Stray Kids' Han releases solo track 'back to life' for 'Skz-Player' project

Han, a member of boy band Stray Kids, will release a self-written track, "back to life," on Thursday, according to his agency JYP Entertainment. 

The music video for the track was released on May 9 as part of the band's self-produced project, "Skz-Player." The song is focused on the message of "trying to put myself out into the world, no matter how hard it gets," according to the agency.

“Skz-Player” is a series in which each of the group’s eight members presents self-written, self-produced unreleased tracks and shares the behind-the-scenes journey of creating the accompanying music videos.

The remaining members' works will soon be released one by one following Han's lead, according to the band's agency.

The group's tracks that were not included on its previous albums are also scheduled to be released as a digital album of the series, as announced earlier in the year during  Step Out 2026, a roadmap released at the beginning of each year to provide an outlook of the group's activities for the following year.

Stray Kids debuted on March 25, 2018. Its members are Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N. The band is best known for songs such as “God’s Menu” (2020), “S-Class” (2023) and “Lose My Breath” (2024).

Stray Kids is scheduled to headline the Governors Ball Music Festival in New York on June 6 and the Brazilian rock festival Rock in Rio, held in Rio de Janeiro on Sept. 11.

Straycity, a new music festival headlined by the band, is also scheduled to take place in three Latin American cities in September.
