Stray Kids will celebrate the 5th anniversary of the official fan club STAY on August 1st. In order to decorate the special anniversary more meaningfully, we prepared a week exclusively for STAY for 7 days from July 26th to August 1st, and express our gratitude towards STAY, who always sends great love and support.
Among the timetables released on the official SNS channel at 0:00 on the 26th, "SKZ-RECORD" announced on August 1st especially catches the eye. Announcing a new song as part of 'SKZ-RECORD', YouTube's own content that shines through the group's strength of self-production. Expectations are high for the summer song that Stray Kids will present by realizing the season song promised in the video 'STEP OUT 2023' (Step Out 2023), which was introduced with the New Year's plan at the beginning of the year. In 'SKZ-PLAYER', which will be released together, the new song live will be released for the first time.
Starting with the release of the timetable full of fun things to do, they prepared a photoism event where you can engrave memories with the 8 members at any photoism store in Korea until August 20th. On the 27th, they will reveal a gif photo and the behind-the-scenes recording of b-side songs on their 3rd regular album '★★★★★ (5-STAR)' (Five Star), which won first place on the US Billboard 200 for three consecutive times. On the 28th, '2023 ^ㅅ^ Swoosh' (Skiz introduced by 2023 Skiz) and photoism behind-the-scenes video will visit fans.
From the 29th, around the turning point of '2023 STAYweeK', the third official fan meeting 'Stray Kids 3RD FANMEETING 'PILOT: FOR ★★★★★'' ('Pilot: Four Five Star') to present related content and recall precious memories. The behind-the-scenes videos on the 29th and 30th, the list-streaming of the fan meeting on the 30th, and the behind-the-scenes photos on the 31st will be released sequentially, conveying the vivid atmosphere of the scene. In addition, they prepare a TikTok challenge video, their own content 'SKZ LOG' where they can meet SKZ off stage, and a YouTube live to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the fandom's formation to build a strong bond with their fans.
Stray Kids took the stage as the first K-pop artist headliner at the global music festival 2023 'Lollapalooza Paris' held at Hippodrome ParisLongchamp, France recently and stood in front of an audience of 60,000.
