The South Korean boy band, Stray Kids, pleasantly surprised their fans by unveiling their personal Instagram accounts on Wednesday (August 2). Within no time, these accounts attracted an impressive 3 million followers each.
The ongoing STAYweek, already a festive celebration for Stray Kids' birthday, transformed into an even more delightful occasion as six out of the eight members marked their Instagram debuts.
Since their inception, Stray Kids had been utilizing their shared official account, often presenting content that exuded an individualized touch.
The introduction of personal Instagram accounts by Bang Chan, Changbin, Hyunjin, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N. created a significant buzz, serving as a remarkable gift for their fanbase during the STAYweek.

Felix and Hyunjin have each surpassed 4 million plus followers.
Within the Stray Kids ensemble, only Lee Know and Han have chosen not to embark on the journey of establishing individual Instagram accounts. Han communicated through a message on Bubble for JYPNation that he is presently not inclined to take this step.
I decided not to make a social media account because I just don’t feel ready yet! Don’t worry though, because I’ll upload good news on our official account!I don’t know much about personal social media accounts, so I’ll make one when I feel ready and can show you a lot of things!
— Han
Likewise, Lee Know informed STAYs that he has little interest in Instagram and prefers communicating through Bubble.
This is [more] comfortable for me so I still don’t have thoughts about making an IG. Rather than [talking about] IG, please recommend me something for lunch
— Lee Know
