Stray Kids open a surreal THIS & THAT world with Kim Seung Min's LP
Stray Kids reveal the THIS & THAT trailer, linking Kim Seung Min's LP, Yoo Byung Jae's pre-trailer cameo and their August 7 comeback.
A Surreal Space Unfolding with Kim Seung Min's LP
Stray Kids released a trailer video capturing the worldview of their new mini-album 'THIS & THAT' via their official SNS at midnight on the 8th. The video is based on the concept that the moment one encounters Stray Kids, they enter a space of freedom and comfort.
The trailer follows the perspective of a person who boards a mysterious truck while holding an LP handed to them by Kim Seung Min. As music flows from the headphones, the world in front of them undergoes a surreal transformation. Notably, the video draws attention as all the characters—including the barista, chef, photographer, auctioneer, dancer, and bakery staff—feature the faces of Stray Kids members. The dialogue also creates a mysterious atmosphere, with only the words "THIS" and "THAT" being repeated. This visually implements the group's slogan, 'Stray Kids Everywhere All Around The World,' conveying the message that they are with their fans anytime, anywhere.
A Meticulous Connection to the Yoo Byung Jae Appearance Video
This trailer is organically linked to the pre-trailer released on the 6th. The previous video was a parody of entertainer Yoo Byung Jae's YouTube content 'Mootakshil' (Scary Things are Just Not Wanted!), capturing the members exploring an abandoned house from a first-person camcorder perspective. That video included a scene where Yoo Byung Jae's face intersected with Kim Seung Min's, and the truck featuring the 'THIS & THAT' license plate seen at the end of that video leads directly into the space shown in this main trailer, completing the continuity of the worldview.
August 7 Comeback and World Tour Schedule Connecting the Globe
Stray Kids will release their new mini-album 'THIS & THAT' on August 7 at 1 PM. The album consists of a total of 8 tracks and includes the digital single 'RUN IT,' which was pre-released on June 24. The previously released 'RUN IT' proved global interest by hitting number one on the iTunes Top Songs charts in 43 regions worldwide, including the US, UK, Brazil, France, and Australia.
Simultaneously with the comeback, the new 'Stray Kids World Tour' will begin. Starting with a performance at the Seoul KSPO DOME, the group will tour the world, planning to meet local fans in September through participation in the music festival 'Rock in Rio' in Brazil and the new festival 'STRAYCITY.'
