Stray Kids’ This & That Update: What the Video Confirms—and What the Report Adds

Start with the official release object

JYP Entertainment’s official upload gives you the firmest starting point: it identifies Stray Kids and the “This & That” music video, and its description directs listeners to THIS & THAT on music services. The page was published Aug. 7. Those details establish a public artist release without requiring an interpretation of the video’s scenes, styling, or choreography.

That boundary matters. A music video can prove that the official audiovisual work exists, but its imagery does not automatically establish the number of tracks, writing credits, tour timing, or future promotion plans. Those claims need another record. Treating the video as one evidence layer keeps the artist update specific and prevents visual impressions from turning into unsupported facts.

Use the report for album scope

The Korea Times supplies the details that the video page does not. Its Aug. 5 release calendar says Stray Kids would return Friday with the mini album THIS THAT, their first release since DO IT. It reports eight tracks, including the self-titled lead single, and says all eight were written by the group’s in-house production trio 3RACHA.

This is the useful division of labor: JYP is the primary publisher for the official video, while the Korean news report independently describes the album package. The report also gives comparative industry context, but this update does not need to repeat its broader August roundup. Keeping the focus on Stray Kids avoids turning one artist’s release into a generic calendar summary.

The Seoul connection is context, not the headline

The Korea Times reports that the album arrived while a new world tour was underway and that the tour had begun in Seoul in late July. That is the domestic anchor for this release update: the new music entered the public timeline during a performance cycle that started in Korea.

The Korea Herald’s tour announcement adds the specific dates behind that framing: the “Run It” world tour opened with five sold-out shows at Seoul’s KSPO Dome on July 25, 26, and 29, and Aug. 1 and 2—immediately before the mini album’s Aug. 7 release. That sequence is why the album is described as arriving mid-tour rather than as a stand-alone comeback.

It does not turn this page into a tour guide. The approved records do not provide a complete itinerary, ticket instructions, venue operations, or a schedule-change notice. If you need those details, wait for a newer official tour record. Here, Seoul explains where the release sits in the group’s current domestic-to-global sequence; it does not authorize guesses about the next show.

What to verify in the next update

Keep three questions separate when another Stray Kids notice appears. First, is it an official music object such as a track, video, or album page? Second, does independent reporting add a fact about scope, credits, or timing? Third, is a domestic schedule detail actually new, or is an older Seoul reference being repeated as background?

For this snapshot, the answer is bounded: “This & That” is the official title-track video; THIS THAT is reported as an eight-track mini album written across all tracks by 3RACHA; and the album arrived during a tour cycle reported to have started in Seoul. A later appearance, promotion, or itinerary change needs its own dated source.
