Stray Kids are turning heads once again—this time by stepping directly into the world of Korean folklore. The group unveiled the music video teaser for their upcoming title track“신선놀음 (DIVINE)”, transforming into modern reinterpretations of Jeon Woo-chi, the iconic trickster hero from classic Korean literature.
In the latest teaser, Stray Kids take on the role of sinseon, or Korean mountain spirits, leading a troop of goblins in a dynamic, mischievous celebration inspired by Jeon Uchi-jeon.
The visuals blend classical Korean art styles with contemporary flair:
Ink-wash animation reminiscent of traditional paintings
Modern reinterpretations of Ilwolobongdo (the Sun, Moon and Five Peaks screen)
Tiger-inspired folk art motifs integrated into props and sets
These elements create a powerful visual spectacle, giving the teaser the feeling of a mythic painting bursting to life. Combined with dark-hero aesthetics and dynamic special effects, the teaser amplifies the unique cultural atmosphere the group is known for embracing.
DIVINE is described as a boom-bap–based hip-hop track featuring a sharp contrast between a melodic topline and intense chanting sections. The song captures Stray Kids’ signature energy while delivering the theme of breaking free from societal norms and living boldly—just like gods enjoying a carefree revelry.
Stay tuned for the album's release on November 21 at 2 PM KST (12 AM EST) whilethe MV for DIVINE will drop on November 27 at 11 PM KST!
