The Stray Kids members are back with new, original content, and this time, they’ve modeled their fun holiday SKZ CODE episode after one of Korea’s hottest reality dating shows.

The eight members hilariously posed as contestants on a reality dating show based on the popular show EXchange (also known as Transit Love).
In the real program, five pairs of exes live together, and as they get to know each other, they can rekindle their past romance or start something new with another contestant.

The Stray Kids members hilariously played into their EXchange Island roles and answered questions about their ideal types, what they would do on a holiday date, and more as they reunited with their “exes.”

While the entire episode kept STAYs (Stray Kids’ fandom) entertained, netizens focused on one hilarious interaction between members Bang Chan and Changbin, who earned attention for their unique way of “flirting.”

As the two members played out their skit, Changbin brought up his fake “ex’s” habit of touching his butt without notice.
Bang Chan didn’t miss a beat before replying that he also had a “bigger butt,” and Changbin added that he did too.
