Idol group Stray Kids (Stray Kids: Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, I.N) cautiously expressed their stance on the recent issue regarding the proposed new Asian Pop category at the Grammy Awards, which gained attention following BTS's boycott.

Stray Kids held a comeback album press conference at the Grand Ballroom on the 3rd floor of Conrad Seoul at 2 p.m. on the 6th. Stray Kids will release their new mini-album 'THIS & THAT' and title track 'This & That' at 1 p.m. tomorrow, the 7th.

On this day, when asked about the Grammy Awards submission, Stray Kids held back their words, stating, "There are many diverse perspectives, but we write lyrics based on what comes from our hearts, so we are conveying the stories we want to tell. We are grateful that K-pop is loved and have come to realize the power of music. Since we are providing positive influence, we will continue to create and share our stories."

They continued, "It has been over a year since our last concert. We feel happiness and a sense of accomplishment in performing with our music, and this time as well, we achieved good results." They also revealed their longing, saying, "We are still hungry. We have a strong desire to reach out to fans we haven't met yet."

'THIS & THAT' is the new work following SKZ IT TAPE's 'DO IT', which last year made history as the first artist globally to achieve eight consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. The album reflects Stray Kids' versatility and justified confidence in doing everything (THIS) and anything (THAT). Through this new album, Stray Kids are expected to once again prove their broad musical spectrum, offering a variety of tracks ranging from refreshing songs perfect for summer listening to high-energy anthems that radiate intense heat, providing the fun of selecting and enjoying songs at different temperatures.

'This & That' is a groovy track based on the hip-hop genre, maximizing the group's chill and cool mood.

Meanwhile, ahead of the new monthly album release, Stray Kids held their new world tour 'Stray Kids World Tour <RUN IT>' at Seoul KSPO DOME from July 25–26, 29, and August 1–2.
