The group STAYC (Sumin, Sieun, Isa, Seeun, Yoon, J) has put an end to official promotions for their new single ‘… l (dot dot dot)’ with their stage on SBS ‘Inkigayo’ that aired on the 17th.

STAYC, who made a comeback with their new single ‘… l (dot dot dot)’ three months after their first full-length album ‘Metamorphic’, showed off yet another musical transformation with the stage of their title song ‘GPT’.

STAYC showed off their lovely and kitschy charm with their more mature team chemistry and realistic choreography, and sang about their honest feelings for each other with witty speech. The French house sensibility added to the funky rhythm and chill sound also delivered STAYC‘s unique autumn mood.

The heart point choreography that stands out with its ideas was colorfully performed on each stage, providing fun to watch, and the performance that showed the members’ mature acting skills also caused addiction that made people want to follow along.

In particular, the live that did not waver despite the nonstop movements and choreography was connected with a leisurely stage manner, giving the viewers a pleasant laugh. Also, the visual synergy worthy of being the center of all of this, as well as the styling that fully embodies their bold musical identity and the ending pose with its kitschy individuality, delighted the eyes and ears of global fans.

In addition to music shows, STAYC has also appeared on MBC‘s ‘Salty Man’, KBS 2TV’s ‘Synchro You’, MBC FM4U Radio‘s ‘Kim Shin Young’s Noon Song of Hope’, and SBS PowerFM‘s ‘Bae Sung-jae’s Ten’, where they showed off their talk shows. They are also expressing their love in special ways by continuing the ‘dot dot dot(dot dot dot)’ challenge with various artists such as aespa‘s Karina, Park Jin-young, Kim Jae-joong, Park Nam-jung, The Boyz’s Eric, Kiss of Life‘s Julie and Haneul, and ITZY’s Chaeyoung.

On the 16th, at the ‘1st Korea Grand Music Awards (KGMA)’ held at the Inspire Arena in Unseo-dong, Jung-gu, Incheon, they won the Best Artist Award, proving their hexagonal all-rounder presence.

Among them, member Yoon is currently appearing as a guide on the original entertainment show ‘Starlight Boys’ presented by iQIYI, working hard to discover a global boy group, and is active as a confident entertainment character through their own content ‘Curious Ja Yoon Season 2’.

StayC plans to continue various activities in the future.
