‘Rock-Star’ promises a musical experience deeply rooted in emotion and talent, evident in collaborative efforts such as ‘가려줘 (Cover Me),’ co-written and co-composed by Bang Chan and Hyunjin, along with contributions from talented individuals like Willie Weeks and Millionboy.
The EP’s announcement was accompanied by a captivating ‘Prologue’ clip, immersing viewers in the anticipation of a child preparing to perform on stage as a trumpet player. Rappers Felix and Bang Chan lent their voices to the video, offering contrasting yet complementary perspectives on overcoming anxiety and embracing the moment. As the young performers step onto the stage, the atmosphere ignites with energy, perfectly setting the stage for what fans can expect from ‘Rock-Star.’
This EP comes five months after the group’s highly acclaimed full-length album, ‘5-Star,’ which secured Stray Kids their third consecutive Number One on the Billboard 200 chart in June. Despite a recent minor setback due to a car accident involving members Lee Know, Hyunjin, and Seungmin, the group has persevered and is ready to mesmerize fans once again.
