Stray Kids — 樂-STAR (ROCK-STAR) [8th Mini Album] Limited Ver.
STAY, let's show them how we rock! 🎸🌟 樂-STAR (ROCK-STAR) is Stray Kids' explosive 8th mini album — a powerful declaration of freedom that proves SKZ are the ultimate rockstars of K-pop! Released November 10, 2023, this quadruple million-seller continues their unstoppable chart dominance.
The Limited Version delivers everything in the Standard editions PLUS exclusive extras: Special Mini Poster (random 1 of 8) and 4-Cut Photo Film! Combined with the 60-page photobook, photocards, panorama mini poster, unit photocard, and sticker, this is the ultimate ROCK-STAR experience for serious collectors!
Available now at Kpop Exchange — ships fast from Denver, Colorado with Hanteo chart-eligible purchases!
樂-STAR (ROCK-STAR) arrived five months after the record-breaking 5-STAR, proving Stray Kids show no signs of slowing down. The title is a clever wordplay: the Sino-Korean pronunciation of 樂 (rak/rock) sounds like "rock," creating a dual meaning of "rock star" and "pleasure/joy star" — because SKZ's pleasure continues no matter what!
Why This Album Stands Out:
4× Million certified — 4,000,000+ copies sold (KMCA)
1.88 million first-day sales (Hanteo) — massive debut
3.65 million first-week sales (Circle Chart)
#1 Circle Album Chart — monthly chart topper
LiSA collaboration — Japanese rock icon features on "Social Path"
"Concept restaurant" energy — SKZ's signature creative storytelling
The "Let's Show Them How We Rock" Concept: The prologue video features a marching band boy falling asleep before a performance, dreaming of Stray Kids as bank-robbing clowns, angry pirates, and more surreal scenes. Felix and Bang Chan's contrasting narration styles (calming vs. theatrical) set the stage for an album about unleashing your inner rockstar and finding freedom beyond any evaluation.

Q: What is Stray Kids ROCK-STAR? A: 樂-STAR (ROCK-STAR) is Stray Kids' 8th Korean mini album (13th EP overall), released November 10, 2023. The album features 8 tracks including the title track "LALALALA" (락/樂). The title is a wordplay where 樂 (rak) sounds like "rock," meaning both "rock star" and "pleasure star."
Q: What is special about the Limited Version? A: The Limited Version includes everything in the Standard editions PLUS two exclusive items: Special Mini Poster (random 1 of 8 members) and 4-Cut Photo Film. These items are NOT available in the Standard ROCK, ROLL, HEADLINER, or POSTCARD versions.
Q: What is included in the Limited Version? A: The Limited Version includes: 60-page Photobook, CD-R, Photocard (random 1 of 16), Unit Photocard (random 1 of 4), Panorama Mini Poster (random 1 of 3), Sticker, Special Mini Poster (random 1 of 8), and 4-Cut Photo Film. Pre-order benefits (selfie photocard, folded poster, film photocards set) may not be included in current stock.
Q: What does "樂-STAR" mean? A: "樂-STAR" is a wordplay combining Korean/Chinese and English. The character 樂 (pronounced "rak" in Sino-Korean) sounds like "rock," so the title means both "ROCK-STAR" and "pleasure/joy star." This reflects the album's theme that SKZ's pleasure and freedom continue no matter what happens.
Q: Who is LiSA and why is she on this album? A: LiSA is a legendary Japanese rock singer known for anime theme songs. She features on "Social Path," a collaboration originally released on Stray Kids' Japanese EP. The Korean version on ROCK-STAR brings this powerful rock anthem to Korean audiences.

A: ROCK-STAR has multiple versions: Limited (60p photobook + exclusive special mini poster + 4-cut film), Standard ROCK/ROLL (60p photobook, different concepts), HEADLINER (24p photobook, compact), and 8 POSTCARD member versions (postcard format). The Limited Version has the most complete inclusions.
Q: How many copies did ROCK-STAR sell? A: ROCK-STAR sold 1,885,065 copies on release day (Hanteo) and over 4.12 million in its first month (Circle Chart). It received quadruple million (4× Million) certification from KMCA.

Q: What is "Cover Me" about? A: "Cover Me" is a near-ballad about being caught in overwhelming sadness. Dazed ranked it #25 among the best K-pop tracks of 2023, calling it "a glimmering pearl in the Rock-Star jewellery box." Hyunjin co-wrote the lyrics.
Q: What is the "MEGAVERSE" MV about? A: The "MEGAVERSE" MV shows Stray Kids knocking out security guards in a heist scenario. It features a surprise cameo from legendary Korean rapper Tablo (Epik High) as a new security guard at the end.
Q: Is ROCK-STAR connected to their other albums? A: ROCK-STAR continues themes from their "STAR" series (following 5-STAR) and connects to their Season Song project. The album represents SKZ showing their "rockstar aspect and freedom" while proving "our pleasure continues no matter what."
