STAYC’s Summer Return Is Turning Up the Heat
STAYC (Sumin, Sieun, Isa, Seeun, Yoon, J) has officially claimed Summer Queen status with a sizzling comeback that’s impossible to ignore. Starting on June 24, the group lit up stages on Mnet’s M Countdown, KBS2’s Music Bank, MBC’s Music Core, and SBS’s SUMMER Gayo Daejeon with their special single, “I WANT IT.”
‘I WANT IT’ Delivers Big Energy and Summer Vibes
On stage, STAYC perfectly captured the cool, confident mood of “I WANT IT,” bringing summery flair with sharp gestures and signature wave-filled choreography. Their moves weren’t just slick—they were addictive. And let’s not skip over the “hip move” that had fans (and fan cams) spinning.
Layered atop a bright, breezy instrumental, their balanced vocals added depth to the summer track, creating a soundscape that felt like a playlist-worthy beach day. Each performance carried the energy of a summer festival—some fans even called it “a three-minute vacation.”
Fashion and Choreo: A Perfect Visual Match
STAYC didn’t just dance—they styled the vibe into every spin. Their stage outfits, featuring scarf accents, lace, and frills, added playful chic to their performances and amplified the visual storytelling. STAYC showed how fashion and music can mesh into a full-on performance art piece.
SBS Stage Breaks and ‘I WANT IT’ Goes Viral
For SBS’s SUMMER Gayo Daejeon, the group upped the ante with an extended dance break that showcased power and precision. Their sync and confident flair showed just how tightly STAYC runs as a team. This wasn’t just another summer bop—it was a magnetic stage statement with STAYC’s branding stamped all over it.
The Message Behind the Music
Musically, “I WANT IT” is an electronic dance-pop track that fuses punchy synth riffs and rhythmic transitions. But beyond the beats, the lyrics pack a message: “Even my flaws are my strength.” With a soaring, shout-along chorus, the song’s now a staple on summer playlists and is riding high on the viral wave.
Bringing the Fun Off-Stage Too
Off the stage, STAYC’s showing they’re not just stage queens—they’re variety show naturals. Sieun, Isa, and Yoon hit YouTube channel ‘DdeunDdeun’ with a hilarious appearance on Mini Pinggyego, winning over hosts Yoo Jaesuk and Jo Seho with their charm and spontaneity. Proving their “funny girl” rep, the trio even got everyone up and dancing to “I WANT IT”—yes, it’s that catchy.
What’s Next for the Summer Queens?
With “I WANT IT” now stuck in everyone’s head and a string of standout performances under their belt, STAYC is set to keep the heat rising. Expect more music shows and global content as the group rides this high-energy summer wave.
