Stray Kids has been reigning as a 'Global Top Artist', successfully entering the US Billboard main chart 'Billboard 200' at number 1 for 5 consecutive times, starting with the mini album 'ODDINARY' in 2022, followed by 'MAXIDENT', '★★★★★ (5-STAR)', '樂-STAR', and 'ATE'. They are driving their momentum with a new album that they are attempting, captivating fans around the world with their unique concept and music.

‘SKZHOP HIPTAPE’ is named by combining Stray Kids' abbreviation 'SKZ' with hip-hop, and is an album containing 'new genre' songs unique to SKZ, like a newly defined genre. The first work title of SKZHOP HIPTAPE is '合 (HOP)', which contains the dual meaning of the harmony completed by the eight Stray Kids members and 'HOP' from the English name of the hip-hop genre. Meanwhile, Stray Kids is raising fans' expectations by announcing their comeback news by releasing the first teaser video on the official SNS channel on the 15th.

Stray Kids roamed the world stage in 2024 and showed off their explosive presence. They decorated the headlining stages of major overseas music festivals such as 'I-Days' in Milan, Italy, 'British Summer Time Hyde Park' in London, England, and 'Lollapalooza Chicago' in Chicago, USA, and were named winners at leading overseas music awards such as the '2024 People's Choice Awards' and '2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards'. In addition, they shone their status as the second K-pop group to perform at the 'American Music Awards', and are successfully developing a new world tour that started splendidly by recording a sell-out of all 4 shows at the Seoul KSPO DOME. This tour boasts the largest scale of its own, as it will be held at a total of 5 stadium venues, including Singapore National Stadium, Melbourne Marvel Stadium, Sydney Allianz Stadium, Kaohsiung National Stadium, and Bangkok National Stadium.

Recently, they have expanded their activities by participating in singing the theme song 'Come Play' for season 2 of the Netflix animated series 'Arcane', which is based on the game 'League of Legends' (LoL) universe.

In particular, Stray Kids is enjoying widespread worldwide popularity, including ranking first on the 'Billboard 200' with their latest release 'ATE' and title track 'Chk Chk Boom'. 'ATE' surpassed 3 million copies in cumulative sales based on the Circle Chart, achieving triple million, and surpassed 500,000 single and album sales in the United States, earning its seventh gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America. In addition, based on the tally as of September 30, 2024, local time in the United States, it is the K-pop album with the highest sales in the United States in 2024, and ranks 4th worldwide after Taylor Swift's 'The Tortured Poets Department', Travis Scott's 'Days Before Rodeo', and Billie Eilish's 'HIT ME HARD AND SOFT'.

'Chk Chk Boom' ranked 49th on the Billboard 'Hot 100', which is considered a major indicator of securing popularity in the pop market, renewing Skiz's own highest ranking. Stray Kids first entered the chart with the title song '락 (樂)' from '樂-STAR' as the first 4th generation K-pop boy group, and then recorded a total of three chart-ins with the English single 'Lose My Breath (Feat. Charlie Puth)' and 'Chk Chk Boom', adding meaning. In addition, the 'Chk Chk Boom' music video surpassed 100 million views on YouTube, maintaining the title of 'K-pop 4th generation boy group with the most music videos with over 100 million views', along with the number 1 spot on the French Recording Industry Association (SNEP) Top Album Chart, number 1 on the Apple Music Japan Top Album Chart, and number 1 in the digital EP section on China's largest music platform QQ Music.

As if to prove their powerful global popularity, Stray Kids set a remarkable record by becoming the first K-pop artist to surpass 1 million album sales in the United States in 2024. Taking advantage of this momentum, they will present the fresh and well-made work SKZHOP HIPTAPE '合 (HOP)' and finish this year even more splendidly.
