Stray Kids 'Christmas EveL': Release date, concept and all about the festive song
Stray Kids are here to stay! The boys are back with ‘Christmas EveL’, a holiday special just for fans. Stays (Stray Kids’ fandom) have been fed quite well these past few months from a K-pop comeback to a Japanese single. Their latest album, ‘NOEASY’ was a commercial success as it topped charts, earned them their first #1 on a Billboard chart, made YouTube history with the music video of the title track ‘Thunderous’, and earned them their first million-seller award certification.
And to show their gratitude to fans who helped with these achievements, Stray Kids are back again with 'Christmas EveL'. The boy group quite recently released their latest Japanese single ‘Scars’ in early October. It charted high on major Japanese charts by ranking #2 on Japan Oricon Singles Chart and Billboard Japan Hot 100. The boys are also busy with their ongoing variety show on YouTube ‘SKZ Code’ which is why fans were pleasantly surprised that Stray Kids had time for another comeback. Here’s everything we know so far about ‘Christmas EveL’.
