The group Stray Kids has transformed into 'Sculptors,' teasing a new narrative ahead of the recruitment for the 6th generation of their official fan club, 'STAY.'

On the 20th, Stray Kids released the 'STAY 6th Gen Welcome Video' through their official channels. The video garnered global attention by presenting a unique worldview where the members create their own wings, going beyond a simple recruitment announcement.

In the video, Stray Kids appeared against the backdrop of a mysterious atelier. The members introduced themselves, stating, "We have become sculptors and are in the process of carving wings for SKZ and STAY," revealing that the core concept of this 6th-generation recruitment is the 'Sculptor.'

This concept particularly draws attention for its narrative emphasizing 'agency.' Member Felix began by mentioning, "Unfortunately, we are in a situation where we have lost our wings," but explained that instead of despairing, they are "making the coolest wings in the world with our own hands." This is interpreted as their determination to soar higher not with wings granted by someone else, but with wings crafted through the sweat and effort of Stray Kids and their fans together.

Changbin hinted that this setting is connected to a line from their lyrics, "Now leave the earth and ascend to the sky," raising expectations for their activities in 2026 with these newly born wings (STAY 6th Gen).

At the end of the video, the members reminisced about 2025 and expressed their deep affection for their fans. Hyunjin delighted fans with a witty coined phrase, "6-rang-hae (Yuk-rang-hae)," combining the number 6, symbolizing the 6th generation, with "Saranghae" (I love you).

Meanwhile, details regarding the recruitment period and information for 'STAY 6th Gen,' led by the sculptor-transformed Stray Kids, can be found on official ticketing sites and fan community notices.
