The comeback lands with the release of "THIS & THAT" and its title track of the same name. The eight-track mini album, the group's first since "SKZ IT TAPE 'DO IT'" extended its record to eight consecutive No. 1 debuts on the Billboard 200, was written and produced entirely by in-house production team 3RACHA, comprising members Bang Chan, Changbin and Han. Stray Kids will unveil two new short-form web drama episodes titled "This & That STAY Company's Secret" on Sunday, Tuesday and Saturday. The band will release its new EP "This & That" on Aug. 7 at 1 p.m.

Other gifts include a video series in which members introduce one another, behind-the-scenes footage from the group's sixth official fan event, "Stray Kids 6TH FANMEETING 'STAY in Our Little House,'" held in March and April, an episode of its self-produced series "SKZ LOG" and a mini livestream on Aug. 1.

Stray Kids launched its new world tour, "Stray Kids World Tour 'RUN IT,'" Friday at KSPO Dome in Seoul's Songpa District, the first of five sold-out shows spreading through Aug. 2. The band is also primed to become the first foreign male act to headline Tokyo's Japan National Stadium on Aug. 29 and 30.
