Stray Kids Kicks Off 2025 World Tour with First Concert in Hong Kong

Stray Kids held their first solo concert in Hong Kong on January 18 and 19, 2025, marking the beginning of their world tour 'Stray Kids World Tour 'dominATE''. The concerts took place at the AsiaWorld-Arena and were met with enthusiastic responses from local fans, with all tickets selling out.

During the concert, the group expressed their excitement, stating, "It’s been eight years since we last performed in Hong Kong. We can’t imagine how long you’ve been waiting for this moment. Thank you for your patience, and we really missed our Hong Kong STAY (fanbase name)." They delivered a vibrant live performance featuring hit songs such as '소리꾼', 'Back Door' (백 도어), 'Chk Chk Boom' (칙칙붐), '神메뉴' (신메뉴), and '특'.

The atmosphere intensified with solo stages from each of the eight members, showcasing tracks from their record-breaking SKZHOP HIPTAPE (스키즈합 힙테이프) '合 (HOP)' (합 (합)), which achieved six consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard 200. The members shared their gratitude, saying, "The energy and sing-alongs from Hong Kong STAY are incredible. Thank you for creating such precious memories with us, and we hope this concert becomes a cherished memory for you as well. We have many exciting things planned, so please look forward to our future activities."

The first concert on January 18 also marked the eighth anniversary of the group's producing team, 3RACHA. Members Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han expressed their commitment to continue creating great music, eliciting cheers from the audience. On January 19, a surprise video prepared by fans moved the members deeply. Stray Kids reflected, "Our feelings remain unchanged when we are on stage with our members and STAY, sharing smiles together. We sincerely thank you for the love you give us and for waiting so long." They performed the track 'Stray Kids' from their mini-album 'ATE' (에이트) alongside the audience.

Having successfully completed their first concert of the 2025 world tour in Hong Kong, Stray Kids will continue their journey in March, heading to Latin America, North America, and Europe. They are set to showcase their immense popularity through a large-scale stadium tour across 20 regions, solidifying their status as a 'global top artist.'
