Stray Kids illuminated the darkness in suits. On the 23rd, their agency JYP Entertainment announced the upcoming release of the new album SKZHOP HIPTAPE 'HOP' and revealed unit and group concept photos. A JYP representative explained, 'Stray Kids exuded an unapproachable charisma. Against a pitch-black background, Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N displayed a heavy presence, reinterpreting suits reminiscent of 90s-2000s hip-hop.' SKZHOP HIPTAPE is a coined term combining the abbreviation of the group name 'SKZ' and 'HIP HOP.' It signifies the presentation of a 'new genre unique to Stray Kids' without a formal definition. The album includes the title track 'Walkin On Water,' as well as 'Bounce Back,' 'U (Feat. TABLO),' 'Walkin On Water (HIP Ver.),' and bonus tracks featuring solo stage songs performed by members during the world tour: 'Railway (Bang Chan),' 'Unfair (Felix),' 'HALLUCINATION (I.N),' 'Youth (Lee Know),' 'So Good (Hyunjin),' 'ULTRA (Changbin),' 'Hold my hand (Han),' and 'Slowly, we (Seungmin).' Stray Kids' SKZHOP HIPTAPE 'HOP' will be released on December 13 at 2 PM (Eastern Time, 0 AM).
