Stray Kids
Stray Kids (hangul: 스트레이 키즈), shortened as SKZ (스키즈), is a South Korean boy group formed by JYP Entertainment through the 2017 reality show of the same name. The group officially debuted on March 25, 2018 with District 9 (I Am Not).
Three of the members are part of a rap/hip hop sub-unit called 3RACHA (쓰리라차). They compose the majority of Stray Kids' songs under the sub-unit name.
Stray Kids is generally known as one of the most unique groups as they created themselves, unlike all of JYPE's other groups who were created by the company itself.
