Maxident is the seventh Korean-language extended play and eleventh overall by South Korean boy band Stray Kids. It was released on October 7, 2022, through JYP Entertainment and Republic Records, seven months after the release of their preceding EP, Oddinary (2022). A portmanteau of "max" or "maximum" and "incident" or "accident", the EP saw the band take on a "love" concept for the first time. The album was written and produced primarily by 3Racha, alongside the group's other members and producers Raphael, Daviid, Yosia, Tak, 1Take, Kim Park Chella, Hong Ji-sang, Earattack, Chan's, and Darm. It consists of eight tracks, including the lead single "Case 143" and the Korean version of "Circus", originally from the band's Japanese EP of the same name. Music critics described Maxident as an experimental release that still retains Stray Kids' identity. The EP topped national charts in South Korea, Poland, and the United States, and reached the top ten in Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Japan, Lithuania, New Zealand, Sweden, and Switzerland. The EP was certified as a triple-million seller by the Korea Music Content Association (KMCA), making it one of the best-selling albums in South Korea, and won the Album Bonsang at the 37th Golden Disc Awards and the Album of the Year in the fourth quarter at the 12th Circle Chart Music Awards. Maxident was certified gold by Recording Industry Association of America and was the sixth best-selling album worldwide in 2022, according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).
