Stray Kids Search For Connection in Emotional ‘After You’ Video

Stray Kids celebrated the success of their album THIS & THAT by releasing the emotional video for the song "After You." The collection has already amassed over 100 million streams on Spotify, as highlighted in a press statement. The music video opens with the members engaging in various daily activities, including street busking and bartending, before the electrifying beat kicks in.

As the song intensifies, Felix and Hyunjin sing about their initial emotional connection, with Felix admitting, "I had to catch my breath, saw you walking past/Forgot someone could turn my world around like that." Seungmin, Bang Chan, and Lee Know then join in with the chorus, "But I'm up all night, and I don't know what to do/How can I breathe the same after you?"

The video then transitions to various settings, depicting the members in a recording studio, an indoor swimming pool, a rainy bus stop at night, and a karaoke bar.

Stray Kids explained that the video's storyline follows a series of emotional journeys, as each scene transitions from the "Before You" emotional stagnation to a newfound sense of feeling through human connection and inner resolve, culminating in the euphoric "After You." The cinematic visuals aim to immerse the viewer in the emotional arc of the track.

Earlier this week, the group expressed their gratitude for the album's accolades, stating, "We are deeply grateful for all of your support. Thank you so much STAY." Their upcoming 2026 RUN IT world tour will include performances in Tokyo's National Stadium on August 29, followed by shows in South America and Mexico City.
