Stray Kids Go Sci-Fi in New Album “KARMA”

On July 25, JYP Entertainment announced that Stray Kids will be releasing their fourth studio album, “KARMA,” on August 22 at 1 p.m. KST. This marks their first full-length comeback since “★★★★★ (5-STAR)” in June 2023 and expectations are high.

Stray Kids just dropped a teaser for their upcoming album “KARMA” — and it’s wild! Titled “2081 KARMA Sports,” the clip shows the members going head-to-head in epic, made-up sports inspired by the Olympics and World Cup. Fans are already loving how it pushes the SKZ universe even further with that intense, chaotic energy we all know and love.

The group is currently in the final stages of their “dominATE” world tour, which has spanned 34 cities across multiple continents since kicking off in Seoul last August. They are scheduled to perform in Saint-Denis, France, this weekend and will conclude the tour with a concert in Rome on July 30. Although the tracklist for the album “KARMA” hasn’t been announced yet, fans are already eagerly anticipating their new release, given the huge success of previous songs like “God’s Menu,” “Thunderous,” “Maniac,” and “Walkin on Water.”
