Bang Chan is back — and he’s doing it solo, sleek, and straight from Rome. The Stray Kids leader has teamed up with Fendi for ‘Roman Empire’, an R&B-laced track where luxury meets legacy, with a music video filmed at the Italian fashion house’s iconic Roman HQ, Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana.
From sweeping city shots to marble-arched backdrops, ‘Roman Empire’ feels more like a fashion film than a standard K-pop MV. Bang Chan takes full creative lead here — writing, producing, and composing the track — layering dreamy synths, bass-heavy beats, and vocals that flow like silk robes in the wind.
Lyrically, he draws parallels between the rise and fall of empires and the intensity of love, wrapping it in poetic nods to Fendi’s icons — the Peekaboo bag, the FF monogram, Roman silhouettes. Every frame is styled to stun, with Bang Chan dressed in looks from Fendi’s Spring/Summer 2026 Pre-Collection, further blurring the line between artist and muse.
The track and visuals together mark a fresh chapter in K-pop and luxury collabs — not just a brand tie-in, but a fully realised sonic and visual universe. Whether you’re here for the music, the fashion, or both, ‘Roman Empire’ is a cinematic experience worth ruling your replay button.
