The Love Saga Continues: Hugh Jackman Continues to Show His Appreciation for K-Pop Band Stray Kids After Complimenting Member Hyunjin's Painting
Eagle-eyed STAYS, the fans of K-Pop band Stray Kids, have spotted the latest interaction between their favs and Australian superstar Hugh Jackman.
In a post yesterday, Stray Kids' Hyunjin uploaded a video, demonstrating how he paints - and in a move that surprised many, and cemented Jackman's status as a true Stray Kids fan, the X-Men actor commented: "An amazing artist you are."
Not only did Jackman sum up all STAY's feelings about Hyunjin's art, but this latest interaction proves to continue the saga of mutual love and admiration that started back when Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds first jokingly apologized to Jackman and announced that his new favorite Australians were Stray Kids' Bangchan and Felix.
Two things.

First, I have your autograph right here, Bang Chan. Will send to you this week.
Second, as a new @Stray_Kids fan, can I get an autograph? #NewFavouriteAustralian pic.twitter.com/uoiwTthoHp
The eight-member K-Pop band first caught the attention of Reynolds after the group performed a Deadpool-inspired performance during the idol reality competition show Kingdom: Legendary War.
After a cute exchange where Reynolds sent Bangchan an autographed bottle of his Aviation gin, and Bangchan sent back an autographed copy of Stray Kids' first repackaged album IN LIFE, Jackman laughingly passed the torch of Reynolds' "favorite Australian" role in a Tweet that sent STAYS rolling in their seats.
Haha thanks for the heads up! We’ll keep an eye on him 😂 Luckily all our members are just like him so we reckon we’ll be able to handle him 😉

Now, it seems that the Wolverine actor has continued to keep tabs on Stray Kids with this newest exchange. Hyunjin himself must have received word of Jackman's kind words, as he responded with "Thank you :) I'm very honored."
Later, STAYS interpreted a stutter in Hyunjin's messages on Bubble, a social media site where idols can interact directly with fans, as the K-Pop idol's continued disbelief over what had occurred.
We're happy to see Stray Kids receiving the attention of these famous Hollywood actors - and "favorite Australian" is high praise indeed.
Stray Kids released their sixth Korean EP, Oddinary back in March 18, 2022. They're set to release a new Japanese EP, titled Circus on June 22, 2022.
