Stray Kids showcased a powerful visual ‘combination.’ On the afternoon of the 21st, JYP Entertainment released additional concept photos for Stray Kids’ new album, “SKZ-HOP Mixtape: HOP (合(HOP)).” The photos captured a confident attitude. The members posed photogenically in front of backgrounds in red, blue, and black colors.
The floor, represented in calligraphy as ‘HOP,’ along with suits featuring traditional patterns, also caught the eye. SKZ-HOP Mixtape is named by combining the abbreviation ‘SKZ’ with hip-hop. It contains a unique genre that is not officially defined, presenting Stray Kids’ distinctive songs.
The new album ‘HOP’ signifies the combination completed when the eight members of Stray Kids come together. It also incorporates an ambiguous meaning by combining the English term for the hip-hop genre with ‘HOP.’ All members participated in the song production.
The album includes a total of 11 tracks, such as the title track “Walkin On Water,” “Bounce Back,” “U” (featuring Tablo), and “Walkin On Water” (hip version). It also features solo stages like “Railway” (Bang Chan), “Unfair” (Felix), “Hallucination” (I.N), “Youth” (Lee Know), “So Good” (Hyunjin), “Ultra” (Changbin), “Hold My Hand” (Han), and “Slowly, Gently, Us” (Seungmin).
Stray Kids will release this new-format album, “SKZ-HOP Mixtape: HOP,” on the 13th of next month at 2 PM.
