Stray Kids – THIS & THAT (Album)

Stray Kids open a fresh chapter with “THIS & THAT,” their tenth Korean-language mini-album and a clear shift in sonic direction. The eight-track project trades some of their harder edges for a cooler mix of alternative hip-hop, R&B, pop-rock, and balladry. It arrives through JYP Entertainment and Republic Records, with production touches from Tele and The Monsters & Strangerz adding new textures. The group formed under JYP in 2017 and has since built a massive global following. Their discography now spans six studio albums and fourteen mini-albums, yet this release feels like a deliberate pivot. The themes lean into broad, emotional territory rather than the aggressive sound of earlier work. That versatility keeps the eight-member act hard to pin down. So while “THIS & THAT” marks a milestone, it also signals where Stray Kids might head next. Have you streamed the new mini-album yet? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
