Stray Kids Ignite Comeback Hype with ‘CEREMONY’ Teaser
K-pop powerhouse Stray Kids just dropped the second music video teaser for their upcoming track ‘CEREMONY’, fueling anticipation ahead of their fourth full-length album ‘KARMA’, set to release on August 22.
The ‘KARMA SPORTS’ Games Begin
The group first teased the title track on August 15, and the second teaser, dropped on the 19th, ups the ante with electrifying visuals and futuristic flair. Opening with Hyunjin’s edgy hairstyle slashed with the Stray Kids logo, the video dives headfirst into the group’s signature fusion of rebellion and artistry.
From colorful outfits under bright stage lights to synchronized, hard-hitting choreo, every frame screams high energy. And yes, there’s even a buggy car racing scene on a neon-lit track—because Stray Kids don’t just drop comebacks, they launch them like blockbusters. The teaser ends with all members huddled, shouting “CEREMONY,” hyping fans for the drop like it’s the World Cup finals of K-pop.
A Soundtrack for a New Era
From what fans can hear, ‘CEREMONY’ promises high-octane production and fierce attitudes. With lyrics like “Yeah we gon’ celebrate ‘cause we got good Karma”, the track marks the beginning of what the band calls their ‘music league championship’ era.
Behind it all is 3RACHA—the in-house producing team made up of Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han—who once again took the reins on all 11 tracks. If that’s not enough to impress, it’s worth noting that this will be Stray Kids’ first full-length album in nearly two years.
Save the Date
‘KARMA’ and ‘CEREMONY’ officially drop on August 22 at 1 PM KST / 12 AM EST. With the group’s previous record-breaking streaks and global fame, expectations are sky-high—especially with STAYs already dubbing this comeback as “Stray Kids Olympics.”
So whether you’re here for the bangers or the buggy cars, one thing’s certain: Stray Kids are about to make karma work very hard in 2024.
