Stray Kids are making a comeback with a bold and distinctive concept.

The group will release their 4th full album KARMA on August 22 at 1 PM KST via global music platforms. Their first teaser image portrayed the members as star players in a global "music league," exuding confidence from the audience stands.

From Stands to Spotlight

On August 8, the second teaser took things inside the stadium, showing the members commanding attention as the main stars cheered by a packed crowd. Striking poses against a sports arena backdrop, they embraced the energy of a world-class competition.

Taekwondo Meets K-pop

This time, Stray Kids incorporated Korea's national sport into their style — reinterpreting taekwondo uniforms in black and white, paired with bold hairstyles and makeup. The look ties into their KARMA Sports universe, inspired by global events like the Olympics and World Cup, reimagined in true Stray Kids fashion.

Album Details

KARMA marks the group's first full-length release in over two years, with the title track CEREMONY. The comeback comes about eight months after they set the historic record of six consecutive No.1s on the Billboard 200. Having recently wrapped up their largest-ever world tour, the group is ready to showcase their elevated status.

The album includes 11 tracks, all produced in-house by Stray Kids' own 3RACHA unit — Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han.
