Member Felix shared his excitement in an interview with Billboard, describing the experience of collaborating with NSYNC as “memorable” and “perfect.” The group’s performance, which is said to be a tribute to the history of boy bands, becomes all the more exciting with the inclusion of the “Bye Bye Bye” singers.
Meanwhile, Stray Kids continue making moves outside South Korea. This year, they released their EP “ATE,” which contains the standout track “Chk Chk Boom” and a video with cameos by Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.
