Stray Kids SKZHOP HIPTAPE ‘合 (HOP)’ Album [SKZHOP Version] STAY… this one hits different. Stray Kids’ SKZHOP HIPTAPE ‘合 (HOP)’ breaks away from the traditional K-pop album format and leans fully into a hip-hop mixtape identity, delivering raw sound, bold visuals, and unapologetic SKZ energy. This is Stray Kids at their most experimental, gritty, and creative — a project that feels less like a polished comeback and more like something straight out of their studio sessions. The SKZHOP Version captures that underground mixtape vibe perfectly: Street-inspired graphics High-contrast red + black visuals Collage-style packaging DIY zine / hip-hop culture aesthetic It’s chaotic. It’s loud. It’s Stray Kids. Release Date December 13, 2024 WHY THIS ERA MATTERS This isn’t just another SKZ release — it represents: Their creative freedom as producers A return to their hip-hop roots A concept-driven project that feels personal and raw For longtime STAYs, this feels like a callback to early SKZ energy — but evolved, sharper, and more confident.

Stray Kids I AM YOU [3rd Mini Album] — I Am Ver. & YOU Ver. STAYs, this is where the "I Am" trilogy reached its beautiful conclusion. 💙🌅 Stray Kids' I AM YOU dropped on October 22, 2018 — completing the journey that started with "I am NOT" and continued through "I am WHO." And honestly? The emotional payoff was everything. The message that "I found myself through you" hits different when you realize these 9 members were telling US, the fans, that we helped them discover who they are. Two versions to collect: I Am Ver. with that warm sunset cityscape, and YOU Ver. with the twilight blue aesthetic. Both are gorgeous, both have different photobook content, and yes, collectors typically need both because the visuals are just that good. 📸 Order your Stray Kids I AM YOU from Kpop Exchange — shipped from Denver with no customs fees. Complete your "I Am" trilogy the right way. Album Description: I AM YOU is Stray Kids' 3rd mini album, released on October 22, 2018 under JYP Entertainment. This album served as the concluding chapter of the iconic "I Am" trilogy — following I am NOT (March 2018) and I am WHO (August 2018) — forming a cohesive narrative arc centered on personal identity and finding yourself through connections with others. The title track "I am YOU" is a hip-hop genre song with a splendid yet lyrical feeling. Written and composed by 3RACHA (Bang Chan, Changbin, Han), it features guitar playing layered over strong trap beats. The message? "I got to know myself (I) thanks to you (YOU)" — a beautiful acknowledgment that we discover who we are through the people we connect with, including fans. The album also features the iconic "0325" — an experimental track that literally combines the intros from "I am NOT," "I am WHO," and "I am YOU." The title references March 25th, Stray Kids' official debut date. Other highlights include the emotional "Hero's Soup" (해장국) written about the members' fathers, and the fun, carefree "Get Cool." Fun fact: I AM YOU has sold over 370,000 copies and earned Platinum certification from Circle Chart (250,000+ units) in May 2022. The physical CD-only track "Mixtape#3" features an OT9 version of 3RACHA's "For You" — a hidden gem that completionists treasure. 🏆 ⚠️ Note: Original pressings of I AM YOU feature 9 members including Woojin, who departed the group in October 2019.

Q: What does I AM YOU mean? A: "I AM YOU" represents the conclusion of Stray Kids' identity-exploring "I Am" trilogy. The title conveys the message that "I found myself through you" — expressing that we discover who we are through our connections with others. The album explores how relationships help shape personal identity, with lyrics like "I know when I am with you, we can overcome anything." Q: What's the difference between I Am Ver. and YOU Ver.? A: The two versions differ in cover aesthetics and photobook content. I Am Ver. features warm sunset orange/brown tones, while YOU Ver. has a twilight blue evening aesthetic. Both versions share the same music and QR photocard pools, but contain different photobook photos. Q: How many photocards are in Stray Kids I AM YOU? A: Each I AM YOU album includes 3 QR photocards — one from each of three different pools: A ver. (random 1 of 9, size 70mm × 100mm), B ver. (random 1 of 36, size 55mm × 85mm), and C ver. (random 1 of 27, size 55mm × 85mm). That's 72 total unique photocard designs across the album! Q: What's included in Stray Kids I AM YOU? A: Each album includes: cover (180mm × 255mm), photobook with special page (random 1 of 9), CD-R, and 3 QR photocards (A ver: 1/9, B ver: 1/36, C ver: 1/27). Pre-order/first press editions also included a poster (1/2), postcard book (1/2), and photocard (1/9). Q: What songs are on Stray Kids I AM YOU? A: I AM YOU contains 8 tracks: "YOU." (intro), "I am YOU" (title), "편 (My Side)," "해장국 (Hero's Soup)," "Get Cool," "극과 극 (N/S)," "0325," and "Mixtape#3" (CD-only bonus track). All tracks were written and composed with involvement from 3RACHA. Q: When was Stray Kids I AM YOU released? A: Stray Kids I AM YOU was released on October 22, 2018. A showcase titled "Stray Kids Unveil: Op. 03: I am YOU" was held at Olympic Hall in Seoul on October 21, 2018, one day before the official release. Q: What is the "I Am" trilogy? A: The "I Am" trilogy is a series of three mini albums by Stray Kids released in 2018: I am NOT (March), I am WHO (August), and I am YOU (October). Together they form a cohesive narrative about self-discovery — from questioning identity, to searching for answers, to finding yourself through connections with others. Q: What is 0325 by Stray Kids? A: "0325" is track 7 on I AM YOU, named after March 25th — Stray Kids' official debut date. It's an experimental track that combines the intro songs from all three "I Am" albums ("NOT," "WHO," and "YOU") into one unique composition celebrating their journey. Q: Where can I buy Stray Kids I AM YOU in the USA? A: Kpop Exchange ships Stray Kids I AM YOU from our Denver, Colorado warehouse with fast domestic shipping and no customs fees for US customers.

I AM YOU introduced this innovative concept with three different QR photocard types (A, B, C) in varying sizes and designs. Q: What is Hero's Soup about? A: "Hero's Soup" (해장국) is an emotional hip-hop track where the members imagine their fathers eating haejangguk (Korean hangover soup). The song conveys the hope that the warm soup will comfort their hardworking fathers. It's known for its deeply personal lyrics about family. Q: Is Stray Kids I AM YOU still available? A: Yes! You can order Stray Kids I AM YOU in I Am Ver. or YOU Ver. from Kpop Exchange. Note that pre-order benefits (poster, postcard book, photocard) were limited to first press and may not be included in current printings. Q: Does I AM YOU feature all 9 members? A: Original pressings of I AM YOU feature 9 members including Woojin, who departed Stray Kids in October 2019. The album represents the group's lineup at the time of its 2018 release. Q: Which I AM YOU version should I buy? A: Choose I Am Ver. for warm sunset/orange aesthetics, or YOU Ver. for cool twilight blue vibes. Both versions contain the same music and share the same 72-card QR photocard pool, so collectors often buy both for the different photobook photos and to increase photocard collecting odds!

Stray Kids I Am NOT [1st Mini Album / Debut] — I Am Ver. & Not Ver. STAYs, THIS IS WHERE IT ALL BEGAN. 🔥 I Am NOT dropped on March 26, 2018 as Stray Kids' official debut album — and they came out SWINGING. "District 9" introduced the world to their signature hybrid sound mixing hip-hop, rock, and EDM, and the K-pop industry has never been the same since. Two versions to choose from: I Am Ver. (blue) and Not Ver. (red) — featuring a massive 124-page photobook and THREE different photocard sets (childhood, unit, AND selfie versions!). This was back when Billboard named Stray Kids #1 on their "Top 5 New K-Pop Artists to Watch in 2018" list. They really said "we are NOT like everyone else" and proceeded to prove it. 💪 Order your Stray Kids I Am NOT from Kpop Exchange — shipped from Denver with no customs drama. Start your SKZ collection from the VERY beginning. Album Description: I Am NOT is Stray Kids' 1st mini album and official debut, released on March 26, 2018 under JYP Entertainment. The group held their debut showcase "Stray Kids Unveil (Op. 01: I Am NOT)" at Jangchung Arena on March 25, 2018. This album marks the beginning of the "I Am" series, which explores themes of identity and self-discovery. Every single song on this album is SELF-COMPOSED. All 8 tracks were written and produced by the members themselves, with 3RACHA (Bang Chan, Changbin, Han) leading production. This was unprecedented for a debut album and immediately set Stray Kids apart as a "self-producing" idol group. The title track "District 9" represents Stray Kids' own musical hideout — a place where they break free from stereotypes and standardized frames to build their own unique world. The hybrid genre combines hip-hop, rock, and EDM with frenetic bass, sirens, aggressive raps, and powerful performances. The message? They're NOT going to fit into the existing system. Before debut, Stray Kids were already making waves: their pre-debut album "Mixtape" (January 2018) hit #1 on iTunes in 4 countries (Finland, Norway, Sweden, Philippines), and Billboard ranked them #1 on their "Top 5 New K-Pop Artists to Watch in 2018" list. The debut album peaked at #4 on the Gaon Chart and #5 on the Billboard World Albums Chart, selling over 54,000 copies in its first month. Fun fact: The group was formed through the 2017 Mnet reality show "Stray Kids," where leader Bang Chan personally selected each member — unusual in K-pop where agencies typically make those decisions!
