K-pop group Stray Kids speak about their recent success

Seungmin, I.N. and Lee Know from the K-pop group Stray Kids sat down for an interview with Dazed Magazine. They discussed the recent success that came with the release of their comeback 5-Star.

After the release of the album, they set an impressive record for the highest-selling album in Hanteo history. Lee Know commented, saying:

“I think that we received a huge gift from STAY [Stray Kids’ fandom] while promoting ‘S-Class.’ Our fans always spend a great deal of time and love on us. Thanks to them, our album was able to receive a better response. Our promotions felt like a really big gift to us. I’m truly grateful.”

Seungmin also discussed his appearance on King of the Masked Singer. “I didn’t have any intention of hiding my identity by changing my voice or singing style. But even I agree that because my voice is so clear [in terms of its distinctive tone], it became impossible for me to hide my identity. I just worked hard to do a good job singing on stage, thinking that I wanted to show everything I’d honed up until now.”

Speaking about his hopes for the group in the future, I.N. admitted: “I hope we don’t mature. I want us to keep living just as we are now, promoting under the name Stray Kids, travelling to many countries all around the world and performing while also trying out a wide variety of music genres. Ah, but on a personal level, I really want to try busking no matter what. That’s just a small dream of mine.”
