Stray Kids' Career Highlight: UK Festival Headlining and Upcoming EP

Stray Kids, the popular South Korean K-pop group, headlined the British Summer Time Hyde Park Festival in London. Debuting in 2018, the group has enjoyed global success with hit songs and albums. They recently walked the MET Gala red carpet and announced their new EP 'ATE', set for release on July 19.

"This is a career highlight," declared Stray Kids as they took center stage at the British Summer Time (BST) Hyde Park Festival on Sunday. The K-pop group, formed by JYP Entertainment in 2018 through a reality show, have since captivated audiences worldwide with their genre-blending sound and chart-topping tracks like "God's Menu", "S-Class", and "Maniac".

After a near five-year absence, the eight-member ensemble — comprising Changbin, Felix, Hyunjin, Lee Know, Han, Seungmin, Bang Chan, and I.N — returned to London to make their UK festival debut, delivering an electrifying one-hour-40-minute performance to thousands of fans. Recognized by Time magazine as Next Generation Leaders and ranked third on IFPI's global recording artists list, Stray Kids saw their third album '5-Star' becoming last year’s second bestseller globally.

Adding to their accolades, all members graced the MET Gala red carpet in custom Tommy Hilfiger suits this May. As the group prepares for their comeback with the new EP 'ATE' on July 19, Bang Chan emphasized their dedication to crafting meaningful music for their devoted fanbase, STAYs. Felix hints at fresh concepts, saying 'ATE' will showcase their versatility and authenticity as musicians. "We're bringing out all we can at this time and that makes us confident," added Changbin.
