This photo enthused fans at home and abroad with a special emotion worthy of exclamations like "Stray Kids were Stray Kids." Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N created a faint atmosphere on the streets where the city lights illuminated the darkness. They stimulated curiosity about the story they would tell with their wonderful eyes and expressions, and mixed and matched various fashion items such as torn denim pants, colorful fur jackets, and dandy cardigans to create a free-spirited and stylish look.
Just like the affectionate response from K-pop fans who say, "Stray Kids are best when they say 'stray'", Stray Kids, who are shining their presence in the dark city nightscape, are expected to live up to their name and further increase their global fan base through a new album featuring the concept they do best.

In particular, the response to the signature teasing content 'UNVEIL: TRACK' series, which introduces some of the included songs prior to the release of the new album, is hot. As content that shows the musical pride of the 'self-producing group', track 6 'DLC' (DLC), track 9 'FNF' (FNF), and track 7 'Let's Die' have been unveiled, and three videos have been released. Immediately after release, all of them ranked in the top 5 worldwide trending music videos on YouTube.
They made their own music and boasted their unique individuality, reaching the top of the US Billboard main chart 'Billboard 200' twice in 2022 alone. This time too, the group's producing team 3RACHA continues its high flight by leading the way to worldwide popularity with the full-length album of 'all self-composed songs' and the title song 'Special'.
