In Yeouido, Seoul, on the morning of the 19th, Stray Kids gathered at the Grand Ballroom of Conrad Seoul for a press conference to commemorate the launch of their latest mini-album, ‘ATE’.

On the 18th, JYP Entertainment announced that all members of Stray Kids had renewed their contracts. Bang Chan expressed his gratitude, stating, “I wanted to share this wonderful news with our fans as soon as possible. We are grateful to our fans and the company staff for their unwavering support, which has allowed us to envision a future together.”

Bang Chan stated, “We chose to extend our contracts because we believe there is still room for us to improve and achieve even more. What’s most significant is that all the members were united in their decision. As the leader of the team, I was deeply grateful and moved by their unity.”

He stated, “I believe that Stray Kids has been carefully constructing our narrative even before our debut. There are still numerous elements that we wish to reveal to you in the future. We view this opportunity as a fresh start and aim to unveil more of our true selves.”

The song titled ‘Chk Chk Boom’ showcases a Latin-inspired hip-hop beat and a strong performance, marking a new musical direction for Stray Kids. The teaser for the music video, which previously featured popular celebrity Ryan Reynolds, also attracted considerable attention.

This album is released approximately eight months after their previous album ‘樂-STAR’ (Rockstar), which earned them their fourth number one on the US Billboard ‘Billboard 200′. The members have greatly improved the musical quality through self-production.
