Felix

Felix (이용복) is the Australian-Korean rapper, dancer, and visual disruptor of Stray Kids, the eight-member group under JYP Entertainment that turned self-produced intensity into a global arena business. Born in Sydney on September 15, 2000, he moved to Korea as a trainee and debuted with the group on March 25, 2018 after the survival-show rollout that built Stray Kids from the ground up.

What separates Felix is contrast. His low register has become one of the most recognizable voices in fourth-generation K-pop, but his stage appeal is not built on novelty alone. He moves with unusual precision, shifts easily between aggression and softness, and gives Stray Kids a visual focal point that works just as well in performance content as it does in luxury fashion campaigns.

That crossover has become a major part of his public profile. Felix has fronted global work for Louis Vuitton, HERA, adidas, and Samsung, while also serving as an honorary cultural ambassador for the French Embassy in Korea in 2026. Few current idols move as comfortably between group blockbuster releases and premium-brand storytelling.

Fans Also Ask

What group is Felix in?
Felix is a member of Stray Kids, the eight-member boy group formed through JYP Entertainment's 2017 survival show and officially launched on March 25, 2018. The group has become one of K-pop's biggest global touring acts, stacking multiple Billboard 200 No. 1 albums across the 2020s.
Where is Felix from?
Felix was born in Sydney, Australia on September 15, 2000. He is widely described as Australian-Korean because he grew up in Australia before relocating to Korea to train at JYP Entertainment. That bilingual background made him one of the most internationally legible members of Stray Kids from debut.
Is Felix a Louis Vuitton ambassador?
Yes. Felix has been one of Louis Vuitton's highest-visibility K-pop ambassadors, appearing at runway events and brand campaigns as the house deepened its investment in Korean talent. His luxury profile later expanded with additional global partnerships across beauty, sportswear, and consumer-tech categories.
Why is Felix's voice so recognizable?
Felix's speaking and rap tone sits unusually low for a mainstream male idol, which gives Stray Kids tracks an immediate texture shift when he enters a verse or hook. The contrast between that bass-heavy delivery and his lighter melodic phrasing helped turn his parts into some of the group's most replayed moments.
What brands has Felix worked with?
Felix's major partnerships include Louis Vuitton, HERA, adidas, Samsung Galaxy, Gong cha, and the French Embassy in Korea. That mix matters because it spans luxury fashion, beauty, tech, beverage marketing, and cultural diplomacy, showing how brands now use him as both a style figure and a mass-reach global face.
