Stray Kids (often abbreviated to SKZ; Korean: 스트레이 키즈; RR: Seuteurei Kijeu) is a South Korean boy band formed by JYP Entertainment in 2017. The band has eight members: Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N. Former member Woojin left the band in 2019. Stray Kids primarily self-produces its recordings; the main production team is 3Racha, consisting of Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han, with the other members frequently participating in songwriting.

The leader, Bang Chan, personally selected each member to be a part of the band before filming the eponymous 2017 reality television show, which is unusual in the K-pop industry, where that authority is usually held by the agency's executives and creative directors. The band released their unofficial debut extended play (EP) Mixtape in January 2018 and officially debuted on March 25 with the EP I Am Not, which was followed by the EPs I Am Who and I Am You, completing the I Am EP series. The Clé trilogy, consisting of Clé 1: Miroh, Clé 2: Yellow Wood, and Clé: Levanter, was released in 2019.
