stray kids are throwing STAY a week-long party and dropping a surprise album as the gift
the boys are celebrating 8 years of STAY with 'STAYweeK' AND a digital album 'SKZ-REPLAY 2026 Pt.1' on august 1 — then bodying the billboard 200 again with new mini 'THIS & THAT' on august 7. rest is for the weak.
not stray kids pulling up to their own fandom's anniversary with GIFTS. august 1 marks 8 years of STAY, and instead of a cute little tweet, skz are doing the absolute most — as they should.
enter '2026 STAYweeK': a full seven-day celebration running july 27 through august 1, stacked with a short-form drama, a pop-up cafe, video content and livestreams. a whole week. for the fans. the loyalty is being rewarded and i'm not crying, you are.
the crown jewel is a digital album called 'SKZ-REPLAY 2026 Pt.1' dropping august 1 at midnight, which jyp is literally framing as a thank-you gift to stays. tracklist and cover art get revealed monday, so fix your notifications now.
and because they refuse to let us breathe, the new mini album 'THIS & THAT' lands august 7 at 1pm — eight tracks, title track of the same name, fully written and produced in-house by 3racha (bang chan, changbin and han). the self-sufficiency. the audacity. the talent.
for the girlies keeping score: this comes right after 'SKZ IT TAPE DO IT' stretched their streak to EIGHT straight no. 1 debuts on the billboard 200. they don't chart, they colonize. bang chan, run it back.

not d.o. naming his comeback 'DOPAMINE' when HE is the dopamine
exo's velvet-voiced menace is dropping his fourth solo mini on september 8 and the teaser rollout starts this week
bestie sit down. doh kyung soo — d.o. to the streets, serotonin to the girlies — is officially coming back and he named the album 'DOPAMINE' like he KNOWS exactly what he does to our nervous systems.
the facts: it's his fourth solo mini album and it lands september 8 at 6pm KST, with the teaser rollout kicking off basically now. clear the camera roll for incoming visuals.
this is his first proper solo moment in about a year — the last thing he blessed us with was the digital single 'DUMB' — so the man is fully rested, fully marinated, and about to remind everyone the vocals were never a rumor.
september 8. write it down. we're going to be so normal about this (we are not).
