Stray Kids and Stay are reaching uncharted territory...It's kinda surreal now. So so so proud of you and thank you!."
The title track from Chk Chk Boom from the newly released album ATE went on to grab the 49th spot on the prestigious Billboard Hot 100 chart. Moreover, the album also took the first rank in the Billboard 200 albums chart, making it their fifth consecutive entry. Furthermore, JY Park also mentioned that the group will be headlining one of the biggest music festivals, Lollapalooza in Chicago, in August 2024.
Apart from praising the group, he also acknowledged the fanbase STAY, without whom it would have been impossible to achieve any of it.

The members of the group were selected from the survival show with the same name as the group, organized by the company. However, the group soared to popularity with the release of the song God’s Menu from their first studio album, Go Live.
