Stray Kids is JYP Entertainment’s 8-member boy band formed in March 2018. The group’s name “Stray Kids” stands for their determination to break and escape from tradition, formalities, and the old system. All members not only are talented in vocals, rap, and performance, but have also been credited for producing the majority of Stray Kids’ unique discography.
Stray Kids were crowned winners of “Top K-Pop Album” at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards and “Best K-Pop” at the 2023 MTV VMAs with their full-length album ★★★★★ (5-STAR). The album sold over 4.61 million copies during the first week of its release which, at the time, became the highest 1st week number in K-Pop history. The group also won “Group of the Year” at the 2024 People’s Choice Awards, “K-Pop Album of the Year” at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards, and “Top Global K-Pop Artist” at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards.
Stray Kids were featured on the soundtrack of Netflix’s animated series Arcane (Season 2) based on the game League of Legends with “Come Play”. In addition, their track “SLASH” was featured on the soundtrack of the film Deadpool & Wolverine (Deadpool & Wolverine Original Motion Picture Soundtrack).
In 2025, the group released their 3rd Japanese EP Hollow, which topped several Japanese charts, including RecoChoku and iTunes, and ranked No.1 on iTunes’ overall song charts in eight countries including Mexico, Sweden, and Poland. The music video hit No. 1 on YouTube’s global trending chart and ranked high in countries such as the United States, Japan, and Brazil.
Not only did they debut seven consecutive albums as No.1 on the Billboard 200 Chart with their latest release KARMA, but they became the artist with the most RIAA Gold Album Certifications of any K-Pop artist in history with their Gold-Certified album HOP [2024]. Stray Kids won’t stop breaking through all geographical and cultural boundaries to resonate deeply with global listeners.
Global superstars Stray Kids celebrate the next chapter of their era-defining success with the release of their highly-anticipated SKZ IT TAPE ‘DO IT’, out today via JYP Entertainment / IMPERIAL / Republic Records—listen HERE.
After making Billboard history with their record-breaking #1 album KARMA earlier this fall, Stray Kids are once again ready to ignite the global music scene with their boldest sound yet. The group—who became the first act in history to have their first seven Billboard 200 entries debut at #1—return with their latest offering ‘DO IT’ following their largest-ever world tour, Stray Kids World Tour <dominATE>, which spanned 56 shows across 35 regions. The tour culminated in their first-ever stadium concert in Korea at Incheon Asiad Main Stadium, solidifying Stray Kids’ status as the world’s top-performing K-Pop act.
‘DO IT’ captures the most confident and defining moment of Stray Kids’ career so far. Opening the new SKZ IT TAPEseries, the record embodies the group’s boundless energy and determination to “act boldly with confidence,” reflecting both their fearless artistry and connection with fans worldwide. ‘DO IT’ features five tracks, including the double title tracks “Do It” and “DIVINE,” along with new songs “Holiday,” “Photobook,” and “Do It (Festival Version).” “Do It” pulses with a reggaeton-inspired beat, delivering a message of trusting your instincts and moving forward without hesitation—watch the music video HERE. Meanwhile, “DIVINE” infuses a free-spirited boom bap rhythm, channeling the liberating excitement of Stray Kids as modern-day musical divines. Once again, 3RACHA—Bang Chan, Changbin, and HAN—took the helm in writing and producing all tracks, continuing their signature hands-on approach.
The project follows their electrifying KARMA era, which saw Stray Kids achieve triple million sales in the first week, become the best-selling K-Pop album of 2025 (first week sales), and debut at #1 on the Billboard 200. Its lead single “CEREMONY” entered the Billboard Hot 100 at #52 marking the group’s fourth entry on the chart and charted on Spotify’s Global Top Songs for six consecutive days—the longest run this year for a K-Pop boy group.
At the finale of their <dominATE> tour last month, Stray Kids surprised fans worldwide with the mysterious ‘DO IT’ comeback trailer, which trended in over 60 regions including the U.S. and Japan and topped YouTube’s Worldwide Music Video Trending Chart. The reveal sparked explosive excitement among STAY and marked the dawn of a new musical chapter. Having journeyed across a distance equivalent to circling the Earth seven times, Stray Kids now channel that unstoppable energy into DO IT—a project that captures their relentless spirit: “We Do It when we say we will.”
Stray Kids’ monumental success continues across global stages and award shows alike. In 2025 alone, they have earned major honors at the American Music Awards, iHeartRadio Music Awards, Kids’ Choice Awards, Japan Gold Disc Awards, K-World Dream Awards, The Fact Music Awards, and Korea Grand Music Awards. Not to mention, their YouTube channel surpassed 20 million subscribers and their TikTok exceeded 30 million followers, making them one of the most followed K-Pop acts in the world. With 17 music videos surpassing 100 million views, they hold the record for the most among 4th generation K-Pop boy groups. Recently, members HAN, Felix, Seungmin, and I.Nhave also showcased their versatility by contributing to various Korean drama original soundtracks.
Global superstars Stray Kids recently ignited a powerful new chapter with their latest release, SKZ IT TAPE ‘DO IT’, and now the group once again reaches unprecedented career milestones and rewrites Billboard 200 history. With ‘DO IT’ debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200 Chart, Stray Kids are the first act in history to debut their first eight charting albums at #1 on the Billboard 200. They also extended their record as the K-Pop act with the most #1 albums in Billboard 200 history and the group with the most #1 Billboard 200 albums of the 21st century. With this latest achievement, Stray Kids now tie U2 for the third-most #1 albums on the Billboard 200, ranking just behind The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Not to mention, it was also revealed that Stray Kids received six new RIAA Certifications across their catalogue, including a Platinum Certification for their single “God’s Menu,” and Gold Certifications for their previous album KARMA and fan favorite singles “LALALALA,” “Chk Chk Boom,” “S-Class,” and “Case 143.” These historic achievements firmly solidify Stray Kids as one of the most dominant forces in global music today.
