The qualities that make up a leader: charisma, reliability, and in Bang Chan’s case, friendliness. As he was a longtime trainee at JYP, it seems that he learned much more than how to sing and dance, but how to form bonds of friendship, too. His kind personality has not changed, even after debut and becoming a world-renowned singer. His known friend list is massive and includes AB6IX, his JYP labelmates, ChungHa, and SF9’s RoWoon, just to name a few. It seems that this list grows by the day and we’re not surprised!
