SEOUL, South Korea — Stray Kids are charging into 2026 with high energy, delivering a heartfelt 8th anniversary single, wrapping their successful 6th fan meeting "STAY in Our Little House," and gearing up for a major new album and world tour that promise to solidify their status as one of K-pop's most dynamic acts.

The eight-member group — Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N — released the emotional single "별, 빛 (STAY)" on March 25, 2026, to mark eight years since their 2018 debut. The track, dedicated to their devoted fandom STAY, reaffirms the bond between the group and fans, blending heartfelt lyrics with the band's signature self-produced sound. The anniversary release came alongside a visualizer and special content celebrating their journey from underdogs to global headliners. Just weeks later, Stray Kids completed four days of their highly anticipated 6th fan meeting "STAY in Our Little House" at Inspire Arena in Incheon on March 28-29 and April 4-5. The intimate yet spectacular events featured performances, games (including a popular Pepero game), heartfelt talks and variety segments. Some days were livestreamed via Beyond LIVE, allowing international fans to join. Seungmin performed with limited movement due to a left ankle fracture announced in mid-March, but the group's chemistry and fan interactions created what many called a "fever dream" experience. Setlists included hits like "DIVINE," "Chk Chk Boom," "LALALALA" and newer tracks. The fan meeting capped a strong start to the year following the group's "STEP OUT 2026" video released on Dec. 31, 2025.........
