JYP Entertainment announced on September 3 that the group's mini-album "THIS & THAT" by Stray Kids has received Gold certification from the Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique (SNEP), the French recording industry association. This achievement comes approximately 20 days after the album's release on August 7.

SNEP awards Gold certification to albums that have sold over 50,000 units. Previously, Stray Kids had received the same certification for their third studio album "Fivestar," mini-albums "Rockstar" and "ATE," the "SKZ-HOP Mixtape," and their fourth studio album "KARMA."

"THIS & THAT" also remained in the top 10 of the Billboard 200, Billboard’s main albums chart in the United States, for three consecutive weeks. The album debuted at No. 1 on the August 22 chart, ranked No. 3 on the August 29 chart, and reached No. 8 on the September 5 chart. Including this release, Stray Kids has now sent nine consecutive albums to the top of the Billboard 200.

The number of songs registered to producer team 3RACHA, composed of members Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han, has also increased. According to the Korea Music Copyright Association (KOMCA) as of August 26, Bang Chan is listed as the copyright holder for 243 songs, Changbin for 207, and Han for 204 songs.

On August 29 and 30, Stray Kids held the "RUN IT" world tour concert at the National Stadium in Tokyo, Japan, attracting a total audience of 140,000 over two days. This month, the group will host "STRAYCITY" in three regions across South America and appear as headliners at Brazil's "Rock in Rio" music festival.
