Christopher Chahn Bahng, known professionally as Bang Chan, is an Australian singer, dancer and member of STRAY KIDS (스트레이 키즈). He was born in South Korea but moved to Sydney during his childhood. He returned in 2010 to become a trainee and graduated from Cheongdam High School.

He participated in an audition show created by JYP Entertainment (JYP엔터테인먼트) and was chosen to be part of the resulting group. He made his debut in March 2018 as STRAY KIDS' leader, producer, vocalist, dancer and rapper with their first EP, "I Am Not".

He is also part of the in-house production team 3RACHA (쓰리라차), consisting of Changbin, Han and himself. They have been releasing self-produced tracks on SoundCloud since 2017 (using the stage name CB97) and act as the group's main producing team, as they are almost self-produced, with JYP providing minimal support and mainly acting as their representative.

He became a Fendi ambassador in January 2025.
