SKZ will hold a concert at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 21st and 22nd... New song ‘Rock’ released on the 10th of next month
Stray Kids (Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, I.N) will release their new mini album '樂-STAR' and the title song 'Rock (樂)' on November 10th. At midnight on the 20th, JYP Entertainment heated up the excitement by releasing teaser content that allows you to see the atmosphere and part of the sound source of the new album's first track, 'MEGAVERSE', through Stray Kids' official SNS channel.
This teaser, which started with a scene of a glass wall breaking, was filled with impact from beginning to end and satisfied all five senses. It unfolded dynamically like an action movie, making the audience sweat, and the intense sound combined with the surreal story of the eight members who control time and space increased the attraction. Actor Yoon Seung-hoon, who appeared in the Netflix series 'Squid Game', joined in and gave a passionate performance, adding to the enjoyment of the show. Here, the swirling English rapping and lyrics such as "The cut that rotates every 0.1 seconds, my mouth is watering as if I saw something in vain" and "Hey, act as you think, listen with our feel, follow, we make it into reality" are Skiz's 'mega-level verses'. ' made me look forward to it.
Stray Kids plans to sequentially open signature teasing content 'UNVEIL: TRACK', starting with 'MEGAVERSE'. 'UNVEIL: TRACK' is a video content that introduces some of the songs included in the album prior to its official release. The confident confidence of the 'self-producing group', which has been making music on its own since its debut and publicizing Stray Kids' individuality and charm, is evident.
