Stray Kids’ Han Says He Got ‘Scolded’ for Briefly Showing His Tattoo

Stray Kids member Han’s tattoos have not yet seen the light of day publicly, but they are already the talk of the town, especially after the group’s recent fan meetings.

ICYMI: From Feb. 14 to Feb. 16, 2025, the members of Stray Kids held their fifth fan meeting, titled SKZ 5’CLOCK, at Incheon’s Inspire Arena in South Korea. (Member Felix sat out the last performance after being involved in a minor car accident and suffering from a pinched nerve, as shared by JYP.)

Aside from performances and games aplenty, Han’s ink got a moment to shine during the concerts — albeit briefly and not without a little commotion.

During the special event, Han performed Bang Chan’s solo “Railway,” off special album 合 (HOP) and part of the group’s ongoing world tour. On tour, the performance ends with the group’s leader taking off his top, something Han did not do.

As shared by a fan on X, Han said the choreography change was beyond his power and imposed by his parent company to avoid showing the tattoo he has on the side of his torso, so he instead opted to lightly lift his top as a replacement move.

On the last and final night, however, and as captured by fans, the star decided to give fans a bigger tease and lift his sweater a little more noticeably, which in turn resulted in a fragment of his ink taking the spotlight ever so briefly — which got Han a little “scolding” from staff, as he shared.

On his Bubble account, Han reflected on the three nights of the fan meeting and shared he was unaware his tattoo had been slightly visible for the final performance during his ab reveal, but he swiftly found out from staff members as he was coming down the stage. “[But] as long as you were happy, I’m fine with that. Time to lock up my stomach again,” he quipped after.

After some speculation, Han himself confirmed he had gotten some ink last year. Though they are yet to be seen fully, they have been peeking through here and there. Whether he does get a chance to show them off in the future or decides not to in the end for personal reasons, he sure seems to love them, and ultimately, that’s all that matters.
