Stray Kids

Stray Kids (in Hangul, 스트레이 키즈; revised Romanisation, Seuteurei Kijeu, abbreviated as SKZ) is a South Korean boy group formed in 2017 by JYP Entertainment through the reality show of the same name. The group debuted in 2018 and currently consists of eight members: Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N. Originally a nine-member group, Woojin left the group and the agency in October 2019 for personal reasons.

Stray Kids released their pre-debut extended play Mixtape on 8 January 2018 and made their official debut on 25 March of the same year with I Am Not, followed by the other two EPs of the I Am series, I Am Who and I Am You. In 2019 they released the Clé trilogy, made up of three EPs: Clé 1: Miroh, Clé 2: Yellow Wood and Clé: Levanter. The group's first studio album, Go Live, was released in 2020 and became the first album by the group to receive platinum certification from the Korea Music Content Association (KMCA). That same year, Stray Kids made their Japanese debut with the compilation album SKZ2020, released through Epic Records Japan.

In 2021, Stray Kids' second studio album, Noeasy, became their first album to reach one million in sales. After signing with Republic Records for promotions in the United States in 2022, the group released the EPs Oddinary and Maxident in 2022 and Rock-Star in 2023, as well as their third studio album, 5-Star (2023), all of which topped the Billboard 200 and entered the UK Albums Chart. 5-Star was certified five times million in album sales by the KMCA, making it the third group in South Korean history to achieve this. By October 2022, Stray Kids had sold more than 10 million albums, in both Korean and Japanese.

In September 2022 they were named "K-pop Leaders" by the renowned magazine Billboard. In 2023, they were included in Time's "Next Generation Leaders" list.
