Stray Kids may be one of the most active K-pop groups in the industry as the group from JYP Entertainment keep Stays (their fans) busy with back-to-back releases. Six months after their official comeback with 'Noeasy' (stylized in all caps), that released in August 2021, the eight-member group announced their new mini-album, 'ODDINARY' (Oddinary) at the end of their second official fan meeting titled, ‘Stray Kids 2ND #LoveSTAY 'SKZ'S CHOCOLATE FACTORY’. They are giving their fans a speedy comeback indeed with their upcoming album releasing in March 2022. After all, they dropped their third compilation album, 'SKZ 2021' only a few months back in December 2021.

Stray Kids surprised fans by announcing the release of ‘Oddinary,’ which is typical of the sort of wordplay they are known for. The comeback album, by combining “odd” and “ordinary” in its name, promises to be extraordinary. Stray Kids are known to release albums and songs based on wordplay like ‘Hellevator’ — a combination of “hell” and “elevator” or 'Christmas EveL’ — a combination of “Christmas Eve” and “evil." ‘Their last full-length album 'Noeasy’ was a combination of “noisy” and “easy.” The album 'Oddinary' will be their eighth Korean EP that will be released in three different versions called the Frankenstein version, Scanning version, and the Mask Off version.
