Stray Kids member Hyunjin experienced a nerve-wracking moment on stage after briefly losing — and later recovering — an earring reportedly worth around 80 million KRW (approximately $60,000).
On December 25, the 2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon took place at Inspire Arena in Yeongjongdo, Incheon. Stray Kids performed as a full group, closing out the stage with a powerful set.
However, shortly after the performance, Hyunjin realized that one of his earrings was missing. The piece was later reported to be a Cartier earring valued at 80 million KRW, instantly sparking buzz among fans.
Hyunjin shared the incident on the fan communication platform Bubble, writing, “If it weren’t for Yongbok (Felix’s Korean name) today, I would’ve gone home crying. The earring came off during the performance — thank you for finding it.”
According to Hyunjin, during the finale when all artists came out to greet the audience, he began searching for the missing earring. Felix eventually found it, bringing immediate relief. A video showing Hyunjin tightly hugging Felix afterward has since circulated among fans, drawing attention online.
Meanwhile, the event was hosted by DAY6’s Young K, NCT’s Jaemin, and IVE’s Ahn Yu-jin, with ENHYPEN leading a lineup of K-pop groups delivering hit performances and limited-run special stages.
