For months, Felix antis and akgaes have openly organized campaigns demanding less Felix in Stray Kids, fewer individual opportunities, fewer brand activities, and reduced visibility.
What makes this situation increasingly concerning is that The way JYPE/ONE Label has handled Felix's career appears to align with those demands and it is becoming impossible to ignore.
1. THIS AND THAT Promotions
During the THIS AND THAT promotions, Felix was the only member with zero variety show appearance and zero external tiktok challenge.
The promotions are now over. We do not want last-minute damage control to silence criticism.
This is not about asking for special treatment. We are asking for Felix to receive fair opportunities, proper protection, and competent management.
And the issue goes beyond simply failing to protect Felix from hate campaigns. We are increasingly seeing the demands of Felix antis reflected in decisions affecting multiple areas of his career, from comeback promotions to withheld vlogs, restricted TikTok opportunities, and even his removal from Danceracha.
2. Withheld Vlogs and Content
Felix has filmed multiple vlogs and behind-the-scenes content during major schedules that fans have never received. His Shanghai schedules, including the F1 Chinese Grand Prix activities with adidas and Mercedes, are examples of content that appears to have been filmed but remains unreleased.
With potential new collaborations ahead, fans should not have to constantly wonder whether Felix's content will simply be withheld indefinitely.
3. Restrictions on TikTok Collaborations
Felix has been noticeably limited when it comes to external TikTok collaborations since 2024 . This is especially frustrating considering that Stray Kids' most successful collaborative TikTok challenges are all Felix's.
Why is an artist who has repeatedly proven his ability to generate attention and engagement through these collaborations being restricted from doing more of them?
4. Removal from Danceracha
Felix has never lacked the ability, dedication, or commitment required of a dancer. He continues to give his all on stage and fulfill his responsibilities as a performer. Removing him from an identity he has long been associated with without a proper explanation only adds to concerns about how his role and visibility are being handled.
5. Our Demands to JYPE/ONE Label
โข Stop allowing anti-Felix narratives and organized demands for less Felix to coincide with decisions that repeatedly limit his opportunities and visibility.
โข Provide meaningful online and offline protection against malicious rumors, harassment, defamation, and organized hate campaigns.
โข Stop unnecessarily restricting Felix's participation in variety shows, external TikTok collaborations, vlogs, SKZ-RECORD content, and other opportunities.
โข Reinstate Felix as part of Danceracha.
โข Stop indefinitely withholding individual content that has already been filmed.
โข Provide transparency and proper management regarding his individual activities and promotions.
6. Proper Promotion for Felix's Upcoming Solos and Collaborations
Since Felix is seemingly no longer being given opportunities to properly promote Stray Kids' releases ( following the same demands repeatedly made by Felix antis, which JYPE/ONE Label appears to prioritize over their own artist's career ) our main demand is for Felix's upcoming solos and collaborations which he has been teasing for months to receive proper, planned, and full-scale promotion.
7. Fix Felix's Artist Profiles
โข Add โUNFAIRโ to Felix's official Spotify artist profile.
โข Add the latest version of โREAWAKERโ to his correct Spotify profile and resolve the duplicate artist profile issue created by the release.
โข Fix Felix's multiple artist profiles on TIDAL.
โข Fix the duplicate Felix artist profiles on Deezer.
8. What We Expect for Future Releases
Most importantly, in Felix's upcoming solos and collaborations, we demand proper, planned, and full-scale promotion.
We expect at least the following:
โข An official announcement at least three weeks before release.
โข Announcemnt and promotion across all official social media platforms, including X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and more.
โข Pre-save and/or pre-order campaigns.
โข Proper music platforms promotion and playlisting across different platforms.
โข Official TikTok challenges and the freedom to participate in external TikTok collaborations.
โข Korean and international variety show appearances.
Felix should not have to lose opportunities, visibility, content, or promotion while a loud group of antis repeatedly demands less of him.
THIS AND THAT promotions are over. We do not want rushed, last-minute content as damage control. We want the underlying issues fixed before Felix's upcoming individual releases and collaborations.
JYPE/ONE Label is responsible for managing Felix's career, then they need to protect him, support him, and properly promote him.
And if the current team is unable to manage the opportunities, demand, and popularity Felix brings, then JYPE should consider placing his individual activities under a team that is actually capable of doing so.
Felix deserves proper promotion.
Felix deserves proper protection.
No more restrictions at Felix's expense.
JYPE TREAT FELIX FAIRLY

@Stray_Kids@stay_support@jypnation
let me say this again. idols r media trained & conditioned to avoid conflict w fans. we've seen how fans can react when their idols express their disapproval, so they must always put a smile to save face. he didnt come back to validate u, he came back bc that's his damn job.
๐ถ: why are there so many (stay) saying they're sorry for not giving us 1st place? it's totally fine! we're really thankful but as we always said, it's not about achievements. i want to express it very well... but please don't ever think that way. we're already so grateful and we're happy just being able to do music shows together like this. i hope we'll get more opportunities to meet like this again!
To @jypnation
You currently have one of the biggest K-Pop Artists in history as part of your company right now.
We urge ONE LABEL to prioritize meaningful Korean and international promotions for Stray Kidsโ next comeback instead of planning a rushed tour with no efforts to promote their art. Too many opportunities have already been missed, with their last Western show dating back to 2022, and their very last variety show as a full group being Running Man in 2024. There was no performance video prepared ever since 2024, despite the video gaining positive attention globally. We request you to send Stray Kids to variety programs, and other international platforms to promote their music and celebrate their One of a kind history-making Billboard achievements this century.
Fans want to see their hard work supported with genuine promotional opportunities, not just attaching billboard advertisements on the streets. This is the least they deserve. ๐ค
@hyunnnlixie The way I saw a post about it again saying, โHyunjin still doesn't know that Han also found it, and he could have received a hug too, and he saw it first,โ when he mentioned only Felix again. Like, people, Hyunjin knows that already!
