STRAY KIDS
STRAY KIDS, who became a representative K-pop group by topping the Billboard 200 album chart in the United States, is also making headlines at the “Paris 2024 Olympics.”
Whether on social media or in the media, on July 29 (local time), Mexican gymnast Alexa Moreno performed various moves to the background music of STRAY KIDS‘ representative songs “S-Class“, “Maniac”, and “Lalala” during the preliminary round of women’s artistic gymnastics at the “Paris 2024 Olympic Games” the day before.
The acrobatics and choreography used with these three colorful songs were performed to the melody and rhythm.
STRAY KIDS‘ songs contain a message to show the world a special person with confidence. The three songs used by Moreno this time are representative examples. Her acting was full of moments to express herself with confidence to STRAY KIDS‘ dynamic songs.
“S-class” is the title track of STRAY KIDS’ third studio album “★★★★★” released in June last year. The lyrics “He shines the brightest among the unique children and the brightest among the special children” are a message. The title track has a unique rhythm because it contains various sound sources.
“Maniac”, the title track of STRAY KIDS‘s 6th mini album “ODDINARY” released in March 2022, does not fit into the normal and simple lifestyle imposed by the world, but sings to show the world his own “maniacal appearance”. The condensed energy is superb.
The title track of the eighth mini album “樂-STAR”, released in November last year, is exciting and powerful by introducing rock elements into the Afrobeats-based rhythm.
In addition, the three albums of which each song is the title track have one thing in common: they reached number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
Previously, Bulgarian rhythmic gymnast Boriana Kalain caught the attention of STRAY KIDS fans, STAYs, by using “Special” in the “Hoop Event” at the World Championship.
STRAY KIDS and gymnastics will continue their relationship. The world tour will kick off with four concerts at Case 4 Dome in Seoul from May 24 to 25 and May 31 to September 1. Case 4 Dome is a former gymnastics stadium.
In addition, STRAY KIDS reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with their ninth mini album “ATE,” released on July 19. The song’s title track, “Chk Chk Boom,” debuted at No. 49 on Billboard’s Hot 100 singles chart this week. This is the highest ranking on the chart itself.
