Stray Kids debuted as a nine-member group in 2017 under JYP Entertainment. Since Woojin's departure in 2019 citing personal reasons, Stray Kids has been active as an eight-member group consisting of Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N. The group’s music is primarily produced by their in-house producing unit, 3RACHA, which comprises Bangchan, Changbin, and Han.

The band's two recent Korean EP releases, “Oddinary” and “Maxident,” both achieved international success, with both albums debuting at No. 1 on Billboard’s main chart, the Billboard 200, upon release. “Maxident” also set a new record as the first album released by JYP Entertainment to surpass 3 million album sales.

Stray Kids has recently completed its second world tour, “Maniac,” with performances in various countries such as Japan, the United States, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Australia, and the Philippines.

With their upcoming release, fans are eagerly anticipating what the talented group has in store for them and what new heights they will reach with their third full-length album “5-STAR”.
