The report, translated by Twitter user @im_jammed, indicate predictions of multiple profitable aspects set to come forth from the "big four" K-pop companies, JYP, SM, YG, and HYBE. Under JYP artists, the report reveals four new debut groups in 2021-2022, TWICE and Japanese group NiziU’s dome tour and Stray Kids' world tour in 2022.

With varied reactions from multiple fandoms, the STAY fandom is the happiest of all. Since their exemplary stage performances and win at Mnet’s Kingdom: Legendary War, Stray Kids’ popularity has cemented them as one of the most prominent fourth-generation boy groups.

As per the report, Stray Kids will be “resuming” their global tour, implying they might start touring from Europe. In March 2020, JYP Entertainment announced the cancelation of Stray Kids’ world tour District 9: Unlock in Europe due to COVID.

With countless instances of Stray Kids members, especially Felix, expressing their desire to perform in front of old and new fans, the STAY fandom is celebrating this rumor.

The canceled 2020 European tour included Madrid, Berlin, London, Brussels, Paris and Moscow. As the tweet explicitly states “resumes”, the aforementioned cities are highly likely to be included.

Earlier reports also speculated that the group will be returning with a repackaged album in November. Stray Kids being Stray Kids, however, managed to stay tight-lipped about the comeback in multiple fan video calls.
