At the end of an exhausting world tour, most bands would take a well-earned break. Not Stray Kids. Within weeks of wrapping up their record-breaking DominATE shows this summer - including two sold-out nights at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - the Korean band released a new album, Karma. It was their second album in under a year; during which time they'd also released a new EP and a mixtape featuring tracks from each of the eight members.
They also made a debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and became the fifth biggest selling act globally last year, just behind Taylor Swift and Drake. Stray Kids write and produce their own music, which is no small feat considering their busy touring schedule.
Rapper and vocalist Han shares how the group collaborates: We split up the parts as much as we could and shared the work among the members. Whenever we had a bit of time to record demo tracks, we'd gather in the room together to finish the songs as a team.
Their sound is diverse, ranging from Brazilian rhythms to pop-punk tones, with standout tracks like 'Bleep' addressing their critics. Despite numerous accolades, member Bang Chan expressed humility, stating, Successful is a really strong word. I honestly do not have the confidence to judge if we are indeed successful or not.
As they look to the future, Stray Kids are eager to explore more genres and possibly collaborate with notable artists like Coldplay. They aim to be recognized as one of the longest-lasting groups in history.
Ultimately, Stray Kids may have achieved phenomenal success, but they maintain that their journey is far from over, promising new music and more ambitious projects on the horizon.
