Stray Kids have revealed dynamic concept photos for their highly anticipated fourth studio album, 'KARMA,' showcasing a powerful blend of energy and style.

The group is slated to launch into full-scale promotions with the release of 'KARMA' on August 22. Previously, their first teaser depicted the members relaxed yet confident in the stadium stands, embodying the image of global music league aces. In the newly unveiled second teaser, Stray Kids take the field head-on, exuding the charismatic presence of true headliners amid the cheers.

Released via official social media channels on the afternoon of August 8, the concept photos feature the group striking diverse poses in an arena-like setting. The unique atmosphere is further enhanced by vivid colored lighting and fisheye lens effects, offering a fresh and striking visual experience.

A particular highlight is their distinctive black-and-white styling, inspired by a modern reinterpretation of taekwondo uniforms. Drawing inspiration from Korea's signature sport within the 'KARMA SPORTS' universe—modeled after Olympic and World Cup motifs—the group's fashion, hair, and makeup all reflect their commitment to strong, concept-driven artistry.

'KARMA' marks the band's first full-length album in approximately two years and comes just eight months after Stray Kids achieved their sixth consecutive No.1 on the Billboard 200 main albums chart. It is also their first musical release following their largest world tour to date. The album contains a total of eleven tracks, including the title song 'CEREMONY,' produced by in-house unit 3RACHA—Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han.

Stray Kids’ new studio album 'KARMA' is scheduled for official release at 1:00 p.m. on August 22.
