  • Stray Kids Members Height: Tallest to Shortest

    Stray Kids members height is a favorite topic for STAY, the group’s fandom, mostly because the eight members look so different in size on stage. The quick answer: the members range from about 167 cm (Changbin) to about 179 cm (Hyunjin), and the group average is roughly 173 cm, or just under 5 feet 8 inches.

    JYP Entertainment doesn’t publish an official height chart, so the numbers below are the profile heights that fans and K-pop databases repeat most often, many of them based on what the members have said themselves on variety shows and live streams. We note where the figures vary.

    Stray Kids members height chart

    Here are all eight members, from tallest to shortest.

    MemberCommonly listed heightIn feet and inches
    Hyunjin179 cm5’10.5″
    Seungmin178 cm5’10”
    I.N175 cm5’9″
    Lee Know172 cm5’7.5″
    Bang Chan171 cm5’7″
    Felix171 cm5’7″
    Han170 cm5’7″
    Changbin167 cm5’5.5″

    Add them up and divide by eight and you get about 172.9 cm. That is a little shorter than the average young South Korean man, who is around 175 cm, but very normal for a K-pop boy group. Plenty of groups have members on both sides of that line.

    Who is the tallest member of Stray Kids?

    Hyunjin is usually considered the tallest, at around 179 cm. Seungmin is very close behind, and in some photos the two look almost the same height, especially when posture and shoes come into play. Hyunjin’s long limbs and dance style, with big wide movements, make him look even taller on stage.

    Who is the shortest member of Stray Kids?

    Changbin, at about 167 cm. He is also known as one of the most muscular members and the group’s powerful rapper, so on stage he rarely looks small. Fans often joke about him being the shortest, and he plays along with it on variety content.

    Fun height facts STAY love to bring up

    • I.N, the maknae (youngest), grew noticeably after debut and passed several older members
    • Bang Chan and Felix, both raised in Australia, are about the same height
    • Han and Changbin are often paired in 3RACHA content, and the height gap between them is small
    • Lee Know is said to be the most flexible, which can make him look shorter when he slouches

    Height profile of each Stray Kids member

    Bang Chan: about 171 cm

    The leader grew up in Sydney, Australia, and trained at JYP for years before debut. At around 171 cm he is right in the middle of the group. His broad shoulders and gym-trained frame make him look sturdier than his height suggests, especially in sleeveless stage outfits.

    Lee Know: about 172 cm

    Lee Know worked as a backup dancer before joining Stray Kids, and his dancing is one reason fans call him one of the best performers in the group. He is usually listed a centimeter taller than Bang Chan and Felix, so the three of them look very similar in height on stage.

    Changbin: about 167 cm

    The shortest member is also one of the strongest. Changbin is known for his fast rap and his muscular build, and he is part of 3RACHA, the group’s in-house production unit, with Bang Chan and Han.

    Hyunjin: about 179 cm

    The tallest member is a main dancer with long arms and legs, which makes every move look bigger. Long hair, styled up for many performances, adds a little more to the impression of height.

    Han: about 170 cm

    Han spent part of his childhood in Malaysia and is the third member of 3RACHA. Most profiles list him at around 170 cm, though some fan sites give a figure a couple of centimeters lower.

    Felix: about 171 cm

    Like Bang Chan, Felix was raised in Sydney. His very deep voice surprises new listeners, and on stage he often looks slimmer and taller than 171 cm because of his light, quick dance style.

    Seungmin: about 178 cm

    Seungmin is a main vocalist and one of the tallest members, almost level with Hyunjin. In group photos the two are usually placed at the back or the edges to balance the line.

    I.N: about 175 cm

    The maknae is from Busan and was the youngest at debut. He grew after joining the group and now stands taller than most of the older members, something fans love to tease the hyungs about.

    Stray Kids members height and age

    Height questions often go together with age questions, especially for younger members who might still have been growing at debut. Here is a quick overview by birth year.

    MemberBirth yearRole highlights
    Bang Chan1997Leader, producer, vocalist
    Lee Know1998Main dancer, vocalist
    Changbin1999Main rapper, producer
    Hyunjin2000Main dancer, rapper
    Han2000Main rapper, vocalist, producer
    Felix2000Lead dancer, rapper
    Seungmin2000Main vocalist
    I.N2001Vocalist, maknae

    Stray Kids debuted with JYP Entertainment in March 2018, after a survival show in 2017. I.N was only 16 at debut, so it isn’t surprising that he grew after that. The older members had already reached their adult heights.

    Why K-pop profile heights vary

    If you compare Stray Kids heights on different fan sites, you will see small differences, sometimes two or three centimeters. That is normal for K-pop. Here is why.

    1. Agencies rarely publish official, updated heights
    2. Many figures come from pre-debut or early-debut profiles that were never changed
    3. Members sometimes mention their height in a live stream, then grow or measure differently later
    4. Fans estimate from photos, which is never exact

    At StatureFacts we use the figure most sources agree on and treat a centimeter or two as normal wiggle room.

    How Stray Kids look so different on stage

    On stage, heights are almost impossible to judge. Idols often wear shoes with insoles or thick soles that add 3 to 7 cm, and choreography constantly moves members forward and back. The center position in each formation is usually decided by the part of the song, not by height, so a shorter member can easily look like the biggest presence in the frame.

    Things that change how tall idols look

    • Height insoles hidden inside sneakers and boots
    • Low camera angles on music show stages
    • Hairstyles: big styled hair can add a few centimeters
    • Wide or cropped trousers that change leg proportions

    Stray Kids members height compared with other groups

    How does Stray Kids compare with other famous boy groups? With an average of about 173 cm, they sit very close to many other fourth- and third-generation groups. Groups famous for tall members tend to average a bit higher, while groups with younger members at debut tend to average lower. Stray Kids are right in the middle, with a nice spread from Changbin to Hyunjin.

    If you want to compare one of the members with the average man in other countries, try our height by country tool. At 171 cm, Bang Chan would be slightly above average in Japan and close to average in Brazil or Turkey.

    Converting Stray Kids heights to feet

    Most profiles list heights in centimeters, so here is the quick math for international fans: divide centimeters by 2.54 to get inches, then divide by 12 to get feet. For example, Hyunjin’s 179 cm is 70.5 inches, which is 5 feet 10.5 inches. Changbin’s 167 cm is 65.7 inches, roughly 5 feet 5.5 inches.

    How do you compare with Stray Kids?

    Want to know which member you would stand next to at a fan sign? Measure yourself barefoot against a wall in the morning, when you are at your tallest, and keep your heels, back and head touching the wall. Mark the top of your head with a flat book, then measure from the floor to the mark. If you get around 171 cm, you are Bang Chan and Felix height. Around 178 cm puts you level with Seungmin, and if you are 167 cm, Changbin is your height twin.

    Keep in mind that height drops by up to a centimeter during the day as the spine compresses, so measurements taken in the evening come out a little shorter.
