Stray Kids Fanfiction Portrays Hyunjin in a Mother Role

In the Korean K-pop fan community, a specific fanfiction trope involving Stray Kids' Hyunjin as a mother figure is generating discussion. This trend primarily originates from fan-written stories, known as "빙의글" (bing-ui-geul), where members are cast in various fictional family roles. The concept gains traction among fans who enjoy imagining the idols in unique, narrative-driven scenarios.

One notable fanfiction series, "[스키즈 빙의글] 함께라서 스트레이키즈" (Stray Kids Together, Episode 14), explicitly features Hyunjin in a maternal role. In this story, during a fictional self-produced content segment called "슼둥가족 리턴즈" (Skz Family Returns), Hyunjin is portrayed as the mother and Han as the father to Changbin. The narrative includes a scene where Changbin introduces his girlfriend, Yebin, to "Mom" Hyunjin and "Dad" Han, with Hyunjin engaging in dialogue about Yebin's age.

Local bloggers and fanfiction writers create these stories to explore imaginative dynamics within the group, offering a creative outlet for fans. These narratives, while fictional, allow readers to engage with their favorite idols in new contexts, often highlighting playful interactions and character interpretations. Such fan-created content is a significant part of the K-pop fandom culture, providing entertainment and fostering community among "STAYs," Stray Kids' official fanbase.
