STAYC has sent a comeback signal as a spoiler while departing.
STAYC (Sumin, Sieun, Aisa, Seeun, Yoon, Jaei) announced the release of their special single 'I WANT IT' on the 23rd through their official SNS on the 2nd. This comeback marks their first new release in about four months since the single 'S' in March and will serve as the starting point for their global activities in the second half of the year.
The comeback announcement started at the airport. On the day they were departing for their second world tour 'STAY TUNED' performance in Australia, all members and staff attracted attention by wearing outfits with the phrase 'I WANT IT' written on them. In particular, some members wore sunglasses with texts like 'comeback day' and 'the song is coming out,' hinting at their comeback in a direct yet witty manner.
The creative styling that did not lose its flair even at the departure area, combined with STAYC's confident declaration of their comeback, generated even greater anticipation among fans. Online community reactions included enthusiastic comments such as "A confident comeback spoiler, indeed the best STAYC," "Summer STAYC is a win," and "I was waiting for my own summer queen," fueling discussions.
On the 2nd, a selfie photo featuring the outfits worn during their departure was released through their official SNS, resolving fans' curiosities. That post confirmed the special single title 'I WANT IT' and the release date of July 23, officializing their summer comeback.
Details of their global schedule for the second half of the year have also emerged. Following the successful performances in Osaka, Tokyo, and Jakarta since starting in Seoul in April, STAYC will conduct further dates. They will visit Melbourne on the 5th, Brisbane on the 8th, Auckland on the 11th, Bangkok on the 19th, Hong Kong on August 9th, Singapore on the 16th, and Taipei on the 23rd. Starting in October, they plan to expand their stage to North America, including Seattle, Los Angeles, New York, and Toronto.
With this 'I WANT IT' activity, STAYC targets summer listeners once again. Teasing content related to STAYC's new release 'I WANT IT,' which draws global fan interest with its combination of style and message, will be released sequentially.
