Hyunjin, on the other hand, showcased his talent with a performance of "Play With Fire" during SKZ-PLAY in July 2021, proving his unmatched charisma and dance prowess.

These solo triumphs paved the way for their electrifying collab, and just days after the unforgettable collaboration, fans were treated to a special gift on TikTok! Stray Kids' official account gifted us with a playful dance video featuring the duo grooving to their recent hit "LALALALA."
