Stray Kids leader Bang Chan has become the youngest K-pop star to make the top 10 on the KOMCA (Korean Music Copyright Association) list. This is because of the versatility of the idol. He has the ability to rap, sing, dance, produce, write and create music. He will turn 25 in a few days, but according to KOMCA’s statistics from September 19, he has already written 137 songs. With the release of HEYDAY (Street Man Fighter Vol. 4 Dance Crew OST) on September 20th, another song has been added to the catalog of songwriters Bang Chan, Changbin and HAN (3RACHA). This brings his total lead song credits to 138, making him tied for eighth with BAP’s Yongguk.
However, at just 24 years old, he is the youngest K-pop star to achieve this astonishing record. RAVI, RM from BTS, PSY, G-Dragon and Zico are among the other idols in the top ten. Not only is the founder of God’s menu the youngest, but he is also the only fourth-generation K-pop star on the KOMCA list. Changbin and HAN, his fellow 3RACHA members, are now ranked 17th and 18th with 122 and 119 songs respectively (which will be +1 each if HEYDAY’s release is added to the next ranking).
Bang Chan’s success is celebrated by STAY fans.
After seven years as a trainee, Bang Chan, the leader in charge of selecting his members to debut with, is currently the youngest K-pop idol and the only fourth-generation idol to be ranked in the top ten on the KOMCA merit list. Fans on Twitter are overjoyed as the latest update on the KOMCA website shows the Stray Kids leader at #10. This hypothesis is confirmed by HEYDAY, a contribution that 3RACHA published for Street Man Fighter the other day. Bang Chan has 138 tracks, including songs from the group’s next album MAXIDENT and HEYDAY.
Fans hailed the feat on Twitter recalling the struggles Bang Chan faced since his debut. They also praised the idol for being KOMCA’s most recognized fourth-generation K-pop star. Namely, Changbin and HAN from Stray Kids are the only fourth-generation K-pop stars on KOMCA’s top 20 list. BTS’s PSY, G-Dragon, RM and SUGA, SEVENTEEN’s Woozi, DAY6’s Young K, HIGHLIGHT’s Jun Hyung and others share the space with them.
MANIAC’s discography includes 3RACHA (Bang Chan, Changbin, HAN). They are considered rare idols who create, compose and arrange their own music. The band’s classic cover songs Hellevator, Side Effects, MIROH, God’s Menu, Back Door and, most recently, Thunderous and MANIAC were produced by the 3RACHA unit. Stray Kids has been in the K-pop business for four and a half years and has continued to impress. It will be fascinating to see if the leader of Stray Kids ever manages to crack the top 5 on the KOMCA chart.
