While the full track and music video are set to drop on June 18, the teaser alone has already sparked widespread anticipation across global fan communities.

Stray Kids’ reputation for pushing boundaries through powerful performances and genre-bending music continues to grow, and “Hollow” seems poised to further cement that legacy.

The group has consistently proven their versatility, and with each Japanese release, they manage to tailor their distinctive sound to local audiences while maintaining their authentic voice and artistry.

This comeback also follows major social media milestones for Stray Kids. Most notably, the group recently surpassed 30 million followers on TikTok, making them the third most-followed K-pop act on the platform.

This achievement not only underscores their massive global influence but also highlights their ability to connect with fans across generations and borders through compelling content and consistent engagement.

With just days remaining until the official release of Hollow, excitement continues to build among fans who are eager to see the full scope of this new chapter.

Given Stray Kids’ proven track record of fusing deep concepts with jaw-dropping performances, “Hollow” is expected to be more than just a musical comeback—it will be a statement of artistic intent and emotional resonance, further expanding their footprint in the Japanese market.

As the countdown continues, Stray Kids are once again reminding the world why they remain one of the most dynamic and unpredictable forces in K-pop today.
