About Stray Kids

Formed by JYP Entertainment in 2017, Stray Kids is an eight-member powerhouse group with a unique edge—they produce most of their own music. The members, led by producing trio 3Racha (Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han), have been creating hits since their debut EP I Am Not in 2018.

Since then, they’ve consistently broken records with releases like their Clé trilogy and first studio album Go Live in 2020, which earned them their first platinum certification. Their 2021 album Noeasy was their first to sell over a million copies, and 2022's Oddinary and Maxident further cemented their international fame.

In 2023, Stray Kids dropped 5-Star, which became a massive success, and the latest ATE continues to dominate charts worldwide. With over 10 million albums sold, and a spot on Time’s Next Generation Leaders list, Stray Kids are proving they’re here to stay.
