Stray Kids is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the most prominent groups currently active on the K-pop scene.
The eight members of the group—Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N.—are collecting successes left and right, from their latest album, 5-Star, being five-million sales certified by the KMCA to being included in Time’s Next Generation Leaders list in 2023.
The group has a pretty packed schedule to look forward to this summer. They’ll be taking the stage at several music festivals, from I-Days in Milan to BST Hyde Park in London in July to Lollapalooza in Chicago in August.
And of course, with all these performances—which are guaranteed to be larger-than-life—lined up, there’s only one thing STAYs are wondering—whether or not there might be a comeback lurking just below the surface, waiting to be announced and promoted throughout the summer.
Are Stray Kids making a comeback in the summer of 2024?
As fans have been suspecting, Stray Kids is indeed coming back this summer with new music. There had been a good number of signs pointing to the group gearing up for a comeback—from their scheduled appearances at various music festivals to more-or-less reputable industry sources—and now it’s officially confirmed for the joy of STAYs everywhere.
ATE is going to be the ninth mini-album of Stray Kids’ career, and judging from the trailers and teasers—featuring two members of the group each—that have been released so far it promises to be a fun and energetic comeback that’s just perfect for summer. According to what has been released so far, it seems like there will be at least two new songs—the titular “ATE” and “Chk Chk Boom”.
The comeback is set to be released on July 19, more precisely at 1 PM KST.
