The group Stray Kids swept domestic and international charts in succession with their new mini album 'THIS & THAT,' proving the spectacular syndrome of their first comeback in 2026.

Released on the 7th, the album topped the Hanteo Chart and Circle Chart real-time album charts, followed by reaching No. 1 on iTunes album charts in 32 regions worldwide. The title track 'This & That' also took the top spot on major Korean music streaming sites as well as No. 1 on iTunes song charts in multiple countries, showcasing their global popularity.

The music video response has also been explosive. On the day of its release, it ranked No. 1 on YouTube Trending in 25 overseas regions including the United States and Australia, demonstrating their overwhelming presence.

The title track 'This & That,' produced by the group's in-house producing team 3RACHA, is a hip-hop-based song with a chill and cool mood. It is characterized by a blend of Korean sensibility and highly addictive melodies that captivate listeners.

Stray Kids will begin their music show promotions starting with KBS 2TV's 'Music Bank' on the 7th. They will then appear consecutively on 'Show! Music Core' on the 8th and 'SBS Gayo Daejeon: SUMMER' on the 9th to present their comeback stages.

Meanwhile, Stray Kids will fully ramp up their global activities based on the momentum of this comeback. In July and August, they will kick off their new world tour 'RUN IT' at KSPO DOME in Seoul, and at the end of August, they will become the first foreign male artist to perform solo at the Japan National Stadium in Tokyo. In September, they will visit Latin America through Brazil's 'Rock in Rio' festival and their own festival 'STRAYCITY.'
