Stray Kids will release their new mini album '樂-STAR' and title track '락 (樂)' on November 10th.

Stray Kids topped the US 'Billboard 200' with three consecutive works, 'ODDINARY' and 'MAXIDENT' in 2022, and the full album '★★★★★ (5-STAR)' in June 2023, solidifying their position as 'K-pop's leading 4th generation group'. The '5-STAR Dome Tour 2023' in Japan, which recorded the first entry into Japan's 4 major dome venues for a K-pop 4th generation boy group, including Fukuoka PayPay Dome, Vantelin Dome Nagoya, Kyocera Dome Osaka, and Tokyo Dome, achieved a super-fast sell-out, proving its immense popularity with approximately 2.5 million pre-applications. In addition, they entered KSPO DOME in September of last year with 'Stray Kids 2nd World Tour "MANIAC" Seoul Special (UNVEIL 11)', and this year, they sold out the solo concert 'Stray Kids '5-STAR Dome Tour 2023 Seoul Special (UNVEIL 13)' held at Gocheok Dome, which is considered the largest indoor concert venue in Korea, showing remarkable growth. 

In July 2023, they became the first K-pop artist to headline 'Lollapalooza Paris', thrilling approximately 60,000 spectators and illuminating the night sky of Paris, France. In September, they made their first appearance at the '2023 MTV Video Music Awards' held at the Prudential Center in New Jersey, USA, and had the honor of winning the 'Best K-Pop' category with the title track '특' from their latest work '★★★★★ (5-STAR)'. 3RACHA, the group's producing team consisting of Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han, performed at the '2023 Global Citizen Festival' held in New York's Central Park, captivating the local audience. Stray Kids, the 'K-pop trend' flying around the global stage, is releasing a new mini album and raising the altitude towards a higher peak.

'樂-STAR' is a new album released about 5 months after the release of the 3rd full album, and has organic connections with the previous work '★★★★★ (5-STAR)'. It expresses the ambition to become rock stars who will dominate an era, along with the meaning of special people who know how to enjoy. In particular, the album's confident message that "Our rock (樂) continues in any situation" conveys the group's confidence in creating music that can be enjoyed with all listeners in the world. 

Stray Kids' musical pride, which invited global K-pop listeners to a festival for those who know how to enjoy, can be encountered once again in the tracklist of '樂-STAR'. Starting with the title track '락 (樂)', a total of 8 songs are included, including 'MEGAVERSE', '사각지대', 'COMFLEX', '가려줘', 'Leave', the Korean version of the title track 'Social Path (Feat. LiSA)' from the first Japanese EP album, and '락 (樂) (Rock Ver.)'. They, who have achieved the record of 3 consecutive #1 on the 'Billboard 200' with self-made music, are foreshadowing the birth of another well-made work by engraving their names on the credits of the new mini album and presenting musical 'enjoyment'.

3RACHA, who has created the title tracks of all albums released since their debut, from the official debut song 'District 9' in March 2018 to the comeback title track '락 (樂)', strengthens the unique genre of 'Stray Kids' with this album. In addition, Kevin Gomringer and Tim Gomringer of the German hip-hop producer duo Cubeatz, who have participated in numerous albums by famous overseas hip-hop artists such as Travis Scott and Drake, as well as members Hyunjin, VERSACHOI, Millionboy, JUN2, and other leading domestic and foreign writers collaborated to improve the perfection.

The title track '락 (樂)' is a song that excites the listener through a unique melody. The lyrics, which stand out with wordplay using '락' such as "Welcome to 극락 (락) 날벼락 (락) 도시의 락 (락) 즐기면 그만 (락) 없지 고난 (락) 역경의 밤 (락) 지새우면 끝 고생 끝에 낙 (락)", deliver fresh stimulation. In addition, the repeated sound in the chorus adds rock elements, allowing you to fully enjoy the powerful addictiveness and intensity of Stray Kids' music.

They released a prologue video in early October 2023 and opened the prelude to their comeback in earnest. Starting with a solid storyline that unravels the 'emotions' contained in the new album through the dreams and perspectives of a child before a performance, stimulating fans' curiosity, they properly raised the 'enjoyment' of seeing with a solemn atmosphere of narration, splendid visual effects, and a feast of the members' upgraded visuals.

Through the new mini album '樂-STAR' and title track '락 (樂)', which imprinted a special seal, Stray Kids will once again deliver a fresh sense to the global music market in 2023 and lead the trend.
