Stray Kids continues to captivate global audiences with their new digital single “SLASH,” the OST for the movie “Deadpool and Wolverine.”
Following the release of their mini-album “ATE” and the title track “Chk Chk Boom” on the 19th, Stray Kids is set to drop “SLASH” today (23rd). This track, crafted by the group’s in-house production team 3RACHA (Bang Chan, Changbin, Han) and K-pop star producer VERSACHOI, is inspired by the “Deadpool” franchise.
The anticipation for “SLASH” soared after the “Deadpool and Wolverine” OST tracklist was unveiled, exciting movie fans and listeners worldwide. The new single will be available for streaming on various music platforms from 6 PM today.
Stray Kids’ unique connection with “Deadpool” began in 2021 when the group performed a “Deadpool”-themed stage on Mnet’s “Kingdom: Legendary War.” This performance caught the attention of Ryan Reynolds, the actor who plays Deadpool, who then mentioned Stray Kids on his social media channels, causing a sensation.
Bang Chan responded to Reynolds’ admiration with a social media post, further solidifying their bond. Hugh Jackman, Reynolds’ close friend and the actor who plays Wolverine in the “X-Men” series, also joined the interaction, delighting fans.
In celebration of the “Deadpool and Wolverine” movie release, Stray Kids, Ryan Reynolds, and Hugh Jackman conducted an interview together, with Reynolds and Jackman making surprise appearances in the “Chk Chk Boom” music video, showcasing their remarkable friendship.
Stray Kids’ recent release “ATE” and its title track “Chk Chk Boom” have been met with impressive success. According to Hanteo Chart, the album sold 1,654,332 copies on its release day, achieving million-seller status within a day. This marks their fourth consecutive album to reach million-seller status on the first day of release, following their mini-album “MAXIDENT,” third full-length album “★★★★★ (5-STAR),” and mini-album “樂-STAR.”
The “Chk Chk Boom” music video has also dominated YouTube’s worldwide trending music video charts, holding the number one spot for four consecutive days since its release on the 19th.
