NYLON Japan is the Japan-specific edition of the New York-based fashion magazine NYLON. It has domestic local staff and runs original Japanese features. This announcement has sparked a wave of excitement among STAYs—Stray Kids fans. Many of them have taken to social media to express anticipation for Bang Chan’s feature.

Although the issue has yet to be released, it’s being touted as a special edition that will highlight Bang Chan’s influence and worldwide popularity. The issue will come with a handwritten message from the idol, as well as six limited-edition mini photocards.
