Stray Kids is back with more on their upcoming 4th album KARMA – but details are causing a stir.
On July 30 at midnight KST, the JYP Entertainment boy group dropped fresh info on the album. The announcement came with a new concept photo showing the boys in a dark, intense vibe.
Fans are buzzing over the bold direction and the album’s theme, which hints at “karma” catching up. The group’s visuals and teaser sparked hot debates online about the shift in their style, with some loving it and others questioning the change.
The controversy began as fans dissected every detail of the photo and the teaser trailer, trying to guess what kind of message Stray Kids are sending with KARMA. Some worry the new image is too heavy, while others say it fits perfectly with their growth.
Soon after, the fandom split, making KARMA one of the most talked-about upcoming releases in K-pop this summer.
The group’s agency has yet to comment on the mixed reactions.
