K-pop (Korean: 케이팝; RR: keipap), short for Korean popular music, is a form of popular music originating in South Korea as part of South Korean culture. It includes styles and genres from around the world, such as pop, hip hop, R&B, rock, jazz, gospel, reggae, electronic dance, folk, country, disco, and classical on top of its traditional Korean music roots. The term "K-pop" became popular in the 2000s, especially in the international context. The Korean term for domestic pop music is gayo (Korean: 가요; Hanja: 歌謠), which is still widely used within South Korea. While "K-pop" can refer to all popular music or pop music from South Korea, it is colloquially often used in a narrower sense for any Korean music and artists associated with the entertainment and idol industry in the country, regardless of the genre.

Stray Kids - Clé 2 : Yellow Wood (2019)


Stray Kids - Clé 2 : Yellow Wood (2019)

Clé 2 : Yellow Wood is the first special album and sixth extended play by South Korean boy group Stray Kids. It was released on June 19, 2019 with "Side Effects" serving as the title track.
The album mainly consists of all the "Mixtape" songs, previously only available as hidden tracks on the physical versions of "I am NOT", "I am WHO", "I am YOU" and "Clé 1 : MIROH". Those were later released again, in their eight members version and under new names, on the compilation album SKZ2021.
The physical release comes in three versions: Clé 2, Yellow Wood and Limited.

Stray Kids chose to go their own way with a flaming fight and passion. Life is a continuation of choice, and the anxieties and vagaries of choice are experienced by everyone. Even in natural procedures, 'adults' are afraid to reveal their own weakness. "Stray Kids", who are just starting off the boundaries of adulthood, were armed with recklessness, cynicism, and the recklessness that struck their whole body, avoiding adversity and suffering, shouting the processing of their emotions that would be 'weaknesses'. The Side Effects of "Stray Kids"' choices, challenges and confusions dissolve in and are tougher than anything else, which stimulates the sensibility of the listener.

Oddinary is the sixth extended play and ninth overall recorded by South Korean boy band Stray Kids.

The EP is Stray Kids' first release on Republic Records, which they signed in February 2022.

Material on the EP was primarily written and produced by 3Racha, an in-house production team of Stray Kids and other members; other producers on Oddinary include Versachoi, DallasK, Trippy, Jun2, Nickko Young, and Millionboy, with whom most of the group has previously worked. It consists of seven tracks, of which "Maniac" serves as lead single, and includes various musical genres such as hip hop, trap, EDM, and rock. Upon its release, the EP received positive reviews from music critics.

Oddinary peaked at number one on the album charts in South Korea, Finland, Poland, and the United States; and entered the top 10 in Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, Hungary, Japan, Lithuania, Sweden, and Switzerland. It marked Stray Kids' first appearance on the US Billboard 200 and the UK Official Albums Chart, among others. The EP has sold over 1.7 million copies, becoming the group's second million-selling album after Noeasy, and was certified "million" by the Korea Music Content Association (KMCA). To promote Oddinary, Stray Kids embarked on their second concert tour, Maniac World Tour, which commenced in late April 2022.
