Stray Kids stirred the internet with their recent Instagram story on September 11, 2024, hinting at an upcoming project. Eagle-eyed fans noticed the font design used in their story, which differs from the K-pop group's original font theme and concept. Speculations ran rife amongst fans after the chatter hit online, suggesting that the font seemed similar to the popular Netflix show, Arcane.
Set amid the downtrodden subterranean of Zaun and the utopian Piltover, Arcane tells the backstory of two legendary League champions— Vi and Jinx. The highly anticipated second season of Arcane is set to be released on Netflix soon.
On September 10, 2024, the official X account, @arcaneshow, revealed that they would release the official tracklist for the upcoming season later this week. Fans of Stray Kids swiftly summarized the circumstances and speculated that the K-pop group could have worked with Arcane on a song.

One fan wrote on X,
"STRAY KIDS are using the very same font as the other artists who dropped the hints for the arcane soundtrack ??? i’m going to FREAK OUT…"
Excitement was prevalent on social media as fans expressed their expectations for the group's confirmation on the subject.
"ITS BASICALLY CONFIRMED, ARCANE X STRAY KIDS IS HAPPENING," wrote a fan.
"The hint they dropped is the caption an artist rumoured to be on the soundtrack used when they posted their (alleged) hint. So, if her picture was a hint, the Arcane account used her caption as **their** hint, and the style of Stray Kids' photo matches hers..." one fan speculated.
"If this is true you will not hear from me ever again. I’ve ascended to another plane of life," another fan wrote.
"This is seriously so big for them if they are! Season 1 of Arcane was really popular and so was the song Enemy. Can u imagine the exposure!!" another fan said.
Several fans noted that the new music might be released on Friday, September 13, 2024. They were giddy with anticipation for the speculative collaboration between Stray Kids and the League of Legends-based Netflix series, Arcane season 2.
"PAUSE WE'RE FINALLY GETTING A SKZ AND LEAGUE COLLAB??? OH THIS IS GOING TO EAT," one fan reacted.
"Arcane season 2 soundtrack is revealing this week, high chance it's revealing kst on friday the 13th. friday. the. 13th," another fan noted.
"If Stray Kids being on the Arcane soundtrack is real, that's insane. Headlined major festivals this year, have an original song in Deadpool, have two new songs coming out for an anime, and a member with multiple ballads for K-dramas. Music so good there's no escape, I fear," another fan stated.
