Stray Kids
Meet Stray Kids (스트레이키즈) , a rock-inspired K-pop group of the 4th generation, managed by JYP Entertainment . They debuted on March 26, 2018, following a showcase called “Homecoming.” The group, abbreviated SKZ, is growing through the love of Stay , which refers to their fans.
However, the group was formed in 2017 during the TV show "Stray Kids", from which their name comes. This show was very popular, allowing the group to become known even before their debut in 2018.
This legendary group consists of 8 members but had debuted with 9 members. Woojin, the 9th member, left on October 28, 2019 after 1 year in the group for personal reasons. The circumstances of his departure remain uncertain to this day and have been the subject of many rumors.
Stray Kids continued to rise thanks to the message conveyed by their name. “Stray Kids” can be defined as “stray children”. Through their music they try to bring strength to people who feel different and who would therefore be “stray children”. “Stray Kids everywhere all around the world” is the motto of the group, which means “Stray kids everywhere, all around the world”.
