Stray Kids exudes a powerful aura in their latest teaser.
JYP Entertainment revealed individual and group teaser photos for Stray Kids' new album, SKZHIPTAPE 'HOP' (合), on the group's official SNS channels on November 24.
The photos feature the members posing against a backdrop imbued with traditional Korean aesthetics. Their unique styling, including fur jackets, headbands, piercings, and bold eye makeup, stood out prominently.
The combination of modern and traditional elements captivated fans worldwide. Props such as bows and arrows adorned with cubic stones, chains, and bandanas added a trendy yet culturally rich vibe to the visuals.
The SKZHIPTAPE project combines the group's name abbreviation (SKZ) with hip-hop to introduce a new musical genre unique to Stray Kids.
The first release in this series is 'HOP' (合). The title represents the unity of all eight members and incorporates "HOP" from the word hip-hop, reflecting a dual meaning.
The album features 12 tracks, including the title song Walkin On Water, Bounce Back, U featuring Tablo, and a hip version of Walkin On Water.
Bonus tracks include solo performances from their DOMINATE world tour. Led by their producing team 3RACHA, all members contributed to the album credits.
Stray Kids will officially release 'HOP' on December 13 at 2 PM KST (midnight EST).
