Stray Kids lit up JTBC’s Newsroom on November 16 with their first-ever full-group appearance, turning a formal interview into a warm, funny, and utterly charming segment that had even the news anchor visibly swept away by their charisma. Dressed in sleek black suits, the members balanced professionalism with their trademark humor, showcasing exactly why STAYs adore them.

The group reflected on their groundbreaking accomplishment: their 4th full-length album KARMA earned them their 7th consecutive Billboard 200 #1, a first in the chart’s 70-year history. The album has proven its staying power as well, holding its position on the chart for 11 weeks.
Han shared heartfelt thoughts:
“We gave our bodies and hearts to this album. The result feels like a gift from STAYs.”
To commemorate this unprecedented achievement, producer J.Y. Park gifted the group a jaw-dropping present: 160 don (approx. 600g) of pure gold, crafted into custom commemorative plaques.
Seungmin said,
“It’s something we can display for life. A precious item.”
When the anchor joked about future records, the members laughed:
“We’ll ask him for one every time we break another record.”

When asked which member practices the hardest, the members decided to point simultaneously To Hyunjin.
Hyunjin stated: “I sweat a lot, so my effort looks intense. Even if we practice the same, people see me drenched and think, ‘He worked so hard.’”
I.N added that : “He really does work hard.”
👤 You’re known for being perfect on stage, both live and performance-wise. Among the members, is there anyone who practices the hardest?

Hyunjin spoke on balancing a world tour and continuous album promotions:
He admitted fatigue exists, but the desire to repay the love from STAY is stronger.
“We weren’t a group that succeeded instantly. We built our memories with STAY step by step… I don’t want those memories to collapse. Even when tired, we just Do It.”
Q. 월드 투어에 이어 연달아 앨범활동.. 지치진 않는지

사랑을 보답하고 싶은 마음도 크다고🥹
처음부터 잘 된 그룹이 아니라서 차근차근 쌓아온 스테이와 스키즈의 추억들이 무너지지 않았으면 하는 마음이 크고 그것 때문에라도 더 열심히 하고싶고, 조금 지치더라도 그냥 Do It 한다는데

“Thank you for treating us so well. It was an honor to appear together like this. Our new album SKZ IT TAPE ‘DO IT’ comes out November 21 with double titles ‘DO IT’ and ‘DIVINE’. Please look forward to it.”
