The renewal of each Stray Kids member's exclusive contract with JYP Entertainment has been confirmed. The update caused a plethora of overjoyed fans, who expressed happiness over the K-pop act's new chapter as a group.

On July 18, JYP Entertainment released a brief statement announcing the exclusive contract renewal of Stray Kids. According to the statement, all eight members have renewed ahead of the group's contract expiration in 2025.

The agency added that Stray Kids' decision to renew was based on the mutual trust between the group and JYP Entertainment, as well as the octet's resolve to continue together as a group. Read the agency's statement below:

"With the expiration of the exclusive contract early next year, all Stray Kids members Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N have renewed their exclusive contracts.

Stray Kids, an artist who has demonstrated the power of music and performance in the global music market, and JYP Entertainment, which has led and planned the group's trajectory in growth, have agreed to a renewal based on their strong faith in each other and their dreams."

On social media platform X (Twitter), STAYs couldn't hold back their happiness. Some declared their everlasting love and support for Stray Kids, while others thanked the members for renewing their contracts together.

hopefully the terms of these contracts include better promotion and pay that will make them trillionaires for carrying the company on their backs for 7 years and getting nothing from it
