Stray Kids showcased a dangerous chemistry (compatibility with each other) on a variety show, heating up the living rooms. On the 16th, KBS 2TV's Lunar New Year special variety show 'SOUL BEAM' depicted the members time-traveling to the Joseon era and challenging various missions to return to 2026. That day, the members showcased their skills to earn a ticket back to 2026. In particular, Changbin showcased his special skill of moving his chest muscles, saying, 'I can talk with my chest.' When member Han tried to stop him, saying, 'Didn't the company say not to do that?' Changbin cleverly deflected, saying, 'There’s no company in the Joseon era,' and showcased his skill, making everyone laugh. In the 'popcorn game,' the members' fearless rush drew cheers from the fans. Hyunjin and Changbin, Han and Lino, Felix and Seungmin, I.N and Bang Chan teamed up to eat and clean up popcorn from both sides. The most attention-grabbing team was Hyunjin and Changbin. When Changbin provocatively asked, 'Are you coming? Should I go?' Hyunjin, who was confused, rushed towards Changbin as soon as the game started, exciting the audience. With only 3.2cm of popcorn left, Changbin smiled wryly, saying, 'It touched my lips,' creating a subtle atmosphere. After a fierce competition, the winners were I.N and Bang Chan's team. I.N unreservedly ate the popcorn that Bang Chan had in his mouth, setting an astonishing record of just 1cm. MC Lee Seung-gun couldn't hide his surprise, saying, 'What is this? 1cm?' After twists and turns, they obtained the ticket to 2026, but surprisingly, the place they arrived at was the set of the 'Family Entertainment Hall' from 1988. When Lee Seung-gun asked the members, 'What sin did you commit in your past life that you still can't return?' the members jokingly replied, 'The sin of stealing fans' hearts,' showcasing their exceptional love for fans. 【ABEMA】Stray Kids time-traveling to the Joseon era!? The first terrestrial solo variety show 'SOUL BEAM' featuring traditional Korean games and cooking missions will be broadcast exclusively for free in Japan on February 16 at 11 PM.
