The popular boy group from JYP Entertainment, known for their globally successful albums such as ROCK-STAR and 5-STAR, made history as the first-ever K-pop group to get invited to the coveted Met Gala on May 6, 2024.
Just a few days later, fans were thrilled to see Esther Choi post stories of the members on her Instagram and also shared pictures of them on her profile feed, announcing filming for the third season of Heat Eaters.

This would be Stray Kids' first collaboration and appearance on a Western food reality show. Fans were excited about the prospect and they took to Twitter (now X) to express their anticipation for the upcoming season and witness the group in an all-new setting.
Stray Kids released their latest single Lose My Breath featuring western musician Charlie Puth on May 10, 2024. The group also announced their comeback single, set to be released on July 19, 2024, after their headlining show at the I-Days Milano music festival on July 12 in Italy.
