이런 성과를 인정받아 스트레이 키즈는 제40회 일본 골드 디스크 대상에서 '올해의 아티스트', '올해의 앨범', '올해의 뮤직비디오', '베스트 3 앨범 (아시아)' 등 4관왕을 차지하며 해외 가수 중 최다 수상의 영예를 안기도 했다.
이렇듯 2018년 데뷔부터 8년간 하루도 쉬지 않고 열정적으로 달려온 끝에 '최정상 K팝 아이돌'이라는 수식어를 꿰찬 스트레이 키즈. 하지만 이제 시작에 불과하다. 짧은 휴식 뒤 3월부터 전개되는 '런 잇'의 2막으로 또 한 번 스테이와 뜨거운 추억을 남길 예정이기 때문. 추가된 일정만 23개 지역, 25회 공연에 달한다. '런 잇'이라는 공연명처럼 다시 한번 달려나갈 스트레이 키즈가 이번엔 어떤 기록들과 함께 금의환향할지, 내년 여름이 벌써부터 기대된다.
[ENG] Stray Kids Ready to 'RUN IT' Again
Stray Kids recently secured first place with 62.5% of the votes in the "Global Comeback Promo: November" poll, which was designed to select the most anticipated artist making a comeback in November.
The result directly reflects the high anticipation of local fans for Stray Kids, who are releasing a new album in Japan for the first time in about a year and five months.
Putting the long wait behind them, Stray Kids' upcoming release is titled "SUIATSU." A Japanese word meaning "water pressure," the album features a total of seven tracks centered around the title track of the same name. Proving once again their reputation as a self-producing group, 3RACHA (Bang Chan, Changbin, Han) are credited with writing, composing, and arranging the music.
The title track is already generating massive buzz. The group pre-revealed the stage during their Tokyo Dome concerts on the "RUN IT" world tour, drawing rave reviews from fans who commented that "This song is too good to only be in Japanese."
In fact, Stray Kids' popularity in Japan is second to none among K-pop groups. Not only did they connect with a total of 520,000 fans (officially known as STAY) during their Japanese tour, but they also astonished the world by achieving the remarkable feat of selling out three consecutive Tokyo Dome concerts.
Their album sales and streaming achievements are equally noteworthy. They hold three Platinum-certified songs from the Recording Industry Association of Japan—"MANIAC," "CASE 143," and "S-Class"—and their previous release, "Hollow," set a new record for fourth-generation groups by selling 730,000 copies in its first week.
In recognition of these accomplishments, Stray Kids won four awards at the 40th Japan Gold Disc Awards—"Artist of the Year," "Album of the Year," "Music Video of the Year," and "Best 3 Albums (Asia)"—earning the honor of being the most-awarded international artist at the ceremony.
Eight years into their career since debuting in 2018, Stray Kids have solidified their status as top-tier K-pop idols—yet this is only the beginning. After a short break, they will launch the second act of "RUN IT" in March with 25 newly added shows across 23 regions, building high anticipation for the new milestones they will set by next summer.

[JPN] Stray Kids、再び「RUN IT」する準備は完了
Stray Kidsは最近、11月にカムバックする最も期待されるアーティストを選ぶ投票「Global Comeback Promo: November」で62.5%の票を獲得し、1位に輝いた。
この結果は、約1年5ヶ月ぶりに日本でニューアルバムをリリースするStray Kidsに対する現地ファンの高い期待をそのまま反映している。
長い待ち時間を経て発売されるStray Kidsの新譜タイトルは「SUIATSU」だ。「水圧」を意味する日本語で、同名のタイトル曲を中心に全7曲で構成されている。自主制作グループとしての定評を改めて証明するかのように、3RACHA（バンチャン、チャンビン、ハン）が作詞・作曲・編曲のクレジットに名を連ねている。
タイトル曲はすでに大きな話題を呼んでいる。ワールドツアー「RUN IT」の東京ドーム公演でステージを先行公開すると、ファンからは「日本語だけで聴くのがもったいないほど良い曲」といった絶賛の声が相次いだ。
実際、日本国内におけるStray Kidsの人気はK-POPグループの中でも群を抜いている。日本ツアーを通じて計52万人のファン（公式ファンダム名：STAY）と触れ合っただけでなく、東京ドーム3公演連続完売という快挙を成し遂げ、世界中を驚かせた。
アルバム売上やストリーミングの成果も目覚ましい。日本レコード協会のプラチナ認定曲を「MANIAC」「CASE 143」「S-Class（特）」の3曲保有しており、前作「Hollow」は発売初週に73万枚の売上を記録し、第4世代グループの最高記録を塗り替えた。
