Stray Kids drops new album ‘Hop’

December 13, 2024

K-pop boy group Stray Kids released its new album “Hop” on Friday, the group’s agency said.

The album’s title carries a dual meaning, combining the Chinese character for “harmony” and “hop” from the name of the hip-hop music genre, according to JYP Entertainment.

Led by “Walkin On Water,” the album features a total of 12 songs, including “Bounce Back,” “U” and solo pieces performed during the team’s latest world tour.

All members contributed to the album’s production, with the group’s in-house producing unit 3RACHA composed of Bang Chan, Changbin and Han playing a central role.

Stray Kids was to perform at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards, one of the biggest pop music awards in the United States, taking place in Los Angeles.
