The day I found out that I was officially going to be part of Stray Kids was a mix of emotions. I had been working so hard as a trainee, but I wasn't sure what the future would hold. I was still grappling with self-doubt, questioning whether I was truly ready or good enough to be in a group. But when they told me I was joining Stray Kids, it was like a flood of relief and excitement washed over me. It wasn't just about me anymore—it was about being part of something bigger than myself, something that felt like it could truly make a mark in the music world.
At first, I was nervous. I had seen how well the other members already connected with one another during the initial training phases. They were incredibly talented, and I wasn't sure if I would fit in right away. But as I spent more time with them, I realized that this was the beginning of something special. The chemistry between us was undeniable. Each of us brought something unique to the table—different talents, personalities, and dreams. We were all there for the same reason: to make it as a group, to show the world what we could do together.
As I got to know the other members better, I began to see that we weren't just a group of trainees thrown together. We were a team. Sure, we had our differences, but we shared a vision and a passion for music. We all wanted to work together to make Stray Kids a success. I remember the first few times we rehearsed as a team. The energy was so intense, and the bond between us grew stronger with every practice session.
But there was also a lot of pressure. We were tasked with creating something that was uniquely ours—something that would stand out in the K-pop industry. We knew we had to push the boundaries and be different. The pressure to deliver was immense, but I learned to embrace it. The more we rehearsed and worked together, the more I realized that Stray Kids was not just a group—it was family.
