​STAYs play a crucial role in supporting Stray Kids. Participating in an album comeback demonstrates solidarity and enthusiasm for their work, fostering a sense of connection and community among Stray Kids and STAYs. We can help Stray Kids have a significant impact on the success of each comeback through social media engagement, word-of-mouth promotion, purchasing or downloading the album, streaming on music platforms or attending concerts and fan events. We can help generate buzz and excitement surrounding the release, potentially reaching new audiences and increasing the album's visibility. Stray Kids often value feedback from STAYs, as it provides insight into how their music is received and appreciated. Another form of feedback is how well the album does on charts, music shows, and more. It's also a way for us to celebrate and show appreciation for Stray Kids' talent and dedication to their craft.
