In that show Felix and Lee know were originally eliminated from the group, Felix due to his Korean not being the best and Lee know because JYP labelled his raps weak so to speak.

Where to watch their live streams:
Stray Kids Official YouTube
Often in more recent times you can catch them live on the stray kids Official YouTube, their personal Instagram accounts, and sometimes on platforms like TikTok ?¿? (Don’t use tiktok so unsure abt last one)
There isn’t really a set streaming schedule!
* They also are regularly active on the platform “Bubble” !! (This is a subscription based platform! If anyone wants more info on such just say!)
Where do people often watch their content outside idol stuff:
Often times you’ll see compilations of the skz members interacting with each other most of the clips are from their series on YouTube called “Stray Kids Code”! It is free to watch and has an English sub.
SKZ CODE
You can also look up various stray kid interviews by just typing “stray kids interview” into YouTube!
Where can you get Photo cards? (More reliably)
- Amazon (generally sold in packs)
- Etsy (can purchase individual or packs)
- Albums (normally they come with a few)
(Other merch can also be found on these platforms some official and some not!)
If your also looking for official merch and your uncertain of various sellers online than you can also get it directly off the JYPshop website ! (if it’s a popular item like a skzoo plush it’ll sell out super fast! As of time of posting there’s quite a few items sold out on there)
Note: if you’re looking for super cheap unofficial photocards I highly recommend the user JustBTSArt on Etsy! (Not sponsored just someone who’s bought a lot from them!)
