Cut From Debut, Then Nine No.1s: The Stray Kids Story #StrayKids #kpop

August 2026. Stray Kids' mini album THIS & THAT entered the Billboard 200 at number one — their ninth album on the chart, and their ninth number one. It was a first in seventy years of Billboard history. Eight years earlier, their debut showcase was in a 3,500-seat arena, and on the survival show that decided their debut, two members were cut. A boy from Sydney, a live finale that brought the eliminated two back, District 9, MANIAC, a first-ever Billboard 200 entry that went straight to number one, stadiums in Incheon and Tokyo, and the first K-pop headline set at Rock in Rio. This is the story of the lost kids who made their own road. 0:00 Prologue 1:05 The Lost Kids (2010–2017) 2:42 District 9 (2018) 3:46 Through the Maze (2019–2020) 5:09 Thunderous (2021) 6:06 Billboard's Door (2022–2023) 8:04 Eating Up the World (2024–2025) 10:06 RUN IT (2026) 🎬 Video sources: Stray Kids · JYP Entertainment · Mnet K-POP · KBS Kpop · MBCkpop · KBS WORLD TV · SBSKPOP X INKIGAYO · M2 (official YouTube channels) 📌 Based on public news reports, broadcasts and interviews.
