Stray Kids, the internationally acclaimed K-pop group, continues to solidify their global star status after achieving an impressive eight consecutive number ones on Billboard's Album Chart - the Billboard 200. They will be featured in a special Lunar New Year variety show titled 'Soul Beam' on KBS2, showcasing their endearing side as they engage with traditional Korean culture. The program is set to air on January 16 at 8:10 PM, creating a blend of nostalgia and entertainment for viewers of all ages.

The concept of the show revolves around Stray Kids time-traveling back to the Joseon Dynasty, where they must complete quirky missions set by hosts Lee Soo-geun and Jonathan to return to the present day. This setting offers an innovative angle to explore Korean cultural heritage through the popular lens of K-pop. The show aims to evoke fond memories for parents while providing fresh entertainment for younger audiences, thus bridging generational gaps with humor and fun.

The special will also revive popular games from the 1990s variety show 'Family Game Hall,' reimagined for a contemporary audience in 2026. Stray Kids, whose discography includes chart-topping albums such as 'Ordinary,' 'Maxident,' and 'Karma,' has not only made waves in the K-pop scene but has also reached an unprecedented level in Billboard's history. This cross-generational appeal emphasizes the rich tapestry of Korean culture intertwined with the evolving dynamics of entertainment.
