Stray Kids 'Back Door' Makes It To Time Magazine's Ten Best Songs Of 2020
JYP Entertainment's youngest boy group Stray Kids just received a great honor. They became the only South Korean to make it to Time Magazine's list of Best Songs of 2020.
The song included was "Back Door", which was the lead single of the "In Life" repackaged edition. The lyrics and music were done by 3Racha, who debuted as a trio composed of Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han before they became part of Stray Kids. They are now considered a sub-unit of the group. The magazine calls the song catchy and complex, particularly because of the many musical styles it incorporates, including R&B, jazz, and even trap.
Stray Kids is a product of a reality show with the same name. At the end of the show, the group had nine members, Felix, Sungmin, I.N., Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Bang Chan, and Woojin. Woojin left the group in October 2019, although no specific reason was given at that time. The debut showcase of the group was held on March 25. They have already gone on two concert tours worldwide, but the second one "District 9: Unlock" was not able to finish all its stops due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The group instead held a Beyond Live online concert this November 22. The concert was shown through VLIVE+ and was dubbed "UNLOCK: GO LIVE IN LIFE". They were able to connect with fans from all over the world and performed some of their hits like "God's Menu", and "I am You". They also just released a dance practice video for their song "TA", which is one of their songs from their album "GO". Fans who watched the online concert were able to see some parts of the video before they released it.
They are not the first group from JYP to conduct an online concert. Last August, senior labelmates TWICE also held their own online concert.
