Stray Kids 『Hollow』 Music Video

Released to mark the milestone of their 5th anniversary since debuting in Japan, this is the title track of Stray Kids’ first mini-album consisting entirely of original Japanese-language songs.

The title cleverly plays on the English “void” and the Korean word for “alone,” and the lyrics about the loneliness behind success resonate deeply.

Shifting from a wistful piano melody to an explosively powerful synth sound, it’s quintessential SKZ.

The J-pop-like accessibility and their signature edgy sound are seamlessly fused.

Their expressive portrayal of the emptiness behind the glamour reveals a new depth to them as artists.

The MV’s metaphors are superb as well, making this a masterpiece that also delivers a strong sense of storytelling.
