Checking in on Stray Kids fans after this wallop of a three-tiered announcent. The eight-member group posted on social media that they will release a single titled "RUN IT" on June 24, followed by an eight-track album titled THIS & THAT on August 7, alongside the announcement of a new world tour also bearing the "RUN IT" name.
"RUN IT" arrives June 24 at 1pm KST, giving fans only two days to prepare mentally. The full THIS & THAT album will follow on August 7 at the same time. The teaser clocks in just under a minute and leans into a stripped-down visual palette — warehouse-style sets and sun-bleached desert shots, the members dressed entirely in black and white. There’s no real plot to latch onto yet, but the mood seems colder and more film-like than what the group has put out recently. It’s their first big release since the Do It mixtape dropped last November, not counting “STAY”, the anthem they did earlier this year for the fans.
A new world tour, also titled "RUN IT," was confirmed alongside the music announcement, though specific cities, venues, and dates have not yet been revealed,. The tour follows the group’s Dominate World Tour, the biggest concert tour in Latin America, North America, and Europe in 2025, which sold 1.3 million tickets and grossed $185.9 million. The North American leg alone grossed approximately $76.2 million, making it the best-selling and highest-grossing North American leg of any K-pop tour.
A concert film documenting the tour, Stray Kids: The dominATE Experience, directed by Paul Dugdale with segments of the doc by Farah X and produced by Live Nation Studios, premiered in theaters February this year, drawing on footage from the group’s sold-out shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The film opened at number one at the global box office with $19.9 million, the largest opening weekend for a Korean-language film in IMAX history, and grossed $5.7 million domestically and $14 million internationally in its opening weekend. It also became the highest-grossing K-pop concert film on record in Germany, the UK, and Ireland.
