On July 25 at 11 PM KST, Stray Kids (스트레이 키즈) released the official comeback timetable for their highly anticipated 4th full-length album 'KARMA,' marking their first full album release in over two years.
According to the timetable, the lead-up to the August 22 comeback will include a series of content drops, including additional trailers, tracklist, and album previews throughout August.
The announcement, made via the group’s official SNS, comes on the heels of a cinematic comeback trailer that introduced fans to the futuristic universe of “2081 KARMA SPORTS,” a dystopian, sports-inspired storyline featuring each member as a champion spanning the years 2074 to 2080.
With this, Stray Kids continue to expand their distinctive storytelling style, which merges music, world-building, and visual artistry.
The full album 'KARMA' will officially be released on August 22 at 1 PM KST (12 AM ET). This marks Stray Kids’ first full-length album since ★★★★★ (5-STAR) in June 2023, and comes after the massive success of their mini album ATE and world tour Stray Kids World Tour 'dominATE', which has spanned 34 cities with 54 shows, 38 of which were held in stadiums.
The “KARMA” trailer also revealed symbolic imagery of a “KARMA coin,” hinting at deeper themes of fate, competition, and consequence. The project is expected to deliver Stray Kids’ signature high-impact sound, lyrical intensity, and bold concepts.
Following a record-breaking streak that includes six consecutive No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, an unmatched feat in the chart’s 69-year history, the group is set to solidify their status as global top artists with this comeback.
With 'KARMA,' Stray Kids aim to channel adrenaline and intensity into a project that will break the monotony of everyday life and hit listeners with thrilling energy.
Stay tuned for more updates as the 'KARMA' era officially begins.
