Stray Kids dominates the fashion and film industries following the music industry

The group Stray Kids was honored with an award at Asia's largest international short film festival.

On the 4th, the opening ceremony of Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia 2024, Asia's largest international short film festival certified by the American Academy Award, was held in Shibuya, Japan. Stray Kids' content at this film festival, where about 270 films were selected based on this year's theme 'Illuminate Your Life~' among more than 4,936 works submitted from 114 regions around the world, can be enjoyed online and offline. 'SKZFLIX' won the 'Short Short Film Festival & Asia 2024 Global Spotlight Award' (SSFF & ASIA 2024 Global Spotlight Award).

Stray Kids said in the video, "We worked hard while filming 'SKZFLIX' and shared happy memories with the members, and it is very meaningful to even win an award. I hope we can share the story of 'SKZFLIX' with more people." . 'SKZFLIX' director Kim Byeong-jun said, "We completed the content starting from the imagination of 'students working together to make a short film and win an award,' and now we are experiencing a movie-like moment where that imagination becomes reality. Stray Kids and K-Pop “Thank you for your interest, I was able to see more light.”

'SKZFLIX' is a Stray Kids music drama that uses the song 'Leave' from the mini album '樂-STAR' as background music. In the play, the eight members go through various trials and errors as members of a film club to make a movie, and the brilliant moments of youth in the process are dramatically expressed. Stray Kids' ability to express emotions, as well as trendy directing and visual beauty, increased immersion.

Recently, Stray Kids has been showing off its presence in various fields. The collaboration digital single 'Lose My Breath (Feat. Charlie Puth)' with world-renowned musician Charlie Puth, released on May 10th, was released in the United States on May 25th (local time). It ranked 90th on Billboard's 'Hot 100', becoming the second song to chart on that chart following 'Rock'.

In addition, for the first time in the world, all members of a K-pop group attended the world's largest fashion charity fund-raising event, 'Met Gala', including GQ, British GQ, Rolling Stone, and Billboard. She was selected as the best dresser of 'Met Gala 2024' by major media.

This summer, they will perform as headlining stages at three large music festivals: 'I-Days' in Milan, Italy, 'BST Hyde Park' in London, England, and 'Lollapalooza Chicago' in Chicago, USA. Continuing solid progress.
