Stray Kids’ Felix has once again proven his irresistible charm by unveiling a teaser for their upcoming album ‘合 (HOP)’. This teaser, which has been creating a buzz among fans, displays Felix’s distinctive artistic flair, leaving a lasting impression.
With their new album SKZHOP HIPTAPE ‘合 (HOP)’ and its title track ‘Walkin On Water’ set to release on December 13, Stray Kids has been gradually revealing teaser content on their official SNS channels.

The teaser combines surreal atmospheres with artistic direction, delivering an art film-like vibe. Scenes of Felix alone in a dimly lit space or walking through a dense forest evoke a sense of solitude, while his depiction of floating underwater adds to the visual allure.
