3RACHA's Han-Penned Track Teased by SKZ's Seungmin

Stray Kids are pulling back the curtain on their next EP, one track at a time. Vocalist Seungmin became the latest member to step forward, delivering a short preview of a new song called "Back Then"

The group's eighth mini album, "THIS & THAT," arrives at 1 p.m. KST on the 7th. Ahead of the release, Stray Kids have been rolling out teaser content in stages. On the 3rd, they dropped a new installment of their signature "UNVEIL : TRACK" series, offering the first taste of "Back Then" the seventh song on the record.

In the clip, Seungmin sings over the sound of rain and a soft acoustic guitar. "The day we laughed together, the day we only looked at each other with a movie playing in the background, that day," he sings, his voice quiet and warm. The mellow arrangement and his emotional delivery hint at a stripped-back ballad.

"Back Then" was written and composed entirely by HAN, a member of the group's in-house producing team 3RACHA. The EP carries eight tracks in total, including the title song "This & That," pre-release "RUN IT," "After You," "FARMING," "I Do," "Way Out," "This & That (Festival Version)" and "Back Then"

The mini album is not the group's only recent move. On the 1st, Stray Kids released a digital album titled "SKZ-REPLAY 2026 Pt.1." It gathers 17 tracks, among them a Korean-language version of "Battle Ground," the title song of their first Japanese studio album "THE SOUND," plus previously unreleased self-written songs and solo tracks from individual members.

The group also just wrapped a five-night run of their world tour "<RUN IT>" at KSPO DOME in Seoul's Songpa district. The shows took place on the 25th and 26th and the 29th of last month, followed by the 1st and 2nd of this month.

"THIS & THAT" and its title track "This & That" arrive on major streaming platforms at 1 p.m. KST on the 7th.
