Stray Kids' 'THIS & THAT' Sells 3 Million Copies in First Week
'this & that' is only the SECOND record of all 2026 to hit 3 mil first-week — these men do not miss and i am exhausted (affectionate)
no bc how are stray kids just casually shifting THREE MILLION albums in a single week like it's nothing. 'this & that' hasn't even been out two weeks and stays are already rewriting the record books. i need a lie down.
per hanteo, the mini blew past 3 million copies in its first week — making it only the SECOND album of ALL of 2026 to pull that off. the other one? bts's 'arirang.' so the entire 3-mil-first-week club this year is stray kids and bts. no notes. just staring.
and it's not even new for them?? this is the FOURTH skz album to bulldoze the 3 million mark in week one, joining '5-STAR,' 'ROCK-STAR' and 'KARMA.' the way they simply keep doing this. serving consistency like it's a subscription service.
'this & that' only dropped august 7, which makes the numbers even more unhinged — barely five days on shelves and already in the history books. mother is mothering, the boys are boying, we are so back.
anyway stays go touch grass (i can't either).

Stray Kids' Lee Know Donates 100 Million Won for Nepal Floods
the idol gave to world vision on august 28, specifically asking that it go toward food, clean water and shelter for families hit by the floods.
taking a soft moment because this one is genuinely lovely: Stray Kids' Lee Know has donated 100 million won (around $72,610) to help families affected by the floods in Nepal.
he made the donation on august 28 to the NGO World Vision, and specifically requested that the funds go toward life-saving aid — food and nutritional support, clean water, temporary housing, and sanitation and hygiene help for people who lost so much.
no big rollout, no fanfare — just a meaningful gift aimed exactly where it's needed most. that's the kind of thing that reminds you why you love these artists beyond the music.
sending love to everyone affected by the flooding, and a lot of respect to Lee Know for showing up. quietly iconic behavior. 🤍
