How do you pronounce it?
The romanization is Seuteurei Kijeu.
Did you know?
- The group often refers to their identity as 'stray' by using the Korean concept of 길을 잃은, meaning 'lost' or 'wandering', to describe their creative philosophy.
- While the name is written as 스트레이 키즈, fans often use the nickname 스키즈, which mirrors the English abbreviation 'SKZ' by taking the first syllables of each word.
- The 's' sound at the end of 'kids' cannot exist alone in a Korean syllable, so the 's' is transformed into the syllable 즈 (jeu) to satisfy Korean phonetic rules.
