We’ve seen his recent Bubble messages and we’re honestly really worried about him. He’s been opening up about struggling to breathe while he sleeps and mentioned that he almost died in his sleep again. Yes, again. This has happened twice now that we know of. That’s terrifying to hear. He also said he needs nose surgery to fix it, but then he laughs it off like it’s no big deal. That part scares us the most because health isn’t something you should joke about.

We know that he has sleep apnea. This condition causes him to stop breathing multiple times during the night. It’s not just uncomfortable, it’s genuinely dangerous. Not getting enough oxygen while sleeping can affect his energy, his focus during long practices and performances, his mood, and his overall health over time. He already works so incredibly hard for STAY and the members every single day. He deserves to rest peacefully at night instead of fighting to breathe.

We know how dedicated Chan is. He’s always putting everyone else first, the group, the fans, the schedules. But right now we really need him to put himself first. Sleep apnea isn’t something that just goes away on its own. Doctors have recommended surgery to open up his airways so he can breathe properly. That’s not a small thing. It’s important for his long-term well-being.

Whether his nose looks different or not, he will still be our Bang Chan. He will still be the same warm, talented, funny, kind-hearted leader we all love so much. He’ll still be our Chan. Nothing about his personality or his talent will change. His voice might be a tiny bit different for a while, but we’ll love that version of him too.

Laughing about nearly dying in his sleep is his way of coping, we get that. But it breaks our hearts because we know deep down he’s stressed. He shouldn’t have to carry that fear every night when he goes to bed. We want him to feel safe and healthy, not scared that he might stop breathing.

Please, JYP, give him the time and support he needs to get this surgery done properly. Let him recover without rushing back to work. His health has to come before any schedule or comeback. STAY will still be here waiting for him, cheering him on even louder once he’s feeling better.

We’re not asking for anything unreasonable. We just want him to be able to sleep safely, wake up feeling rested, and continue doing what he loves without his body struggling every night. Sleep apnea can lead to bigger problems if left untreated, and we don’t want that for him at all.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Every signature here is from someone who genuinely cares about Chan’s health and happiness. Please prioritize his well-being and let him get the nose surgery he needs as soon as possible. We’ll keep supporting him through everything, before and after. He deserves to be healthy and safe. We love you, Chan. Please take care of yourself.
