Felix SKZ

Felix Yongbok Lee (born 15 September 2000), known mononymously as Felix (Korean: 필릭스), is an Australian rapper and singer based in South Korea. He is a member of the South Korean boy band Stray Kids, formed by JYP Entertainment in 2017. In addition to his work with Stray Kids, Felix has worked as a host for the music program Pops in Seoul (2019–2020), and serves as a global ambassador for Louis Vuitton, a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF Korea, and a global ambassador for Gong Cha. Initially, Felix found the difference between school life in Australia and trainee life in South Korea quite challenging, compounded by working to reach fluency in the Korean language. However, he was personally chosen by Stray Kids' leader, Bang Chan, to participate in the survival show after one year of training at JYP Entertainment. From 17 October to 19 December 2017, Felix appeared in the Mnet survival show Stray Kids, a show which ultimately allowed him to debut as a Stray Kids member. He faced elimination in the eighth episode, decided by Park Jin-young, the founder and CCO of JYP Entertainment. However, following careful consideration and a fan vote, Felix was reinstated in the group in the following episode. In 2018, Felix, along with the other Stray Kids members, was credited for the song lyrics for their pre-debut EP Mixtape. Felix officially debuted with Stray Kids on 25 March 2018, through their debut showcase of the group, Stray Kids Unveil (Op. 01: I Am Not), at Jangchung Arena. On the next day, Felix with Stray Kids released their EP titled I Am Not and the lead single "District 9" which they showcased during the debut showcase. In this album, he also participated in the lyrics making of song "Mixtape #1".
