Stray Kids Reveal Comeback Schedule for Their Fourth Full Album ‘KARMA’
Stray Kids are gearing up for their long-awaited comeback — and now fans know exactly what to expect. On July 25 at 11 PM KST, the group dropped the full promotional schedule for their fourth full-length album ‘KARMA’, their first full album in more than two years.
The schedule confirms a packed August, with teaser content rolling out steadily until the big drop on August 22 at 1 PM KST (12 AM ET). That includes new trailers, a full tracklist reveal, and multiple album previews to keep fans counting down the days.
This announcement came through their official social media and follows the buzz around their latest cinematic trailer. That video introduced a whole new universe called “2081 KARMA SPORTS” — a dystopian future setting where each Stray Kids member appears as a champion athlete across different years from 2074 to 2080. The project hints at a blend of sci-fi, sport, and survival, laying the groundwork for a complex storyline.
The visual elements don’t just look cool — they’re central to how Stray Kids tell stories. The group continues to blend music with heavy world-building and ambitious visuals, creating an immersive experience with each comeback. The trailer even introduced the mysterious “KARMA coin,” which seems to symbolize fate, risk, and reward.
‘KARMA’ marks their first full-length release since ★★★★★ (5-STAR) in June 2023. It also follows their massively successful mini album ATE and the Stray Kids World Tour ‘dominATE’, which hit 34 cities with 54 shows — 38 of those held in stadiums.
Expectations are high. Stray Kids have already set a record with six consecutive No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, something no other K-pop act has ever done in the chart’s 69-year history. ‘KARMA’ is expected to keep that streak going while raising the stakes even further.
From the intense storyline to their trademark bold sound, this comeback looks set to bring high-energy thrills — a direct hit of adrenaline for fans looking to break free from routine. The countdown has officially begun.
Keep an eye out — the ‘KARMA’ era is only just getting started.
