STAY get to turn the album over before it lands. Stray Kids posted two 3D album previews for 'THIS & THAT' on the official channel within half a minute of each other — one holding the THIS and THAT versions, the other a limited TRUCK version — and each runs exactly thirty-six seconds.
The reaction is doing something to the ratio. The TRUCK clip shows 19,940 views against 9,189 likes, and the THIS and THAT clip 16,859 views against 8,417 likes — roughly one like for every two views on both.

Under both clips sits the same dated line — 2026.08.07 FRI 1PM (KST), 0AM (ET) — printed without a label, so what it marks is left to the channel to say. The descriptions also point to the Fans Shop pre-order, and the first clip adds a four-day shop event running August 3 at 10 AM to August 6 at 11:59 PM KST, with signed albums drawn for THIS and THAT buyers.
Both clips are on Stray Kids' artist page here as they posted, and anything the channel adds before Friday lands in the same shelf, with the view counters refreshing while the page is open.
Context for International Fans
A 3D album preview is a rotating render of the physical package, posted so fans can see the photobook, case and inclusions before ordering. K-pop releases usually ship in several versions with different photobooks and randomised photocards, which is why a single album can have three separate previews. Stray Kids' fandom name is STAY.
Why It Matters
Version reveals decide what a fan actually buys, and a limited edition sets the clock on that decision. The like-to-view ratio on these two clips is also its own signal: the people watching are the people ordering.
What to Watch Next
August 7 at 1 PM KST is the time printed on both clips. Whatever the channel attaches to it will appear on Stray Kids' artist hub as soon as it posts.
