Re-discovering Kpop - Stray Kids

Years ago when I was studying Japanese at university, I was a massive man of the Kpop group BigBang. I was lucky enough to see them in concert at the YG family concert in Japan during 2011, and had a collection of CD’s and merch. After moving back to Australia I sort of fell off following them. They entered their military service and weren’t very active for a long time (and then suffered some scandals) and I just never really got back into them. I do still occasionally google T.O.P just to see what he’s up to though, because as my first ever bias he has a special place in my heart.

Earlier this year however I went and stayed at a friends place, and they were watching the live-streamed Kobe concert of Stray Kids. Since it was on I decided to watch too, and I was completely blown away. I’ve completely fallen in love with their music, and them as people. Its so rare for me to find an artist where I like their ENTIRE discography, rather than just a few bangers here and there.

I have such eclectic taste in music that the diversity in Stray Kids’ music really scratches an itch in my brain. The more I learn about them the more impressed I am. They are all amazing singers, dancers and rappers, and they are a self producing group. In order to share my admiration of them with lots of other new fans, I made an infographic as a beginners guide to Stray Kids.

May it help you on your journey to learning about this amazingly talented group of performers and creators.

Stray Kids everywhere all around the world, you make stray kids STAY
