Stray Kids' Seungmin Steps Back From Comeback Promotions
Stray Kids' Seungmin will sit out select promotions for the group's new mini album THIS & THAT, released August 7, due to ongoing health treatment. He remains involved in other comeback activities.

Stray Kids are moving forward with their THIS & THAT mini album release today, but not at full strength. JYP Entertainment confirmed on August 7 KST that vocalist Seungmin will skip certain promotional activities for the project while undergoing rehabilitation treatment.
The label didn't specify which promotions Seungmin is sitting out, only that he's stepping back from "certain" commitments tied to the comeback. He will still participate in some album-related activities, keeping him partially involved in the release push.
This marks a shift for the group after their strong showing on last week's Billboard World Albums chart, where Stray Kids landed among the top positions alongside ATEEZ, aespa, LE SSERAFIM, and others. The new mini album arrives as scheduled despite Seungmin's reduced involvement.
Stray Kids have been transparent about member health concerns before, and JYP's decision to let Seungmin continue some promotional work while protecting his recovery time suggests a measured approach. Fans will see eight members at music show performances and other key appearances, though the exact schedule adjustments remain unclear.
The THIS & THAT release goes live today across streaming platforms, with the group ramping up promotion through the week. More details about Seungmin's specific involvement should emerge as comeback activities begin.
