Stray Kids will release their new full-length album 'KARMA' on August 22.
Starting with the mini-album 'ODDINARY' in 2022, Stray Kids wrote a first in the 69-year history of the charts by sending six consecutive works—'MAXIDENT', '★★★★★ (5-STAR)', '樂-STAR', 'ATE', and '合 (HOP)'—straight to number one on the US Billboard 'Billboard 200'.
Recently, through their largest-ever world tour, 'Stray Kids World Tour [dominate]', they are conducting a total of 54 performances across 34 regions worldwide, 38 of which are stadium shows, cementing their status as 'Global Stadium Artists'. Starting from the KSPO DOME in Seoul in August 2024, they traveled through Asia, Oceania, Latin America, and North America, and are currently conducting their first-ever European tour to great acclaim. Following their performance at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in Madrid, Spain—a first for a K-pop artist—they will hold two solo concerts at the Stade de France in Paris, France, on the 26th and 27th (local time).
Stray Kids are enjoying immense popularity, achieving various outstanding results in the global music market. They won the 'K-Pop Album of the Year' category at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards, marking their second consecutive year winning at the awards, and were named the 'Favorite Music Group' at the 2025 Kids' Choice Awards. Additionally, they have been announcing consecutive wins at various popular music awards, including 'Favorite Soundtrack' at the 2025 American Music Awards and two awards—'Music Video of the Year' and 'Best 3 Albums'—at the 39th Japanese Golden Disc Awards.
Beyond this, there are various indicators confirming Stray Kids' overwhelming global presence. After becoming the third K-pop artist to reach 20 million subscribers on their official YouTube channel, their official TikTok channel followers also surpassed 30 million, the third highest for a K-pop group. Furthermore, with the music videos for 'MEGAVERSE' and 'CHEESE' sequentially surpassing 100 million views on YouTube, they now possess a total of 17 music videos with over 100 million views. This is the highest among 4th generation K-pop boy groups.
As such, Stray Kids, who are pouring out countless great records that will leave a mark on the global music market, are drawing the attention of K-pop fans worldwide with news of a comeback that will further solidify their position as 'Global Top Artists'. Their first full-length album in about two years since the 3rd full-length album '★★★★★ (5-STAR)' in June 2023 is finally opening.
The trailer, released alongside the comeback news at midnight on the 25th, instantly transports viewers to the space-time of the near future, the year 2081. As '2081 KARMA SPORTS', where champions who have received coins can participate, opens, everyone burns with a passionate will and desire for victory. A world-view that reconstructs a global festival like the Olympics or the World Cup in Stray Kids' own style, combined with a story intricately connected through the item 'KARMA Coin', provides a powerful sense of immersion and increases curiosity and anticipation for the new album.
Stray Kids' new full-length album 'KARMA', which will evoke a thrilling rush of adrenaline in our sometimes boring and tedious daily lives, will knock on your heart this August.
