Inside a JYP Entertainment training room in Seoul, 2018. A young Australian boy with snow-white hair and warm brown eyes enters—Lee Yongbok, known as Felix. His deep, velvety voice carries a quiet softness, a fragile cover for the vulnerability and deep-seated doubts churning beneath. Across from him, sprawled on a worn sofa, are his future bandmates in Stray Kids: Bang Chan, Hyunjin, and the others. Felix, armed with internet research and a black belt in taekwondo, takes a small, hesitant breath. This is it—the first, trembling step toward introducing himself.
