Stray Kids and Chris Hemsworth talk about the experiences of meeting one another

Both Stray Kids and Chris Hemsworth attended the Met Gala 2024 on May 6. The group made history as the first K-pop group to be invited as a whole. The group stood out, dressed in contrasting suits by Tommy Hilfiger.

During the event, the members had the opportunity to meet several international celebrities, including Hemsworth. In his Buzzfeed interview on May 20, Chris Hemsworth shared details about this unexpected meeting. He expressed how the members of Stray Kids, with their youthful energy, appeared adorably small next to his imposing stature.

“Yeah, I love them. They’re really like a bundle of energy and joy. I was like, 'I love you guys.' I picked them up and had a little wrestle with them."

A couple of days earlier, the group’s leader Bang Chan discussed their Met Gala experience, including meeting Hemsworth, in an interview with Billboard. He recounted,

"So we said ‘Hi,’ and then Chris was like, ‘Oh, I know you guys! You guys are two Australians — aww, come here, boys!’ He took really great care of us."

Talking about their MET Gala experience, Bang Chan said to Billboard—

"Because we didn’t know anything about MET Gala! So, we went in, and then as soon as we got in, we walked up the stairs, and then there was Anna Wintour, Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez and Chris Hemsworth."

Additionally, STAYs (Stray Kids' fans) even recalled an earlier interview where member Lee Know revealed that Thor was his favorite superhero. When asked which superhero he’d like to be, he chose Thor.
