Interestingly, I think the ATEEZ remix was great but I have the advantage of not knowing the original song. Thats sadly true but I believe in international iKONics giving their full support to the boys. Gone are the illusions of an early night. Stray Kids consists of 8 members: BangChan, Lee Know,Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix,Seungmin, and I.N. I dont know what you mean? 1.
