Stray Kids, the popular K-pop band, dropped their new album titled “Ate” in July 2024, with the lead single “Chk Chk Boom” serving as its title track. The music video for this catchy number boasts appearances by Hollywood stars Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds. Fans were thrilled by the song’s bold lyrics and message, marking the start of a more self-assured phase for Stray Kids in their K-pop career.
The career trajectory of Stray Kids was consistently upward. Before they reached the peak by charting on the Billboard 200, their song “Back Door” made it onto Time’s list of the Best Songs of 2020. Now, four years later, they have achieved this feat with four albums and extended plays that all topped the Billboard 200 charts.
Fans eagerly await the heightened achievement of Stray Kids following the release of their latest album, Ate. Sales figures and skyrocketing views on “Chk Chk Boom” suggest a strong reception from audiences.
Stray Kids new MV ‘Chk Chk Boom:’ What do the lyrics mean?
As a long-time fan of K-pop, I’ve seen my fair share of music videos that leave me underwhelmed. But Stray Kids’ new MV for “Chk Chk Boom” was a breath of fresh air. The unexpected appearances of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman added an exciting twist that made the video even more enjoyable.
In the opening verse of “Chk Chk Boom,” Han and Changbin boldly declare their confidence: “I strike the black dot dead center,/ With a swift strategy, no flaw,/ In a scene with no hidden angles,/ I dance as planned, unyielding./ Tired of this mundane life, I’ve had my fill,/ Of victories piled high, so overflowing./ To take a leisurely walk, I don the belt at my waist,/ As we venture into the cosmos, all others pay homage to my strength.”
As a fan, I’m in awe of how the group brings Spanish flair into the chorus with Hyunjin and Lee Know leading the way, belting out “Let’s go, I know you crave it/ Wolves, we can’t resist the chase.” In verse 2, Felix showcases his powerful vocals, giving us a spine-tingling moment as he sings, “My next move elevates me to new heights/ Step by step towards my ultimate goal.”
