A young and fan-favorite K-pop group, Stray Kids, released its new album, 5-star, on June 2, 2023. But a recent hilarious event circled the group as they were invited to perform at KCON, Los Angeles, 2023. One of the members, Kim Seungmin, revealed that he didn't know anything about the invitation, saying, "I didn't know that" in response to a fan's question about the KCON LA. As funny as it sounded, some fans were shocked by it.

In Japan, KCON commenced on May 12, 2023, and concluded on May 14, 2023. Some well-known K-pop groups like LESSERAFIM, ENHYPEN, XG, iKON, TEMPEST, etc, were seen rocking the stage and sending a wave of musical energy among fans.

Stray Kids are not on any tour yet, but they have recently had the privilege of performing at some of the biggest stages in the world. Some of these stages are Jimmy Kimmel Live and Music Bank Paris. They are due to perform at Lollapalooza Paris this July as well.


Stray Kids recently released their new album, 5-Star, with 12 tracks on June 2. The album is a hit among the masses already, as most of the songs are of the BOP genre. Each song on the album has a unique zestful sound and dynamic style. The album’s theme song S-Class has got the fans hooked ever since. Other songs, such as TOPLINE, Super Bowl, Hall of Fame, etc, are huge hits too.

The lyrics for the album have been curated by 3RACHA (Stray Kids' sub-unit consisting of Bang Chan, Han, and Changbin) and produced with the in-house production team. After the success of their previous album, Maxident, this one is highly anticipated.
