Bingkai Karya – Stray Kids are set to drop their third Japanese mini album “Hollow” on June 18, marking their first Japanese mini album release in nearly three years since CIRCUS in 2022.
A newly released teaser image—featuring a translucent sphere held in a hand—evokes a sense of mystery and elegance, hinting at the group’s evolving artistic concept for Hollow.
The release follows the group’s recent celebration of the 5th anniversary of their official Japanese debut on March 18. Since debuting in Japan in March 2020, Stray Kids have topped major local charts including Oricon, Tower Records, and Billboard Japan, solidifying a strong presence in the market. Their most recent Japanese full-length album Social Path (Giant), released in November 2024, has surpassed 500,000 units shipped and earned double platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ).
Additionally, their 2021 Japanese single Scars / Thunderous (Japanese ver.) reached platinum status in March 2025 with over 250,000 units shipped.
In late 2023, Stray Kids drew over 315,000 fans across six sold-out shows at Tokyo Dome and Kyocera Dome Osaka as part of their 5-STAR Dome Tour.
With Hollow, Stray Kids are poised to mark yet another milestone in their ever-expanding achievements in the Japanese music scene.
