The title track, “STEREOTYPE" showcases STAYC's unique "TEENFRESH" genre, blending youthful energy with elegance. Through “STEREOTYPE” STAYC encourages listeners to look beyond surface appearances and acknowledge the diversity and essence inherent in everyone.

On February 21, 2022, STAYC released their second mini-album, YOUNG-LUV.COM, returning with a bold and love-struck image. The album's lead single, “RUN2U” expresses the fearless pursuit of love, regardless of others' opinions. This album continues to highlight STAYC's distinctive charm, combining addictive melodies with dynamic performances.

3rd Mini Album: TEENFRESH

The third mini-album, TEENFRESH, was released on August 16, 2023, further solidifying STAYC's genre of the same name. The album bursts with positive energy, much like the effervescence of an orange-flavored soda, especially through the title track “Bubble”. "TEENFRESH" encapsulates STAYC's unique blend of refreshing energy and distinctive, bright, kitschy charm.

STAYC's journey through their mini-albums showcases their evolving identity and contribution to the K-pop scene. By embracing their unique "TEENFRESH" genre and challenging societal norms, STAYC has carved a niche for themselves as trendsetters in young culture. Their music not only entertains but also inspires listeners to see beyond stereotypes, making STAYC a true “Star To A Young Culture”.
