Stray Kids' deeply emotive B-side "Collision" (충돌) from their 2023 album 5-STAR - one of the best kpop albums, is experiencing a massive resurgence in South Korea, highlighting the timeless appeal of the group's self-produced tracks and the influence of their passionate fanbase, STAY.
The spark for this latest viral wave came from a dedicated Korean STAY running the account @bbockloversclub (a Stray Kids viral promotion fan account). In response to a request for underrated boy group song recommendations, the user posted about "Collision" in a now-iconic format: starting with the lyrics "내가 그렇게 미워졌니" (Am I that hateful to you?), praising its emotional depth, and crediting member Han Jisung as the sole writer and composer.
This simple, heartfelt recommendation exploded organically, amassing hundreds of thousands of views and inspiring countless shares, Instagram Reels, and forum discussions. Non-fans began discovering the song, with many expressing awe at Stray Kids' musical versatility beyond title tracks. One popular Reel alone garnered over 1 million views.
Members of the group also subtly nodded to the viral trend, showing they're fully aware and supportive. Hyunjin, Han, and I.N all used "Collision" as background music in their recent personal Instagram posts and stories, delighting fans and further fueling the buzz.
JYP Entertainment and Stray Kids quickly embraced the momentum. On December 15, the official @Stray_Kids account posted a promotion in the exact same format as @bbockloversclub's original recommendation, featuring a special acoustic cover by Han himself:
