Facts

concept & music

3RACHA's rap and hip-hop production, the vocal line's lyrical singing, and the dance line's dynamic performances blend together to create a harmonious synergy among the eight members.

The 'K' in the Stray Kids logo changes color with each comeback to match the album's theme. Leader Bang Chan personally designed the logo.

3RACHA, the group's production team, is fully self-produced, writing and composing all the songs on their albums. There are only a few songs where 3RACHA did not participate in the composition.

As of May 2023, Park Jin-young contributed to the lyrics and composition of three Stray Kids songs. Notably, he helped with the writing and production of their Japanese debut track, 'ALL IN.'

Other members also heavily participate in writing and composing songs, with various albums showcasing tracks written and composed by all members.

The group's formation was experimental, as Bang Chan was tasked with assembling the team himself, practicing with them, and preparing them for debut under JYP's review.

Stray Kids' music style spans a wide range, from rebellious themes like 'MIROH' and 'Victory Song,' to playful tracks like 'Get Cool.' They also create emotional and intense songs like 'Hellevator' and 'God's Menu.'

The group's musical spectrum incorporates various genres like hip-hop, EDM, acoustic, pop, and alternative rock, with songs often blending multiple genres, such as 'Sokkun,' which mixes trap and Korean traditional music.

With the release of 'MIROH,' the group adopted the term 'malamat' and strengthened their identity with 'God's Menu,' which uses a cooking metaphor for music creation.

etc

It is a multinational boy group consisting of 6 Korean members and 2 Korean-Australian members .

Stray Kids was formed through a survival show of the same name, where the final lineup was decided.

Their debut album, 'I Am NOT,' was released in March 2018, featuring the title track 'District 9.'

Stray Kids is known for their powerful performances and high-energy choreography.

Stray Kids’ first world tour, ‘District 9: Unlock,’ started in 2019 and visited multiple countries.

The members are deeply involved in writing their own lyrics, with personal experiences often reflected in their songs.

Stray Kids gained international recognition with their album 'GO LIVE,' which included the hit track 'God’s Menu.'

Felix, one of the members, is known for his deep voice, which contrasts with his youthful appearance.

Since they are self-produced idols, you can often see members recording and giving feedback to each other in the recording studio during intros and behind-the-scenes scenes.
