STAYC have made their first comeback of the year, releasing the new single album S on March 18, 2025, featuring the lead track “BEBE,” alongside “DIAMOND” and “PIPE DOWN.”
The single album notably serves to redefine and reinvent STAYC’s musical identity as each of its three songs explores themes of “defying stereotypes and embracing their true selves,” fearlessly facing the future, as well as “inviting fans to explore the essence of authenticity.” This release also sees the rising South Korean girl group shift into an edgier and more striking aesthetic, fully embodying the musical evolution they have undergone as artist.
STAYC’s comeback with S was initially announced on February 21, 2025. It serves as the follow-up to their previous single album …l, which contains the lead track “GPT,” released last October 30, 2024.

Alongside new music, the rising South Korean girl group are also set to go on a world tour this 2025. Dubbed ‘STAY TUNED,’ the global trek will kick off this April 12 and 13, 2025 (Saturday and Sunday) at the Olympic Park Olympic Hall in Seoul. Other dates for the tour, including a possible stop in the Philippines, have yet to be announced. Watch this space for updates.
In other news, STAYC were recently in the Philippines for Day 1 of the first ever Manila iteration of the annual Waterbomb Festival last February 22, 2025 at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila City. Notably, they shared the stage with EXO‘s Chanyeol, EPIK HIGH, MAMAMOO‘s Hwasa, Kwon Eunbi, and more.
