Leading boy band to mark 2025 with 2 albums, tour concerts
After a remarkable year, Stray Kids have announced an ambitious plan for 2025, promising diverse music releases, global performances and meaningful connections with fans.
In a video titled "Stray Kids Step Out 2025" released on the boy band's official channels, JYP Entertainment outlined an exciting road map for the year ahead.
Stray Kids plan to release two albums this year. Following the release of Korean, English and Japanese digital singles, ninth mini-album "Ate," Japanese full-length album "Giant" and the special album "Hop" in 2024, fans are eagerly anticipating the group's next endeavors.
The eight-member group will also continue its world tour, which has covered 11 cities so far after kicking off at Seoul's KSPO Dome in August 2024. This year, the tour will travel to total of 32 cities for 48 shows, starting with large-scale stadium concerts across 20 cities in Latin America, North America and Europe starting March.
Stray Kids have also revealed plans for an encore concert in Korea to mark the finale of their world tour, along with their highly anticipated fifth fan meeting. The group announced a special collaboration with SKZoo, the animal characters representing each of the eight members.
Stray Kids solidified its position as a K-pop powerhouse last year with impressive chart performances and global recognition. Since "Oddinary" in 2022, the group has topped the Billboard 200 with "Maxident," "5-Star," "Rock Star," "Ate" and "Hop." Achieving six No.1 albums on the Billboard 200, Stray Kids tied with BTS.
Notably, Stray Kids made history as the first act in the 69-year history of the Billboard 200 to have all six albums debut at No.1.
