Stray Kids (Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N) will release their new song “CEREMONY” on August 22, launching a special celebration as K-pop champions.



The group is set to make their first comeback of 2025 with the release of their 4th full-length album “KARMA” on August 22 at 1 PM KST (midnight EST). The trailer video announcing the comeback features the champions—Hyunjin, I.N, Bang Chan, Lee Know, Seungmin, Han, Changbin, and Felix—grasping the “KARMA Coin” as they burn with determination to claim another victory at “2081 KARMA SPORTS.” Upon its release on July 25, the trailer ranked No.1 on YouTube’s Worldwide Trending for Music and maintained that spot for four consecutive days, drawing explosive global attention.



JYP Entertainment further fueled the excitement by unveiling the official tracklist via their social media channels on July 29. The tracklist image radiates a grand festival atmosphere, with red smoke flares and confetti filling the blue sky, evoking a thrilling sense of energy and vibrance. Each track’s title is styled in unique typography, hinting at the mood of the songs.



According to the roll paper-style tracklist, the new album contains 11 songs, including the title track “CEREMONY,” as well as:





"삐처리" (Beep-Cut)



“CREED”



“MESS” (엉망 (메스))



“In My Head”



“Half Time” (반전 (하프 타임))



“Phoenix”



“Ghost”



“0801”



“CEREMONY (Festival Version)”



“CEREMONY (English Version)”



Notably, the group’s in-house producing team 3RACHA once again contributed to the credits for all tracks, including the title song “CEREMONY.” Stray Kids, the “record makers” who made history by becoming the first artists in Billboard 200’s 69-year history to debut at No.1 with six consecutive albums created by themselves, are expected to shake up the global music scene again this summer with their self-produced work.



Meanwhile, Stray Kids are approaching the final leg of their largest-ever world tour, “Stray Kids World Tour .” On July 26 and 27 (local time), they drew a total of 120,000 fans at France’s Stade de France, setting the record for the largest K-pop concert ever held in France. They are set to conclude their European stadium tour with a grand finale at Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Italy, on July 30.
