Stray Kids, a leading K-pop group, has made history by becoming the first K-pop act to grace the cover of Rolling Stone UK. This milestone was officially announced by their label, JYP Entertainment, last Friday. The British music magazine unveiled the cover image online on Wednesday, featuring the eight band members smiling and posing with their arms around each other's shoulders, symbolizing their strong camaraderie and unity.
Rolling Stone UK praised Stray Kids as "fully-fledged global superstars," highlighting their remarkable achievement as the first group in the world to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 with their first five chart entries. This recognition underscores the group’s significant influence and growing presence on the global music stage. The magazine has dedicated an impressive 26 pages to Stray Kids in its issue, set to be released on September 19, further cementing their status as international icons.
The group's unprecedented success is also reflected in the ongoing popularity of their ninth EP, Ate, which is currently spending its fifth week on the Billboard 200, ranking at No. 38. This accomplishment is a testament to Stray Kids’ consistent appeal and the loyalty of their fanbase.
In addition to their media accolades, Stray Kids are actively engaging with fans through live performances. The group is scheduled to perform in Seoul this weekend to a sold-out crowd, following their concerts last weekend, which marked the beginning of their world tour. This tour is set to continue into January next year, with performances across various countries, further showcasing their global reach and influence.
Stray Kids' rise to prominence not only exemplifies the global expansion of K-pop but also signals a new era where Korean artists are increasingly recognized and celebrated on prestigious international platforms like Rolling Stone UK. As they continue to break barriers and set new standards, Stray Kids are undeniably at the forefront of the K-pop wave sweeping across the world.
