Stray Kids Returns with 'THIS & THAT' After 9 Months

Stray Kids will release a new mini-album 'THIS & THAT' and its title track of the same name on August 7 at 1 PM KST. This marks their comeback approximately 9 months after releasing 'DO IT' in November 2025. The group's in-house production team 3RACHA (Bang Chan, Changbin, Han) participated in producing all tracks. Members stated they 'prepared without regret' and described the album as 'an album with many new attempts.' The title track 'THIS & THAT' features a catchy, witty public-friendly yet fresh sound that differs from previous title tracks, completing 'Stray Kids' identity through their performance. Changbin explained they put considerable thought into finding trendy words to express 'this and that,' and the production process including a music video with Korean aesthetics and choreography revised multiple times was revealed. Stray Kids previously achieved 8 consecutive number-one entries on Billboard 200 with 'DO IT' and are an 8-member multinational boy group under JYP Entertainment, debuting in March 2018.
