Stray Kids to return with new album this summer: Report

Since their debut in 2018, Stray Kids has solidified place as one of the leading forces in the K-pop industry, captivating fans worldwide with their vocal prowess and dynamic performances. The anticipation for their next comeback has reached a fever pitch, and recent reports have finally shed light on what fans can expect.

According to a report from a prominent Korean media outlet All K-pop, Stray Kids is gearing up for a sensational return this summer with a brand-new album. While an official comeback date is yet to be announced, speculation is rife that it could happen in June, coinciding with the timing of several global music festivals.

This upcoming comeback holds significant importance for both the group and their dedicated fanbase, as it will mark their return to the spotlight after a hiatus of seven months since their last release, the critically acclaimed 8th EP "ROCK-STAR" in November 2023. As one of the trailblazers of the 4th generation K-pop wave, Stray Kids' comeback is eagerly awaited by fans and industry insiders alike.

During their hiatus, Stray Kids continued to enjoy immense success, cementing their status as one of the most influential groups in the industry. Their recent triumph at the 2024 ASEA Awards, where they were named Best Group and their studio album "5-STAR" won Album of the Year, further underscores their dominance in the music scene.

Formed in 2017 by JYP Entertainment, Stray Kids initially debuted as a nine-member group, but continued as an eight-piece ensemble after the departure of Kim Woojin in 2019. Led by Bangchan, the group comprises talented individuals who excel in various roles, from vocalists to producers to dancers, each contributing to the group's unique identity and sound.
