Stray Kids, one of the leading acts in the global K-pop scene, is gearing up to release their second full-length album in Japan titled “Giant” on November 13, according to JYP Entertainment. This highly anticipated release follows their successful Japanese debut and continues their streak of dominance in the country’s music industry.
The eight-member group first entered the Japanese market in March 2020 with their best-of album “SKZ2020.” Since then, they have released three mini-albums, two physical singles, and a full-length album, establishing themselves as one of the top-selling K-pop acts in Japan. Their latest Japanese EP, “Social Path (feat. LiSA) / Super Bowl - Japanese ver.,” released in September 2023, took the country by storm, topping all major Oricon charts—daily, weekly, weekly combined, and monthly rankings. This marked the group’s first million-selling Japanese album, a milestone that further solidified their presence in the Japanese market.
The upcoming album “Giant” is expected to build on Stray Kids’ existing success, with fans eagerly anticipating new tracks that will showcase the group’s unique style and musical evolution. Known for their distinctive blend of powerful rap, experimental sounds, and self-produced tracks, Stray Kids has consistently pushed the boundaries of K-pop, and “Giant” is likely to follow suit.
In addition to their success in Japan, Stray Kids have been making waves internationally. The group recently returned from Los Angeles, where they filmed a special performance for the 50th Anniversary Special of the American Music Awards (AMA). This performance highlights Stray Kids’ growing influence in the global music scene, as they were the second K-pop group to be invited to perform at the AMAs, following BTS.
The group has also resumed their ongoing “dominATE” world tour, with their most recent stop in Singapore. Their next scheduled performance will be in Melbourne, Australia, on October 19, continuing the momentum of their international tour. Stray Kids’ tour has been met with enthusiastic responses from fans around the world, and their high-energy performances have cemented their reputation as one of K-pop’s most dynamic live acts.
As Stray Kids prepares for the release of “Giant,” their international reach continues to expand, making them one of the most influential K-pop groups today. The release of their second Japanese album is expected to not only bolster their already strong presence in Japan but also contribute to their growing global popularity.
With their unique sound, self-produced tracks, and the ability to captivate audiences both in Japan and worldwide, Stray Kids have set themselves apart as a force to be reckoned with in the K-pop industry. Their upcoming album “Giant” will undoubtedly be another milestone in their ever-rising career.
