Stray Kids to Release Mini Album 'THIS & THAT' on Aug. 7
'THIS & THAT' is an eight-track mini landing August 7, teased by a comeback trailer that made zero literal sense and total emotional sense. it follows June's 'RUN IT' and comes with KSPO Dome shows plus an entire world tour.
stray kids opened this era with a comeback trailer at midnight KST on july 8 that made zero literal sense and complete emotional sense, which is simply how they operate now. we watched it eleven times. we understood nothing. we felt everything.
the album is 'THIS & THAT,' out august 7 at 1 p.m. KST, and the tracklist landed on july 10: eight tracks total, including 'After You,' 'FARMING,' 'I Do,' 'Way Out' and 'Back Then' — plus a festival version of the title track, because they know exactly what they're doing to their own setlists.
'RUN IT' is on there too, the pre-release the eight of them put out back in june, so the momentum was already banked before the trailer even dropped. that's not a rollout. that's a siege.
and the teasers have not stopped since, including an 'UNVEIL' clip for the b-side 'FARMING' on july 17. eight members, one relentless content schedule, zero consideration for anyone who holds down a job.
stack the KSPO Dome dates and the world tour on top of it and the math gets simple: STAY are not resting this year. stretch, hydrate, set an alarm for august 7. 🔥

Stray Kids' 'THIS & THAT' Sells 3 Million Copies in First Week
'this & that' is only the SECOND record of all 2026 to hit 3 mil first-week — these men do not miss and i am exhausted (affectionate)
no bc how are stray kids just casually shifting THREE MILLION albums in a single week like it's nothing. 'this & that' hasn't even been out two weeks and stays are already rewriting the record books. i need a lie down.
per hanteo, the mini blew past 3 million copies in its first week — making it only the SECOND album of ALL of 2026 to pull that off. the other one? bts's 'arirang.' so the entire 3-mil-first-week club this year is stray kids and bts. no notes. just staring.
and it's not even new for them?? this is the FOURTH skz album to bulldoze the 3 million mark in week one, joining '5-STAR,' 'ROCK-STAR' and 'KARMA.' the way they simply keep doing this. serving consistency like it's a subscription service.
'this & that' only dropped august 7, which makes the numbers even more unhinged — barely five days on shelves and already in the history books. mother is mothering, the boys are boying, we are so back.
anyway stays go touch grass (i can't either).
