Announcement
Stray Kids announced via official social media that they will release the single “RUN IT” on 24 June 2026 at 13:00 KST, followed by the eight-track album THIS & THAT on 7 August 2026. The post confirmed a “RUN IT” world tour, dates undisclosed. A 51-second teaser shows the members in black-and-white outfits performing in industrial and desert settings, establishing a darker visual tone. The teaser’s stripped-down palette includes warehouse sets and desert shots, reinforcing the colder mood.
Background
The November 21 2025 mixtape Do It sold 1.49 million copies on day one, 2.21 million in the first week, and moved 295,000 album-equivalent units, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. In June 2026, Stray Kids became the first K-pop act to headline New York’s Governors Ball. Their 2025 Dominate World Tour sold 1.3 million tickets, grossing $185.9 million worldwide. The concert film Stray Kids: The dominATE Experience, directed by Paul Dugdale, opened on 6 February 2026, ranking No. 1 globally with $19 million box-office and footage from sold-out SoFi Stadium shows.
Data
- Upcoming releases: “RUN IT” single (24 June 2026, 13:00 KST) and eight-track album “THIS & THAT” (7 August 2026); Dominate World Tour (2025) sold 1.3 million tickets, grossed $185.9 million worldwide, including $76.2 million in North America.

Official Statements
Stray Kids’ management, representing JYP Entertainment and Republic Records, confirmed the release schedule and tour plans in a social-media post, stating the group aims to “bring a new era of sound and performance to fans worldwide.” No further comment.
Impact
The rollout highlights Stray Kids’ expanding commercial footprint beyond South Korea. Record-breaking tour revenues and the IMAX film’s unprecedented earnings show the ability to generate high-value live-event and multimedia revenue, reinforcing JYP Entertainment’s strategy of integrating music releases with global touring and film distribution. The 2025 Dominate World Tour set regional records across Latin America, North America, and Europe, underscoring the group’s global draw.
Conflicting Reports
The IMAX opening figures contain an inconsistency: the source cites a $9 million total opening while also reporting $5.7 million domestic and $14 million abroad, which sum to $19.7 million. It does not clarify whether the $9 million figure represents net revenue, gross earnings, or a specific market segment.
What's Next
Fans can expect the “RUN IT” single on 24 June, the “THIS & THAT” album on 7 August, and a forthcoming announcement of tour dates. The concert film will continue its IMAX run, and industry analysts will monitor subsequent ticket sales and streaming metrics to gauge the group’s sustained market impact.
