Stray Kids will release its second Japanese full-length album, "GIANT," on Nov. 13, its agency JYP Entertainment said Wednesday.

It will be the group’s first Japanese album release in a year and nine months following its debut Japanese full-length album, "The Sound," in February 2023.

Last year, Stray Kids topped Japan’s Oricon chart with its first Japanese EP, "Social Path (feat. LiSA)," and the Japanese version of "Super Bowl.” It also completed its "5-STAR Dome Tour 2023," performing at Japan's major dome stadiums, like the Tokyo Dome and the Fukuoka PayPay Dome.

Stray Kids continued its momentum at home with the release of its EP "ATE," featuring the lead track "Chk Chk Boom" in July.

The song was ranked No. 49 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart that month, and its music video surpassed 100 million views on YouTube on Sept. 27.
