On May 6, Stray Kids made history as the first entire K-Pop group to attend the Met Gala. The members were coordinated and dressed in Tommy Hilfiger as brand ambassadors.

Ahead of the event, STAYs anticipated the potential interactions. They especially hoped for Bang Chan and Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds to finally meet in person, as they have developed a friendship in recent years.

Unfortunately, Ryan Reynolds was not in attendance. However, another Marvel actor was present, and it was none other than fellow Aussie Chris Hemsworth, known for his portrayal of the “God of Thunder” Thor.

Changbin confirmed that the actor is really his character. He revealed that Hemsworth lifted him as easily as if he were Mjölnir, even carrying him.

Changbin thanked both the group and STAYs, saying that he would never be able to have experienced such a moment otherwise.

Previously, Chris Hemsworth went viral for autographing a STAY’s Felix photocard. Do you think he recognized him?
