K-pop group Stray Kids has officially unveiled their highly anticipated fourth studio album, Karma, during a press conference held on August 22, 2025, at the Conrad Seoul Hotel in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul.

Karma features 11 tracks, including the lead single Ceremony. The album is set in the futuristic year 2081 and revolves around a global competition called “Karma Sports,” reminiscent of the Olympics or World Cup. Each member takes on the role of a past champion from 2074 to 2080, with outfits and visuals designed to match the theme. The album explores ideas of perseverance, destiny, and the cycle of success and failure.

Among the tracks, there is Bicheri, a high-energy song reflecting the group’s journey, CREED, an anthem of determination, Mess, a raw and emotional track, In My Head, which dives into personal thoughts, and Phoenix, symbolizing rebirth and resilience. The album also includes special versions of Ceremony, including a festival version and an English version for international fans.

To celebrate the release, Stray Kids launched 16 different versions of Karma, including limited editions and vinyls. Each edition comes with exclusive packaging, collectible photo cards, and unique merchandise. Vinyl versions include Graphite, Crystal Clear, and Clear Vinyl, offering fans both a visual and auditory experience.

The group has also planned several promotional events. A pop-up store in Seoul’s Lotte World Mall and Lotte Cinema World Tower will run from August 23 to September 3. Additionally, the “Staydium” exhibition, in collaboration with Spotify, will tour Seoul, Jakarta, and Tokyo.

During the press event, Stray Kids thanked their fans, known as “Stay,” for their continued support and shared insights into the creative process behind Karma.
