In a heartwarming gesture that has delighted fans worldwide, Han Jisung, a member of the globally renowned K-pop group Stray Kids, has released a brand-new self-written and self-composed song titled “유성우 (Raining Stars).”
Dropped on December 27, 2025, as a surprise holiday gift, the track has quickly become a focal point of conversation among the group’s fandom, STAY.
This release continues Han’s long-standing tradition of sharing personal, introspective music through the group’s “SKZ-RECORD” series, further solidifying his reputation as a prolific singer-songwriter and a versatile artist within the 4th generation of K-pop.
Surprise Holiday Release for STAY
The release of “Raining Stars” came without prior announcement, serving as an unexpected “Christmas gift” for fans during the festive season.
Stray Kids is known for their constant engagement with their supporters, and Han’s decision to drop a solo track during the year-end holidays underscores his deep appreciation for the fans.
The song was made available on the group’s official YouTube channel under the “SKZ-RECORD” banner, a platform the members use to showcase their individual musical colors and experimental sounds that might not always fit within the group’s main album concepts.
The Meaning and Composition of “Raining Stars”
“Raining Stars” (Korean title: 유성우, meaning “Meteor Shower”) is a poignant track that explores the intensity and beauty of a deep, heartfelt love.
