Group Stray Kids has returned with a new album.

Stray Kids will release their new mini-album 'This & That' at 1 p.m. on the 7th. This is their first album release in approximately nine months since 'DO IT' from SKZ IT TAPE, which achieved eight consecutive weeks at number one on the US Billboard Main Album Chart 'Billboard 200' last November.

'This & That' embodies Stray Kids' boldness to break free from constraints and pursue what they want, filled with their free-spirited and relaxed energy.

The title track of the same name, 'This & That', is a hip-hop-based song that maximizes the group's signature chill and cool mood. With groovy tracks, languid yet addictive melodies, and lyrics that freely explore various choices, the eight members' firm confidence in their ability to achieve anything they desire shines through. The group's internal production team 3RACHA, consisting of Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han, who have directly participated in all album projects since debut, also contributed to writing and composing this title track.

The new album showcases Stray Kids' unique musical identity with a fresh spectrum, revealing the true value of 'music merchants'. The collection includes eight diverse tracks: 'RUN IT', which blends majestic brass with world beat rhythms; 'After You', a progressive house track capturing the moment of falling in love at first sight; 'FARMING', which wittily interprets farming concepts from games; 'I Do', a rock genre song featuring lively energy and catchy hooks; 'Way Out', an acoustic hip-hop track conveying calm breakup emotions; 'That Day', a band sound evoking late summer memories; and 'This & That (Festival Version)', which transforms the title track into a festive celebration.

Like their team name, which signifies finding and forging their own path, Stray Kids have continuously attempted new challenges with each album, expanding their unique route. Starting with their KSPO DOME concert series, where all five shows sold out completely, they are launching their new world tour 'RUN IT' to further expand their reach. As part of 'RUN IT', they are scheduled to hold a solo performance at Tokyo National Stadium on the 29th and 30th, marking the first-ever solo concert by an overseas male artist at that venue.

Alongside the new album release and world tour, Stray Kids will continue to shine as headliners on massive global festival stages. In September, they will make a spectacular appearance at Brazil's music festival 'Rock in Rio' and at the new group-led festivals 'STRAYCITY' held in Bogota, Colombia; Buenos Aires, Argentina; and Mexico City, Mexico, bringing the festivities to a grand finale.
