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.

In 2023, Stray Kids grew bigger in scale year by year, even setting a new all-time K-POP record for album sales with “★★★★★ (5-STAR).” This is the title track from their first Japanese EP released in August of the same year.

While the melody—especially the chorus—has a sense of affinity with J-POP, the foundation of the song is, of course, built by the three members of 3RACHA.

The harmony with LiSA’s rock style feels like it will bring a fresh new breeze.

Bang Chan himself has said he drew courage from LiSA’s songs, which makes this an especially fiery collaboration.

It’s an energetic, cool track that gives you the power to seize the future!

A powerful beat underpins an addictive melody, as if boldly proclaiming that all their past efforts have finally borne fruit.

Considering the overwhelming energy this song radiates, it’s no surprise the album soared to No.

1 on the Billboard 200.

It’s the perfect number for sharing the exhilaration of achievement or giving yourself a powerful boost.
