JYP Entertainment's chief producer Park Jin-young gifted Stray Kids 160 don of gold. This gift commemorates the new record set when Stray Kids' 4th full album "KARMA" topped the Billboard 200 chart on September 6. Stray Kids revealed a gold-made frame on their official SNS with the message, "Thank you, PD-nim." The members took commemorative photos holding the frame with bright smiles, and Park Jin-young also joined them, creating a celebratory atmosphere.

With this record, Stray Kids became the first artist to achieve seven consecutive No. 1 albums on the Billboard main album chart, from 2022's "ODDINARY" to "KARMA." This is an unprecedented achievement for a K-pop artist and is regarded as proof of Stray Kids' global popularity.

The frames prepared by Park Jin-young total eight, one for each member, each made of 75g (20 don) of pure gold. The total amounts to 160 don, which, based on recent gold prices, exceeds 100 million KRW. International gold prices continue to hit record highs, making Stray Kids' pure gold frames symbolic and valuable for the future.

Park Jin-young was recently appointed co-chairman (ministerial level) of the Presidential Committee on Popular Culture and Arts Exchange. He expressed, "Taking on government work is burdensome in many ways, but I decided with the thought that we must make the most of the special opportunity K-pop is facing now." His remarks have drawn attention in the context of emphasizing the global growth of K-pop and the importance of cultural exchange.

Since their debut in 2018, Stray Kids have rapidly grown and gained great popularity both domestically and internationally. Their music spans various genres, forming a unique performance style and a strong fandom. The "KARMA" album is regarded as an important work showcasing their musical evolution.
