JYP Entertainment has set the K-pop world abuzz with the confirmation of Stray Kids‘ impending return. On September 19, a representative from the company shed light on the group’s current endeavors, revealing that they’re indeed immersed in recording a new album. However, fans must hold onto their excitement a tad longer as the release date remains under wraps. “We will announce the details once everything is firmly in place,” the representative remarked.

Following this announcement, it’s impossible not to reflect on the monumental success of Stray Kids‘ previous album. Their third full-length album, ‘★★★★★’ (Five Star), released in June, wasn’t just another album; it was a testament to the group’s escalating popularity. Not only did it go to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart, but it also shattered sales records. Within a week, the album sold a staggering 3,617,499 copies, an unparalleled achievement in the K-pop industry.
But the accolades didn’t stop there. They further solidified their global prominence by taking home the Best K-Pop trophy for their hit single “S-Class” at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards. Such recognition underscores the group’s undeniable talent and the unwavering support of their fanbase.
