Stray Kids (often abbreviated to SKZ; {{Korean/auto|hangul=^스트레이 ^키즈|rr=yes}}) is a South Korean boy band formed by JYP Entertainment. The band consists of eight members: Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N. For undisclosed personal reasons, Woojin left the band in October 2019. Stray Kids primarily self-produce its recordings; the main production team is named 3Racha and consists of Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han, and the other members frequently participate in songwriting.

Bang Chan handpicked each member to be a part of the band before the filming of the eponymous 2017 reality television show, which is uncommon in K-Pop where that power typically lies with executives and creative directors.{{Cite magazine |last=Glasby |first=Taylor |date=June 5, 2019 |title=Stray Kids are shaking up K-pop's status quo |url=https://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/44726/1/stray-kids-k-pop-group-interview#:~:text=This%20concept%20%E2%80%93%20of%20attaining%20freedom,own%20shifting%20sense%20of%20identity |access-date=May 22, 2025 |magazine=Dazed }}

The band released their unofficial debut extended play (EP) Mixtape in January 2018 and officially debuted on March 25 with the EP I Am Not, which was followed by the EPs I Am Who and I Am You, completing the I Am EP series. The Clé trilogy, consisting of Clé 1: Miroh, Clé 2: Yellow Wood, and Clé: Levanter, was released in 2019.

The band's first studio album Go Live (2020) become its first platinum-certified album by Korea Music Content Association (KMCA). That year, Stray Kids made their Japanese debut with the compilation album SKZ2020, which was released through Epic Records Japan. Their debut Japanese single "Top" debuted atop the Oricon Singles Chart, the fourth foreign male artists to do so with the first single.

In 2021, Stray Kids' second studio album Noeasy became its first million-selling album. After signing with Republic Records for promotions in the United States in 2022, the band released their EPs Oddinary, Maxident (both 2022), Rock-Star (2023), and Ate (2024); their third studio album 5-Star (2023); and their first mixtape Hop (2024). These six releases peaked at number one on the US Billboard 200 and entered the UK Albums Chart, making them the first act to debut at the top of Billboard 200 with their first-sixth-charted albums. The KMCA certified 5-Star five-million in album sales, making Stray Kids the third group to achieve this in Korea. In 2023, the band appeared on Time{{'s}} list of Next Generation Leaders. As of December 2024, Stray Kids has sold over 31 million albums, both Korean and Japanese releases.

Name

Members conceptualized the name "Stray Kids" themselves, along with creating their own logo. The name originally referred to a lost child who wants to chase their dreams and evolved to represent the idea of finding a way out of the ordinary together.{{cite news |last=Choi |first=Ji-won |script-title=ko:'최파타' 스트레이키즈 "팀명 '트리거' 될 뻔" |trans-title='Choipata' Stray Kids "The team name almost becomes 'Trigger'"|url=https://www.mk.co.kr/star/hot-issues/view/2018/08/497249/ |access-date=December 17, 2021 |work=Star Today |date=August 8, 2019 |language=ko |archive-date=December 17, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211217134237/https://www.mk.co.kr/star/hot-issues/view/2018/08/497249/ |url-status=live |ref=none}}{{cite news|last=Park|first=Se-yeon|script-title=ko:데뷔 7주년...자이언트, 도미네이트, 스트레이 키즈|trans-title=7th year Debut Anniversary...Giant, Dominate, Stray Kids|url=https://isplus.com/article/view/isp202503180165|date=March 19, 2025|work=Ilgan Sports|access-date=April 11, 2025|language=ko}}

After the completion of I Am ... and Clé series, Stray Kids found their own identity and the band's lyrical themes shifted. They introduced "God's Menu" as their unique sound; the song uses culinary metaphors like "Welcome, it's easy to choose what you want in our kitchen. Anything on the menu will satisfy all your five senses", "This is our tang, tang, tang, tang" ({{korean |탕 |rr=tang |lit=soup |links=no}}), and "You ask "What's our secret ingredient?". But we don't even use one". Stray Kids received some criticism because their sound was considered too "noisy" by some, yet they "embrace[ed their] noisiness" in the lyrics of "Thunderous". In "Maniac", the band encouraged their audience to embrace their own "quirkness".{{Cite magazine |last=Bell |first=Chrystal |title=Stray Kids "Oddinary" Review: An Exciting, Eclectic Crossroads |url=https://www.teenvogue.com/story/oddinary-stray-kids-album-review |date=March 21, 2022 |magazine=Teen Vogue |access-date=May 22, 2024 |archive-date=April 12, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220412055507/https://www.teenvogue.com/story/oddinary-stray-kids-album-review |url-status=live |ref=none}} "S-Class" is the continuation of the previous album Oddinary, in which they shout: "The odd one, that's me!". In "S-Class" they invite listeners to do the same in the lyrics: "Be the one to shine instead of chasing after what's shiny". "Lalalala" celebrates the band members' lives and career, pushing through pain to find joy and release through music.{{cite magazine |last1=Benjamin |first1=Jeff |last2=Bowenbank |first2=Starr |last3=Lynch |first3=Joe |last4=Oak |first4=Jessica |last5=Unterberger |first5=Andrew |date=December 28, 2023 |title=The 25 Best K-Pop Songs of 2023 |url=https://www.billboard.com/lists/best-k-pop-songs-2023/ |access-date=December 29, 2023 |magazine=Billboard |archive-date=December 29, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231229004822/https://www.billboard.com/lists/best-k-pop-songs-2023/ |url-status=live |ref=none}}

The band's B-sides often talk about self-reflection. On their debut album, the songs "Mirror" and "3rd Eye" discuss the difficulties of finding one's true self; in the song "Awaken", they stress the importance of fighting one's way out of a shell. Some Stray Kids songs challenge new themes that are different from their other releases, like "Case 143" from Maxident, which is their first release that is explicitly about romantic love.{{cite news |last=Jeong |first=Eujene |script-title=ko:스트레이 키즈, 신보 'MAXIDENT' 개인 티저...'촉촉·카리스마' [N컷] |trans-title=Stray Kids, New Album 'MAXIDENT' Individual Teaser...

Stray Kids are known for using wordplay in lyrics and song titles. The title of the album Go Live combines the English word go with the Korean word hanja (life) ({{korean|GO生 |rr=go-saeng|links=no}}) but the pronunciation gosaeng ({{korean |고생 |links=no}}) can also mean "hardship" in Korean. The album's song "God's Menu" also contains wordplay from the hanja word "god" and the hangul word "menu" ({{korean |神메뉴|rr=sinmenyu|lit=God's Menu|links=no}}) but the pronunciation "sin-menu" ({{korean |신메뉴 |labels=no}}) can also mean "new menu" in Korean. In Noeasy, the album's title combines "no" and "easy" to mean "not easy", but its pronunciation sounds like "noisy". Its track "Thunderous" has a different Korean title "소리꾼" ({{korean|소리꾼|rr=sorikkun|lit=singers of pansori |links=no}}) which combines the word "소리" ({{korean |소리 |rr=sori |lit=sound |links=no}}) and "꾼" ({{korean |꾼 |rr=kkun |lit=suffix for a "doer"|links=no}}), which can also mean a person who "does sound very well". The Korean title of the song "Lalalala" ({{korean |hangul=락|hanja=樂|rr=rak|lit=pleasure|links=no}}) is also a wordplay with "rock", expressing the meaning of "although you will feel any emotions in life, you hope the last emotion you choose will be pleasure".{{cite news |last=Ji |first=Min-kyung |script-title=ko:'컴백 D-1' 스트레이 키즈 "마지막에 남는 건 樂..'헉!' 하고 놀랄 퍼포먼스" |trans-title='Comeback D-1' Stray Kids "What Remains at the End Is Music..
