On March 20, 2025, Stray Kids' Hyunjin celebrated his 25th birthday with fans through a live broadcast. The idol interacted with viewers, shared fun moments, and made a long birthday wish before blowing out his candles.

However, one moment from the broadcast stood out and deeply touched fans. During the stream, Hyunjin recalled that as a child, he had always wanted an older sister. When a fan asked if he had ever wanted a younger sister, he responded that he would be too anxious to live peacefully if he had one in today's world.

"younger sister? if i had one, i think i would be too worried to live. in this kind of world now... a sister who's younger than me? i'd be anxious."

His remark touched fans, who flocked to X to praise his thoughts. Many admired his understanding of the struggles women face, calling the Stray Kids member a "feminist icon." An X user, @_doolsetcherry, wrote:

"he's the greenest green flag ever existed," an X user wrote.
"Not often I see men understanding how difficult it is being a woman in this world, seeing this , knowing that he gets it, and he knows, made me sigh in relief. Like oomf said it felt comforting in a way," a fan mentioned.
"That tells you enough about his personality," a user commented.
While some found his words sad, they also saw it as a sign of his kindhearted personality.
"Hyunjin feelings are very valid. Yes, it's kinda sad to hear, but it's true. This kind of world," a fan commented.
"nothing more attractive than a man knowing and acknowledging how rotten the world is," an X user wrote.
"i've always felt like he's giving older brother vibe, especially from the way he treats the maknae line but yeah he's right the world aren't kind to young women," a netizen remarked.
