K-pop 4th generation top-tier performers Stray Kids (Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, I.N) are returning with a new mini album. On the 7th at 1 PM, they will release their mini album 'THIS & THAT' along with its title track of the same name, marking their first comeback of 2026.

The new release 'THIS & THAT' captures, as the album title suggests, the versatile side of Stray Kids who can do this and that, along with their well-founded confidence. Set to once again prove their broad musical spectrum through the new album, the group has brought together tracks of various temperatures — from refreshing songs perfect for summer to tracks bursting with blazing energy — promising listeners the joy of choice.

The title track 'This & That,' consisting of a total of eight tracks, is the song Stray Kids spent the longest time crafting, a hip-hop-based track that maximizes the group's chill and cool mood. The members said, "With a different feel from our previous title tracks, we completed the 'Stray Kids' identity through a mainstream yet fresh sound, catchy lyrics, wit, and performance."

Ahead of the new album's release, Stray Kids opened their new world tour 'Stray Kids World Tour' at Seoul KSPO DOME on July 25–26 and 29, and August 1–2. Having heated up comeback anticipation with a total of five completely sold-out shows, they plan to further showcase the boundless potential of a 'global top artist' through their new album 'THIS & THAT' and the title track 'This & That.'

Meanwhile, last year Stray Kids set a record as the first artist in the world to enter the U.S. Billboard main chart 'Billboard 200' at No. 1 for eight consecutive times.
