‘Global Sensation’ Stray Kids Release New Mini Album ‘ATE’ on July 19th!
Stray Kids have firmly established themselves as a leading K-pop group on the global stage, continually growing with their self-produced music. Their mini-album ‘ODDINARY,’ released in March 2022, debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart. This was followed by their October 2022 mini-album ‘MAXIDENT,’ their third full album ‘★★★★★ (5-STAR)’ in June 2023, and their November mini-album ‘樂-STAR.’ Each of these albums also reached number one on the Billboard 200 chart. Notably, the title track ‘Rock (樂)’ from ‘樂-STAR’ secured the 90th position on the Billboard ‘Hot 100,’ marking the first time a fourth-generation K-pop boy group entered this chart.
Stray Kids have further elevated K-pop’s global stature by sweeping trophies at various international award ceremonies. They won the ‘Best K-Pop’ category at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards with their title track ‘S-Class’ from the album ‘★★★★★ (5-STAR).’ Additionally, at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards in November, they received the ‘Top K-Pop Album’ award for ‘★★★★★ (5-STAR).’ Their success continued into 2024, winning ‘Group of the Year’ at the February 2024 People’s Choice Awards and ‘K-Pop Album of the Year’ at the April 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards.
This summer, with the release of their new album ‘ATE,’ Stray Kids will headline three major music festivals: ‘I-Days’ in Milan, Italy, ‘BST Hyde Park’ in London, UK, and ‘Lollapalooza Chicago’ in the USA.
With their unique group color and individuality, Stray Kids are set to captivate worldwide fans with their new mini album ‘ATE’ released on July 19th.

No esperaba que Stray Kids pudiera superarse, pero con su mini-álbum ‘ATE’ me han dejado sorprendido. La energía en los nuevos sencillos como ‘Chk Chk Ver.’ y el exuberante estilo de la versión ‘Boom’ son prueba de cómo estos artistas no temen experimentar. Inicialmente pensé que se quedaría atrapado en patrones familiares, sin embargo, cada melodía captura algo fresco e innovador a través de un sonido maduro difícil de ignorar. Es fascinante ver esta evolución creativa continuar desarrollándose con tanto vigor. Definitivamente puedo decir ahora que este trabajo merece mi atención por lo completo y cautivador; además marca una conexión profunda al explorar temas más emocionales.

Embracing the soundscapes of Stray Kids’ latest offering, ‘ATE,’ feels akin to a carnival where eclectic vibes merge into a whirlwind experience. Each track showcases not only their rhythmic prowess but also embodies the sentiments weaved through modern youth struggles across borders. The potency of beats cradles introspective lyrics that pulse like heartbeats amidst frenetic rhythms; it’s as if they’re simultaneously carrying on conversations with distant dreamers and city-dwellers alike. In particular, songs like ‘Chk Chk’ elevate energy while acknowledging darker themes beneath melodies crafted with exquisite precision—a true hallmark of this generation’s angst transformed beautifully into art.

Listening to ‘Chk Chk Ver.’ feels like a dance under neon lights in Busan; every note pulsates as though it’s enacting a joyous street festival filled with laughter and heart-pounding energy. Contrast this with ‘Boom Ver.’, where there’s an undercurrent of introspection—a journey resonating from the streets of Los Angeles all the way back home to Seoul’s bustling cityscape. Stray Kids don’t merely play songs; they share emotions wrapped in rhythms that both uplift and echo deeper sentiments, revealing why their artistry resonates across continents.
