- 'Stray Kids becomes JYP's first million-selling artist with the well-made mini album 'ODDINARY', solidifying their status as trendsetters! Anticipation builds worldwide!

As the frontrunners of the 4th generation of K-pop, Stray Kids released their new mini album 'ODDINARY' and its title track 'MANIAC' on March 18, 2022.
Following their victory on Mnet's 'Kingdom: Legendary War' in 2021, Stray Kids quickly became a K-pop sensation with music that deeply reflects their identity, including the title tracks of their first full album 'God’s Menu' and repackage album 'IN生 (IN LIFE)' 'Back Door', as well as the title track of their second full album 'Thunderous'. Notably, with their second full album 'NOEASY', they became JYP's first million-selling artists. They return with 'ODDINARY', their well-crafted mini album released after a significant break since 'Cle: LEVANTER' in December 2019, aiming to solidify their position in the industry.
'ODDINARY' truly reflects the essence of Stray Kids' unique characteristics. The album name combines 'Odd' and 'Ordinary', suggesting that even ordinary people have their oddities, thus making the strange, ordinary. The album's fresh and unique charm is expected to lead the K-pop mainstream. Stray Kids have also been known for their witty and double-meaning album titles, such as their first full album 'GO生 (GO LIVE)', 'God’s Menu', the repackage album 'IN生', their second full album 'NOEASY', and the holiday special single 'Christmas EveL'.
The title track 'MANIAC' adds a new layer to Stray Kids' unique charm and captivates K-pop fans worldwide once again. The bold sound and addictive chorus highlight the group's energy, while the song's diverse composition adds a sense of restraint and maturity, offering a breath of fresh air. The lyrics, such as "Like a doll with all its stitches burst, eventually revealing its true colors in this uncomfortable life," convey the message to break free from societal norms and reveal one's true self.
The music video for the new song visually expresses its unique sound, enhancing the viewing and listening experience. The video shifts scenes to match the mood changes in the song, creating a distinctive atmosphere and increasing engagement. It also presents the members' perspectives on the world in a surreal manner, adding a dramatic feel through their portrayal of characters with individual narratives.
Stray Kids, with its producing team 3RACHA (Bang Chan, Changbin, Han) at the core, has participated consistently in album production, achieving significant growth through their music. They have made notable achievements on global platforms like Spotify, Instagram, and YouTube, and have won multiple awards, including their first grand prize within three years of debut.
The new album features seven tracks, including 'MANIAC', 'Venom', 'Charmer', 'Cheese', 'Lonely St.', 'Star Lost (Bang Chan, Lee Know, Seungmin, I.N)', and 'Muddy Water (Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix)', with all members credited for their deep musicality. The album's completion was further enhanced by collaboration with distinguished writers such as VERSACHOI, who worked on 'God’s Menu', along with DallasK, Trippy, JUN2, Nickko Young, and Millionboy.
With the mini album 'ODDINARY' and its title track 'MANIAC', Stray Kids steps into the heart of K-pop, continuing their journey of rising popularity with music, concepts, and music videos that are extraordinary.
