Stray Kids bring a band sound to their new Pepero collaboration

The September 10 digital single 11월 11일 features HAN in its writing credits and connects a Korean gifting tradition with the group's global audience.

A September release with a November name

Stray Kids have added 11월 11일, meaning November 11, to their official discography. JYP lists the digital single's release date as September 10, 2026. The project is a collaboration with Pepero, the snack brand from Lotte Wellfood, and takes its theme from the November 11 occasion for sharing affection, friendship and appreciation. The date in the title describes the celebration; it is not the release date.

HAN's contribution is in the credits

The official release notes describe a band-based arrangement and a warm, youthful mood. HAN is credited for lyrics and co-composition, alongside Vendors' Helixx and PEACH.L on composition. The credits also list HAN on background vocals and vocal direction. That detail makes the single interesting beyond its commercial partnership: listeners can trace a member's contribution through the actual production roles, rather than treating the collaboration as a branding announcement alone.

Where it sits in the current catalogue

The new track follows the August 7 album THIS & THAT and the remix editions that appeared later that month. Together, the releases offer an easy route into the group's current work: start with the album's title track, then hear how the September single approaches a different occasion and mood. Stray Kids also enter this season with a substantial audience benchmark behind them: IFPI placed the group second in its Global Artist Chart for 2025. That annual result measures catalogue consumption across formats; it does not establish a chart position for this new song. The song's writing credits and release page provide the clearest starting point for exploring it.
