STAY JOURNAL

Stray Kids is a music group formed by Bang Chan, the leader. The group is composed of eight members: Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N. They officially debuted on March 25, 2018. The name Stray Kids stems from the fact that they are simply kids who are searching for their dream and trying to find their goal.

Their first mini album’s “I Am Not” trailer lines are: “They say people are born different but why does it feel like we’re the same? Us, brainwashed into the same system, they expected perfection. So how can we be different? A sign. An omen. A GLITCH.”

Stray Kids is the glitch. They choose to break out of the system and to not conform to standards. Their music is experimental, innovative, and explosive. Their main theme tackles the exploration of oneself, further emphasizing their name. 3racha, their producing line composed of Bang Chan, Han, and Changbin, has taken the forefront in making Stray Kids’ music. They are known for their inventive use of mixing genres like hip-hop, rock, EDM to name a few.
