The story of Stray Kids entering the K-pop scene goes back to 2018 when the boy band had released their pre-debut extended play (EP) Mixtape in January. However, they officially debuted in March with the EP ‘I Am Not’, followed by other two ‘I Am’ series EPs, ‘I Am Who’ and ‘I Am You’.
Their Clé trilogy EPs were issued in 2019, consisting of Clé 1: Miroh, Clé 2: Yellow Wood, and Clé: Levanter.
When it comes to the group’s first studio album, in 2020, they released their album ‘Go Live’ which became their first platinum-certified album by Korea Music Content Association (KMCA). Interestingly, that same year, the boy band even made their Japanese debut with the compilation album SKZ2020 through Epic Records Japan.
