The announcement of its latest mini-album, “ATE,”left both fans and press in awe as Kpop group Stray Kids delivered a stunning surprise.
The group revealed their latest musical project and surprising collaborations during a press conference at the Conrad Seoul Grand Ballroom in Yeouido, Seoul. They provided insights into their creative process and upcoming venture.
The mini-album “ATE”is Stray Kids’ latest release, following their highly successful album “ROCK-STAR,”which has just achieved its fourth consecutive No.1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart.
The title track, “Chk Chk Boom,”is sure to captivate audiences with its powerful lyrics, Latin-inspired hip-hop beats, infectious loops, and a unique top line that highlights the group’s versatility and creativity in their sound.
The music video of the latest release has been a hot topic of discussion, as it stars two renowned Hollywood actors, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.
This unlikely collaboration was a result of Stray Kids’ remarkable performance, inspired by Deadpool, on Mnet’s “Kingdom: Legendary War”in 2021, which grabbed the interest of Reynolds and Jackman.
The bond between the artists deepened as they communicated through social media and finally had the opportunity to meet in person during Stray Kids’ trip to the United States.
Upon reflecting on this one-of-a-kind collaboration, Stray Kids conveyed their appreciation towards Reynolds and Jackman for their eagerness to take part despite their demanding schedules.
“We reached out first. Despite their busy schedules, they took the time to collaborate with us. We connected while we were in the U.S. for other reasons. We are grateful to them. Even seeing us together in the frame on screen, it’s hard to believe we’re in the same space. It feels like CGI.”
