Stray Kids to release second ‘Cle’ EP

Boy band Stray Kids will release the second EP in its “Cle” series on June 19, JYP Entertainment said on Thursday.

The band’s new seven-track EP, “Cle 2 : Yellow Wood,” comes three months after “Cle 1 : Miroh,” which topped local charts and debuted at No. 3 on Billboard’s World Albums chart in April.

“With each new album, they shared a bit more of their dynamic energy and their skill as a rebellious K-pop boy band that features nine members who are hands-on in songwriting and crafting its messaging - especially production trio 3Racha, AKA members Bang Chan, Han, and Changbin,” said Billboard.

The agency released the names of the upcoming songs on Thursday - including the lead “Side Effect” (translated), “The Road Not Trodden” (translated) and “Just Thinking” (translated) - all to be released on June 19 at 6 p.m.

“All of the songs, including the lead track ‘Side Effect,’ were written and lyricized by the members,” the agency said.

Stray Kids recently finished a tour in the United States, meeting with fans in Newark, Los Angeles and Houston.
