Stray Kids have revealed a powerful aura.

On the 24th, JYP Entertainment unveiled the individual and group teaser photos for Stray Kids' album "SKZ_HOP" on the group's official social media channels.

They posed against a backdrop infused with the unique charm of Korea. Their unique styling featuring fur jackets, hair bands, piercings, and eye makeup stood out.

They captivated SKZs (the fandom name) both domestically and internationally. The inclusion of decorated bows and arrows with cubic stones, chains, and bandanas completed a trendy yet traditional atmosphere.

"SKZ_HOP" is a word that combines the group's abbreviation (SKZ) with hip-hop. It is an album project that presents a new genre unique to Stray Kids.

The first work among these is "HOP." It holds a dual meaning of "HOP," merging the English name for the hip-hop genre, and the "unity" crafted by the gathering of all 8 members.

It consists of a total of 12 songs, including the title track "Walkin On Water," "Bounce Back," "U" featuring Tablo, and the hip version of "Walkin On Water."

Solo tracks showcased during the world tour "DOMINATE" will be included as bonus tracks. The producing team 3RACHA, led by members, and all other members have their names in the credits.

Meanwhile, Stray Kids will officially release "HOP" at 2 PM next month on the 13th (0 AM U.S. Eastern Time).
