The group Stray Kids became a hot topic on a variety show. On the January 16th broadcast of KBS 2TV's Lunar New Year special variety show "Soul Beam Stray Kids: Woke Up in the Joseon Dynasty," the members who time-slipped to the Joseon Dynasty were shown carrying out a mission to return to 2026.

The members showcased their talents to obtain the talisman for returning to 2026. Changbin appeared dressed as a bounty hunter and boasted, "I can speak with my chest," highlighting his skill in moving his chest muscles. When member Han cautioned, "Didn't the company tell you not to do that?" Changbin humorously replied, "There's no company in the Joseon Dynasty," filling the scene with laughter.

In the following "Puffed Rice Punishment Game," the members' fearless charges drew cheers from fans. Hyunjin and Changbin, Han and Lee Know, Felix and Seungmin, and I.N and Bang Chan formed teams to take on the mission of eating puffed rice from both sides. The team of Hyunjin and Changbin especially caught attention. When Changbin provoked, "Should you come, or should I go?" Hyunjin, flustered, immediately charged at Changbin, exciting the audience. Changbin laughed heartily, saying, "Our lips touched," creating a playful atmosphere.

After a fierce competition, the team of I.N and Bang Chan won. I.N set an astonishing record of 1 cm by quickly eating the puffed rice held in Bang Chan's mouth. MC Lee Soo-geun, upon seeing this, exclaimed in surprise, "What is this? 1 cm?"

In the end, the members obtained the talisman to go to 2026, but the place they arrived at was the set of the 1988 show "Family Entertainment." When Lee Soo-geun asked the members, who had fallen back into the Joseon Dynasty, "What sin did you commit in your past life that you still can't return?" the members jokingly replied, "The sin of stealing fans' hearts," showing their love for their fans.

This broadcast brought great joy to viewers by showcasing Stray Kids' humor and teamwork. The members embraced their individuality while taking on the missions, and the various episodes that unfolded brought laughter to the audience. Through variety shows, Stray Kids is further strengthening communication with their fans.
