Stray Kids now has 20 music videos with more than 100 million views on YouTube, the most among fourth-generation K-pop boy groups, according to JYP Entertainment. Previous titles to reach the mark include “God’s Menu,” “Back Door,” “MIROH,” “Hellevator,” “MANIAC,” “S-Class,” “LALALALA,” “Chk Chk Boom” and “MEGAVERSE,” among others.

“合 (HOP)” became Stray Kids’ sixth consecutive album to top the Billboard 200, the main U.S. albums chart. “Walkin On Water” uses the image of walking on water and navigating rough waves as a metaphor for the group’s confidence on stage.

Stray Kids is set to headline The Governors Ball Music Festival in New York on June 6 and Rock in Rio in Brazil on Sept. 11.
