Stray Kids' Seungmin reveals wild 27th birthday plans

Seungmin of Stray Kids revealed a unique birthday itinerary he personally drafted while connecting with fans to celebrate his special day.

"It feels like time was deleted"... Recalling his last birthday in London

On September 22, 2026, Seungmin met with fans via a live broadcast held for his birthday. At the start of the stream, Seungmin shared his reflections on how quickly time has passed, saying, "I can't believe it's my birthday. It feels like time was especially deleted so quickly between last year's birthday and this year's." He recalled spending his birthday alone in his accommodation while on schedule in London last year, expressing his joy at being able to spend this birthday with fans instead.

Seungmin revealed that after returning to Korea, he celebrated his birthday by eating seaweed soup with his family. He jokingly mentioned a character cake prepared by his older sister, noting, "It was a puppy-shaped cake, so my heart hurt a little while eating it."

"From all-nighters to skydiving"... Seungmin's 'spectacular' itinerary

The highlight of the broadcast was the "birthday itinerary" written by Seungmin himself. While taking recommendations from fans, Seungmin presented a specific hourly schedule. According to the plan, he intends to hold a celebration party from midnight to 2:00 a.m., followed by watching movies and playing video games from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. He then presented a detailed plan to take a walk while watching the sunrise at the Han River at 6:00 a.m., followed by a breakfast of savory seaweed soup and white rice.

The afternoon schedule was even more unconventional. He revealed plans to take a nap, walk to a buffet for a meal, relax at an outdoor cafe with a terrace, and then go skydiving. Seungmin continued his whimsical planning, stating, "After skydiving, my body and mind might be exhausted, so I must eat abalone seaweed soup for dinner." Finally, he shared his plan to spend time eating fruit at the Han River at night and conclude the day at 24:00 with a "meditation time" to express gratitude to fans around the world.

"An idol in the next life, too"... Gratitude and reflections

Seungmin continued to connect with fans by answering questions sincerely. To the question, "Do you want to be an idol again even if you are born in the next life?", he expressed his affection for his career, saying, "Of course. How could I live without receiving all this love?" He also added that thanks to the birthday wishes received from various countries during his global schedule, he feels "wondrous and warm-hearted."

Recently, Seungmin mentioned that it is beneficial to stay away from his phone and have time to do nothing while on a plane, emphasizing the importance of self-reflection. He concluded the broadcast with gratitude toward fans, saying, "Since I have to get back to work immediately after my birthday passes, I will spend today starting with a celebration party and ending with meditation."
