It was just two months ago that Stray Kids told Billboard the band’s 2024 would be
“very different from what we’ve done so far,”
And the four-time Billboard 200 chart-toppers’ latest New York trip already proving that to be the truth.
While Sitting inside a recording studio owned by their U.S. label, Republic Records, the K-pop sensations’ charisma, candidness and slight trepidation shone through in a laid-back, honest chat to recount their Met Gala debut, just-released collaboration with Charlie Puth, and the anticipation surrounding their upcoming projects.
Also while reflecting on their Met Gala experience, the STRAY KIDS members expressed how their initial worries eventually turned into pure excitement for them.
“We didn’t know anything about Met Gala,” Stray Kids leader Bang Chan shares in his affable Australian accent, before adding, “It was a really good experience.” Felix shares that “it was an honor and pleasure for us to show what our team color is like”
with their appearance, thanks to Tommy Hilfiger, marking a significant milestone in attending one of fashion’s most prestigious nights out, as they mingled with celebrities like Chris Hemsworth, Baz Luhrmann and Jennie from BLACKPINK.
While we don’t have full information about new album or new song, Bang Chan hinted at the exciting prospects:
“If there was a new album, it’s definitely very new, very different yet very genuine and authentic.”
The tour — that may or may not have been spoiled by Tommy Hilfiger himself is also important, and when Lee Know mentions how “there are countries we haven’t been to yet,” he seems to hint toward a truly expansive global trek.
As Stray Kids continue to break barriers and captivate audiences worldwide, the Kids themselves remain grounded and committed to continually improving and leveling up artistry. Like “Lose My Breath,” their upcoming projects all show promise in showcasing an evolving and maturing sound to affirm their status as boundary-breakers in the global music scene.
