The new album 'Maxident' is a compound word of the English words 'Max' and 'Maximum' and 'Accident' and 'Incident', meaning a 'large incident' that happened without notice. This is the same as the appearance of Stray Kids, who are active as 4th generation representative idols. Since their debut in the music industry in March 2018, they announced a solid start by sweeping the Rookie of the Year award, and won the final victory in Mnet's 'Kingdom: Legendary War' last year, proving their explosive global attention.
