Stray Kids Celebrate Billboard Feat with 'Gold Gift' from J.Y. Park, Dream of Long Career Like g.o.d

K-pop sensation Stray Kids appeared as a full group on JTBC's 'Newsroom,' sharing their excitement over their latest Billboard 200 record and discussing their new album.

The members expressed their surprise and honor at being featured on a news program, stating, "It feels surreal to be on TV news. It makes us realize how hard we've worked," and "It's an honor to appear on the news as a group."

Regarding their groundbreaking achievement of seven consecutive No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 chart with their latest release, 'ROCK-STAR,' the members reflected, "We put immense effort into our previous albums as well. This album was made with our entire heart and soul, so we were deeply moved by the positive outcome, which feels like a gift from our fans."

An anecdote about JYP Entertainment founder J.Y. Park gifting them '160 don' (approximately 600 grams) of gold to celebrate the milestone was also shared. "He had commemorative plaques made of gold for each of us. It's a meaningful gift that represents a lifelong pride in our Billboard record," the members revealed, humorously adding, "We'll have to ask for more every time we break another record."

When asked about the secret to their teamwork, they emphasized open communication: "We talk a lot among ourselves. We love each other so much that we even hang out on our days off." They described their members as "precious people whose futures we are curious about and with whom we want to last a long time." Responding to the anchor's remark about them having anniversary concert interviews like g.o.d after 30 or 40 years, they affirmed, "That is our dream."

Fans reacted enthusiastically to the news, commenting, "Wow, Stray Kids on Newsroom, this is huge!" and "A gold gift? J.Y. Park's generosity is amazing!" Many also expressed their hopes, "Please stay active for a long time, SKZ, just like g.o.d!"
