Stray Kids Announce 'THIS & THAT' EP and Discuss Upcoming Military Enlistment

South Korean boy band Stray Kids will release their new eight‑track EP "THIS & THAT" on August 7, 2026, featuring a mix of hip‑hop, rock, house and acoustic songs. The comeback coincides with the announcement of a new world tour.

During promotional interviews, member Lee Know said he views South Korea’s mandatory military service as a natural duty and will fulfill it when called. He noted that the group plans to reconvene after each member’s enlistment period. While Lee Know and other Korean members approach enlistment age, Bang Chan and Felix, who hold Australian citizenship, are exempt from the requirement.
