i'm making some adjustable bracelet freebies for the run it tour in theaters! my theater is pretty close to sold out, but i don't know how many to make of each member. any leftovers i'll save for future events, but i'm just not sure if there are members i should make more or less of than others!!

i know at a local kpop shop that felix and chan photocards are almost always sold out, so i was thinking of making a couple extras of them compared to the others... any suggestions?

(thinking of making some generic ones too - should i make them say "stray kids" or "run it"? or maybe alternate those too?)

I've been in a little bit of a creative stump, but Hyunjin is literally a work of art in this photo shoot (and in general tbh) and he broke my slump.

Hope you like it 🫶🏻

It may be a bit early to mention, but the end of the year is approaching. Other than the Japanese mini-album and This & That, it looks like there won't be any other official releases this year. There's a chance that SKZ Replay 2026 Pt.2 could drop by the year's end, or it might get delayed until next year.

What are your hopes for next year (2027)?

Personally, I’m thinking we could see a full Korean album along with a full Japanese album, with SKZ Replay pt.2 being released in 2027 if delayed.

Alternatively, it could be that we get just one Korean album, succeeded by either a sub-unit release or a member's solo debut by the year's end.

Or perhaps Lee Know will debut in the first half of the year, followed by an OT8 Korean release (either a mini or full album) by mid-2027, with no Japanese release occurring for the first time since their Japan debut in 2020.

Another possibility could be a Korean release in the summer of 2027, after which Lee Know's solo debut would take place, along with a Japanese single album or EP before enlistment.

I doubt they will issue two Korean releases (an EP and another EP or a full album along with an EP) as they have in past years, especially since we only had one formal Korean release this year, while other groups are managing three EP comebacks this year alone. On the contrary, they might opt for an EP or studio album combined with a physical single release prior to enlistment.

I became a Stay in 2020 when a friend sent me the God's Menu MV. I.N immediately caught my eye. I can even reference my first ever comment on this sub where I declared him as my bias "because he's an adorable (+savage) maknae." That comment was on the 25K subscribers post which is how I can remember and find it. I.N continues to be our Maknae On Top. That SKZ-PLAYER currently sits at 65M views which makes my I.N biased heart very happy 💗

His smile?

Makes me kick my feet!

But when he's in model mode?

I forget how to breathe.

I.N's voice is so unique that as much as he immediately caught my eye for his visuals, I also clocked his voice for being unlike any I had heard before (or since) and so beautiful. I have no musical background so I can't speak in technical terms whatsoever. Nor do I feel the need to, I just find it unique and wonderful and enjoy listening to it. When we got his Hallucination solo?

My life as a Stay is defined as before Hallucination and as after Hallucination 🫠

I see more and more Stay losing their minds over singing the praises of I.N and I am here for it. I see I.N radiate confidence and it makes me feel like a proud hyung. My flair, I CAN SPEAK KOREAN, happens to perfectly match my username and is an I.N moment that still makes me smile. And oh my, how much our maknae has grown since then!

One last I.N picture I want to include because why not, which also happens to be my current profile pic, and the one I submitted for his day in our game: Picture Perfect: I.N

What do you love about I.N? ❤️
