The idol group Stray Kids (Stray Kids: Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, I.N) explained why they strive to create challenging and experimental music.

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 its title track 'This & That' at 1 p.m. on the 7th.

On this day, Stray Kids stated, "While there are safe options when making music, we always choose to take on challenges and experiments because they are more fun." They added, "When creating music, there are inevitably difficulties and variables along the path of taking risks, but through this process, we learn a great deal. If we kept doing the same things, our interest would wane, so it seems we are driven to try new things."

They also said, "We are still hungry. We have a strong desire to reach out directly to STAYs around the world who have never met us yet, and we believe this sentiment will continue into the future."

Continuing, they remarked, "We recently toured South America for the first time, and it was truly enjoyable. Even though South America is a distant region, we felt the immense love we received there. It wasn't just because we wanted to hold festivals; rather, thanks to STAYs who supported us so greatly with their overwhelming love, we were able to host these events." They added, "We want to convey the passion and love we feel through our performances in any way possible. Starting from South America, we will showcase our stage in various regions around the world."

'THIS & THAT' is a new work following 'DO IT' from SKZ IT TAPE (Stray Kids It Tape), which made history last year as the first global artist to achieve eight consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. The album embodies Stray Kids' versatility and well-founded confidence, capturing their ability to do everything ("this" and "that"). Through this new album, Stray Kids are expected to demonstrate an even broader musical spectrum once again, offering a collection of tracks ranging from refreshing summer vibes to intense, fiery energy, providing fans with the joy of selecting songs at various emotional temperatures.

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

Meanwhile, ahead of the new 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.
