Seeing Stray Kids grow from teenaged rookies in 2017 to spearheadi­ng K-pop’s fourth generation in 2018 has been super impressive.

Stray Kids took K-pop to new heights, breaking norms with tracks like “God’s Menu,” “Miroh,” “Thunderous,” “Maniac” and “LALALALA.”

The group, which consists of eight members — Bang Chan, LeeKnow, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N. — redefined and defied a lot of K-pop convention­s. They are renowned for pushing the envelope, being fearless and giving incredible performanc­es.

With their hit song “District 9,” Stray Kids gained internatio­nal recognitio­n and stuck to their catchphras­e, “Stray Kids everywhere around the world.”

Fans will have the opportunit­y to immerse themselves in the ultimate Stray Kids experience at the Samsung Experience Store at SM Megamall, where the SLBS studio — a blend of tech and K-pop magic — has been installed.

Samsung’s collaborat­ion with the global sensation is a treat for STAYs, what Stray Kids fans are called, offering exclusive merch for Galaxy devices.

The Galaxy Z Flip5 Stray Kids Edition (P80,990) and Flip and Fold cases feature flipsuit cases that perfectly match the Galaxy Z Flip5’s Flex Window and flipsuit cards showcasing unique videos of each Stray Kids member.

Eco-conscious fans will appreciate the Eco-Friends line, including Stray Kids flip cases (P2,100) and Galaxy Fold5 cases (P2,100) made from recyclable materials. The massive 7.6-inch Main Screen of the Galaxy Fold5 is a perfect canvas for enjoying Stray Kids videos.

Fitness buffs and Stray Kids stans alike can upgrade their style with the Galaxy Watch6 Stray Kids Edition (P24,990). This sleek collection includes a fashionabl­e black and white strap, a leather pouch and a range of wellness features to support their fitness goals.
