History Music / StrayKids

* TheAce: '''[[https://youtu.be/vK4SjyD-frQ Han]] [[https://youtu.be/uH0RIKUUeTk Jisung]]'''. He is one of the main producers and main rappers, possesses a sweeping tenor vocal range that allows him to hit resounding falsetto notes, has an incredible stage performance, [[SurprisinglyGoodForeignLanguage can speak in at least 3 different languages fluently]], is really handsome and [[ProudBeauty knows it]], is really good at drawing (as shown by his accurate sketches of other members), [[FunPersonified a hilarious comedian]], [[StickyFingers is scarily good at stealing anything unnoticed]], and can even [[TheLancer temporarily take on leadership when Chan isn't available]] (as shown in the video call for the 4th anniversary where Chan's [=WiFi=] was lagging), the list goes on and on since he's naturally good at ''everything''.

** In the unofficial song "Can't Live without Changbin", Changbin is briefly compared to a walrus, [[BerserkButton much to his displeasure]]. He's also insists to be referred to as a "dwaekki" ([[MixAndMatchCritters pig-rabbit]] hybrid).

* ButtMonkey:
** Poor, poor [[https://youtu.be/d_o2spWGDL0 Changbin]] fills this role the most, being the TheChewToy of many jokes everyone (mostly [[DeadpanSnarker Seungmin]] and [[TheTrickster Lee Know]]) makes. [[ActuallyPrettyFunny He does take it pretty well, most of the time]].

** Seungmin ''seems'' like one of the more chill members, since he's quieter and often acts more serious, calm and normal. But actually... ''[[https://youtu.be/62VW4ccoDZ4 isn't]]'', being fully capable of being as weird, silly and chaotic as the rest of them. He's also prone to saying [[NonSequitur non-sequiturs]].

* DeadpanSnarker: Mainly Lee Know and Seungmin, the group's resident [[{{Tsundere}} tsunderes]]/[[{{Troll}} trolls]]. With his BrutalHonesty and being one of the very few (and exasperated) [[OnlySaneMan only sane people]] in the group, I.N doesn't lag far behind either. ButtMonkey Changbin is able to keep up with the three of them in SnarkToSnarkCombat.

** Despite being one of the older members, Lee Know actually embodies it ''even more'' than Han does. More than once have the members called him weird ''to his face'', even in the lyrics for "FAM"!* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: During MAMA 2018 Han had his hair dyed blue and wore blue contact lens.

%%

* BigEater: Especially Felix.
** According to the members, Bang Chan is the biggest eater, capable of easily eating four bags of ramen. The other members also give him their leftovers.

* {{Bishounen}}: Hyunjin and Lee Know really stand out among the boys.
** Hyunjin is the official visual of the group and other members often pass comments like "Hyunjin looks good in everything".
** Lee Know once said that someone had complimented him by saying that he has statue-like beauty. Put a wig on him and [[AttractiveBentGender he'd be able to effectively pass as a pretty girl]].
** While Changbin is also considered one of the visuals (nicknamed "Binsual", which comes from Chang''bin'' and vi''sual'', by the members), he's more on the handsome than the pretty side.
* BoyBand
* BrutalHonesty: I.N is notorious for his brusqueness. Examples include:
** Calling Chan short to his face several times.
** Scolding Hyunjin for being a HeavySleeper.
** Describing Lee Know as "weird."
** Exposing Han for kissing him in the dorms when Han yelled that he hadn't kissed him yet.
** Saying Changbin is small - once after complimenting the older for being cute.
---> I.N: You're cute because you're small.
* ButtMonkey: Poor, poor [[https://youtu.be/d_o2spWGDL0 Changbin]] fills this role the most, being the TheChewToy of many jokes everyone (mostly [[DeadpanSnarker Seungmin]] and [[TheTrickster Lee Know]]) makes. [[ActuallyPrettyFunny He does takes it pretty well, most of the time]].
** Hyunjin, sometimes. Usually under Lee Know.
** Han, mainly due to Changbin and Seungmin.
*** [[ExaggeratedTrope Hyunjin and HAN are both members of Baboracha]], due to their tendency to make the other members laugh with their antics.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Han can come off like this. Normally, one does not belt high notes after getting hurt.

* TheCutie: Aside from his ''very contrasting'' [[BadassBaritone deep voice]] and [[SirSwearsALot sailor mouth]], Felix is undoubtedly the cutest member with his adorable habits, [[YouthfulFreckles freckles]] on his baby face, and his [[NiceGuy sweet]], [[{{Keet}} energetic]] and [[TheIdealist optimistic]] personality. Plus he [[CuddleBug loves getting cuddles from the other members]], is an unabashed fan of Music/{{TWICE}} and [[SweetBaker even bakes sweets like cookies and brownies]]! All the members, even I.N, ''[[TheBabyOfTheBunch the actual maknae]]'', and ''especially'' [[TeamDad Chan]] can't help but coo at his cuteness and dote on him, and [[TheTrickster Lee Know]] notably teases him the least.

* MrFanservice: '''Bang "Christopher" Chan'''. A lot of his outfits tend to expose his ''[[{{Hunk}} very nice]]'' body, more prominent in "Thunderous" era where a few of his [[https://i.pinimg.com/564x/26/78/ee/2678ee4a1fb64d283b749bacee3fa334.jpg outfits]] even having a "shirt" that's just barely wrapped bandages. He [[https://youtu.be/zMBy0dsGOik flashes his abs]] whenever it's convenient for him in some performances for songs like in "MIROH", "Victory Song" and "Charmer". He has even stripped shirtless (his slightly sweaty body from dancing not helping the poor viewers' sanity) ''on national TV''! He's also not above going along with some [=STAY=]'s flirtatious comments, even ''[[TheTease flirting back harder]]''.

* TheNapoleon: Woe betide anyone who teases Changbin about his shortness beyond friendly limits.
* NeatFreak: Seungmin is one.
* NonSequitur: Seungmin, [[NotSoAboveItAll weirdly]], is very prone to this.

*** Sometimes, STAYs unknowingly recommend him a song with explicit language. This comes full circle when he listens to "Pretty Savage" by BLACKPINK, which has swear words itself!

** Played straighter with Han, who often gets [[ArentYouGoingToRavishMe disappointed when no one compliments his looks]], even once holding Hyunjin by his ponytail and refused to let it go until he got called handsome.

* SingerSongwriter:
** All of them (mostly Bang Chan, Changbin and Han) have contributed to various songs’ melodies and lyrics.
* {{Sir Swears A Lot}}: While most of them don't exactly have the cleanest mouths, '''[[TheCutie Felix]]''' of all people has the [[https://youtube.com/shorts/NzfditC5c4E?feature=share crudest]] mouth out of all of the members, is guilty of being responsible for saying the most [[PrecisionFStrike curses]], the most shocking one being the time he [[https://twitter.com/skzview/status/1617051095766892544?s=20&t=gEyXj_QmVHiAFHF0rvwPUw called Chan a dick]] on a ''live broadcast''!

* SnarkToSnarkCombat: A frequent feature of their off-stage banter, especially when Lee Know or Changbin get involved.
** Expect to see this when Lee Know, Changbin, Seungmin, or I.N are around. Especially so when seeing banters among the four of them.
* StageNames: Lee Know for Lee Minho, Han for Han Jisung and I.N for Yang Jeongin.

* StepfordSmiler: Apparently Felix is one. Changbin and I.N told him through their letters that he doesn't need to keep the stress all to himself.

* TheStoic: Seungmin is a [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] combination of this and TheQuietOne. [[NotSoAboveItAll While having chaotic moments of his own]], they're ''[[DamnedByFaintPraise slightly]]'' more restrained than the others, plus is generally more emotionally reserved than everyone. And as for the latter, he doesn't talk that much unless [[{{Troll}} he wants to screw with someone]] and often keeps his voice at a normal volume, while the others tend to be ''very'' [[NoIndoorVoice loud]] and often [[SuddenlyShouting pretty shouty]]. These traits were more apparent in the group's rookie days.
** Changbin ''appears'' to be this, but is actually one of the more LargeHam ones.
* SuggestiveCollision: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAanagaR_jY the teaser for SKZ-CODE Ep. 19]], [[HoYay Minho and Jisung's very intense hug]] causes an earthquake that results in Leebit and Han Quokka ending up in this position. It helps that the plushies were "naked" at the time.
* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: Bang Chan and Felix, who are Australians. Seungmin, Hyunjin and Han are also pretty fluent in English. Seungmin studied in LA for 3 months, Hyunjin has lived in Las Vegas, and Han has lived and studied in Malaysia before.
** While Changbin has been working on his English, Felix says his pronunciation is good.
** As of 2022, everyone can speak and understand English to a fluent level.
* SurprisinglyGoodForeignLanguage: Bang Chan knows some Mandarin and Japanese as well.

* TeamMom: Despite his [[TheTrickster mischievous]] {{Tsundere}} attitude and tendency to [[BigBrotherBully screw with the others]], Lee Know is regarded as the mom of the group, keeping the the members well-fed with snacks and (sometimes) doting on them.

* ThirdPersonPerson: Lee Know tends to use third-person, but more frequently on Instagram than in real life.

* TheTrickster: Again, Lee Know. He enjoys messing with the members so much, like smashing a boiled egg on Changbin's forehead without hesitation and declaring that it's too bad that the egg isn't raw, or [[TheGadfly saying that there's ugliness on Bang Chan's face]]. He still, however, loves his members to death, and will not stand for any hate tossed their way.

** Lee Know is absolutely fond of teasing his members. However, at the same time, he is actually quite a good-natured person, keeping the members well-fed and helping Chan care for their dongsaengs.
*** He's also very (and more openly) sweet to cats, raising and taking care of three at his home, and has stated in a Japanese interview that cats are his soft spot.

* Felix (Lee Felix [[note]]Korean name: Lee Yongbok[[/note]], born September 15, 2000) – Lead Rapper, Main Dancer

* GeniusDitz: Han is called [[TheAce the 4th gen ace of K-pop]] for a reason, and he's even the youngest KOMCA member with 100+ songwriting credits of beautiful songs to his name, got a GED for elementary at 15 and for middle and high school at 16 (which meant he took 3 exams within 1 year), and on a few occasions has mastered newly learned skills [[InstantExpert rather quickly]], but it's hard to tell at first glance since, [[DownplayedTrope while not an actual ditz]], he's also one of the [[{{CloudCuckooLander}} strangest]] and more rambunctious members in an already chaotic group.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: Don't let Han's funny personality fool you, during his trainee days he had [[TheDreaded a bit of a reputation]] as someone who got into fights. Case in point, [[DisproportionateRetribution he once threw ''a wallet'' at Seungmin's face because he was pissing him off]].

** Lee Know is similar to a cat (even [[{{Tsundere}} personality]]-[[TheTrickster wise]]) and a bunny (his teeth look like the ones of a bunny).

* BigBrotherBully: [[TheTrickster Lee Know]] is this to everyone in the group, [[EveryoneHasStandards except maybe]] [[TheCutie Felix]]. He once laid down on I.N, [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace smothering the latter with affection, and tickling him everywhere]], and even refusing to leave I.N alone even after I.N asks him to stay away to not spread his (Lee Know's) cold to him.

** [[{{DownplayedTrope}} While the other members show less skin compared to Chan]], like him, they have not shied away from doing {{Fanservice}} whenever it's convenient.

** [[{{DownplayedTrope}} While the other members show less skin compared to Chan]], like him, they have not shied away from doing {{Fanservice}} whenever it's convenient. Just look at their buff arms!
*** If anyone is ranking who in the group shows off their abs the most, HAN, Felix, and I.N are just right behind Chan. They especially like to flash their abs in performances for the above mentioned songs.

* NonSequitur: Seungmin, weirdly, is very prone to this.

** Seungmin ''seems'' like one of the more chill members, since he's quieter and often acts more serious, calm and normal. But actually... ''[[https://youtu.be/62VW4ccoDZ4 isn't]]'', being fully capable of being as weird, silly and chaotic as the rest of them.

** In the unofficial song "Can't Live without Changbin", Changbin is briefly compared to a walrus, [[BerserkButton to his displeasure]]. He's also referred to as a "dwaekki" ([[MixAndMatchCritters pig-rabbit]] hybrid).

** Seungmin has been compared to a snail in the past, and nowadays the members (and even his family) associate him with a puppy.

** Bang Chan is nicknamed "kangaroo", and often associates himself with wolves.

* TheCutie: Aside from his ''very contrasting'' [[BadassBaritone deep voice]] and [[SirSwearsALot sailor mouth]], Felix is undoubtedly the cutest member with his adorable habits, [[YouthfulFreckles freckles]] on his baby face, and his [[NiceGuy sweet]], [[{{Keet}} energetic]] and [[TheIdealist optimistic]] personality.

* AdorablyPrecociousChild: I.N is TheBabyOfTheBunch and is often in the unofficial OnlySaneMan position of the group, more so than [[TheLeader Bang]] [[TeamDad Chan]].

* BigBrotherBully: [[TheTrickster Lee Know]] is this to everyone, [[EveryoneHasStandards except maybe]] [[TheCutie Felix]]. He once laid down on I.N, [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace smothering the latter with affection, and tickling him everywhere]], and even refusing to leave I.N alone even after I.N asks him to stay away to not spread his (Lee Know's) cold to him.

* DeadpanSnarker: Mainly Lee Know and Seungmin, the group's resident [[{{Tsundere}} tsunderes]]. With his BrutalHonesty and being one of the very few (and exasperated) [[OnlySaneMan only sane people]] in the group, I.N doesn't lag far behind either. ButtMonkey Changbin is able to keep up with the three of them in SnarkToSnarkCombat.

*** If anyone is ranking who in the group shows off their abs the most, HAN, Felix, and I.N are not too far from Chan, especially in performances for the above mentioned songs.

** {{Zigzagged}} in Lee Know's case, who on one hand prefers wearing modest clothes (and especially refuses to expose his stomach) and sometimes goes through extreme (and [[PlayedForLaughs hilarious]]) lengths to avoid doing {{fanservice}} whenever he can. And on the other hand, he can be an even '''bigger''' [[TheTease tease]] than Chan is when he's actually willing to do {{fanservice}} and seems fine with exposing his chest.

* YouthfulFreckles: Uniquely for a K-pop idol, Felix's face is full of natural freckles. They add to his cuteness.

ButtMonkey Changbin is able to keep up with the three of them in SnarkToSnarkCombat.

* RealMenWearPink: Despite Changbin's insistence on his 'dark' concept, he does love his pink sweater, and the color pink as a whole to some extent, after all. He's also a self-professed [[ThinksLikeARomanceNovel romantic]] at heart, and is fond of writing sentimental verses, plus most likely responsible for the creation of several of the group's love songs.
