Stray Kids handles social media trolls by staying calm and not letting negative comments affect them. They believe in creating their own “safe zone” to relieve stress and focus on positive feedback that can help them grow as individuals and musicians.
When dealing with trolls, Stray Kids’ leader Bang Chan often responds thoughtfully, emphasizing the importance of respecting other groups and fans. He encourages his fans, known as STAYs, to support Stray Kids without downgrading other artists, promoting a respectful and positive fan culture.
Stray Kids’ management agency, JYP Entertainment, also plays a significant role by warning trolls to respect the group’s privacy and threatening legal action against those who violate it. This approach helps protect the band members from psychological harm caused by excessive calls, spam texts, and other forms of harassment.
Overall, Stray Kids focuses on maintaining a positive attitude and using their platform to spread kindness and respect, both online and offline.
