. 😅 But every once in a while i had some internet connection and I don't know how the algorithm of insta gave me your videos specifically, but they really helped me through those days! SKZ you have managed to make me smile in the loneliest days and I hope to someday be able to return the favor ❤️

P.S. LK if youre really a cat person, ive got some cheetah you can see.”

“I want to be a better person thanks for you. Thank you. You were been the bright in my soul and my determination to live. Thank you for everything you made for each stay. I love you guys.”

“İ'm not an old stay but i also have somethings to say. My bias is chan and he helped me alot. İ dont love myself much but he always make me feel better about myself. Sorry i cant speak english well but i hope that you'll see this message. Love skz<33”

“To be honest, I don't really know what to say, because it's really hard to find the right words. I first found you guys a little over a year ago where I was at my lowest and had lost all of my inspiration and motivation. But thanks to Stray Kids - your music, your shows, your everything really - and also Stay, I managed to find it and I also found myself again. You guys brought me so much joy and happiness and I wouldn't know what I do without you or this fandom. Thank you so much for your hard work and I hope that your always happy and healthy. 🩵 Blessings wait and they will always come. Love you to the moon and back. 🩵”

“Stray kids, thank you so much for becoming a part of my life. I'm so happy I found you a couple months ago. I'll always be a stay, no matter what. I love you guys you are changing stays lives by just being you. Take care of yourselves. ❤️”

“Dear Stray Kids, Thank you for being such wonderful people, thank you for giving us the gift of your songs that help us getting through our lifes with power, laughter, smiles and love. You are so much more then just Idols, you are far away friends that keep us from falling and motivating us to keep on going forward. I gained so much from you and each member. I'm fighting my anxiety for Han, taking better care of myself for Lix, trying to see my own beauty for Chan. I'm staying headstrong but true to myself for Minho, confident but cute for Changbin and hold my head up high knowing my worth for Hyunjin. Trying to see the positive side for I.N and keep up my witty remarks to make people laugh for Sungmin. Never doubt us, we will stay by your side as long as you allow us to. Stray Kids everywhere all around the world! SKZ🖤STAY With love, Toni from Germany ❤️”

“To Stray Kids, I’ve only been a Stay for a little over a year now but from the moment I became a STAY my life would change for the better. Before I found Stray Kids I was in a stressful time in my life due to school. I was so stressed out I would cry myself to sleep for over a week straight. I had the feeling that I was just going to crumble to the ground at any time. I started getting the feeling that life would be easier if I just didn’t exist. But before anything bad happened you guys fell into my life at the right time. My life instantly changed and I was smiling and laughing again. Seeing you all act like yourselves, laughing, and smiling just gave me so much joy. And also don’t forget your music. Not only did it get me into K-pop in general but I also really connected with the lyrics like with Alien for example. That song had a big impact on me because I realize that I’m not the only one that feels that way. All in all Stray Kids has become a safe place and home for me and all Stays of course. No matter how many times I fall down you will always be right there by my side to pick me up. You will always have a special place in Stays heart no matter what happens. You work so hard and every single Stay appreciates you for you and everything you do. So please keep up the amazing work and all eight of you are truly all-rounders. You truly are one of the best things to happen to me so thank you!! Stray kids everywhere all around the world! You make Stray Kids Stay!!!”

“I became a stay about a year and I'm so happy to become a part of this family. I love you guys so much. Stay and straykids my family, the light that shines so bright in the dark, the smiles even when some don't feel happy. Straykids have been there in ever way they can, and thats the reason we love y'all so much.

Christopher with your beautiful smile and amazing personality we see you, I see you. It maybe hard sometimes, but that's ok I just hope that you know how much I and stays love you so much.

Hyunjin, babe please don't lose ur glow, always shine bright.

Felix, hunny please stay healthy and don't ever lose ur smile, ur perfect no matter what, and always try to feel our love.

Han, sweetheart I hope that u will always believe in yourself and never give up or even forget that stays will be behind you no matter what.

Leeknow, my sweet ur goofy, and we love that. Please don't lose that.

Changbin, your so beautiful inside and out, I wish for your happiness.

Innie, please continue to grow, and always smile baby.

Seungmin, beautiful always be you and don't change for anyone, stay true to you.

Straykids, my loves my only wish is for you guys to be safe, happy and healthy. Please don't lose your smile. Stays love you guys so much. Don't ever lose your glow, always shine bright. You don't need to change ever, you're perfect just the way you are through your good days and bad days. Please don't think that just because you are idols that you can't be upset or down about something. It's mentally better to let it out then hold it in and let it overflow. As much as I hope that you will always be happy, I know that sometimes it feels impossible. My hope for y'all is that u will always try to find the good in everything, even when it feels impossible. I love you guys so much. Stay healthy and always be you.”

“I've been stanning stray kids since the survival show I was 9 at the time and now I'm 14, that's 5 years! I haven't seen them live I don't have there any of there albums (bcs I'm a broke stay) but I do have photo cards/lomo cards! I love stray kids the saved me when I was at my lowest. Little me is so proud of how successful they are now and I will forever be a stay. I love them with my whole soul. Chan, he has a sweet should he's the best leader I hope if he does see this message that all he's doing is worth it. 🐺”

“HII SKZ! i've only been a stay since maxident era and in these short 10 months i've watched you and myself grow. when i first found stray kids, you shined a light on a shadow in my mind, that i wasn't even aware of. i've always been able to turn to stray kids when in need of a mood switch or just when i felt empty and didnt want to go on anymore. i found a whole new home where i was welcomed no matter what face i put on to the outside world and always felt supported through the lyrics of their music. stays are more than proud of our idols and can't wait to see what's coming next. stray kids every where all around the world, you make stray kids stay! <3 -natalie rowbotham, usa.”

“Words could never express how much Stray Kids mean to me.

I am and forever will be thankful to Stray kids. You guys and your music were there for me when no one was, You helped me get through my dark times, You made me want to live again, You made me love and embrace myself. And for that, I will always and forever be thankful to each and every one of You.

I hope You know what your music has done to us Stays, how it healed us and kept us warm.

Thank You for always being there for me and all the Stays, thank You for your hard work, thank you for your efforts, thank You for the laughs and tears we shared.

I wish to every single one of You a happy and healthy life, keep making Stays proud. We will always be by Your side.

I am proud of You and i am honored to be a Stay. I will always support You whatever You do, I believe in You.

And I love You.

STAYS EVERYWHERE ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

YOU MAKE STAYS STAY.”

“It's so hard for me to choose something to say out of all the many things I'd like to thank you for. First of all, thank you very much for being with STAY every day and never letting us down.I want that whenever you are sad, tired or feel that nobody understands you, know that STAY will be out there waiting for you with open arms, and just like you love us, we will return that same love multiplied by 10,000. Each and every one of you is worth too much to this world. Seungmin, I.N, Felix, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han and Channie; each one of you shines in a unique way and in the eyes of STAY you are the light that illuminates our path every day. Thank you for existing, for loving us and for enduring the pain of life for us. Your passion for music and feelings are so genuine that every day I wake up with a smile thanking to have met you and have you in my life. I will be with you until the last "Step out". With much love, Fati, a STAY.”

“I've been stay for a year now and it was one of the best decisions in my life. Stray kids made me who I am today and they are there for me through good times and bad. I met new people and told old friends about you. I am extremely proud of you. I wish I could protect you from all evil in this world because It also feels safe for me with you. Wherever you are you are always in my heart that's full of love. Thank you stray kids for being in my life. I am and will always be very proud of you. You light up my world like nobody else.”

“Hello straykids I just really want to say thank you to all of you for keeping me alive I have depression and anxiety so it was not easy for me,you guys are always the reason I can be able to smile.

“Not long ago, february 2023 i had my first heartbreak. i was really down for a little while and most days couldn’t even find the motivation to get out of bed and go to school. in may I discovered skz. it started, as it does for most people with felix, seeing a video of him singing his part in case 143 i thought his voice was so cool and he looked like such a fun person. i started by just watching funny videos of them and then started listening to their music. they made me smile and laugh, seeing how different all the members were and how they always had each others backs, it made me feel less alone. i specifically grew an attachment to han, finding that he reminded me a lot of myself. skz helped me feel less alone when i was in a really dark place, and i honestly owe them my world. we don’t deserve them💕”

“Hey... I've been a stay for a year and a half now. ❤

You guys helped me a lot and because of you I have new friends now

Thanks for your hard work thank you for being who you are thank you for that happiness you're giving us

You helped me to get through the hard times thank you for protecting us... When Channie said he'll protect each one of us

I felt that

Because he and all of you guys saved me . ❤❤❤❤

Stays love youuuu. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤”

“Dear stray kids! I've been a stay for 6 months and I LOVE you guys! I am from Hungary, I'm 12 years old, and I would be very happy if you would come to us! I can't put into words how much you mean to me! Never stop, never give up! I love you all!”

“I've been a stay for about two months now and since then my life has completely changed. The last few years have been really really dark for me and even though some things still are the same and some pain is still there, the boys seriously helped me grow to be a better version of myself and I keep growing and learning new things thanks to them. Their music comes from the heart and certain songs especially for me are more than relatable and even though I knew that I wasn't alone, I never really got it untill I found their music. Like wise because they're human, I wanna tell them that STAY is all here for them too so that they aren't alone because they're the bright candle light to a dark world and when they feel like their being cramped by that dark, STAY is here to help brighten the way for them as well. Thank you Stray Kids!!!”

“Hi SKZ, im Stay, how are you? I Hope you're fine, I wanted to send this message a long time ago, but I never found the way and the courage to do it. It's been quite some time since I joined this family, and I think I made one of the most important and beautiful choices I've made in my life. You've always said that the Stray Kids always come when you least expect it and when you need it the most and it was the same for me. In that 2019 you entered my life like a bolt from the blue and you never left my side, never. Even when I made the decision to drop everything and start finding out who I was, you never left me, Your souls were Always by my side and I can't thank you enough for all the support you have given me, you have helped me put together a piece of the puzzle of my life and now I can say that also thanks to you I'm more confident of myself so..thank you, for everything Stray Kids, i love you.”

“When I became homeless in the beginning of 2022 my sister introduced me to stray kids. We were 9 people living in a tiny hotel room and most of the nights where I couldn't sleep I would just watch you guys. During that time you guys were, and still are, the things that make me get out of bed in the morning. You guys always make STAY happy and no matter how many times we say we love you. We always want to give you something more, because for some of us you are our rescuers. You saved STAY. I love you guys so so much and I will support you all to my last breath. ❤️”

“Dear Stray Kids, Thank you for being part of my life, I can easily say that you saved it when I needed it. If i'm still here today, it's because of you guys. I only discovered you at the Maniac era but since then, you've meant the world to me. I had the infinite chance to see you guys at the Lollapalooza Festival in Paris, coming from the South of France and it was worth it. It's still unbelievable for my brain to admit that ... You were there. It was wonderful and seeing all the Stays here just for you melted my heart. I can't imagine my life without you now, you're with me every day. Thank you for being part of this world, for doing all this amazing work, for being all these amazing people and awesome artists. Stays love you more than you can even imagine, we love you to the Moon and back. You deserve the world and even more. Please, take care of you all. I know you make a lot of sacrifices for all of us but please, stay safe. Safety first, just as you said at Paris with great kindness and gentleness. Freyja Maerys.”

“Dear Stray Kids, as a fan, I can't fully understand the idol life and all the hardships you have been and are still going through in your career. But what I do know is that you faced every obstacle with grace so far and that you have a great positive impact on the lives of your fans. Thank you for giving me confidence and motivating me with your music. Thank you for making me smile while joking around with each other on variety shows and live streams. Thank you for shouldering all the stress and sacrificing so much to make your fans happy. And thank you for all the warm and encouraging words you have offered your fans so far ❤️ As a STAY, I will try my best to give back all the encouragement and warmth I've received through your music, content and performances. Stay strong, boys 화이팅! 💪🏻❤️”

“Dear Stray Kids,

Oh my where do I start?! You guys came into my life during Maniac era. Well it was actually a little bit before that when my best friend show me some of your videos! I saw Back Door and Thunderous then eventually saw Maniac! I completely lost it because you all were absolutely phenomenal! I went into a deep dive of you alls music, videos, backstage shows, interviews, games shows and so much more! I saw everything you all went through and I felt so bad that I couldn’t be there since the beginning! But I was glad I came when I did! You all brought so much sunshine to my life and you all brought me so many new friends! I have met so many stays and shared so many bonds with others who understand me better than most! My sister and I shared the experience of going to your concerts together! We even have matching Felix & Hyunjin friendship rings! I’ve always been so proud of how far you all have come and seeing the love you show us Stays each day make me so happy! Channie, Hannie, Binnie, Felix, Hyunjin, Lee Know, Seungmin and IN, I love you to infinity and beyond! Thank you for making the light in my life shine better! 🫶🏾💜

Love Ana Jaffar 💜”

“Más que un mensaje de agradecimiento para los chicos quiero expresar lo que todas las stay's quisiéramos que supieran.

Para Hyunyin, no hay una verdadera razón para quererte, te queremos aunque mientas, aunque llores, aunque te enojes y aunque te equivoques, te queremos porque eres tú, porque te esfuerzas, porque ríes, porque te emocionas y porque existes siendo auténtico, así que ya no digas que no entiendes la razón por la que stay te ama tanto, porque nosotras tendremos que preguntar porque no deberíamos hacerlo.

Para Félix, el sol que ilumina a stay, mi querido Félix está bien siendo el, y no necesita adelgazar, felix necesita comer demasiado y descansar para después seguir siendo feliz, está bien llorar, y sabemos que lo haces porque sabes que no todo es para siempre, pero no tengas miedo de perder a stay, porque no va a pasar, estaremos en todos tus logros y en tus tropiezos, estaremos hay para decirte que aún estamos allí y que siempre lo estaremos.

Para Han, mi querido niño, eres tan talentoso y stay se siente orgullos@ de ver cómo eres cada vez mejor en lo que haces, queremos decirte que está bien llorar, no siempre tienes que hacer feliz a los demás solo sigue esforzándote sin olvidar descansar para que stay no se preocupe.

Para Lee know, realmente no hay nadie con una personalidad tan única como la tuya, realmente impredecible y agradable, estamos felices de tenerte, y solo pensamos en que stray kids no sería lo mismo sin nuestro querido Minho, nos haces sentir parte de una familia, nos haces sentir completos.

Para I.N, has crecido tanto que dan ganas de llorar ver cómo te convertiste en un hombre, todos lo hicieron, tienes un vocal precioso y no hay que avergonzarse de los errores, son parte de nosotros, son parte de jeonjin, y eso lo hace mejor.

Para Seungmin, no voy a repetirte que tu sonrisa es preciosa, porque ya deberías saberlo, pero stay quiere que sepas que nos alegra ver ahora la muestres, porque tu sonrisa hace que nos sintamos en casa, y nos da tranquilidad, por eso nunca más te sientas inseguro, porque cada parte de Seungmin es preciosa y no necesita ser escondida.

Para Changbin, después de todo ya lo sabes, lo diré, aún que está de más porque stay ya se encargó de que lo supieras, Changbin es realmente un gran visual, tienes una cara muy única y preciosa así que no lo olvides, pero más que cualquier cosa, eres un caballero, y no hay un precio para eso, cuidas tanto a los demás y tienes una forma muy hermosa de expresar tu cariño. Así que Changbin no solo es muy atractivo si no que también es el hombre perfecto.

Para Bangchan, nuestro querido líder, gracias por cuidar por tanto tiempo de los chicos, pero por favor no olvides cuidar de ti, recuerda dormir bien y descansar todos lo que quieras, stay entenderá si se quieren tomar un tiempo para liberarse un poco de todo. Nuestro querido líder tambien tiene una sonrisa preciosa y no hay nadie tan cariñoso, talentoso y adorable como el, tampoco hay nadie más atractivo, entonces no hay nada para cambiar, Bangchan no necesita cambiar, solo necesita recordar que el también es importante y que también merece que lo cuiden, no te preocupes por eso, stay lo hará por ti. Entonces gracias por darnos stray kids, por cuidarnos y cuidar de los chicos mi lindo líder.”

“Dear and lovely Stray Kids,

my message might not be very long but I just want to say a few words. The way that my life changed when I first met you is incredible. You were the first kpop artists I get to know and the ones I will remember till the very end. You are the people who make me laugh a lot but also cry. Every time seeing you either on my phone or computer screen even for a short moment makes me happier. Sometimes I caught myself smiling at my phone in public and probably looking like an idiot to strangers but I just can't keep it inside. On the other hand seeing you crying or just being sad makes me cry too. Even though I don't know you personally I got really attached to you. Sometimes I feel silly for having such strong emotions toward people I've never actually met but what can I do about it when you made me this way. I'm really thankful for what you do and for being here for us. STAY. We will stay with you forever.

YOU shine so bright that I don't believe in the stars in the sky anymore.

YOU are the light for so many people I couldn't count.

YOU are the reason why so many people still believe in their dreams.

YOU are the people who made us all fall in love with you and your music.

YOU. It's all because of you. You give us more than just a few songs, you changed our perspective on so many things that I'm sure a lot of stays changed after meeting you. Now after all that time, I can only say THANK YOU and I LOVE YOU.

And remember STRAY KIDS ALL AROUND THE WORLD!!! Forever.”

“Here's my message to Stray Kids -

Hi Stray kids,

Thank you for being who you are. Your wonderful, kind, chaotic self. Truly in times I have wanted to give up, your videos and music has made me push myself to just keep going. Even if seeing you on screen would have been the only reason, that was good enough.

BangChan - You deserve the world. I hope you know that. You're a wonderful leader and dad to the kids.

Lee Know - I love your witty sense of humour. I hope you're humour and laugh always stays with you.

Changbin - thank you for being such a big brother to the kids. You are the strongest pillar of the group.

Hyunjin - Your smile is contagious. I hope you always have moments where you can smile your widest. And I hope you learn how truly valuable you are.

Han - You are every stay's bias whether they admit it or not. 😂 You make everything so much brighter and I hope you see that too.

Felix - You are in every way the actual sunshine. Your smile and your kindness is seen and all of us aspire to be like that too.

Seungmin - Your vocals and your ability to make others laugh is your greatest strength. I hope it takes you places and you love every moment of your life.

I.N. - Your care and concern for others and the love you hold for the team is beyond par. I hope you give yourself that love too.

Thank you for everything Stray Kids. Thank you for keeping me alive. ♥️”

“Dear Stray Kids, You all have truly supported me in the darkest of times. Even if you are not present with me physically, your songs bring life to a LOT of people. No matter how hard the day, it always with a smile seeing your love for each. As a Stay, I only want the best for you and hope for the best of your future. 🖤❤️

Love- A Stay.”

“I've known you guys for about a year now and I wish I knew about you sooner but you entered my life right when I needed you. Your music and personalities have helped me get through so much through the past year, my life would be much darker without your sunshine in it. Thank you for letting me laugh when all I wanted to do was cry, help me calm down in very stressful situations and even just being there when I cried my heart out. I met so many wonderful people because of you guys and I'm so proud of how much you've grown and I'm soo exited to see how much more you'll grow. Thank you so much for being a comfort and a beacon of light in my life. Please take care of yourselves, stay safe and continue shining, love stay🖤

Chan, thanks you for being such and amazing leader and comfort to stays. You are such a talented and beautiful human being and I hope someday you'll see yourself just like stay sees you. Your smile is so infectious and just seeing you brightens my whole day, big hug stay🥰

Lee Know, your food looks so good, like you must really be talented at cooking because it looks so delicious. Also your cats are so adorable they're so cute. Your personality is amazing it literally makes you shine so much and you can always make me laugh, your dancing ability is out of this world and I hope to someday be somewhat like you, keep being you, stay 🥰”

“안녕 스트래이 키즈. 나는 케이트, 필리핀 스래이!!! i am studying 한글 because of SKZ. 나 피곤해 of waiting subs! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ. 나도 원해 make you feel comfortable talking to me. 미안해요 for my poor 한국어. 나는 공부할 것이다 more! 화이팅!!!! I LOVE YOU, BOYS! 사라애요 스트래이 키즈! 내일 보다 멀리 영원보다 오래. (⁠灬⁠º⁠‿⁠º⁠灬⁠)⁠♡”

“Stray Kids, You all have been a light into my life. My world wasn't dark, but it lacked purpose. I went to work, came home. Having you guys in my life has changed me in ways I had never experienced in a music group before. You all have motivated me to start applying for a better job that's worthy of me. I've been inspired to be more healthy so I can continue to Stay by your sides. You're the source of my laughter within your chaos, my tears within your desperation, and my hopes within your achievements. I will be a Stay for the rest of my life, and I am excited to grow old with you all, and hope to be able to meet you all one day. YOU MAKE STRAY KIDS STAY. I love you all deeply, Heather Weather.”

“Thank you stray kids for everything you do. Thank you for always staying true to yourselves. Your smiles, songs, personalities and warmth keep going everyday. Whenever I'm sad and feel alone, I watch all of your videos and I know that you guys will always be by my side cheering me up. There aren't enough ways for me to express my absolute gratitude. Never give up and always continue to be yourselves. I love you so much Stray kids❤️”

“I fell in love with Stray Kids because of my sister, I was diagnosed with depression two years before and when i really thought i had reached rock bottom i found Stray Kids. You’ve made my life so much better, I’ve smiled with you, cried with you and i’ve grown with you. for the past three years i’ve never felt so much joy watching you all grow more successful and popular. i’m proud to call myself a STAY, and nothing will ever stop me from supporting you, I want to thank you for saving my life. Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.n, you’ve made my days brighter, every time i hear your songs i smile and instantly feel good. I’ll never forget how good you are to us and we’ll love you forever more. I love you and STRAY KIDS EVERYWHERE ALL AROUND THE WORLD❤️❤️”

“To Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and Jeongin, thank you for all your hard work creating the best music and just for being the lovely, hilarious individuals and group that you are. No matter what mood I'm in or what kind of day I'm having, I always know that listening to your music and watching your videos will make me feel a million times better. I'm in graduate school right now, training to be a doctor, and whenever I feel down on myself or like I just can't do it, I play HeyDay at full volume, and it never fails to bring my confidence back. I always listen to it before i take an exam, and I've passed them all so far haha 😄 so thanks for being my lucky charm 🫰🏻

To my fellow stay, thank you for being the kindest, friendliest, generous, and most creative people.

I'm so happy to be a member of this fandom that feels more like a huge, wonderful family, and I'm truly inspired by both stay & skz everyday.”

“I met skz with the mv of voices and miroh, I liked them a lot but I left it there, then, in the ALL IN, I returned to them for "easy" and "gods menu", although they were very good, it was not until NOEASY that I became stay, I went crazy with each of the songs on the album and when they returned in ODDINARY it was the same, I loved them so much that I started them to Stan maniacally and now I appreciate very much that they are always through the screen and supporting without knowing us, I can have a bad di.I met skz with the mv of voices and miroh, I liked them a lot but I left it there, then, in the ALL IN, I returned to them for "easy" and "gods menu", although they were very good, it was not until NOEASY that I became stay, I went crazy with each of the songs on the album and when they returned in ODDINARY it was the same, I loved them so much that I started them to Stan Maniacally and now I really appreciate that they are always through the screen and supporting us and that despite being on the other side of the screen, just by watching a video or listening to a song of them, my day improves significantly, Lee Know, I love you too much and for being the way you are is that you became my bias, I hope you are taking care of yourself and the others, (Upload more photos to IG🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻)

😺あいしてる😺 🇨🇴”

“Stray Kids, thank you for being my comfortable safe space. You have done so much good for my mental and physical well being. I wish I could return the favor. Always hope you are doing well. 🫶

-Corrie B.”

“They say you find Stray Kids when you need them the most, and that statement has never been truer for me. I found you during the most uncertain time of my life; where I was insecure in every way. Now I feel more confident, and happier than ever. Thank you providing me with a safe space where I can learn to be myself, and to love myself. Thank you for giving me the confidence to pursue different hobbies and activities, and thank you for making my good days better, and my dark days a bit lighter. My love for each member is as expansive as the ever-growing universe and as endless as the stars in the night sky. Of course, thank you for making amazing music that I get to enjoy daily. Each member has grown and flourished so much and I cannot wait to see what the future holds. Stays will always be by your side, through thick and thin, good and bad. Good luck with everything!”

“Dear Stray Kids, I want to thank you for being you and for bringing so much joy to our (Stay) life. I became a Stay around end of November/beginning of December 2022 after stumbling upon a clip of Felix and Channie talking about how many Michelin stars there are with Eric Nam. It was down the rabbit hole after that. I listened to God’s Menu and my curiosity to know more about you boys grew. It’s funny how I was never one to get into boy groups or k pop for that matter ( and trust me my best friend has tried, she’s a hard core Army im a baby Army now but I’m attempting at making her a Stay as well). I slowly started to listen to more of your music and seeing more of your videos. The whole process of learning about K pop and it’s terms while also learning about you and your personalities was so much fun to me, as I was stepping into a whole new world I didn’t know existed. I love learning new things about you and seeing your progress as you go through this journey together and include us Stay for the ride. I love the support and the love I get from you guys as I try to do the same for you. You have made me want so much more for myself by showing me you’re hard work and dedication to your passion and to each other. I care and worry about you soo soo much. There hasn’t been a passing day since that fateful moment that you aren’t in my daily life wether it’s from your content to your music. You have become soo important to me and I can’t wait till the fateful day in September when I get to meet you in person for the first time and hopefully not the last. From the bottom of my heart 143 and I wish you the absolute best. Let’s take over the world and share our happiness and joy. Stray Kids everywhere all around the world you make Stray kids Stay!! Stray kids world domination!!!🩵🐺🩵🐰🩵🐷🐰🩵🥟🩵🐿️🩵🐥🩵🐶🩵🦊🩵”

“Dear Straykids, ❤

Thankyou for always brighten my day.. You guys such a beautiful creation, all the song you made help me to relief my depression and my insecurity. I don't know how I am without you guys, Always waiting for bed time to watch another content of you guys.

“얘들아 그냥 너무너무 고마워. 내가 제일 힘들때 남아있어줘서 그리고 내 인생에 늘 밝은 빛이 되어줘서 너무 고마워. 내가 방황하고 있다고 느낄때 그리고 내가 부족하다고 느낄때 같이 방황하고 혼자가 아님을 느끼게해줘서 고마워. 너희들 성장하는거 보면 내가 항상 뿌듯하고 마음 한구석이 따뜻해져. 내가 스테이여서 너희를 알고 응원할수있어서 이 세상에 감사해. 너희를 찾은게 내 인생에서 가장 잘한거중에 하나야. 내 인생에 선물처럼 와주어서 고마워. 이제는 너희 없는 하루는 상상도 못할것같아. 힘과 희망과 사랑과 행복을 가져와줘서 고맙고 늘 잘하고있어 우리 모두다! 사랑해 얘들아❤️늘 행복하자 우리 모두❤️❤️❤️”

“Dear stray kids,

When I became a stay, it was at my hardest time and I used to cry a lot for absolutely no reason. The only thing that could stop me from crying is your songs and skz talker episodes. Just watching you guys made me happy and awesome. Your songs are meaningful and stray kids will always have a place in my heart. Thank you so much for being there for me and you’ll always make me light up with joy!! 🖤🖤”

“Back when I lose my Best friend cause of an accident I was lonely. Not opening up not acting like I used to I started feeling so low and then I found stray kids, if I didn't find skz back then maybe I can't make it. And yeahh the fact is my birthday is on August 1 which made me think I was destined to be a STAY, STRAY KIDS make me feel like my bestie is with me. Chan, yongbok, Hyunjin, Minho, jisung, changbin, jeogin, seungmin they all make me feel like her. STRAY KIDS WILL ALWAYS HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART. ❤️

Stray kids feel like things I lose but they still holding me. ❤️”

Your songs have meant a lot to me and through your music I have come to accept that just being myself is enough. I'm going to go across the world for University and it is safe to say that I am scared, but thanks to you I feel like everything is going to be okay. I love you guys and I want you guys to always remember that STAY will always be by your side. And just like we say in Aruba, "Nos ta stima boso hopi" (We love you guys a lot).”

You guys are my comfort, my home, my besties, and my heart ❤️ I dont know where I'd be without you all. In my experience of listening to different singers and other artists, I've never experienced the kind of love and support that you guys give out to Stays.

So thank you ❤️ Keep on doing what you are doing. - STAY 😌”

“Dear Stray Kids,

I want to thank you for everything you do for us - for your music, your amazing dances, great shows, funny moments and for sharing your lives with us. Mainly for your hard work and sacrifices you have to do.

I can't even say how much you mean to me. There are not enough words for it. You are all so talented and sweet men. I am so happy that I have you in my life and I can listen to your songs everyday (at work, during work outs or just daydreaming), see your smiles in the videos or the photos and just listen to your sweet voices. That makes my day, everyday.

Thanks to you I am who I am. And I do what I really like (I've started to dance again and sing aloud with happiness).

So please, take care, eat well and be happy. We don't want to lose you! We will support you through everything because you are so important to us 💙

Thank you Stray Kids for making us STAY ❤️

Specially to Chan: Our precious leader, dad of seven, beautiful person. I wish you could see yourself as we see you. As a talented, caring, loving, cute, sexy, smart, handsome and charming man. Well, I know that nobody is perfect but you are really close to this. Please, just stay so amazing as you are. Just grow and shine and be as happy as possible. Wish you all the best and all the love on the whole planet. You definitely deserve this 💗 (don't complain about it as always 😄) And please, rest sometimes, too! Love you with all my heart ❤️

With love, Andy.”

“Thank you Stray Kids for showing up in my life at the right time. In moments when I felt bad, they pulled me out of the abyss of sadness and longing. Your music is the best thing that happened to me in my life. Please continue to celebrate your successes. Eat well and take care of your health! We are waiting for a tour of Europe, and even better come to Russia!🇬🇧Stray Kids everywhere all around the world!❤️”

“Dear stray kids, you all mean the WORLD to me. You guys saved so many people and you guys found me when I was at my lowest and I want to thank you because if it weren't for you guys I would not have been able to find peace. and I know you get this alot but I love you❤️ I would die for Stray kids💜I hope you all have someone to go to when you feel down like how stays go to stray kids when they feel down.

I am soo happy to be a stay and I wish you so so much happiness. You make my day when I am feeling low you songs and you are there to make me smile . I can't express in words how much I respect you all and how much I love you . I never attended a concert cause I am an Indian stay but I am not that sad cause seeing you all enjoying with stay on your world tour is enough for me it doesn't matter if I am there or not I can feel the love you gave us all . I always want you all to be happy. You all deserve universe. I have lot to say but words are not enough to express how happy I am being a stay even we can never meet ,but remember a stay in India is praying for your well being and is happy with you and waiting for more amazing songs in this amazing journey of SKZ and Stay ❤️”

“Dear Stray Kids, thank you for being my happy pill in my everyday life. Thank you Chan for creating Chan’s room, it is rlly a safe place for me when life gets a bit too much sometimes and I appreciate how you always take the time to entertain us and give us advice. Every Chan’s room never fails to make me feel better🥹. I feel so proud of you guys for making it big all around the world😊. You all inspired me to start creating my own music and aspire to be a better person. As Chan said ”If Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, then music is what powers us through hell!”

"Thank you for the hard work and remember that I’ll always be with you guys no matter what! Remember to always be yourself like in SKZ MVs and don’t let others hurtful words get to you🫡😊 <3”

“Dear Stray kids,

I became a fan 2 years ago when my daughter introduced me to Kpop, and honestly it was one of the best things of my life. Your music and your videos help me out so much when im just having a bad day. Everyone of you are so unique in your own way and it’s so amazing to see how much you guys have grown and accomplish so much! Stray kids you are the best! You guys bring so much love and happiness to us STAY! I am so proud of you guys in how much you have accomplished as a team and also individually. Keep up the good work. Always and forever a STAY ❤️”

“To our lovely Stray Kids, it’s a long shot that you’ll read this, but this is everything I have always wanted to tell you. Thank you for being you. I’ve been a Stay since right before the OH:Mixtape and I proudly stand by that name. I, as many other Stays, met you at a time where I wasn’t doing so good. I was desperate in trying to find something to keep me going or to simply make me smile or give me a little laugh- and I found you. I say found, but my best friends introduced you actually. From the very first Step Out, I was welcomed. Your smiles were all beautiful, your friendships were so warm, and your dedication for your work was obvious. When I got accustomed to being a Stay I finally reached the, at the time, recent news of Hyunjin being on hiatus. The moment the OH:Mixtape dropped I was jumping from relief, and I know you guys were too. I was so happy that you could all be together again as one. You boys have made it so far, and have gained so many supporters along the way. I am so genuinely proud to be a Stay, because it means that I can always support you. I hope that you never forget how lovely your smiles are, how stunning your hearts are, and just how beautiful of human beings that you will always be. Stay will always have your backs like you have ours. Just as you tell us we are human, you are human too. Please, Bang Chan, Lee Minho, Seo Changbin, Hwang Hyunjin, Han Jisung, Lee Felix, Kim Seungmin, and Yang Jeongin, never forget that you are worth every ounce of love that the world can give, because that’s what you give to us. We love you, Stray Kids, and we couldn’t be more proud to hold the name “Stay.” Each one of you make Stay, stay.”

“Dear Stray Kids, I became a STAY for almost a year now and I just wanted to say thank you for everything that y’all do! You have impacted my life in so many ways and I am forever grateful for that. Wether it is just listening to your music, watching your videos, or just listening to your voices, y’all shine a light that no one else has ever done! I just want to thank you for being yourselves and doing what you love and getting to share it with us! All of you are amazing people and I am so happy that I found y’all when I did. So once again thank you so much for not only being in my life but also the millions of other people around the world! Keep up the great work that y’all are doing because y’all are doing great!❤️ Stray Kids Everywhere All Around The World You Make Stray Kids STAY.”

“I’ve been a STAY for almost 2 years now, and while I feel as if I missed so much in the years before, I am so happy i found Stray Kids when I did. They were my comfort as I was going through a really low point. Not only did they help me laugh when I felt like I couldn’t, but their heartfelt words always came right when I needed them. So thank you to Stray Kids for being who you are, you’ve made the relationship between STAY and SKZ feel like a family and I am so happy I found it. I’m looking forward to continuing to see you grow as people and musicians, and hope you know that STAY is and will always be by your side. You are amazing as you are and we love you. ❤️”

“I have been a stay since the beginning of stray kids. I grew up with skz, I cried with them, but I also laughed a lot. They brought me so much cheek and happiness that this message would not be enough to express it. I found the comfort I needed serious to them. I found a family. They were always there when I felt at my lowest, whether through their music, or the lives, especially the chan's room where I found a safe place. Every moment with stray kids is like a light in my darkness, a spark that came to illuminate my Every moment with stray kids is like a light in my darkness, a spark that came to illuminate my world. Through his message I want to thank stray kids for everything they bring to the stay and to me.”

“Channie, Lee Know, Binnie, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and Innie, as a Momma STAY, I want to tell you how grateful I am for your presence in this world. You have all helped and influenced so many STAYS. There are some STAYS who wouldn't be here without you. Many times, you are the light and joy in their lives. So thank you for giving them a reason to not give up.

As a STAY myself, thank you for giving me the motivation to FINALLY complete my degree. So many days I blasted SKZ songs while researching and writing. I just kept telling myself that if you could all succeed, I could too.

Please know that STAY loves you. You are incredible young men and I can't wait for whatever comes next.

With much love, gratitude and a big hug,

Shannon.”

"Dear Stray Kids,

You have no idea how much you mean to so many people in this world. You’ve helped many of us through tough times through the messages of your music and brighten our lives every day with your fantastic personalities.

"Dear Stray Kids,

I am a stay since 19.06.2019 :) wow how much the time flys. I was at my worst state when you found me. There is a saying that goes “you dont find stray kids, stray kids find you when you need them the most” I never thought something like this could be true but then it happened to me. I listened to your songs and I felt like you gave me a big warm hug. A hug I never wanted to leave from. It felt like home, a shelter you gave me. I finally found my comfort and safe place. Thats´s what I thought at first. I felt like an Alien before, walking on a lonely street, drenched in rain. I felt like I deserved the pain I was going through but you guys came and changed my life. Listening to your music, discovering your world, enjoying your chaotic natures, has saved me and it calmed the voices and the noise of my anxiety. I felt that you understand me. Like we are all best friends which share there problems, fears, thoughts and what is bothering us. I felt comfort around you guys. When I am sad I listen to your songs, I watch your vlogs, interviews, shows, and so on which make me happy again. I truly feel happy watching you guys having fun, prank eachother, having a good time and you guys being yourself. You motivate me to keep going on and try to be positive. I also learned to accept my mental state and to be myself. Thanks to you I learned so much, not only in real life but also how it feels like to have a home in which everyone is accepted and welcomed in. Thanks to you guys I learned to smile again, to enjoy every moment, to cry in joy, to find friends which I hold deeply in my heart. I can never thank you enough for how much you guys did for me, for us STAY. I wil always be grateful for everything :) You guys will always have a special place in my heart, and I will always love and support you. I am proud of you, STAY is proud of you guys and remember STAY always got you backs.

Thank you so much Chan, Minho, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and Jeongin :)

There won't be a last "step out".

Your sincerly STAY"

“Dear Stray Kids,I became a stay back at the beginning February 2021. I might not be a stay from pre-debut but I'm glad I got to know you all and become a STAY who will always stay by your side. You all 8 are amazing singers, dancers, producer's, rappers and many more things that you could imagine. As I watch whether it's skz code, skz-talker, MV's, making films, vlogs I always catch myself smiling because I see these beautiful caring boys who are doing what they love and enjoying each other company. The music that you all make helps me through the day whether I have had a bad or good day I love listening to your music. I might not be able to meet you all but just know that I will be supporting from where I am not matter what. Thank you for being here, for your hard work, for your love, for being my light, my sunshine. Thank you for saving me even if you didn't know. I promise to continue to be a STAY that will stay by your side forever and always.I wish you all are happy and healthy”

“#staymessage

Hey guys! :D

I don't know how to begin this one, but I'll just be straight forward. I'm a baby stay still, the invitation to stayville was given by 5-Star, and I'm happier than ever since I got to know you. Your music- it's different- like a good kind of different and it makes you look out from the crowds. Ofcourse then considering you guys have been producing your own tracks, I guess that adds up to it? I don't want to make this message like really really long even though I can simply carry on writing paragraphs already :P Anyways, thank you! I must thank you all for existing, I don't know why I didn't find you previously but then I guess this all is a form of good luck to me. I start my University this year, it's crazy- the feeling. But I feel like now I've got friends-people who support me despite anything and that's you guys! Thank you for existing, I've been listening to your music for quite a while now, and must I add I enjoy them just a lot? My playlist is now filled with tracks by SKZ and I don't mind it at all! ^.^ I'll be moving ahead starting a new chapter of my life, with you guys! So yeah, it's like I've got my personal boost of confidence and support. I need you all to know that you're loved. A few weeks in the fandom and I can already feel the difference, the support the love-aggressive sometimes T-T it might be, but we all love you a lot! I guess, it's not just STAYS everywhere around the world making STRAY KIDS stay-but the opposite of it is true as well. You, Stray Kids, make STAY stay. Does that make sense-ugh I'm sorryyyy- T-T. I literally just want to put in my emotions but I can't seem to put everything in words this once-

I've been laughing more, smiling loads, being happy surely and it's making people around me wonder as well because I kinda lost myself during highschool? So yeah, shit happened but I'm good!Having decided to leave the past in the past and begin a new chapter and because I found you guys, learnt a lot from all of you in such a short time, I feel this once it'll not be really difficult. I feel like I'm ready! You're with me and the rest of the STAYs, aren't you? 'QUOTE IN- *Bangchan's voice- I'm gonna protect all of you!* -You are protecting all of us, all of you infact. (I'm being real, really.) I'm sure I'll never be able to meet any of you, but just so you know, I'm silently supporting you as well like millions of other stays!

Loads of love, my favourite people! Continue being yourself, you make stays happy, I hope we make you happy as well. We need you as much as you need us, so yeah- Let's go on together for a long long time!

Always remember that each one of you is loved and needed- without either, Stray kids won't be Stray kids as we know it.Here's to our Wolfchan, Leebit, Dwaekki, Jiniret, Quokka, Bbokari, PuppyM, Foxi-Ny- be yourself forever and we'll be here forever supporting you! Forever isn't really a word defined in particular but, guess until the end works? And so, until the very end, Way to go, SKZ~ Love love and loads of <143> <3”

“Hi kids, its been 4 years since i became a stay and i am really thankful for you guys. Altough you guys have been through a lot but never gave up. For me Straykids is what motivates me to still be able to go on. In my exam year i had nothing but the motivation Stray kids gave me. You guys fill my lonely nights and fill em with joy. When i felt weak Straykids taught me to stand up for myself and keep my head high. After all those years i fought with anxiety and depression im so glad i found your music. You guys literally saved my life and i want you guys to take care of your psychical and mental health, sleep and eat enough okay? Stray kids make STAY stay. Stray kids everywhere all around the world.”

“To the kids, I'd gladly take all the pain in this world if it meant keeping you happy and healthy. You are our home, you are our smile, you are our reason. To us, you mean the world and beyond. Thank you for being our guiding stars and saving us, we are forever grateful ♥️”

“I would like to thank stray kids for inspiring my music career that I have at the moment, without them I don't know where I would be in my dreams, but because of them, I have a kickstart”

“our stray kids,

words arent enough to express how much we love and care for you. every time we see anything from you its like the world becomes a brighter place. you have brought immense amounts of happiness and pure joy to those around you and we hope and pray that we can do the same <3 the things youve done for us cant be expressed in words alone but i hope that you know how blessed we are to have you 🤍 WE WILL PROTECT YOU OUR LOVES !! millions of stays around the world will do everything in our power to keep you from harm and sadness, i love you sososososososo much <3 remember to take a break and rest and recharge, dont overwork yourselves 🤍 just hearing your voices is enough to make a day 1000 times better, we love you for eternity, eternally <3 -ryleigh ❤️”

“dear stray kids, thank you for everything you do. at first, you all were a distraction from some events that had happened but it's been about 1 year since i've become a stay now- you guys have become another home, a safe place for me and i'm truly thankful ^^ currently, i'm working on a project and i decided to have the topic be your discography and seeing how far you all have come, i'm super proud. keep up the amazing work, take breaks and rest when you need it

much love, k <3”

“Stray kids 안녕,

스테이 3년밖에 안됐는데도 여기까지 와준거 너무 자랑스럽고 매번 컴백할때마다 노력하고 다들 많이 연습하고 스테이용 콘텐츠 만드는데 최선을 다하고 전반적으로 우리를 위해 많이 희생해줘서 정말 고맙고 이 멋진 그룹을 알게되어 얼마나 감사한지 말로 다 표현할 수 없을정도로 감사하고 무엇을 하든 항상 옆에 있을게 잘해줬어. 자랑스럽다. 알지? 항상 응원한다 왜냐하면, you make Stray Kids Stay.

진심으로 너를 사랑해 🤍”

“Dear stray kids, thank you so much for everything. You have helped me through some of the hardest moments through my life and got me where I am today. Your music, your personalities, your jokes, your serious moments, your words of encouragement just have done so so much for me. I can't do much in return but this is the least I can do. With lots of love - a stay”

“Stray kids! I really don't know what to say. I became a stay during Christmas EveL and I'm so so so glad I did. It is a bit strange to say that you helped me become a better person, but it's true. My trip across the country (for a skz concert) helped me grow my responsibility. Once, when I got out of surgery I was scared and tired. I asked my mom (who was there) to play me "grow up" and it comforted me so much i fell back asleep. It's little things like this where i am so grateful to all of you. I will always have a place for Stray Kids in my heart. You will never stop being one of my favorite performers. I will always be proud to recommend my favorite performances/music to people I know. I know the relationship between fan and idol can become strange, but I hope you can always feel that STAY is always supporting you. We will always stay <3

-amelia ❤️”

“Dear Stray Kids, I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for your incredible music. Your songs have touched my heart and provided comfort during both good and difficult times. Your dedication, hard work, and love for your fans are truly inspiring. Thank you for being the guiding light in my life.And even if I know every language I would never be able to find words to describe how Amazing you guys are! With love and support, Stay 💜💜”

“Dear Stray kids!

It's been 1.6 years since I started listenting to you guys. Its as if you guys became my hope to keep on living when I was at my worst. The first MV I saw was Christmas Evel, at first I didn't understand a single word but something about it was catchy enough to make me keep listening to it. It was December 2nd 2021 when I discovered you guys. Before I found you guys it was as if I was in a a dark tunnel however, when I found you guys it was as if someone took my hand in that tunnel and took me to an exit where 7 guys with huge smiles on their faces waited for me. The person who took my hand was I.N. After coming to the exit the oldest one give me a big hug saying "its going to be alright". Then came the one with blonde hair and his cute freckles saying brownies are the magical food to make you feel better than ever. Then came one who was the tallest there, he held my hand and and comforted me while i cried like a 2 year old about how people make fun of saying I'm a good for nothing when I we trying hard to make them like me. Then came 2 guys who made me laugh while having my tears ran down my face. Then came a guy with his with puppy eyes who put my hand down while i was trying to hide my smile. The last guy came and pulled me aside from the train tracks because I didnt know the train was coming. This is the story of my life of how I was saved by all of you. Bang chan gave me hope to not give up and keep going through everything and someday someone will notice just what I go through and even if someone doesn't he told me he will always stay by my side no matter what. Lee know told me its not my fault if I look mean because what matters is how you are at heart. Changbin told me I'm pretty the way I am and I don't need to care about how others perceive me. Hyunjin told me it was okay to go at the pace you are, you might be slow than others now but it will be different in the future. Han told me its okay to take your time to process things and anxiety is normal all I have to do is seek help from someone about it. Felix told me to express the emotion I keep bottling up inside of me. Seungmin told me just how much my smile is worth. And because of I.N I'm able to even feel these things. He is the one who opened the door for me when I was locked up in the dark. Stray kids you told me the proper ways of how to keep on living if not for myself at least for you guys then. You guys told me I'm not alone in the mess and you will always be by my side. A few days ago I woke up a 4am and started crying because of how proud I feel his to stan such legends. I hope to keep on staning you until the day I die.”

“I became a STAY only 1 year ago, I've always loved Stray Kids the same amount as I love my first kpop group. You are my inspiration and my role model even if you think that you are not perfect but remember that you are perfect in STAY's eyes. I live in a small island (Mauritius) where I think you guys might not know about but I'm happy stanning Stray Kids. I will always be a part of this fandom. Thank you Skz.”

“Dear Stray Kids,

I adore all your albums, you're all motivational and very supportive and we STAYS would love to return the favour to you all! I may not be able to see you on Bubble or see you in bands or on a fancall but just know that this STAY is supporting you wherever you are and whatever you're going through in your life. I hope you continue succeeding, I'm always rooting for you Stray Kids!”

“#staymessages

To the people who came into my life when I was rejecting everyone, I chose you to be my home, my safe haven. At a time when I was tired and lost faith in everyone, I believed in you and brought you into my heart. I came to you to become part of this FAMILY. On the day I became a STAY , my life changed, I began to see you in everything, in all my choices, and I trusted you to the point that I am with you in everything, I talk about you with all my voice, I tell the world that I love you, you are one of the reasons for living in my life, I am happy because I found someone who is very similar to me, who I belong to, who I return to on a tiring day, you are my warm home that shelters me after the cold. Everyone now sees you inside of me, hears your echo in my voice, sees your shadows when I walk, and tells me that I have become wonderful with your love. The only one in my life, I chose you of my own free will. I chose you, and I am absolutely certain that I chose the best. Thank you to all the members. I learned a lot from you, and the most wonderful thing I learned is eternal love, to give everyone love so that life gives you a better feeling. I learned from Chan that love works miracles and working with everyone is the real success. I learned from Lino that happiness can sometimes be in hugging animals, although I fear him very much. I learned that attention lies in the smallest details. I learned from Changbin that sharing strength while protecting the ones I love is great. I learned to stand firm for the people behind me.I learned from Hyunjin that art is the foundation of creativity. I learned from Han that friendship is the best relationship. From Felix, I learned that kisses, hugs, gifts, and sweet talk are healing. I learned from Sungmin that hard work and perseverance is what you want. I learned from in to do everything I can in a good and classy way to earn what I want”

"Dear Stray Kids, thank you for working hard to make the STAYs happy, first of all I want to thank you for changing my life for the better. Even though I can't go to your concert because I'm from Malaysia and I'm 13 years old :) so it's quite impossible to go to your concert that far away. and I feel very happy to be able to live life as a STAYs, I hope you can take the time to go to malaysia we are not forced:) we can see you from afar is enough I feel very sad when I know that I will not be able to see you all no matter at the concert or at my fanmeeting. When I'm sad, videos from fans edit stay edit chans room and all the members make me feel happier now. Thanks again for making us Happy :)" F:Batt_”

“Dear Stray Kids,

I became a stay in January of 2021 and becoming a stay has definitely been one of the best decisions I've ever made. You guys saved me and you don't even know me. Your music gave me so much motivation, and happiness. When I had a bad day, listening to your music just made everything go away. I am so proud of how far each and every one of you has come. I love you guys so much, and I genuinely wish the best in life for all 8 of you. Remember, you guys are beautiful inside and out. Don't let haters bring you down okay!! STAY HEALTHY

Love, Stay >:)”

“Stray Kids, please know that your constant love and unwavering support for STAYs have made all the difference in my life. Your genuine care for us, your fans, is truly unparalleled. Through your music, you've created a sense of unity and belonging, fostering a community filled with love and compassion. It's a testament to your exceptional character as individuals and as a group. I am eternally grateful for the bond that we share, which extends beyond the boundaries of language, culture, and distance. You have become an irreplaceable presence, always there when I need you the most. You've taught me the importance of perseverance, self-expression, and embracing my true self without fear or reservations. In closing, I want to express my heartfelt thanks once again.

I promise to continue supporting and cheering for you in all your endeavors, as you have supported and inspired me. With love and gratitude, Mercedes”

“Hello stray kids🫶🏻 im a baby stay and i come from the Philippines, KPOP wasn’t really my thing but ever since i saw skz and I saw every member having fun and just being joyful about their careers despite having a lot of haters i got inspired and that made me stan skz. Im still new to the fandom and to some songs but i will forever cherish your achievements Stray kids. I would also like to say to Felix and to Hyunjin for being strong and inspiring as an idol despite of all the hate you guys get. I LOVE YOU BOYS SO MUCH🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

-love, KEIKS🫶🏻”

“staymessage: You’re all doing so well!No matter what, we’ll be proud of you. Don’t forget to put your health first and to do what you love! Thank you for the incredible music and laughter #lovestay”

“HELLOOO STRAY KIDS!!!!!!! I'm from India, and being an Indian stay is really hard, when I know I can't attend concerts, fan meets,or even understand Korean fluently. But why am I still here you ask? DUH CUZ YOU 8 PEOPLE HAVE MADE MY LIFE. I know you hear that a lot but I genuinely want to let you know that even the smallest things you do, cheer us up so so so much. In some cases even saves a person's life. You guys are my only source of happines. When I feel down, I watch skz videos, I listen to your music, I keep checking for Instagram updates, anything related to you guys just makes my day. Also, can I just appreciate the fact that all of you have worked so hard. Non stop just to provide us with music. Not to mention Channie, literally sacrifices his sleep, peace, happiness and anything he can, to never disappoint us. To chan, felix, hyunjin, seungmin, changbin, Han, kee know and I.N, I'm an 18year old girl, who lives by her day happily because of you guys. I'm determined to one day, attend one of your concerts, meet y'all in a fan meet and I'm so so thrilled to even think how much more music will be out by then. So please, wait for me, I'll be there. And wait for stay. Cuz we will always be there for you. No matter what. We may not know how much you had to go through, but we know you've tried so hard for us. And that's enough❤️✨. So promise that you'll never leave us behind. Because, I'll always 'stay' by your side”

“Hey kids, although i didn't spend much and joined your company a bit late but I'm glad I did. I found you guys when I'm on my depression and noone could cure , I had almost lost my inner child but you guys helped me, help me to stood and fight those and live. our best leader who can't take compliments , become our therapist without listening to our trauma and cure us . He always think that he's not good enough BUT CHRIS you don't know what person you are , you're literally father figure but you were there for me when my real father was not. Our bunny , mino!! It's okey not to show your feelings , but glad you did show to us and kids. Do you have space for a new lazy cat? Adopt me :)) I'm good at cuddling, giving attention , I'll lay and listen you , about your day. Here comes our Binnie, oh my GOODNESS you are most HANDSOME , CHARMING, CUTIEE , GORGEOUS but most likely SWEET , SOFT , CALMEST human to us. We love when you smile , laugh , had fun. CHANGBIN you are the MOST PRECIOUS”

“Dear Straykids, first of all I'd like to thank you guys for being with me through all my tough times even though you don't know me personally. We all have times where we can't tell people (even our close friends) that we are struggling. I often have times where I can't express my feelings to others, resulting me to bottle up my feelings. I feel like I'll be a bother if I talk about my problems. I also keep on gaslighting myself into thinking that my problems aren't as big as people's so I have no right to be sad. But whenever I listen your music or watch skz code or talker it comforts me alot. You guys bring comfort to me and other stays. I became a stay this year and I don't regret my decision at all. I used to listen to your songs when you guys were still new but I wasn't really a stay back then. When the pandemic happened I decided to leave the k-pop community and finally in 2023 I became a k-pop stan again because of you guys. When I first listened to you guys, you were still and newbie and not many people knew about you guys but now you guys are know everywhere. I'm really proud of you guys. I regret for not stanning you guys back then but now I'm here and I'll never leave. Again, I'm really proud of you guys for everything that you've achieved. You guys taught me to not give up and follow my dreams, and that's exactly what I'm going to do. I want you all to achieve all the happiness in the world. Please look after yourself and try not to harm yourself. You guys are here for us and we're also here for you guys. Stay loves you guys alot<3

You make stay stay ♡”

“Hey skz i am a relatively new Stay as it's been less than two months since you guys found me but you were there for me when i needed you most and i already know my life would be completely different without you. Thank you so much, i love you guys and hope you will know that no matter what us Stays will always be there for you ❤️❤️”

“Hi Stray Kids :DD

Thank you so much for existing in my life. I am so glad that I saw your videos during my exam, when I was having my biggest breakdown in my life. All your comforting words and funny moments had cheered me up and help me. You are all talented and hardworking idols, and eight lovely angels in our heart. We know you work very hard for us and make stays happy, but make sure to take sufficient rest! It’s crucial to take a good care of yourselves. Moreover, you are always with us when we feel down, but remember it’s okay to come to us when you feel unhappy too! Stray Kids and stays are a big, lovely family. Stray Kids, thank you so much for producing wonderful musics and bring happiness to us. Stray Kids love stays, and stays love Stray Kids! Best leader Bang Chan, excellent dancer Lee Know, insane rapper Changbin, Prince Hyunjin, true ACE Han, sunshine and brownie boy Felix, big vocalist Seungmin and cute maknae I.N, thank you so so much and love you all!!”

“Hey boys! How are you holding up? I hope it's not too much! Take care of yourself first okay? Stays would be much more happy with our boys healthy and happy! Are you okay? I sincerely hope every little thing can make you feel okay!! Far from you now but I will come see you in 3 more years hopefully! Can I get a warming hug then? Oh I really wish soo. Don't stress too much okay? Make some mistakes, laugh about it and have fun. Because seeing you laugh keeps me going. See you all very soon... Hell nah I m giving up that hug hehe! Lots of love...

“Not a day goes by that I don't think about you guys or have your music playing in my head. Please continue to be yourselves and love each other are much as you love us. STAY will always support you no matter what!”

“Dear Stray Kids,

It was a gorgeous sunny day and the blue sky was out when I first heard your voices. Your music intrigued me, so I started to learn more about you and listen to more of your music. Fast forward to today and I’m proud to call myself a STAY! The more I listen and watch, the happier I become! Whether it’s watching your SKZ Code episodes or listening to #Lovestay on repeat, you guys never fail to put a smile on my face and tears running down my cheeks. You have helped me in countless ways and there is nothing I can do to ever repay that. My life was saved because of you and for that I am eternally grateful! Please continue to love each other and us STAYs as we will continue to love Stray Kids. Thank you for being you, you all are loved!❤️

With Love,

a STAY”

“Stray kids are the best people in the whole world they should know how much they mean to each and every stay. Stray kids would always make me laugh when I was going thru some personal stuff and helped me smile a lot and there just so funny and sweet and beautiful and I wanna thank hyunjin for his counseling room. Chans room for always making me laugh. Han for also making me laugh. Lee know for telling us that if there is something to gain fight and win. Felix for showing us to never give up. Changbin telling us we need to remember our failures to keep growing and improving in the future. Seungmin for being cute and funny. I.n for telling us that if ur happy then u can truly be happy.”

“#staymessage step out! ah.. stray kids.. just the name makes my face light up.. I became a stay around late 2019 and I've been a stay since, I always found comfort in people but i never found the right ones.. Stay as a fandom feels so nice to be around, like one huge family lmao, I feel stray kids came into evryone's life when they were at their lowest.. a friend thats so far but feels so close..? I don't know how to express my love and gratitude towards them.. I'm so grateful.. just them coming into my life felt like a blessing, without Stray kids I have no clue what I'd be. Stray kids are comfort, they're home.. channie's big hugs always made me feel loved and wanted <333 , lino's sarcasm and butthunting always kept the group fun and made me love him even more xD, hannie's adorable, fun and bubbly personality makes me feel so happy and makes my day!! <3 , lixie's voice and his aura just lights up the mood,that's why we call him our sunshine :), hyunjinnie's love for different artstyles ( painting, dancing, singing, etc ) is so fascinating and admirable <3 , Binnie's aegyo and I can't help but talk about his muscles my guy strong af TvT <3 , seungminnie's savage attitude and most importantly his adorable smile!! <3 , innie's iconic maknae moments and taking humongous bites of food :3!! I've adopted all these habits from skz and I use them in my daily life <3. For me ever since I heard the word "stay" it made me feel some type of way, somewhere I belonged perhaps? I don't know.. but If I ever get to see stray kids in real life which I think is close to impossible haha, the first thing I'd tell them would be.. "good job :) , you've come so far, you've done something not everyone can do, be proud of yourself! I really love you and I hope you never stop doing what you love.. you inspire billions of people around the world to be them and not fake being something they're not or can't be (including me). I hope you won't don't do things for the sake of us and take your own decisions which YOU want to follow, YOUR path. Whatever you'll do we'll surely support you, take good care of yourself, eat good, feel good, do what your heart pleases, you're perfect in my eyes no matter what. Never doubt yourself :)" and last but not least.. Stray kids. You. Make. Stay. Stay..”

“Stray kids is my home my real home they where there when I had no one in my life If I'm they always make me smile again No one understand how much I love them thank you Stray kids for saving me and my life I love you guys”

“It's true when they say that Stray Kids will come into your life when you needed them the most. I was going through a bad break up last year October-November when I stumbled apon this youtube short, it's Bang Chan's and Felix's interview with Eric Nam. In the youtube short Felix said he though the maximum star for a Michelin is 5 star until Bang Chan corrected him that it's 3. I got curious what song it was and looked up "cooking like a chef, I'm a 5 star Michelin" and discovered God's Menu. At first it wasn't really my vibe 😅😅😅 I talked to my niece (she's an ARMY btw) about it and she recommended Thunderous. I listened to it, same thought I think it's not my vibe. And then one day I decided to listen to them in shuffle on Spotify and the rest is history ❤️ Stray Kids has saved in me in so many ways. Apart from saying thank you to the kids I want to let them know that they deserve all of the good things that this world can offer. I want them to feel loved, safe and protected”

“Stray kids you guys saved my life, you helped me go through my darkest times , im so thankfull to have you in my life everytime hearing and seeing how you guys laugh, sing, dance and have fun i fell like i have 8 more reasons to live. Im feeling motivated just by looking at you, thank you for making my life happier. Stray kids you make stay stay.❣️”

“hello dear stray kids! are you taking good care of yourself? I want to thank you. you saved me from a terrible state. only your songs, your laughter and words gave me the strength to live. you are incredible, magical boys who inspire so many. thanks for your hard work, don’t forget to eat and sleep well. we really need you! we are all very worried about you!! we believe in you, in your music and we will be happy simply because you are happy! each of you is very unique! looking forward , love you! thanks for all!”

“Hi guys! It's been a month and a half since I started listening to your music. I'm really thankful to you all as you picked me up when I was really down. You made me smile again and you're helping me so much. I'll always love and support you all. You're really beautiful people and you deserve to be loved by all of us. Big hug 🫂❤”

“this time of me learning about you guys was very hard for me mentally. I don’t wanna get too deep into detail but before I found you guys I had a mindset the made me think why I’m still here standing. After watching ur guys content after an exhausting day at school helped me so much get through everything. You guys have helped me get motivated to find my interests in hobbies like photography, singing, painting/drawing. You guys have also helped me accept who I am as a person. Idk how I would be today if I haven’t known about you guys. Everything can be an emotional wreck sometimes but just seeing your content distracts me from my problems more than I need which I’m so grateful for. Nothing makes me happier than seeing you guys smile and happy, I wish and support all of you guys that u will always be successful and there for eachother! I’m sending so much love to you guys and stays! Stay healthy and safe! I love you channie! I love you leeknow! I love you binnie! I love you hyunjinnie! I love you hannie! I love you lixie! I love you seungminnie! I love you maknae jeonginnie! I LOVE YOU STRAY KIDS!🤍”

“Hiii Stray Kids !!! Wow, 5 months already since I found out about u guys, and I just want to say that I don't regret it at all 💗 From trying to memorise all your names, to listening and memorising song titles and lyrics, to watching Stray Kids' birthday live and singing 'Happy Birthday', to being there during comeback season for the 5 Star release, and so on. It's only been 5 months but it's been a very happy and joyful 5 months with u guys 🤗 U all are my happiness and comfort whenever I feel sad or just need motivation. I'm an Aussie STAY so I wanted to tell u guys that FNF is my fave song right now and it rlly touched me how u guys were thinking about us STAY in Australia 😭 U all have a long journey ahead of u and I hope I get to be apart of this exciting journey with u all. This is just the start. I LOVE U STRAY KIDS, HAPPY BIRTHDAY STAY AND LOTS OF BIG HUGS FOR EVERYONE 🤗🤗🤗💗💗💗”

“Hello STRAY KIDS<3

I've been a STAY for almost a year now, and it's the best and the brightest year of my life. Please take care of yourself. You make STAY stay <3”

“Hi Stray Kids, it's now been 4 years (precisely 4 years, 3 months and 29 days) since the first time I met you. I just wanted to say, thank you. Thanks for being there when nobody was there for me, thanks for making my world more colorful, thanks for letting me stay here, thanks for letting me find my place in the world. With a message I can't tell you how much you mean to me. You are my home, my second family, you are the brothers I didn't have. Even if you don't know who I am, even if you don't know me, you've been there. You took good care of me and for that I will be immensely grateful. Do you know that when I talk about you my eyes light up? That when I think of you I automatically smile? You, each of you is special to me. I hope that whenever you feel alone, useless or otherwise, you can read this message and remind yourself that you mean a lot to me, to us Stay. This message won't be as long as the others but, I hope I have conveyed to you the love and admiration I feel for you. I love you.

And remember: You make Stays stay!”

“My dear beautiful Stray Kids💗,

This month will be exactly my 11th month with you as a stay.Although I’ve known about you for some years i truly think the time you guys found me last year was fate.You guys saved me from the rough times that were in for me and i wouldn’t have made it out without you guys being with me,and altho i wish i were there with you earlier i feel like we found each other when i needed you in my life the most. Living life with skz at your side makes being alive so much easier.I cant even begin to thank you guys for all your effort you all put into loving stays and making this a safe place for everyone❤️‍🩹thank you for all you have done for me,you pulled me out of the darkest time of my life and showed me that there really is happiness and love.Thank you for everything and for existing,im so proud of you for making it this far and I love you guys so much i cant even express it in words, my love for you makes my heart ache.Please stay happy and healthy my skz💗-Bat”

“Stray Kids? Home. Just as Felix once said it. It's hard to explain what i feel towards them. I've been a stay for 5 months. They got me into kpop,they were my first group. Ever since that day,they never fail to make me smile even when i'm down. They really helped me much. Finding them gave me motivation to don't give up on school. I never thought I'll like some korean boys this much,but here I am. It's just impossible to not love them. They changed me,they gave me confidence,i finally feel like i'm home,i found my place! I found really great friends in this fandom,I couldn't be more thankful to them. I was lost,now i'm found,and yes i haven't been a stay as long as others,and it's my very first stayweek too. I just wanna hug them so bad,and tell them that they're amazing just the way they are,I would bring the stars for them. Chan, Lino, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, Jeongin...words can't express how much i love you! I'm so proud. Sending big hugs from Hungary<3 You made me stay.”

“Dear straykids,

You all have been one of the greatest things that have happened to me over the span of this year. I've never liked a music genre like this ever, and all of you make my little world light up my life just feels complete because if I ever felt down I'd open Spotify and listen to your songs day and night. You're the first K-pop band I've liked, and you forever will be the only band I like, and with that said, I'm glad to say I was here to stay. ❤️

One last thing,

If there are 100 straykids fans I'll be one of them, if there are 10 stray kids fans I'll be one of them, if there is 1 stray kids fan I am them, and if there are 0 straykids fans I'm dead🥲❤️”

“Hi stray kids, I don't know if this will be used or not even if it don't it feels god to finally let it out.

I got born into an abusive, sexist and homofobic family, I've never felt loved or safe. I didn't even have real friends I could trust. I basically didn't have any cycle there I could be myself. Thank you for being that cycle, ever since I joined the family I've finally found happiness and want to keep going in life, without your live's, happiness and smiles. Or the music you make, especially the song with a deep message. Felix you are my ult so I have a special message for you, your smile and happiness were the nr one thing that made me keep living. I can't even explain how much love I want to give back to you, ily lix and thanks for creating deep end, even though it's a sad song it feels like someone understands me and hugs me to sleep every night then I have a bad day. You are rlly me sunshine that makes my day lighter. Even your name hits deep "stray kids" which stands for lost kids, thanks for letting us stay and thanks for staying with us. I think skz is one of the few fandom that is actually genuinely saving real lives. Stray kids everywhere all around the world.

You make us stay. ❤”

“My boys... I love you very much. I just want to thank you to the 8 for keeping me here whenever I have been sad. Without you I don't know what I would do. Thank you Channie, for your big hugs, which kept me going. Thank you Felix for your happiness, which made me feel good in no time. Thank you Lee Know for your bubble messages. Thank you Binnie for keeping well for us. Thank you Hyunjinnie for those beautiful drawings. Thanks Hannie for those laughs. Thank you Innie for that characteristic smile of yours. Thank you Seungmin for being a pillar for the group. Stay healthy, drink lots of water and rest well. I adore you. Erika”

“Dear Stray Kids,

thank you for the past years. I've known you for some time now, although I only started to be a Stay a year ago, when my sister pulled me deeper into your music. Thank you for writing beautiful songs, comforting lyrics and giving me a chance to cheer up. Thank you for all your energy and passion that you continue to share with Stays. Thank you for making my sister a bit happier. Through you she found something that keeps her going and makes her smile. Through you we were able to grow closer and share a lot of beautiful moments. We started to listen to music together, which we never did before and we started singing loudly to your songs. Thank you for making us two so happy! I hope that you will always be happy too. As much as you comfort Stays, I hope you will be comforted too when you are facing hard times. Stays will always be with you and be happy for every step you take. Thank you Stray Kids! Until the last Step Out and beyond. You make us stay.”

“hey stray kids :) i’m so proud of each one of you and it has been a blessing to watch you guys grow. i haven’t been a stay for so long but i’m glad i am now. watching lives, skz code, preformances and music videos always make my day. whenever i feel down, i always watch some of those and it truly makes me feel at home. you guys are my home. and i don’t want to make this any longer but i really hope that you guys know that each one of you knows your worth. i utterly want to express all of my love and support for each one of you, the vocalracha with the most beautiful vocals i’ve ever heard, the danceracha with powerful movements and really great stage presence, and the 3racha with the amazing rap and music you guys produce. none of you deserve any hate or mistreatment from anyone. and i really hope other stays think the same as me. i love each one of you equally and i hope you guys find comfort in stays just as stays do find it in you ❤️”

“Dear Stray Kids, I have been a STAY for over a year now and you guys have been the light that brightened my life in the best way possible. At the time, I struggled with loving myself and panic attacks to the point where I felt lost and alone. Like a stray ironically. When I found your music, I was touched by the words in “grow up” to the point where tears were flowing down my face. Your music is so impactful and important to so many STAY’s around the world. You make a safe place for all STAY’s no matter what age, size, height, wherever they come from etc.. I will continue to support you and make sure to reciprocate the respect, love, and positivity you give to us STAY’s. I hope you continue to be successful and be able to share your talents with the rest of the world. Knowing that loved ones and STAY’s will always have your back. After all, you make STAY, stay ❣️. Love, STAY”

“Hello, I am a French Stay and I will certainly never have the opportunity to see you but I love you so much. You are the ones who help me in difficult times without even knowing it. You are a family to me and many others. I hope you’re taking care of yourself, although I’m sure you support each other. I love you so much, even more than my real family ❤️

~Your smiles are the most precious things~”

“Hi I'm not sure how to start but I really want to be honest. So.

I just want you to know that I love you terribly and I never want to forget you. You are helping me a lot to fight my problems.I'm always very happy when I see, for example, a new post on Instagram or a regular edit. you have changed my life for the better and I am very grateful to you for that.

I love you ❤️❤️❤️”

“My dear Stray Kids 🥺

You came into my life at the right time, opened a door I didn't know existed. You saved me. 💖 Words won't ever be enough to express how I feel about you. 💕 Even tho, I'm from the other half of the world, I've managed to meet awesome people, STAYs, because of you. 🌷🇭🇺 Everytime your song comes on my list, I smile. I can see you in the studio recording, in your room writing lyrics or on your break enjoying free time. 🥰 With every video, picture, message and song I fall for you even harder. 🌹 Your well-being, smiles and laughs brings the most joy into my life. When I'm with you, I feel safe. I've been around for one and a half years, and I'm not planing on leaving, never. 🦋 I'LL STAY FOREVER! 💖💖💖”

I have been struggling with my mental health for a long time now but I can proudly say that I feel way better than before, now that im in this beautiful fandom :) I wish I could write more but it’ll become a whole 500 pages novel if i did, so I’ll stop here T-T I am so thankful and lucky to be a stay, and I will always choose you guys no matter what. I will never stop loving and cheering for StrayKids. You make Stay, Stay. Thank you, stray kids! ☺️💙🤍

“Dear Stray Kids

You are the best thing that happened to me, i am so glad i got to know more about you guys. You always give me a reason to smile whenever i feel down and you are also the reason why i’m still here <3

I am so happy i started listening to “MANIAC” which led me to you 🫶🏼

stray kids everywhere around the world you make STAY stay 🤍”

“Dear skz, you have helped not only be but every single stay, you guys don't understand how much you mean to us, stays love you, and you love us, thank you all for protecting us, teaching us and helping us through all the bad tes and good times, STAYS MAKE STRAY KIDS STAY, Love from Ellie and stays”

“I may be older than your average fan, but they say Stray Kids comes into your life when you need them most and that couldn't be more true in my case. I feel like I have waited for your music my whole life, and you arrived at a very low point and changed the course of my life. I had been through some traumatic experiences, and I didn't know who I was anymore. Your music reminded me who I am, and gave me back to myself. I could never thank you enough for what your creativity has gifted me. But I have something I want to say to each of you.

Bang Chan: You absolutely glow with talent. You're practically radioactive. But it's the way that you are always striving and the way you give so generously to others which inspires me the most. That you would spend time with your fans every week (even if you can't do it anymore, which is fine) shows real love and care. Thank you.

Changbin: You have a shining confidence which has reminded me to have confidence in myself. You also inspired me to get back to the gym and I have never been stronger. Thank you.

Han: You are a true poet. You are so incredibly gifted and I am grateful that you share your talent with us all. Your lyrics have opened up my heart when I thought it was closed forever. Thank you.

Hyunjin: Darling boy, the way that you see the world and and convey it through your art - be that painting or dance - is truly beautiful. You are a gift. Thank you.

Felix: You make me genuinely happy just by being you. For a long time I had forgotten what genuine happiness felt like. Thank you. My five year old daughter would also like me to tell you that you are her 'most favourite'.

Lee Know: It is a privilege to watch someone so talented do what they love. When you dance, you shine. And you have the most divine singing voice; Limbo is a very special song for me. Thank you. And you have a very pretty face.

Seungmin: Your dedication to improving what was already an innate talent (your singing) reminds me that there are no limits to what we can do with ourselves. Thank you.

I.N.: You have a luscious voice. But it's the way that you have a certain sparkle about you that reminds me to live life with passion. Thank you.

I truly love you, and will be forever grateful that I found you.

Big hug, Juliette”

“Dear Stray Kids, Thank you for being the other reason i want to live. Thank you for healing hearts that you didn’t break. I wanna thank all of you for your hard work. I know its hard being an idol but..STAYS are here to support you. We will STAY will you forever even when tou guys disband. Thank you so much for making STAY happy again. You made us smile when we were sad. You inspired me to dance and sing well. You taught us STAYS to be kind no matter what. Thank you Stray Kids! You really make stay STAY! We love you!💗💗”

“Dear skz, Thank you for being there when I was at my lowest, y'all are my comfort and my happy place, without skz I don't know how my life would've been, I'm so happy I found you guys. Thank you for being my home ❤”

“Hey Stray kids. Ron here. It's been like 10 months since I started following ya'll. You guys have really changed my life and saved me when I was really down. I'm a teen and I've been going through a lot, I wasn't in the right state, when my life was hard, you guys were there for me, tho it was through a screen, I just felt more at peace with you guys than I do with my own family. Your songs have motivated me, made me cry, made my dance my soul out, made me sing along, just made me so happy. You're such an inspiration, all the hard work you guys have done and all the hardships you've gone through to reach till here, you deserve it all. I love you guys so so much and I can't live without you. You are the reason I'm alive today. I wish I can meet you in the future. Loads of love from India.”

“stray kids, you have saved me and truly made my life so much more worth it. keep doing what you’re doing, because we love you!”

“Dear stray kids,

since i first met you in early 2019 my life has changed so much. I found a reason to try, to work harder and become more stronger all thanks to you. when they said,

"you don't find stray kids, stray

kids find you' it hits deep because i truly understand what that means.

you have done so much for us and you try your hardest for everything, you have overcome challenges many people would find extremely difficult to pass, you sacrificed so much and still do to constantly bring to us the best. everything you do is done to perfection even if its little things. your music has become my comfort and the vlogs have become a reason for my happiness.

Chan you are the best leader, Lee Know you are the most warm-hearted person, Changbin your the most well formed and handsomest man no one can say otherwise, Hyunjin your beautiful the way you are whether your hair is long or short you look stunning either way, Han you are strong and amazing no matter what your going through, Felix your voice is one of a kind and your the best sunshine ever, Seungmin your smile is the most perfect incomparable smile ever, I.N your forever the beautiful, enchanting, striking person and i hope you don't change for anyone.i hope you all see you're perfect just the way you are and if not i hope you realise soon that there is nothing about you that should change.

i just want to end it off by saying that no matter what life brings i will always be grateful for you and will always appreciate the love and support you constantly shower us with. We are all proud of you.

i wish you all true happiness and that you stay happy forever. Thank you for existing, Thank you for being here with us, Thank you for everything you have given us. Please stay healthy and rest when you need to. I love you Stray Kids. Forever.

STRAY KIDS EVERYWHERE ALL AROUND THE WORLD YOU MAKE STRAY KIDS STAY”

“So, here’s my message to the kids:

Stray Kids annyeong!!

It’s been about 3 months since you guys(finally)came into my life. Like Channie said, you guys really did find me when I needed you most. When you found me, I had to leave all my friends from Japan to go to the US, and I was drained from a lot of things. I listened to Hellevator first, and I knew I had to stay. After that, I listened to skz-replay, and I fell in love with you guys all over again. Channie, Minho, Changbinnie, Hyunjinnie, Hannie, Lix, Seungmin, and Innie. All of your songs and lyrics make me feel at home, and they give me comfort. When I listened to Youtiful at midnight in my room alone, I realized how much you all love stays so much, and I cried listening to it. I also want to tell you how amazing you all are, that stays are always by your sides, and that you are “youtiful”.

So, I want to thank Stray Kids for being my miracle. I love you all like family, and I will continue to love you as long as I live.”

“Hi Stray Kids, it’s been just a couple months since I found you but I love you already so much, that my heart could explode of love. When I watch Videos with your chaotic stuff, I feel very happy. I’m also learning how to rap the english version of SLUMP. Thank you for being one of my three favourite K-Pop groups❤️You are YOUTIFUL the way you are. I hope that I can meet you one day! Make Stray Kids Stay❤️”

“Hi stray kids! How do i even begin? First off thank you soo much for everything you guys do to put a smile on our faces, thank you for the hard work and dedication, thank you for all the sweat, blood and tears you've put into everything you do. You have come a long, not so easy journey, but never gave up and i am so so proud of you. you don't even know how much i appreciate each and every single one of you, y'all are the reason why i am keep going in life. From the day i found you, you've became my home, my hope, my universe. Thank you for all of the laughs and giggles you've given me. I don't even know where i would have been if i didn't watch that one video of yours that day. Before i discovered you guys, i said that i would never get into kpop, but y'all changed that aspect of view for me, through your music. All of you inspire me so much, you give me strength to do stuff i normally wouldn't do. I feel that you don't know how huge of an impact you've had on many people. I aspire to be as hardworking as you all are one day. Sometimes i feel like we, this earth doesn't deserve such pure souls like you. all of you deserve the whole universe. I hope y'all are keeping yourselves healthy and not pushing yourself to the edge, but you know better, just know that what matters most is you and we will wait as mush as needed. ☺️ you make stay, stay ❣️ love you.”

“Dear stray kids❤️

I might not have known you for a long time but I’m surely gonna love you for the rest of my life, you bought me peace and make me smile, your little fun activities make me laugh and I don’t know how can I love someone so much.

Felix, you opened the door of stayville for me and it’s the best… everyone feels like a family, even you guys too, and Bangchan you locked that door and I’m so happy I met you guys. Each one of you is perfect from head to toe; So plz never doubt yourself for a second guys. I love you ALWAYS AND FOREVER ❤️ Harleen Kaur ❤️”

“Im joined during maxident era and i already love you guys sm!! your songs and preformances have helped me mentally and physically and i love you all so so so much. your existance is already more than enough, i love you all so much. we love you stray kids and were so proud of you! don't stress yourself out, keep up the good work loves, im excited for the future to come and what you have instore for us and the newer generation of stays! stray kids world domination!! 🤍✊🏾 #lovestay”

“I've been thinking, in the song Youtiful, it says "cause when you give me a glance I'm sure that I see the universe in your eyes." I believe that it is definitely true, because if you, Stray Kids, were to look into my eyes, you would see your own reflection in them because you looking in my eyes would mean that you're in front of me, but if others were in front of me and were to look in my eyes, they wouldn't see the universe in my eyes. Im proud to say that this is because you all are my universe.”

“I’ve only been a stay for a few weeks, but just in that short amount of time I have been happier then before, listening to your music and watching your lives, and learning about you guys and what makes you happy always makes my day better:) when you all laugh I laugh, your smiles make me smile, and being able to call myself a stay makes me the happiest person in the world. I love all of you so much and you deserve happy days forever❤️”

“What does Straykids mean to me... it's a question that I think about sometimes. Straykids is the light at the end of the tunnel. Straykids is the reason I got up every morning during the hardest times of my life. Straykids is the reason I am still alive. These 8 amazing, talented, hardworking men have had a very big impact on my life. They mean the world to me. Chan is like a comforting hug. He is such an amazing leader, talented singer, producer, rapper, dancer he does it all. He is such a compassionate person who makes sure everyone is seen. Chan makes sure that no one is left out. Lee know is such a talented dancer and singer, while he may seem cold on the outside he is such a warm and loving person. An amazing cat dad too! Changbin is so bright and bubbly, he is so talented and his presence is like a boost of serotonin. Hyunjin an amazing dancer and artist. His pieces each have their own story and is honestly breath taking. Han is an all rounder, he is such a talented person....That makes me think.... "what can he not do?" His adorable cheeks and smile make me so happy. Felix..... and well Felix.. this might sound biased because he is my ultimate bias (I love all members!) but Felix radiates happiness and warmth. He makes me want to protect him. The way he is so affectionate and loving to everyone makes me feel happy. Seungmin!!! Definitely the jokester of the group! His smile is so adorable and his jokes always make me laugh. Jeongin the maknae on top, our baby bread is always there for others. Straykids feels like home. Like the place I've been so desperately searching for. They bring me comfort and make me feel safe. I will never stop supporting and loving these amazing boys. So... thank you straykids. We love you <3”

“Dear Stray kids. It has only been a couple of months since I became a stay but they've probably been the best months of my life. I know it sounds corny but you guys have saved my life in ways you can't imagine. You'll never know how deeply grateful I am for each and everyone of you. I love you guys so much. I'm not very good with my words but please know that STAY supports you and loves you so much. Keep going, take a break if needed. Eat well and take care of yourselves. Stray Kids make STAY stay. ❤️”

“To my dear boys, thank you for being my safe haven. You slowly became someone I can rely on for happiness and for that I am forever grateful.

I might not be able to come support you in person but I will always be here cheering you on from my small corner of the world in Scotland.

Keep being yourselves and stay strong!

사랑해!!”

“Hi stray kids i've been spending all my days by your side for 3 years now and crossing your path has been the best thing that's ever happened to me. Thank you so much for everything : your messages, your love for Stay, your songs and especially for being yourself. You helped me when I was at my lowest and since then I haven't spent a single day without you. I would always be grateful to have been able to be born into the same world as you and to be able to grow up by your side. No words would ever be enough to express my love to you. Take care of yourself, eat well and stay healthy but above all be happy. I hope one day to have the chance to share these words with you in real life. I will always be by your side :)

Don’t let any haters drag you down because you’re amazing and you have so many fans by your side that love you <3 You saved my life and gave me a reason to be happy and to live, and I’m so proud to call myself a proud stay. I first noticed you during your MIROH era, and I was going through a really tough slump, but finding you really made me who I am today and I probably wouldn’t be here without your positivity.”

“What is my definition of happiness? Stray Kids. Who are my comfort people? Stray Kids. Who pulled me out of the deepest darkest cave and hugged me until I was myself again? It was the group who showed me happiness. Thank you for being there for me in my darkest times and in my happiest times. I will always be with you throughout the tears and the laughter. Chan. You are the best leader and so perfect in every way. You deserve the world. Thank you for making me feel special. To Changbin, you are so beautiful and please understand that you make me laugh so much with your personality and kindness. To Lee Know, you are one of a kind, a beautiful star. Soonie, Doongie, and Dori are lucky to have you. To Hyunjin, STAY loves you because of YOU you're personality! I wish I could tell you face to face how special you are and give you so much thanks for being the brightest star. To Han, my quokka, I wish you could see how perfect you are. We will always cheer you on through your tears and laughs. Hannie, everything about you is angelic and sweet. I love you and please know STAY will always be here for you. To Seungmin, your vocals and heart are so beautiful in every way. I love your savage moments and your heartwarming moments. You are more than just the main vocalist. Our star puppy, keep doing what you do best. And that is being yourself. To Felix, the person I relate to the most. Felix, you have come such a long way from where you started and hearing you laugh is my favorite sound. STAY sees you, and we love you. You will never stop being our sunshine. Felix, I know it's hard but we will get through this together. And lastly to I.N. MY star. You shine bright even in the deepest darkest pit. You are more than what they tell you you are. Jeongin, hear these words from me. Never stop smiling, you are so beautiful even when you just wake up and even when you don't feel well. Finally to SKZ as a whole, I love you. STAY loves you. You are like my second family even though you don't know me. Just know that I am here for you and I love you. I will cry when you cry and laugh when you laugh. I will be at as many concerts as I can to support you. My second family. SKZ, thank you. - Andrea”

“SKZ you are the soundtrack of my life. When my Grandma died Maniac made the pain bearable. Silent Cry helps me feel not alone at night. Felix's bday live got me through COVID. When Im having a bad day I hear the notif on bubble... Thank you for being beside me & creating the soundtrack for my life. I love you!! - Hannah Jane.”

“You guys mean the world to me. With out you guys I am nothing. You guys have brought me so much joy in every note and melody, and in every dance move. You guys make me smile again.

I love you all and hope you are doing well and if not GET REST,DONT OVER WORK YOURSELF!!!“

“Dear @realstraykids

You're surreal, and undeniably the best things that happened to me in 2023. Time flies when you're with me (through music and content ofc), and any hardships don't seem that hard anymore. You've been my pillars of support when I needed a shoulder to cry on, and you're also a major part of my happiest days. Life as an international student isn't easy, but coming across your content and getting invested in Stray Kids, to becoming a STAY, was a miracle I believe. You've encouraged me to not give up during the thoughest battles and to live life to the fullest. Your music, lyrics, creations bring me solace. Thank you for being you. I pray you get to achieve all your dreams. I hope you can always keep pursuing your passions and stride forward with your head held high.”

“Dear Chan, Felix, Jisung, Minho, Changbin, Jeongin, Seungmin and Hyunjin,

STAY is so incredibly proud of you! You broke records this year! You guys worked so hard to reach your goals and are reaching even farther beyond.

Hyunjin, you're such an amazing artist in everything you do. The paintings and drawings you make inspire me and warm my heart. The songs you sing and lyrics you write are amazing.

Seungmin, the way I love your voice. You sound angelic and I truly hope you'll never stop singing. Take your moment and shine like the bright star you are. 148, I love Seungmin!

Jeongin, our favourite maknae. I have such admiration for you. Being with 7 older members can be a lot. Just know STAY never forgets you and cheers for you. Never lose your smile dear Jeongin.

Changbin, what a great producer, rapper and lyricist you are! I love your confidence, your humour and your way with words. You seem like an awesome person with a heart of gold. Take good care of yourself, okay?

Minho, BEST DANCER! You speak your truth and we love you so much for it. Such an honest, thoughtful person. When there's something to gain, you better be sure I'll fight and win!

Jisung, my favourite rapper. Your composing, writing and producing skills are out of this world! STAY loves your humour, your soft side and your bright and bubbly self. You're such an all-rounder Han Jisung, I admire you.

Felix, I cannot stress enough how much I love your singing voice. Don't be insecure about it! I admire your courage, Lix. Your motivation to learn Korean (which has got so good!) and to remain standing in this industry must be difficult. STAY is always there to support you.

Chan. Our handsome, talented, hilarious, considerate, kind-hearted leader. This is YOUR group that YOU put together. That's not something anyone can do, especially not at your (old) age of halfway 50 ;). Chan, your commitment to producing, dancing, composing, singing, rapping, being a good role model and friend doesn't go unnoticed. Big hug from all of us! Stray Kids, you make our day every single day. Keep doing what you love and have a goddamn great time while doing so!

STRAY KIDS ALL AROUND THE WORLD, YOU MAKE STAY STAY.”

“Your brightness gets me through the dark times and helps me STAY. ❤️”

“Dear Stray Kids,

You remind me of home, of all the simple things in life, of light and the reasons I am not alone. You remind me of hope, you are my motivation and inspiration. There's so much I want to say to you but I don't know where to start, you were always here for us and changed all of our lives in many different ways. We are here to support you and we are here to STAY!”

“You guys... my StrayKids, are absolutely awesome! I Love your music so much. Anytime I listen to any one of your songs it puts me in such a good mood and more often than not, I really need that. I appreciate each and every one of you guys so much for all of your hard work. All of the effort you put into making StrayKids what you are today is amazing. You guys truly make StrayKids Stay. I Love you guys!!!♥️”

“Hi stray kids. I've only been a stay for 8 months, but it feels like it's been more than that. You guys are my pride and joy. I look at your videos when I'm feeling sad and lonely, and suddenly, I'm not lonely anymore, but I'm warm and happy. It's been a hard year for me this year, and you came when I needed you most. You inspire me to follow my dreams and strive for the best. Your music makes me so happy that I can't even describe it. My friends don't understand my obsession, but I don't care, because I know that all the stays here right now fully understand how I feel about you guys. You all have beautiful personalities. I love you all as much as I love my best friend, and that's a lot. I know you'll probably never see me, meet me, or even know I exist, but I'm always going to be here for you. I want you to know that stays love you, and will never leave your side. You know why? Because when times were tough, YOU helped us through it. So whenever times are tough for you guys, we're going to STAY with you. I wish I had found out about you guys earlier. I wish I had been there to support you in your earlier days, knowing that one day my boys would become worldwide sensations. There's always going to be haters out there, but that's always going to be the negative of being loved by so many people around the world. In some ways, you need haters in order to grow. As taylor swift says "haters gonna hate, but I'm just gonna shake it off" But don't even pay attention to those psycho haters. Pay attention to those who love you. Your family, your members, and STAY. Bangchan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N, you saved me from the darkest point of my life. I am going to love you FOREVER, even when my hair is gray and I'm having a wheelchair race with my friends at the nursing home. I may be way younger than all of you, but my feelings for all of you go up to undiscovered universes and back. Who knows what's out there, huh? I can't wait to discover while having you all in my heart, helping me push forward. You are the wings that help me fly. ❤️ I love you so much. You made ME stay.”

“우리 스키즈 안녕! 저는 엠마라고 하고 24살 프랑스 스테이예요!

제가 너무 힘들 때 스키즈를 알게되었고 그때부터 매일 매일 스키즈를 통해서 힘을 얻었어요. 정말 고마워요!

다들 너무 재능 많고 착하니까 우리 스키즈가 힘들 때 스테이도 늘 곁에 있을 거예요.

모르는 사이에 이런 말 하기에 어색하지만 너무 사랑해요

스키즈가 없었다면 저는 많이 힘든 시간을 보냈을 거예요.

슬플 때마다 노래를 듣고 메세지를 통해 미소 짓게 돼요.

정말 고마워요”

“Hi stray kids!

It’s been a little more over a year since I’ve staning skz and became a stay. Even though I haven’t been with you since the beginning, I feel like I’ve known you forever. I’ve found joy, excitement, passion, and feelings of safety within skz. I’ve found home❤️. Not only have you members got me into kpop and a new style of dancing, but you’ve also reminded me how beautiful humanity can be. You have shown me the true definition of friendship and the beauty of love. Seeing each and everyone of you members smile brings a warm feeling to my heart. You’ve been working incredibly hard so please remember that stay is always here to support you. We love seeing your human side because it reminds us that this environment you’ve created is a community. Please keep smiling and doing what you love. We love you stray kids, keep going!”

“Hi i just want to tell you what i want to said to stray kids in stay project.

“dear skz,

I became a stay in november (2022) when I was going through some stuff mentally, and I'm so eternally grateful I did. you guys have changed me so much for the better, and helped me get through hard times when nobody else could.

y'all have inspired me to do things out of my comfort zone (singing, dancing, etc), and have made me much more confident in myself! I can't imagine what I would do if I didn't become a stay.

please take care of yourselves, ilysmm!! <33”

“Woah my very first stay bday w skz. I can’t believe its been 10 months on this journey with you guys by my side. If i hadn’t stumble on a “Stray Kids Funny Moments” compilation i wouldn’t be here today. I don’t think there are enough words to describe how impactful Stray Kids has been in my life. You guys helped me climb out a really difficult time in my life. You guys are the reason i started to treat myself they way i deserve to be treated. Your music continues to inspire and fill me with ambition. The Stray Kids charm never failed to make me laugh till i cry. Your kindness taught me to be a better human being. And your dedication taught me to be disciplined and to never give up. This may be my first Stayweek, but it won’t be the last. Until the last step out and beyond!”

“Hey stray kids! You guys made my whole life better, as soon as I found out about you all. I'm going to tell each of you the real meaning I love yous all! <3

Firstly channie!! You have made me cry so so many times, your warm words make me tear. You have taught me the importance of loyalty and that you should always help others!!

Minho! Your unique personality and dedication sets you off. As the oldest dancer in the group, you are a role model to me. Your not afraid to be yourself and that has led to me being more free!

Changbin! Your rapping skills are divine really. You have also taught me about dedication. Going from a vocalist to rapper is very rare and you slayed. And you definitely have the best aegyo<3

Hyunjin!! Your soft vocals and sharp choreography are beautiful!! You inspired me to do more art and the importance of being calmness. But, we are both dramatic at heart!! <3

Jisung! Your powerful lyrics and expressions make you empowering. I always find peace when I listen to your songs like HAPPY, ALIEN, RUN and I GOT IT! keep slaying😻

Felix!!! You are such an inspiration. From your light innocent personality to your deep, serendipitous voice and overall kindness. You were the first member I found and I have a special connection when I hear your voice. Your dancing, immaculate! Thank you for always being there for stay<3

Seungmin! I'm such a better friend because of you! Wow, your voice is angelic and makes me feel like I'm floating! Your humor always makes me fall off my chair 😄

Innie! Our golden maknae, all rounder!! Your voice puts me into heaven, speaking of heaven, your visuals are as perfect as a divine beauty. You have such a pretty voice, I can't get over it, really!!

Overall, stray kids. Without you, I would not be where I am. Thank you so so much. All love, araya”

“Thank you for finding me, thank you for being my strength, thank you for being you. Untill the last step out and beyond ❤️”

“To the 8 most special stars in the universe.. thank you for bringing your heart and soul into your music and giving us the gift of listening to them. I'm so proud of each one of you, your incredible voice, rapping, dancing and hard work will always go noticed by us who support you no matter what. Remember there's always more people who love you"

“Hi Stray Kids, it's funny how a few years if you told me I would be a kpop fan I would have laughed at your face, sideyeing you as we say. But it's been a almost 2 years now and I proudly consider myself a stay. I wish all these made-up ideas about this genre stopped me from even consider the possibility to listen to this music. Imagining all the possibilities of discovering you earlier, is a fun hobby of mine, but you, Stray Kids just came at the right time. I was a huge fan of tower of gods and was waiting when the first season got out for a few more episodes and missed these two bangers : Top and Slump are dope. I also had a few friends recommending kpoo but sadly I didn't find my jam in some group's music (this is in no way offensive, it's just a matter of personal preference❤). I love every and each of you, wholeheartedly, for helping me again during this rough year. Ex, Stars and raindrops, FNF, Collision, Volcano, Deep End, Another Day, Sunshine, Time Out, countless of healing songs have your copyright, so I thank you again, as I've always done for producing, delivering, amazing music every year, for giving me motivation, for giving me a purpose, a goal in life, and helping me find my passion. THANK YOU STRAY KIDS💓, rest well, take care, et tout le tralala as we say in French, Bahng Christopher , Lee Minho, Seo Changbin, Hwang Hyunjin, Han Jisung, Lee Felix, Kim Seungmin, Yang Jeongin, HAPPY STAY DAY”

“thank you so much for everything. this past year has been so hard for me but I've gotten through it knowing that if I keep going I'll be able to follow your content, hear your new songs and hopefully one day attend one of your concerts. I'll keep going, I won't give up, because of you.”

“STAY is here for you stray kids, so don’t give up. Stay healthy, rest well, and love yourself💖

Stray kids makes us STAY✨”

“Dear Stray Kids,

Each of you individually makes me happy in some way; IN you proved to me that I can go ahead and be my extraordinary self, Seungmin your smile makes up all the bad days I had please don’t hide it, Felix you’re such a ray of sunshine you make me want to protect you and cherish you like my younger brother, Han you are like the older brother I always wished for, Hyunjin you always inspired me creatively, Changbin you are like a beautiful flower that was wronged yet it bloomed so gracefully, Lee Know thank you for making me realise that I can show my emotions in different ways and Bang Chan, thank you for making me realise that I’m worth it, so please do Love yourself.

Stray Kids,as a STAY, I will stay and not leave you at all.”

“Hi guys !! What do I start with first haha? 😅 I wanted to say a big thank you to this group that I love so much, how much I was able to discover a whole other style of music, as a style of kpop aside! Unfortunately, you weren't the first band I was able to discover but thanks to the various styles, I like to be able to find my way really <3 you are really pure fallen angels from heaven, you are just amazing if we don't tell you enough! You are funny, you make me laugh, sometimes even to tears, you are caring and warm, what a great group of friends! Never doubt yourself, promise me! You've come a long way to get here, I can see that! You are great and you will rise even more I promise you! ☺️ I was able to discover you at the very beginning, towards My Pace and later still by God's menu! I was truly impressed and intrigued by you

I can clearly tell you you are my favorite band of all time, and I don't weigh my words haha! I'm going to make each a little note for each member afterwards! First of all for Bangchan, otherwise Chris or Chan. You were after in my ult and my bias of heart. You weren't the first member I noticed, but now you are hehe! You're a great producer and you'll go far, don't doubt yourself big guy! You are one of the most intentional and warm people I have ever seen in my life, I assure you. I love you very much and don't waste your health, I wish you well and all of us, as a stay, we know how it feels :( all this hate is a lie, fight against it! One last word, stay as you are and I hope to see you again soon ! (Yes I have already seen you at the musik bank and you waved at me in my direction, at least my category!) Félix now! You are an incredible bias! You make me smile when things are not going well, you really wear the nickname of the sun haha! I hope to see you again soon and stay like you are brownie boy ;) (you will go far!)”

“I really can't put down in words how grateful I am for you all for the past 9 months. I was trapped in a very bad and dangerous place but then you guys showed up with your incredible talent, your healing voices, your big hearts and offered me your hands to gently help me get out of there. I can't do much but I can promise I'm gonna STAY around as long as you need me to (probably even after that), so keep doing what you love, dream bigger and bigger, go higher to the top cuz that's where you belong and deserve to be. I'm gonna be here to give you love, strenght and support. You're all doing such a good job and I'm proud of every and each one of you. Thank you so much for letting me stay and let's enjoy this amazing journey together. I love you 3000 🩷 - Jessica🇮🇹”

“Straykids. The group I found out about when I was scrolling through YouTube cuz I was bored and came across thunderous mv and got hooked to each member immediately. Learnt the rap and the chorus even tho I don’t even speak Korean. It’s been two years as a stay now and I can’t express how much love I have for those 8 adorable humans. U guys helped me through a lot and made me learn how to love myself as well as others. Channie’s rooms were always my comfort lives I would just play them while eating and have the best time as if I’m there with him. Our leader thank you for creating this group and giving us big hugs and loving us unconditionally. The members are amazing and special in their own ways and you all are extremely talented. I’m proud to be a stay and I’m proud I’ve been with straykids for two years. I love you guys please continue to love me and accepting me even more than anyone ever did.

-a proud stay”

“Stray kids: I love you, I'm so proud of you, and I will always be by your side. 🤍”

“Hii straykids, I've been currently a stay for a year and it's been a really fun year although I haven't went to any concerts yet I'm glad that you guys get to make us stay, far away from you able to laugh and enjoy all your videos and get to be with you. Stay is the most luckiest to have such an amazing group. Stray Kids everywhere all around the world. ❤”

“Dear Stray Kids,

I hope my words reach out to ya’ll but even if it doesn’t, never forget that this STAY is here to staaaaaaa. You will probably read it and/or hear it millions of times about how much you are loved and respected – but that’s not going to stop your STAYs from expressing themselves!

It’s funny how one day while scrolling on Instagram, a clip of Hyunjin-ssi fighting off those insects with a repellent had me smiling. I sent it to my friend and told her that this guy…is adorably funny! And moments later, my entire explore page was filled with skz content (Stray Kids domination indeed!!) and believe me when I say this, you guys had me gasping for air (in a good way…hehe)!! And that’s when I rushed to youtube, and searched “Stray Kids” and from that day onwards, you have another member join the family.

Love,

A STAY from Pakistan 🇵🇰❤️”

“Message for our skz

You guys came into my life when I had no hope, just living day by day. You have brighten and given joy to it. I am so proud of the men you have become and will be. You are not just pretty faces, you a amazing human beings that deserve the world and more. You're hard work is starting to give fruit. Don't give in to the pressure of fame. Hyunjin, my love, almost everyone is in love with your beautiful face but for me it is you as a person. How funny and adorable you are. Lee Know, I see so much of my personality in you and I thought there couldn't be someone almost like me. Of course we only know what you show us but what you show is amazing! I really enjoy watching you. You are so important to me. Han, my funny prince, I know right now you are going thru a rough patch but what worked for me was a saying. "This too shall pass" nothing is forever. Fighting! Chan, baby all I want is a hug from you. Love you Daddy! And the rest thank you for being my happiness”

“Dear Stray Kids,

I want to tell you a story of how I became a STAY.

In 2020, I first heard “TOP” and “Slump”. I fell in love with them. I asked my bestie about you guys (as she is a big kpop girl while I am more of an epop girl.)

Fast forward 2 years later in 2022, I told my bestie, if I were to stand a kpop group, I would stan Stray Kids. From that day onwards, I became a STAY.

It was like fate that brought us together. I love every single music you have created, from group music to solo. I love how your music relates to not only me, but everybody in the world (yes, that includes that one liner from “EX” 😂) I love how you create music in your style which is very unique.

Every member taught me so much, not only through the musics, but also the lifestyle and personalities. You make me a better person.

Thank you for being in my life, creating amazing musics, being a group that I can look up to. No amount of words can expressive the love and gratitude I have towards you. Thank you for everything! I will never stop loving every single one of you, and that’s a promise ❤️ You make stay stay”

“dear stray kids, you guys are seriously one of the best (or the best) kpop groups in the world! i’m a pretty new stay & just discovered you guys a few months ago, but ever since then i’ve felt happier than ever. each and every one of you guys have a special place in my heart and all of your songs bring me so much joy! i hope you all know how important you are to every single Stay around the world! i hope to visit one of your concerts soon! Love, Another Baby Stay ❤️❤️”

“All stays love you and appreciate all your work,kindness and smiles<3”

“Dear stray kids, I became a stay last year, when I almost gave up on life but then I found you guys. Because of you I feel completed. Even tho you don’t know me personally or know that I exist, I still love you all like family❤️❤️You guys feel like home the one I never had. You were there when I needed someone the most so I thank you to each member for bringing a smile on my face. And I’m really sorry about the death threats and bullying you all have received but at least you’re all are ok😁💗also please try to get sleep and take care of yourselfs. Also try to ignore the hate, you guys have the real STAY who would never ever be hunk to hurt you💓💞💗”

"Ever wonder how it feels to find yourself a real home? I know the feeling, ever since I became a stay my life has been full of joy. Some moments were sad, others funny but it felt like real happyness. Even now, I've cried some nights... but then skz came along to lighten me up. Even though i knew they didn't know who i was. I felt as if they communicated with me. Seugnim don't hide your smile, its BEAUTIFUL! Hyunjin, don't worry abt the hates bc us stays will never hate you, you're PERFECT! Felix, keep on being the sunshine you are. Even in hard times you are THE BEST! I.N, you're just soooooo hellaa CUTE, Please never stop smilling bc if u do ill cry. Bang Chan, HAVE MORE CONFIDENCE IN YOURSELF, DON'T SAY U HATE YOURSELF CAUSE YOU'RE AMAZING! AN AMAZING LEADER, DANCER, PRODUCER, SINGER, AND MUCH MORE!!! Changbin, you are just so awsome, your rapping skills to vocals are just out of this world. Keep on being yourself NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAIS!! Han, Most stays can see that you've been sad these days. Whatever it is, just know us stays we're all here for you. YOU ARE PERFECT DON'T THINK OTHERWISE PLEASE! Last but not least, Lee Know... I have so many things to say... Ever since u became my bias. It never changed. The day u got eliminated in thr predebut, i cried and cried because u cried. I don't like seeing any member cry, but you, you made me rethink that maybe if u aren't good enough i can't be anything. You're to perfect to exist, I HOPE U NEVER, NEVER HAVE TO CRY AGAIN.

Stray kids, i love you all and please, please never stop being yourselves. My home isn't a place, its a who, and the Who is You... I never realised how You've helped me live through this day. When i think back i don't think i would be okay without you guys. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!! STRAY KIDS EVERY WHERE ALL AROUND THE WORLD💙❤️💜🧡💚🖤💕💞🤎💘💝💛💓💟❣️💗💖”

“stray kids, I’ve only been a stay for five months, but let me tell you that those five months have been the best ever.

“Dear Stray Kids,

I cannot even begin to express how proud I am of each and every one of you. You truly deserve the world, and always remember how much STAY loves you alI. I don’t think you know how much you truly changed the lives of your fans for the better. You have become a safe place for me when I was at my lowest and so in any way I can I try to make you feel just as loved as I do. Please remember to love yourselves and to stay healthy. Chan, remember to take some breaks for yourself, you deserve it. You are such a wonderful and loving leader. Lee Know, continue to be yourself, and to shine just the way you are.

- love stay 💌

"It’s strange to write something to you, people who seems so far away from me, both physically and mentally in certain situations, but at the same time so close to me that I can feel your love, your hard-work and your joy directly into my heart.

I’m not a so-called “old stay”, I’ve been in this journey for an year more or less, but in this twelve months I smiled with you, crying and laughing with you, I lived a part of my life that will never be the same, and I’m thankful for that.

This sound cheese I know, but you eight are literally changing my life for the better, each and every single one are healing something that you didn’t break in the first place, just as a friend will do.

Even if in five, ten years I will not lister to your music anymore (that won’t happen I promise) I will always cherish this six boys from Korea and two boys from Australia, thank you for everything. P.s. English is not my first language so sorry for the mistakes but ehy, thanks to you I’m learning to embrace*"

"Hello Stray Kids,

I'm sixteen now, but I feel like I'm 30. I can't be myself at home, at school, with my friends, next to anyone, and no one accepts me because I can't be me, everyone says don't change, I can only be myself while listening to you. You made me accept myself. Thank you so much for making me love it.

StrayKids are 8 angels who save our lives and help us live a better life. We are chasing our dreams with your support and strength. We always take you as an example to become successful individuals like you. You all do great work all the time never doubt, don't feel low because you guys are very talented and good at your job, stay proud of you! Please continue to achieve more success. We will always support you, we love you!!"

“Skz I just want to thank you for being you thanks to you I’m still here. You have changed my life for the better and I’m so grateful. I love you all dearly and I can’t wait to see what you do next. I hope to see you in concert soon✨”

“Stray kids, I don’t even know where to start, every single one of you have taught me so much since I became a STAY. Stray Kids is the feeling of walking into a warm room after spending the whole day in the cold. Don’t be so hard on yourselves, every single one of you are so so incredibly talented I’m so proud of you! Each of you have personalities that light up my life and give me hope. Every single one of you. Thankyou so much for your existence and hard work, I’m so proud of you! Love from STAY 🤍🤍”

“Hi, I don't even know where to start! You don't know I exist, but you guys have helped me get through the hardest times♡ words can't express the amount of love I have for you in my heart and I will STAY until the end(get it "stay" hehe) I am so thankful I found that one meme and that one song that helped me find you

Now, I can't go a day without listening to your guys' music and watching your guys' videos

I think that if I wouldn't find you, my life would be incomplete

Again, tysm for making amazing music and helping all of us stays to get through our day witha smile

I love you sm again<3”

“Dear Skz❤️ ever since you came into my life it felt like a light in the dark for me. It's been countless times that i've felt happy and motivated with your music, but also like a warm hug from someone who understands me when things are down. We are not perfect but we keep going, finding our way together and growing stronger❤️ Thank you guys for always reminding me stay true to myself. We'll become the brightest star✨”

“Stanning Straykids was one of the best decision I have made. They all have such a special place in my heart and are my biggest source of happiness. Each member is so talented and beautiful, everything they do is so well done!!!... Recently I had to speak on the stage for my school competition and I have stage fright, the night before the final day I was filled with anxious and nervousness but after watching some really comforting words said by Straykids and also the way they perform on stages with so much energy and confidence i became so confident and I came back with a trophy in my hand❤️...All of their vocals, dance moves and effort they put in making music is all so amazing. Straykids taught me how to love myself and they inspire me so much. Their vocals, dancing, music, visuals, choice of words are all so outstanding! I am grateful for them all!!”

“You have helped me a lot about how to behave when i had hardest time in my life. And when I was tired of really living, getting to know 8 perfect men like you and the fact that there are still such miraculous people in the world reminded me not to lose hope.Thank you for always being there for us and making us feel. Stays will always be with you and support you. I love you more than forever. You make Stay Stray Kids💙🌼”

“ First of all, what I write is completely true and my sincere feelings. When I first met Skz, some things were not quite right in my life and I was unhappy at that time. When I got to know them, I was a little happy watching the talkers and their performances. My eyes fill with tears when I remember that they all love, care for, support, and stand by each other as if they were family, and the bonds of friendship between them. Also, it is really admirable that they work with a regular discipline. All of them are worth a diamond in my eyes. They helped me achieve some things with their songs that inspired me. If I am happy today, skz has its share. As I always say, thank you Chan, Lix, Han, I.N, Lee know, Changbin, Seungmin, Hyunjin.

How you were next to the stays, you will always be at the stays and of course me too. Always keep shining like a diamond💕 -hamburger 🍔”

“Dear Stray Kids,

Thank you for touching my life like a magic wand, illuminating the darkness and making life bearable in thi difficult, tiring and often overwhelming life filled with unkown.

I owe a lot to these 8 people who helped me cover up the pain while feeling "the kind of pain that frightened children feel when they suddenly wake up in the pitch black night and feel completely alone."

I don't know what the future will bring, but l am damn sure of one thing that l will see that group of people smiling at me from far away and l will respond with a smile and just say "thanks for everything, sincerely."

I am not sure what will happen to us in the next life, but l am glad that the time period l will spend here, on earth coincides with you and l have glad that you have visited my life.

And you know the world is small, maybe one day we will meet.

I love you more than you'll ever know. Take care. -sabiha”

“i want to thank Stray Kids from the deepest of my heart. for always caring us and show us the love all the time, even at the hard times. finding Stray Kids was my biggest luck. you guys saved me, saved my life. i wasn't pleased from my life until i met Stray Kids. i learned how to love myself, how to take care of myself when I'm down. And I'm learning how to live day by day. Thank you and love you guys so so much. -zuzu”

“Even if sometimes you struggle and don't do your best you're still giving your all to the people around you. And that's what I want to be able to do. Be the person that is the unrelenting light in the dark of bad moments for those around me. Thank you for being one of the reasons my friends are smiling, crying from sadness and laughter, and being excited to tell me about your new song, post, or tweet. The reason their face lights up with excitement when I tell them about some aspect of your work I admire.

Thank you for being the light in the dark for them, filling their heart with hope and happiness and love for the simple details in life. Thank you for keeping them safe and happy. Thank you for giving me a way to build a strong friendship with the most amazing people I know and who saved my life. Please keep the light in your kind hearts shining bright to light up hope in others <3

With admiration and respect,

Magnus Ž.”

Let’s live a healthy life and be together till infinity and beyond!!!

“Hey SKZ, it's been a wild ride, hasn't it? It's been a year now, man time has flown by! You grabbed me in Oddinary & never let go. You were my first KPop group I listened to, boy did you ever set the bar high for my music tastes! I wish I'd been here since you guys debuted, but as I've seen everywhere in the lovely land of STAYville, I didn't find you guys, you found me when I needed you the most & boy, is that the truth. A year ago, I was working in retail and hating it, and now I'm doing a job that I love! I now have a lovely girlfriend (I've known her 12 years this year) who I'm so lucky to call my own, & who is as big of a STAY as I am! You have been a light especially these past few months where my life hit a bad rough patch, & you helped get me through it, so thank you. You guys are my safe place, my home. Thanks for existing, for being a huge burst of love, light, laughter, joy, and positivity! Love all 8 of you! ~ Sarah 💙”

“Hey guys, I had so much fun by seeing y'all had fun. Y'all inspired me so much. You protected us and now it's our turn to protect Skz and we'll stay together. Chris you're amazing leader, Changbin you're the strong person, Seungmin you're the best singer cause you do have the amazing voice, Lee Know you're not scary person, I.N. you're always beautiful person, Han I'm so glad that you met your idol Tiger JK, Hyunjin I really love your art style, and Felix you're kind, sweet, and pure heart person. You're my bias and I learned how to love myself. No matter how much you care about us, we cared and love you so much. When you feel emotional, I'll send a huge hug even I felt the same as you do. As long that we stay together, more love and comfort we get. We will be together as always! Y'all made us to stay happy and treated like a family! It's like all of y'all gave us a present. But the special present that I received the most is all of you! Gracias Stray Kids! Love from Dallas, Texas💙💜”

“hello my loves, I want to ask you a simple question but unfortunately almost nobody asks you ... how are you? You look fine? If you are fine, we are fine too. I just wanted to tell you that you did a good job, you worked hard to give us all this and we are grateful for life. You started from 0 up to 100 completely alone and for this you are a source of inspiration for us. Thank you for sharing your life with us, we are grateful, now and forever. My pride in you cannot be deciphered, I love you as much as my own life. If you're having a hard time cling to STAY, and we'll do the same for you.

“Dear Stray Kids,

Like any other Stay, the first thing we wanna thank you is for gifting us with your talents and musics, it saved many lives and helped many souls. For me, youre not just bunch of idols, you guys are more. You guys feel like friends, feel like a family or a home that we can come back to whenever we are tired of this world. Feel like a tall glass of sweet iced tea after a long tiring day in the summer. So later in the future, when youre older and feel down or feel negative about yourself, just remember, you changed the course of many lives for the better. And that is enough. You guys are more than enough. #lovestay #staymessages”

“To my 8 lovely Stray Kids members…

They have been a part of my life for more than a year now, and I’ve never felt so happy, and loved in my entire life. 💗

I’ve learned about them from a close friend of mine. She was always talking about Stray Kids, and I’ve always listened to her, I think I was doing that because I secretly was falling in love with the kids. 😂 At some point, I started learning their names, listening to some of their musics…

and then there’s Chan…Chan just makes me feel so relaxed, he makes me want to rest, he feels like getting a BIG HUG. The relationship he has with us is so precious, and simple, and I love it. Channie, I love you so so so much 💗 AND THE KIDS, I don’t know what my life would be like without them all !!!!!! Before they came into my life, I was really feeling bad about myself, and I was not confident at all about the work I was doing for school. I was always overthinking, but it gets better and better, those things takes time… They just make me want to do my best, and to be proud of myself. They became my safe place, a place were I can rest, feel confort, a place that feels like HOME. 🏠 I’m so proud to be a part of this fandom, this big family and… I’M SO PROUD TO BE A STAY !!!!!! THANK YOU STRAY KIDS

I LOVE YOU ALL AND I WIll ALWAYS STAY BY YOUR SIDE. « There will be no last step out » 💗💗”

“hey straykids, I just wanna say that your music has been there for me during some of my darkest times. It’s been my comfort, my hope, my safe place. I can’t begin to express how much I love and appreciate your music. It’s been a constant light in my life, and it’s helped me through some really tough times. Your songs have become part of me, and I carry them with me everywhere I go. Your music means the world to me, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You’ve been my source of joy, comfort, and strength, and I’m forever grateful for everything you’ve done. You guys are truly special, and I love you so much!”

“Dear Stray Kids, Thank you for all your efforts! Bang Chan’s warm hugs bring me comfort! Lee Know’s concern for us melts my heart! Changbin’s laugh makes me laugh! Hyunjin’s drawings bring me joy! Han’s songs bring me comfort. Felix’s kind words make me cry! Seungmin’s smile makes me happy! Jeongin’s joy makes me happy a lot! I can’t describe how good Skz’s songs are! They never disappoint!

“As someone in their 40s I tend to get some side eye when people find out that I'm into K-pop and J-pop. My response is always the same, good music has no age limit. The music Stray Kids have created over the years has seen us all through good and bad times. It has helped us smile and even cry, allowing us to move on and get past the obstacles life has put in front of us. Thank you for the music. Each comeback is better than the last, and I can't wait for the next one. 🫶”

Its all because you guys that I feel more confident in my body, and stopped doubting myself often, I know this is true for alot of other STAYS too.

Han, you are so talented and hilariously funny. Though you struggle from anxiety, you handle it really well. love your laugh and how you make everyone laugh (especially hyunjin). No matter what other people say, you are the kindest, most talented person ever. I love you

Felix, you are such a bright person. You are sunshine I know that you have been getting some hate and criticism from some, us STAYS have been on the edge since then. But just know that you are perfect, and we love your smile and how you make Stray Kids smile. I love you

Seungmin, you are technically the comedian of the group, and I love you for that, though you make Chans life as a father of 7 more difficult. you are very inspiring and your singing is

just❤️ I love you

I.N, last but not least, our maknae on TOP! I.N you are everyones favorite maknae and you came such a long way since then, you improved so much, and us STAYS and Stray Kids noticed that. You are so talented too make it where you are now. Baby bread i love you

“My message to them:

Hey stray kids! Sorry this message is in English cause it’s all I know 😭 I got into you through a friend and I wasn’t really expecting to like music I wasn’t sure I could understand but the music itself is just so powerful that I can’t stop listening to it. I’m pretty new to the stray kids fan community but I don’t let that stop me from liking you guys a lot, you feel like home when I see your smiling faces and it makes the hole in my body a little more full so I thank you for keeping me alive through the power of music”

I look forward to the TikTok videos, vlogs, lives, music, and YouTube videos that you post, and it helps make my day better. You are all talented and produce amazing music. 5 star was really good and I could tell how much effort you all put into it! Thank you for worrying and asking simple questions to stay, such as, “have you eaten?” or when you would talk or send videos to us on bubble. I am truly thankful for you being a part of my life. ❤️💗🧡💛💚💙💜”

“Stay is so proud of you, you should all take care of each other and produce some more great music, you all shouldn't be insecure you all are perfect as you are. Stay is always supporting you. We stays love you”

"Guys,

If on that days your songs didn't randomly started, probably I wouldn't be here to write, so I owe you my life, for real.. You constantly help me to find the key inside me and make me belive that I can do everything and that there's a lot to live for… Chan is my safe and happy place, where I'm snuggled up when life hits hard, or when outside is cold or after a long Saturday at work, Lix and jisung are so sweet, Lee know and seungmin always make me laugh, Binnie's the best rapper alive, and I can't get enough of his rap, Hyunjin always leave me speechless with his dance and his art, Our baby bread I.n is so cute.. I am so grateful to all of you. Guys you're the soundtrack of my life and probably I would be lost without you in the life.. Thank you for just existing...

Love you all, Ng"

“Dear Straykids,

You guys mean the world to me. Thank you for being such happy and kind people. I wish you guys the best. Pls take healthy breaks and take care of yourselves!! 💗💗”

“Stray Kids, you guys helped me when school was hard, and when life just felt meh, and that is something I'll always feel grateful for. I love you guys! ❤️”

“Hey Stray Kids ! Hope you are doing great ! It’s been now a year and half knowing you and I would like to say thank you for everything you have done. A friend who is a stay told me « you don’t find stray kids, they find you when you need them » and she was right. It has been a hectic year but with you by my side it was less painful I could say. Just by listening of your song or just watching a video and I know I would feel better. I know that by joining the fandom I found a home and you make us feel safe and loved and a massive thank you for that. I’m very proud of you, of what you have accomplished throughout all these years. Thank you so much for everything and I love you. You make Stay stay 🤍”

“Hi Straykids,

I thought I was the one who found you guys late, but it turns out I found you when I needed you the most.

Thank you for being Stray Kids. Thank you for everything you did for us, STAYs.

“Dear,

Stray Kids, I have been a Stay since the summer of 2022. I wish I had discovered you guys way sooner, but thankful that I discovered you at all. You have changed so many people’s lives with your music and spread lots of different elements and meaningful things to your music. I swear a day hasn’t gone by without me listening to your music whether it’s me studying or me just chilling in my room. To thank you all individually, Bang Chan you are an awesome leader of the group, Stray Kids. Your singing is rich and pure. You have put so much love and hard work into your career, you are loved so much by fans. Lee know you are a great dancer. I think you can do any dance cover and you are a Calm and loving person. Changbin’s rap skills are incredible. You write so many meaningful lyrics. Hyunjin, your singing is stunning. The paintings you draw are so beautiful. Han is a great producer. Your vocals are great. Felix is a great rapper and dancer, you have an amazing unique voice. Seungmin, your vocals are out of this world, your voice is so smooth and soft. I.N When you smile it always brightens my day. I.N your vocals are so calming. Stray Kids, you all have worked so hard and sacrificed so much for us you are deeply loved all around the world.”

“I remember last year, there was a period I was very sad because I lost someone really close to me. I was trying to distract myself with the magical world of the internet and there it was: the music video for 'Maniac' I was intrigued and wanted to find out about more of your music. I think it's so cool you produce it all yourselves, so much talent... Thank you for everything you do, and Im grateful that your music reached me in a time I needed it. It brought a boost of power and solace ...Love, Esther 💕🦋”

“HIIII STRAY KIDS, Ahhhh where do I begin…it’s going to be so hard to put my love for Stray Kids into words. I became a Stay around 3 years ago and it was the best decision I ever made! These past 3 years have been filled with such beautiful moments, all thanks to SKZ. Even in the moments when life was rough SKZ always brought a smile to my face. I can’t thank SKZ enough for making me so happy! I hope that all the Stays around the world also bring the same happiness to SKZ ❤️. Stays love you so so so much! SKZ’s songs are something that I will truly cherish for the rest of my life. I know that in the future when I look back at these moments I will remember all the beautiful emotions I felt. Once again thank you Stray Kids for being you! Stays will always be by your side 🫶🏼 I can’t wait to see what the future holds💕 Love ya lots, Day”

“Dear Stray Kids,

I need to thank you, because I found you during a very difficult time in my life when I felt truly astray. I felt so lost that I had decided to end it all, but then I listened randomly to Lonely St. I still remember how much I cried, because i felt so seen and understood. This is how i found and fell in love with your music. You gave me the strength to go on, I found again my passion. Thank you for your smiles, care and amazing music. Especially to Chan, that made me feel less alone with Channie's room, that kept me company during difficult times.

Thanks to you I have started enjoying life again, travelling, making new friends. I realized that we are never truly alone.”

“I feel like they’re my guardian angels. They’re the beautiful blue sky, the radiant sunshine, the fresh summer morning air that we all love so much. They are your favorite drinks that you drink to the last drop so as not to spoil that perfect beverage, they are hope, love, sweetness, laughter. It’s as if they’ve been sent to earth to guide the lost and lonely souls until they’re happy again. i see a lot of myself in them. They show us that they are first and foremost human and that they have problems outside their idol life too, but they try to help us as best they can anyway. It’s a safe place for me, they’re just beautiful, I love them with all my heart and not for their beauty but for their talent, their kindness, their humor, their little habits, their smiles, the way their eyes light up when they’re with the people they love or talking about their passions. They’ve helped me in my darkest moments, cheered me up, made me laugh, made me cry, taken me through every possible emotion. I’m so grateful for what they’ve done for me, I’d never dare forget them or even walk away from them. I love them so much!”

“I have not been a stay for a while, but it has been so amazing. you all are so amazing and talented. your music helps me feel better when I have rough days. thank you so much.”

“Skz made me a better person and they really made me stay in this world they helped me when i was at my worst I'm always thankful for them i love skz🫶✨”

“They say stray kids find you when you need them the most, and for me this is so true, from finding a random video that made me laugh so much, they appeared more and more on my fyp and down the rabbit hole i fell, into a world of laughter, friendship amd love. Thanks straykids for giving me a light at the end of a the long, dark and somewhat scary place i was in.

I may be a new stay but i will stay till the very end”

“dear stray kids,

i used to dislike skz because of all the rumours and negativity being spread. “noise” music wasn’t really my cup of tea either but thanks to spotify’s recommendations, i slowly became a fan of your music without realizing it. each and every one of your songs are so unique and i can’t find myself disliking any of them - all of you are also so funny and hardworking, hence, i became a stay (right before oddinary was released)! my biggest regret is how i held myself back and wished i became a stay much earlier (around go live era) so that i could’ve shared more wonderful memories with my second home. i’ve never been happier to be a stay, and i thank you, stray kids, for being such strong, hardworking, amazing people. please take breaks when you can!”

“Dear Stray Kids, I'm so glad I found you. You always make my day and make me feel great, but it's not just me, it's all STAYS. You can make everyone's day better and lift their spirits. I would really like to repay you somehow, but I don't know how to even write this message. And please promise to stay the way you are, because we love you so much and we love to see you happy and we will always stand by you. Thank you very much for everything. Catherine 🇨🇿.”

“Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart and soul. I was lucky to have found the group while I was in a very dark place in life and I can't say anything more then simply you have saved my life, and I wish you all happiness and health. Thank you, Grazie, Merci, תודה 감사합니다”

“Stray kids,if only I could express how proud we are of you in words. The battles you have had to bare with just so that you could please us. I wish I could say how proud we are but sadly there are no words to do that. I've found you when I needed some.one the most and you have never let me down or made me feel like I was walking alone. Thank you so much,sincerely, thank you so much ❤️”

“Thank you for all the joy you've brought not just to me, but all STAYs. I appreciate and love you! 🩷✨”

“Hi guys just want to say from Ireland 🇮🇪 thank you for being remarkable, inspirational , brilliant , talented. Thank you for being there in our darkest days and making us smile .You deserve love , health , happiness and success please do not change 💗 love you so much .”

“hi stray kids!

i don't know where to start other than to just say thank you for saving me.

you guys are the people i go to when i'm having a tough time, or when i need a break from my life. i watch your content and listen to your music whenever i'm feeling down, i think of you and what you would say if i continue to push myself down. without you my life would be incredibly boring, and i wouldn't of been as happy as i am now. you're my home, my happiness, my safe place. thank you.

love, maddy h.”

“Hello Straykids, this is a Puerto Rican baby staytiny who converted during the Maniac era but knew them from God's Menu. Thank you for being our humble home where much love, joy and mutual support is shared no matter where we come from and even what we are like.

For me, I sincerely thank everyone for becoming the beings they are today, full of light, joy and even transmitting hope.

Thank you because through the screens or even up close, you make Stay feel special by your side offering you warm smiles, love and respect.

Thank you because your songs with such powerful messages manage to heal many afflicted and sore hearts.

You're doing a great job, don't forget it.

“Hi Skz ♡ I found you guys in the midst of winter, in the midst of being very ill with chronic illness. Your music, message, silly banter, beauty and radiant joy made me feel at home again, made me love music, singing and even dancing again, made me get up every morning and feeling like I could move forward again and love life again. Please keep going as well, keep taking care of each other and know that we appreciate all the effort and passion you guys put in Stray kids♡♡”

“Thank you for always making great music and performing with passion and energy. I became a Stay last year in March just after the Oddinary album came out and I havent regretted it since, it has made me a slightly more positive person as well as a more respectful person to the others around me. I hope you guys (Stray Kids) have time to rest and enjoy moments together as a group and spend time with your families after working hard and giving your all to make Stays happy and proud.”

“I want to thank the boys for all they do & all the happiness that they have spread🖤they have changed my life for the better: I’m happier, more confident, and have 8 new reasons to keep going!

You are a shining light in this world, and you have touched the hearts of so many Stays around the world. Your talent and hard work inspire me to be a better person every day. I wish I had even a fraction of the talent that you possess.

Big hug from Indonesia♡”

“Dear stray kids, thank you for everything. Thank you so much. Without you guys maybe I wouldn't be here smiling. Thank you so much for bringing back my smile in my life again. You saved me ! You're doing great. I've not been a stay for long, this is my first comeback of yours, and really its so so so good. Thank you so much guys for your all the hard work. Lots of love💕”

“Hi Stray Kids,

I am a STAY only since two months, my sister is the one who introduced me to you guys and I am very thankful to her. I love you guys, it has only been two months but it feels like I have known you guys since a lifetime. You have helped me through the tough times and I thank you for all the lovely support you give to Stay. I have no idea how I would do without you. You mean a lot to me and I feel like you complete a part of me. Channie the best leader, Lee Know the best dancer, Chang bin the best producer, Hyunjin the prettiest and sexiest, Han the quokka and the best lyricist, Felix the brightest sunshine, Seungmin the best vocalist and IN the most precious maknae and the cutest sometimes it bother me that he is older than me yet cuter than me. Anyways without you I wouldn’t be complete as you have helped me through hard time. Please be safe and healthy and keep making good music. We are always waiting for your amazing talent.

I love you guys very much❤️💜”

“My dear boys, I'll never be able to thank you enough for all that you do for me and all STAYs around the world. You have saved my life in so many ways. I literally stumbled upon you one day, and I still can't tell what made me fall for you. I can only think of words like synergy and synchronicity to explain what it was in that silly video of you all trying not to react to Pink Venom by Black Pink that shone a light so bright in my brain and caused me to never look back. I was not a fan of K-Pop in general and knew little about the genre, but since that day, not so long ago, I can not stop cheering for you and following into your every step. Because of you, I now eat better, sleep better, exercise, and take better care of myself. You are my sunshine, and I just wanted to say thank you for existing and for following your dreams. I love you to the sun and back. Always and forever. 💙”

“HAPPY STAYWEEK! I just wanna say that I love stray kids and stay so much...

Both of them are like a big family who saved my life and helped me more than ever ! I Could be depressed but stray kids still helped me with their content And made me smile, Channie's room made me smile too, and his hugs always reminds me Im loved and not alone, your wholesome songs and lyrics cures my insomnia So I can sleep at night with your songs turned on... There's no word to describe how much I love Stray kids and never will be. They're most precious people in my life. I WISH STRAY KIDS THE BEST !🤍🤍🤍”

“Dear stray kids,

It is stays 5th birthday!! But it wouldn’t be special or have any meaning if it wasn’t for you guys. Because of you and all your hard work stays can celebrate 5 years of supporting you. You have made so many hearts full of joy over the time and we want to show you how much we love you! Thank you for everything you do for us. From giving us advice and comforting us to releasing some amazing music! We appreciate and love you so very much and know that not a day goes by where we don’t love you!! Sincerely,

A foive yr old stay! 🩷🩷”

“Dear Bang Chan, Lee know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N! ❤️ I’m an Algerian stay who only discovered stray kids in 2022, and I immediately fell in love with all your beautiful works.

Over time, I got to learn so much about you, and this made me admire and respect you more and more, as artists and as people.

Thank you also for protecting us, for always surpassing yourselves and giving your all for us, and for yourselves.

A few days ago, I took a plane, and went to see you in France, at lollapalooza and finally got the opportunity to see you perform in front of me.

It was my first concert ever, and it was better than what I could have ever imagined, absolute fire !

Most importantly, don't forget to take care of yourselves, to stay healthy, because, if you're happy, stays are happy ❤️ know that you're our safe place, and we hope to be yours as well

We're all so proud of you and we love you

-Katia”

“Boys, it's been a wild ride. You've been with me since right before kingdom. You have no idea how many times you've saved my life, how much you've helped me. I struggle with anxiety and depression, and whenever I have a panic attack, just hearing songs like Voices, My Pace, Booster and Don't stop calm me down. I'm so happy for the 3 1/2 years I've had with you, and I hope for many more to come. Thank you for helping me stay.”

“Ive been a Stay for about 7 months. This was the best decision i have and wll ever make. I really have to thank my sister since she was the reason I became a stay. One day she decided to listen to Case 143, luckily i was with her. I spent the next days going through pinterest and youtube to find whatever i could about you guys. In my early days, i was obsessed but i think thats ok. You guys made me happier and whenever im listening to your songs or watching random skz videos, isometimes think back to my days before i met you guys and how i was sad all the time. Sometimes i feel like its all too perfect now and i feel like you guys are a dream. Ik its weird but sometimes i cry thinking it might all be a dream and you guys were never real. I also sometimes cry because i might never get to meet you or you would never know how much u mean to me and stays. Maybe thats the reason i decided to participate in the project. You guys are the most talented, shockingly handsome, incredibly funnt group of people i have ever known. Your songs always makes me cry and cry for you since your songs carry your feelings. I hope one day you will meet someone who loves you as much as STAY loves you and as much as I love you. You will always be the missing piece of Stay's heard. If i havent made it clear by now, I love you, Stays love you, WE love you. Stay will always support you. We will always STAY with you. You are the light that brightens the darkness. Stray KIds ever where all around the world, you make STAYS stay. Never look down and keep your chin up. Us stays will do as much as we can to support you and cheer you from the sidelines. You changed our lives, now its time for us to change yours.

- A stay who loves you more than love itself”

“To dear Stray kids,

Heyy I just hope y'all know that your imperfections is what makes you the one n only in the WHOLE universe. So always tell yourself "I AM ENOUGH AND I LOVE MYSELF".. want a reason for loving yourself? I like to think that I am a mosaic of each and every person I have ever loved, even for a heartbeat.

Take Care I admire all of you from the bottom of my heart”

“Stray Kids!!!

As a 33 year old woman, i was sure i could not get obsessed with a group of young boys anymore. But stray kids found me when i needed them most. throughout my depression and the loss of my dad, you were my happiness and you continue to be my happiness as my life slowly goes back to normal.

I promise to do my best to also make Stray kids happy by always supporting you and wishing health and happiness to the members and their families <3”

“Dear Stray Kids,

Thank you for being such wonderful people, thank you for giving us the gift of your songs that help us getting through our lifes with power, laughter, smiles and love. You are so much more then just Idols, you are far away friends that keep us from falling and motivating us to keep on going forward. I gained so much from you and each member. I'm fighting my anxiety for Han, taking better care of myself for Lix, trying to see my own beauty for Chan. I'm staying headstrong but true to myself for Minho, confident but cute for Changbin and hold my head up high knowing my worth for Hyunjin. Trying to see the positive side for I.N and keep up my witty remarks to make people laugh for Sungmin.

Never doubt us, we will stay by your side as long as you allow us to.

Stray Kids everywhere all around the world!

SKZ🖤STAY

With love, Toni from Germany ❤️”

“Hi! I’m a Japanese high schooler stay living in the U.S! I just wanted to say thank you for all the things you gave me. You guys suddenly appeared in my life and just cheered me up! As a teenager, life often gets mentally hard. Wether it’s school or my family, whenever I see your videos and listen to your music. It makes me forget all the negative stuff that I have. When you smile, I smile. When you laugh I laugh too. You guys are my happiness, joy, everything!

Thank you for being my comfort zone! I love you and I’ll keep loving you!”

“Thank you skz for the amount of joy you’ve given with your music and your genuine selves! Your music has changed lives thank you so much skz I love you so much! I hope you realize that you guys are truly amazing and deserve everything you’ve gotten❤️”

“Dear Stray Kids,

You have given me 8 more reasons to keep going. I really didn’t want to when you found me back in May, but each of you have given me something so I can keep going. Changbin, your laugh heals my wounds. Felix, you have brought light to the dark places in my life. Seungmin, your smile helps on even the darkest nights. BangChan, you filled the hole in my heart caused by those that left. Han, you have taught me that it’s okay to feel my emotions and not be guilty. Innie, every time I see you, I’m reminded of what I have to live for. Hyunjin, you have taught me self love. Lee Know, you have helped soften the blow of every punch thrown at me. All of you together makes everything more bearable. I love you guys so much. Don’t ever leave me ❤️

Words cannot begin to express the gratitude I have for the hard work you guys do for Stays. You’ve brought so much happiness and light to my life. I can’t believe how lucky I have been to have found you and your music. I look forward to a lifetime of success coming your way. I am proud of you all. My dear leader Bangchan 💜 you’re doing amazing!

“Thank you for never giving up and getting together and being stray kids. You are my family, my everything. You have supported me in every moment and I will continue to support you in every moment. I love you more than anything, my family. You are all doing very well, I am proud of you. I’m learning love with you guys. I learn everything from you to love myself, to love you, to love those around me, to be a family. I don’t have a dream or a hope, but you even give me these things. I will do my best to make you proud 🤍 my love for you is so great that even I am surprised sometimes. I can’t live without you. I can’t live without your music. I know you more than myself, I understand your feelings. You are all very beautiful people, all of you individually have perfect personalities and hearts come together to form a perfect family.

Each and every member, thank you so much for your presence and hard work. Please take care of yourselves, stay sends you our engery. You make STAY stay.”

“My home.

My home is called Stray Kids. My home is strong, so incredibly strong.My home is caring, they help each other and so many others during rough times. My home is so hardworking, perfecting every dance and every song.My home doesn’t give up, with every wave of hate that washes over them, they come back stronger. My home is funny, they make me laugh and squeal in excitement. They make my heart flutter when I see them. Sometimes all I need is my home. I could say I met you when I was at my lowest, but it’s not true. I could say you pulled me out of my dark room, but it’s not true. I could say you pulled me out of my dark room, but it’s not true. I didn’t have the luck of finding you when I hit rock-bottom. I found you during my lonesome recovery. I didn’t have anyone to turn to, so I turned to you. Every time I doubted myself, every time I just wanted to get back to that comfortable black pit, you inspired me to keep going. You made me want to improve myself, to be the best version of myself. You made me see what good people look like.I’m still getting there but thank you. Thank you for being yourself.

-xx, Stay”

“Channie like you said that we find stray kids when we need them the most....i found You all when I needed you the most.... You all mean SO MUCH TO STAYS 🖤🖤🖤 Thanks for taking care of us

“안녕,현진🥳

제 이름은 Zainab이고 이란에서 왔습니다.

수천 단어 중 한 가지만 말하고 싶었습니다. 나는 항상 "I love"가 가장 아름다운 단어라고 생각합니다.

그러나 이제 나는 당신이 나로부터 수 마일 떨어져 있고 당신의 존재를 그 어느 때보 다 느끼고이 긴 거리가 우리 사이에 거리를 만들 수 없기 때문에 "나는 당신을 사랑합니다"가 단순한 문장이 아니라는 것을 이해합니다. . 그래도 매우 아름답습니다. '사랑해'는 내가 정말 사랑하는 너와의 사랑의 말 세계를 레드로 표현한 곡이다.❤️

곧 뵙기를 바랍니다. 안아줘 형진아. 나를 사랑해. 키스 해줘. 내 이름을 크게 말해봐, 멋져, 모든 것에 감사해❣️🍀😘”

“Dear Stray Kids!

Thank you for just being,existence! I'm proud to be STAY . You show me colors of life that I did not know.Thanks to you, I have the courage to make progress and experience new things, overcoming my fear. The lyrics of your songs give shape to my emotions. Music gives the impulse to move. Sometimes to be able to enjoy the moment, and sometimes to sort out thoughts in my head. You inspire me as musicians, but also as people. I appreciate all your efforts. I hope that you will be able to experience as many beautiful moments as possible, and you will be able to deal with the worse ones.

Thank You!!! I love You with all my heart! “

“Thank you for continuously giving me new reasons to be happy!”

“Stray kids. My home, my everything. I don't even know where to start from. You saved me every single time. From you reminding me I'm best the way I am, to me laughing to your jokes, to me crying to the lyrics of those songs, to me becoming completely speechless and mesmerized by your talent. I love you guys a hell lot. You don't know what you mean to stay. You guys don't know how amazing you are. Only if you could see yourself from our eyes..you would realize how special you guys are. From our leader to our maknae on top, I love all 8 of you guys. You mean everything to us stays. Never stop making and producing songs and of course we will be always by your side as you have been for us. I'm really thankful for everything you guys did for us, really, everything<3 I will never forget the day I found out about you, the most life changing day of my life. If you ever feel like you're not enough, don't. Because you are definitely amazing. You're one in a million. I LOVE YOU<33333

“Hi, I know I'm too late for the stay message :(, but I wanted to thank you anyway, its a really kind and special thing you're doing, 🧡🧡💛💛❤️❤️”

“Dear Stray Kids,

I just want to say thank you.

I had a really tough time lately, struggling with depression and more. But you came into that darkness and showed me the beauty of life once more. You were the only ones bringing color into my grey days. You were the inspiration for me to start making music again.

You literally saved my life and no words can express how thankful I am for you. God bless you.

I will STAY forever.”

“Dear Stray Kids... I want to say my biggest thank you for coming into my life right at the time when I had no motivation to pursue my dreams. The drastic change in my life just keeps getting better and better. And the moment I became a STAY, I decided that i would keep moving forward and build my life the way i wish it to be. Thank you so much for being my motivator, and for staying by my side even when hard times hit the members. You would always be my shield even when you don't know what bullets will hit. For that I thank you once again from the bottom of my heart. I'm afraid that we will probably never meet in person due to some reason. But if I do get the 1/1000 chance somehow, I would be really happy to come.

We will always love Stray Kids no matter how thick or thin things are. Please be proud that you have saved many souls for doing the worst. And thank you for making STAY promise to take care of themselves and keep moving forward in their lives. Well here's the one chance I would probably get to write for you. I hope to somehow be able to meet you guys in person even when it turns to be in a non formal occasion. Sending love and hearts from thousand of miles. Hope everyone stays happy. And finally ♥️WE LOVE YOU ALL NO MATTER WHAT♥️”

“Hi straykids💗 I have been a stay for a few months. Thank you all for making me happy all the time👐🏻 The most important reason why I love you guys is because when I am really upset or having a hard time, you guys always make me happy by your songs and videos❤️‍🩹 Stays make straykids stay, and also straykids make us become stays💫 We all love you ❤️‍🔥Your musics are legends, keep it up💪🏻 Love you all😙-Stay”

“Wow, don’t think ill ever be able to thank you all in person for saving me. I may not have been there since debut but everyone found you guys when they needed it most, mine just happened to be on a random day in September of 2021. You’ve all been kind of a rock in my life ever since I discovered you all, its like how when a rock climber goes solo, they need a rock to secure them to make sure they don’t fall, and you all have been that rock in my life. I hope you find the same kind of love you guys give to us stays in the future, i wish you all a happy life and I honestly think you’ll be apart of my life forever from now on. You all work so hard to be able to give us the best of the best, and to be honest, anything and everything you guys do for us no matter how perfect or imperfect it may be, we appreciate it entirely. I hope i can meet you all one day to thank you guys in person. Thank you again. All the love and support - Kisaa(just a random stay out there in the world)”

“Hello guys, I hope you are well, and if you are not, some feelings are fleeting and we are not the negative thoughts that we have from time to time.

Bang Chan, You are a wonderful person and leader, you are beautiful inside and out, and the best thing is that you inspire me to keep going, not to give up. You are all wonderful beings my dears, even if you don't know me, I am extremely proud of each one of you, of everything you have achieved and will continue to achieve. Guys, you are doing really well! Much love to each one, always take care of your health, your emotions and thoughts.

It’s funny to think I’m getting close to a year of having discovered you and your music. I’m so happy that I stumbled across Case 143, got thrown into Maxident, and stepped right into being a STAY! I’ve had a lot of fun being accompanied by all of the music and all of the funny moments you’ve shared with us through videos, and on the stage. There’s so much to say, but simply, you are all absolutely amazing, and are well loved by STAY. 💖

You always make me smile, and you inspire me to be a light to others in my life. Never forget how amazing you are. You work so hard, and you’ve accomplished so much. Words can’t express how proud I am of you. Your sound, and your creativity, it’s all so inspiring. You have motivated me to pursue my dreams and to continue doing what I’m passionate about. Finally, I want to say thank you. Thank you for loving us, thank you for caring for us; honestly, I can’t thank you enough for everything you do for STAYs. You all mean so so so much to me, and I’m so proud to call myself a STAY. I love you, and I’ll always stay with you. ♡ - Aly ♡”

“dear Stray Kids, it’s almost been two years since you’ve made you’re way into my life. I happened to stumbled upon a video, one of Bang Chan, where his genuine care for his members drew me into you. I felt the love that you have for one another and decided to see more for myself. it felt so real. the way you all care for one another made my heart melt. I had finally found something that made me genuinely feel happy. it was the first time I smiled in a long time. I cannot express how thankful to you I am. you saved my life. you all made me feel wanted, and when I didn’t, I went to you guys. youre smiles lit my heart, made me smile too. the strength of your love to eachother as well as to Stay is so unfathomable.”

“I honestly have no words for this. I am super proud of you all and what you have accomplished. these past few years have been so amazing and I know everything will keep getting better. I first found straykids when I was going through a rough time in my life. Straykids in all honesty had saved my life without even knowing it. I never thought I would end up where I am today but with unconditional support Straykids gives to me and Stay, I was willing to accomplish great things. If I could thank each member individually I would. thank you again for everything and keep up the amazing work ❤️❤️”

I'm so proud of you and your journey. I've only been a stay since March, but you've helped me so much. When I met you, I was going through a horrible time in my life, with a lot of upheaval, and you came along like magic, bringing back the smile and the joie de vivre I used to have, if that's all there was to it... You've helped me in so many ways, and for that I can't thank you enough.

Thank you again for the wonderful time I had at Lollapalooza on July 21, a memory that will stay with me forever.

I wish you all the best for your professional or personal life, be happy and with the people you cherish most in the world, you deserve all the best in the world because I'm sure you've helped so many Stay.

You are all exceptional independently of each other, but together you are invincible and you are my second family 🫶

Make the most of the life you've been given, have fun, don't be too hard on yourself and remember to take time out with your loved ones.

I'll always be watching over you, like so many Stay.

사랑해

"If I had to rate stray kids I wouldn't give them "5 STARS" I would give them the whole universe

Everywhere around the world you'll hear me call your name because you have the best position in the "Hall Of Fame" in my heart.

You swerved speeding and came to me luxurious like a "S-Class" And I wonder why your spotlight is so bright only to realize that you are the best of the best in first class

When I found you my insecurities disappeared, you ate them, pac-man, You are that divine "ITEM" that I use to overcome my fears

I say your name to feel alive but now I'm addicted to you and i want more so i'll be waiting for the "Super Bowl" you're cooking to have a bite

No one is going to beat the "TOPLINE" you marked

Without anyone knowing, we only go to "DLC" because it is what you like la la la

When I'm bored and I have nothing to do I hear you and i "Get Lit" I get goosebumps and I feel like 죽어보자 (jugeoboja)

I was destined to find you like a "Collision" I can't let it end so i'll say i love you again

I keep looking for you in "FNF" even if you turn to dust i will bring you back, even if I can't run and follow you I catching up up up

You once told me that I was perfect as I am, that I was "Youtifull" and that I was not afraid because the stars are by my side, now I want to tell you... STAY will always be by your side too"

"Dear skz. Yall made and make my life so much better every single day. I cant explain the amount of love i have gained for yall ever since i started stanning yall. ALL OF YALL. Are so so so perfect and amazing DO NOT listen to anyone hating on yall or trying to bring yall down. Yall have been the best people to everybody in Stay. We will always love you guys and defend yall. -Raven 😘"

"Dear StrayKids ❤️Thank you that you make me smile. You are so beautiful and amazing ❤️Please don't think you're not good enough. You are! I love you"

"Dear straykids, thank you from saving me from one of the darkest points of my life. In all honesty you’re on of the few reasons i’m still alive, and i will forever be great full to you for that. You are one of the best groups of people i’ve ever stumbled across and no matter what you do you always manage to put a smile on not only my face, but millions of stay around the world, and that is something not many people can say that they do 🫶 I love each and every one of you with all my heart, and i hope that you guys can learn to love yourselves just as much as we do (looking at you specifically there chan). You truly deserve the universe, thank you for everything you’ve done for us all <3"

"Dear Stray Kids,

A year ago, I said I will never listen to kpop but it changed, my bsf played Maniac and I fell in love with everyones talents and looks, you guys have been probably the best thing that happened to me last year, and I am very thankful for that!💜 You guys have been doing so much work you must be exhausted, so please remember to take care of your health too. If anyone says something bad to you such as Ky$ or other bad things, just remember they are just jealous of your talents and looks, never harm yourself in anyway! 💜💜

To Bang Chan I wanted to say that you are enough, you are the best leader anyone could ask for. 💜

To Lee know, I know it's hard when people call you names that arent true, it hurts so much, but those people dont know who you really are, you are kind and caring in your own way! 💜

To Changbin, you are not fat! You are very strong and very handsome, dont listen to those haters they are just insecure about themselves!💜

To Hyunjin, you are loved, STAY loves you, even if you cut your hair short, no matter what, we love you.💜

To Han, many haters say you fake your anxiety, which is not true, we all with anxiety know how hard it can be, but you are very lucky to have so amazing members and fans who support you through hard times!💜

To Felix, you must be scared cause of the laser pen thing, Im terrified too, These times are rough and I dont know why all the haters are attacking right now but you are our sunshine, please keep shining no matter what!💜

To Seungmin, I know you have been told to stop smiling and stuff, but you are really gonna listen to them? Are you? No, thats what I thought too, your smile is precious and you know that, never ever hide it again. We all love to watch you smile, it brings smile on our faces!💜

To I.N, You are more than just a maknae on top, you are strong, handsome and talented young man! Your smile and laugh is everything to STAY! 💜

Thank you Stray Kids for all the good music and hard work!

You make Stray Kids stay!!💜

I adore that this fandom feels like a gigantic family you’ve created. All eight of you are beautiful and so very loved. Thank you SKZ"

"Dear Stray Kids! You came into my life after I nearly died 2 times within a few months. At that point, I had no strength or will to live anymore. One day my daughter introduced me to your music and something in me was touched. The spark that had been extinguished was relighted. So I listened to your music, watched your Youtube videos (when you have to lie in bed you have a lot of time 😉) and you managed to make me laugh again, but you didn't just make me cry only once as well. I had renewed motivation to fight and live - not only to survive, but to actually live. I wanted to get healthy again. During this time "My Pace" was my anthem. I took small steps at my pace. These steps became bigger and safer, so that despite my serious health problems and my massive anxiety disorder, I went "All in" 😉🤪 and went on a 12-hour drive to Paris to finally see my idols live. I'd like to say up close, but since I can't stand that long and am still confined to a wheelchair most of the time, I'll probably never see you first row, which admittedly makes my heart a little heavy. But it was also great to see you from afar. In those 1.5 hours I felt alive again, like I hadn't for a long time. Your outstanding performance, the vibes of the happy and excited Stays around me, it was magical. And for that I want to say thank you! (Words are not enough!) You are so wonderful! You are doing an excellent job, every single one of you! I would like to say something about and to each and every one of you, but I think that would fill a whole book! 😂 You simply are the perfect team!

I wish you everything you wish for, that your dreams come true, continued success, health, harmony and joy in life! You deserve only the best! I love you! Thank you for existing!

Big OT8 hug from a European Stay who wishes nothing more than to be able to see you here again soon! 🫶🏻"
