K-pop boy band Stray Kids will release a digital album, "SKZ-REPLAY 2026 Pt.1," on Aug. 1 as part of a weeklong series of fan-focused content ahead of the group's new mini album, "THIS & THAT," which is scheduled for release on Aug. 7.

JYP Entertainment, the group's label, described the digital album as a gift conveying gratitude and sincerity to fans. The album is set to arrive at midnight on Aug. 1, marking the eighth anniversary of Stray Kids' official fandom, STAY. The tracklist and cover image are scheduled to be revealed Monday.

The digital release is a centerpiece of "2026 STAYweeK," a seven-day celebration that began Saturday and runs through Aug. 1. Stray Kids posted a timetable on its official social media channels at midnight Saturday, outlining daily content prepared for fans.

The fan-week rollout gives the group a dedicated bridge between its fandom anniversary and the Aug. 7 comeback, combining music, video content, in-person events and livestreaming around a fixed promotional calendar.

The program includes the group's first short-form drama series, built around the concept of a fictional company operated together with fans. Two episodes are being released on each of three dates: Saturday, Monday and Aug. 1.

A pop-up cafe celebrating the fandom's birthday also opened Saturday in Seongdong District, Seoul. The cafe, named after the group's March digital single "Stay," is available to official fan club members and will operate through Aug. 2.

Additional STAYweeK content includes a video series in which the members introduce one another, behind-the-scenes footage from the group's sixth official fan event, "Stray Kids 6TH FANMEETING 'STAY in Our Little House,'" which was held in March and April, an episode of the group's self-produced series "SKZ LOG" and a mini livestream scheduled for Aug. 1.

Stray Kids' comeback is set for Aug. 7 at 1 p.m., when the group will release "THIS & THAT" and its title track of the same name. The eight-track mini album is the group's first since "SKZ IT TAPE 'DO IT,'" which extended Stray Kids' record to eight consecutive No. 1 debuts on the Billboard 200.

"THIS & THAT" was written and produced entirely by the group's in-house production team 3RACHA, made up of members Bang Chan, Changbin and Han. That production setup has remained a defining part of Stray Kids' releases, with members directly credited on the group's new title track and mini album.

Stray Kids also began its new world tour, "Stray Kids World Tour 'RUN IT,'" on Friday at KSPO Dome in Seoul's Songpa District. The Seoul opening marks the first of five sold-out concerts running through Aug. 2.

The group is also scheduled to become the first foreign male act to headline Tokyo's Japan National Stadium, with performances set for Aug. 29 and 30.
