Stray Kids' Bang Chan Calls J.Y. Park's Waterbomb Outfit 'A Bit Embarrassing'

JYP Entertainment founder Park Jin-young (박진영), widely known as J.Y. Park, not only established popular K-pop groups like TWICE and Stray Kids but also remains one of the few entertainment company founders still actively performing. Over his decades-long career, his vocal and dance prowess, distinctive personal style, and headline-grabbing stage performances have solidified his status as a prominent figure in the Hallyu wave.

Beyond his performance skills, J.Y. Park's stage outfits consistently draw attention. From his early transparent PVC suits and fishnet designs to deep V-neck lace-up tops, nearly every appearance generates buzz. Last year at the Waterbomb music festival, he wore a pink high-neck sheer bodysuit, proudly displaying his toned physique, with a nearly backless design that became a major talking point.

This year, J.Y. Park returned to Waterbomb, once again not disappointing fans. He donned a pink sheer fishnet outfit, performing an energetic dance that showcased his chest muscles and lean physique. His bold styling and exaggerated stage presence again sparked widespread discussion. This time, even one of his own label artists couldn't resist commenting.

Stray Kids members Bang Chan (방찬) and Lee Know (리노) recently appeared on the YouTube show 'Workman,' taking on the challenge of working as amusement park cleaners. The duo arrived at the park at 6 AM, cleaning before opening hours, and chatted about various life topics during their breaks.

During the show, a staff member suddenly brought up J.Y. Park's past Waterbomb performance, asking the two, "Have you seen J.Y. Park PD's performance at Waterbomb?" Bang Chan immediately replied, "Yes, I have." However, he then candidly added, "It was a bit embarrassing." When the staff pressed him on what exactly made him feel that way, Bang Chan laughed and explained, "He walked into the audience and made heart gestures there." As a junior artist from the same company, Bang Chan's honest remark caused an outburst of laughter on set.

However, the staff seemed to find Bang Chan's reaction somewhat subdued, asking him, "Are you usually this calm and low-key?" Bang Chan immediately retorted, "I'm at my highest emotional point right now! Why would you say that?"

He then jokingly added that watching 'Workdol' made him feel the atmosphere on set was "really like a high from another world." He also revealed that among the Stray Kids members, he actually considers himself one of the more emotionally expressive types.

Meanwhile, Bang Chan and Lee Know diligently cleaned every corner of the amusement park that day, sweating profusely in the hot and humid weather. After a full day of hard work, the two received their wages and expressed gratitude to the park employees who work tirelessly every day, adding a heartwarming touch to the program.
