Stray Kids showcased their different charms. On December 13, Stray Kids will release a new format album SKZHOP HIPTAPE "合（HOP）" and the title track "Walkin On Water". Prior to this, they are sequentially releasing teaser content through their official SNS. On November 24 at 11 PM, the third set of individual and group concept photos was released. In the photos, the members exuded a strong aura against a backdrop of uniquely Korean spaces. Their styling, featuring items like fur jackets, hairbands, nails, piercings, and uniquely patterned eye makeup, highlighted their individuality. The bows and arrows decorated with stones, chains, and bandanas gave off a trendy yet traditional vibe. 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" that has no formal definition, exclusive to Stray Kids. The first installment, "合（HOP）", carries a dual meaning of “gathering” and “hip hop” completed by the eight members. The new album includes the title track "Walkin On Water", along with tracks like "Bounce Back", "U (Feat. TABLO)", and the solo stage songs performed during their world tour "dominATE". Bonus tracks include songs from each member. Once again, the group’s internal production team 3RACHA, consisting of Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han, led the project, with all members credited, infusing their musical colors. They have made records at various global music award ceremonies, including the MTV Video Music Awards and Billboard Music Awards, and are nominated for the 67th Grammy Awards for their song "SLASH" featured in the soundtrack of the movie "Deadpool & Wolverine". Stray Kids' SKZHOP HIPTAPE "合（HOP）" and title track "Walkin On Water" will be released on December 13 at 2 PM (Eastern Time 0 AM).
