Who are Stray Kids?

Stray Kids (스트레이 키즈) are an eight-member boy group under JYP Entertainment: Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N, in the order of the group’s official profile, which dates the group’s founding to 25 March 2018. Bang Chan, Changbin and Han form 3RACHA, the in-house unit that wrote and produced every track on the tenth mini album THIS & THAT, released on 7 August 2026. According to Billboard, all nine of the group’s Billboard 200 entries have debuted at number one, from ODDINARY in 2022 to THIS & THAT on the chart dated 22 August 2026 — a total that ties the Rolling Stones for the second-most number one albums by a group, behind the Beatles’ 19.

Where to start

The official “This & That” music video is published on JYP Entertainment’s YouTube channel, and Stray Kids’ own YouTube channel is linked from the group’s official site. The official site at straykids.jype.com carries the discography with track credits and streaming links for each release. K-Culture Radar links to official uploads rather than rehosting them, so those channels are the place to watch.
