July 12, 2026 Korean-Australian 171 cm 62 kg Type AB ENFJ Virgo
Felix, born Felix Yong-bok Lee on September 15, 2000, in Seven Hills, Sydney, Australia, is the lead rapper, lead dancer, and vocalist of Stray Kids under JYP Entertainment. Raised in Australia to Korean parents, he trained in taekwondo for twelve years before being scouted by JYP Entertainment through a message on Facebook, relocating to South Korea in 2017 to become a trainee. After appearing on the Mnet survival show Stray Kids and being voted back into the lineup following a brief elimination, Felix officially debuted with the group on March 25, 2018. He is instantly recognizable for his deep, resonant baritone voice — often called the "bass of the group" — which anchors standout lines across the group's biggest hits, including "God's Menu" and "Side Effects." As part of Dance Racha alongside Lee Know and Hyunjin, Felix brings sharp, athletic energy to Stray Kids' choreography and is known for his soft, elf-like visual that has made him a favorite face in global fashion. Since 2023, he has served as Louis Vuitton's Global House Ambassador, making his Paris Fashion Week runway debut in March 2024, and in 2026 became a global icon and ambassador for Adidas. Standing 171 cm tall with an ENFJ personality, Felix balances his warm, sunny charisma with a dedicated creative side, having released solo material including "Deep End" and collaborated on the soundtrack single "Genie" with fellow members Han and I.N. A committed philanthropist and member of Save the Children's Honors Club, Felix represents the rare idol whose vocal identity, dance skill, and fashion influence have each individually made him one of Stray Kids' most distinctive global stars.
Story
Biography
Who Is Felix of Stray Kids?
Felix (필릭스, born Felix Yong-bok Lee), is the lead rapper, lead dancer, and vocalist of Stray Kids, the JYP Entertainment boy group that has become one of the most influential acts in global K-pop. Born September 15, 2000, in Seven Hills, Sydney, Australia, Felix is instantly recognizable for his striking baritone voice — famously nicknamed the “bass of the group” — and his soft, elf-like visual that has made him a leading face in international fashion.
From Sydney to Seoul
Felix grew up in Australia to Korean parents, practicing taekwondo for twelve years and earning a black belt before he was ever scouted for K-pop. A message on Facebook from a JYP Entertainment recruiter changed his path, leading him to audition and later move to South Korea in February 2017 to begin training. Despite briefly being eliminated during the Mnet survival show Stray Kids due to language barriers, he was brought back by popular vote and officially debuted with the group on March 25, 2018.
The Group’s Signature Deep Voice
Felix’s cavernous, distinctive vocal tone has become one of Stray Kids’ most talked-about musical signatures, delivering standout lines in songs like “God’s Menu,” “Side Effects,” and “Christmas EveL.” As part of the group’s unofficial dance sub-unit Dance Racha alongside Lee Know and Hyunjin, he is also known for high-energy stunts and sharp, athletic choreography.
A Global Face of Fashion
Since August 2023, Felix has served as Louis Vuitton’s Global House Ambassador, making his runway debut at Paris Fashion Week in March 2024 and later attending New York Fashion Week. In 2026, he was appointed as Adidas’ global icon and ambassador, further cementing his status as one of K-pop’s most prominent style figures. He has also released his own solo material, including “Deep End” (2022) and the fan-favorite unreleased track “Rev It Up,” while remaining an active philanthropist through his long-running support of Save the Children.
Combining a warm, sunny personality with striking artistic range, Felix continues to represent Stray Kids as a rapper, dancer, vocalist, and one of the group’s most globally recognized style ambassadors.
