Stray Kids to go on world tour again this year! Powerful ‘Start’ in Hong Kong

Stray Kids resumed their world tour by holding their first solo concert in 2025 in Hong Kong.

Stray Kids held a solo concert as part of their world tour ‘Stray Kids World Tour ’ (〈Dominate〉) at the Asia World Arena in Hong Kong on January 18th and 19th (local time). This was their first solo concert held in Hong Kong since their debut, and local fans responded enthusiastically, with all tickets sold out for each show.

Stray Kids said, “This is our first Hong Kong concert in 8 years. I can‘t even imagine how long you’ve been waiting for this moment. Thank you for waiting, and we really missed the Hong Kong STAY (fandom name: STAY)” Following this, they presented vivid live performances and splendid performances of the group‘s representative hit songs such as ‘Sorikkun’, ‘Back Door’, ‘Chk Chk Boom’, ‘God’s Menu’, and ‘Teuk’.

They also heated up the atmosphere even more with the solo stages of the eight members‘ songs included in their work SKZHOP HIPTAPE ‘合 (HOP)’, which set a record of entering the US Billboard ‘Billboard 200’ 1st place for 6 consecutive times. They said, “The sing-along and energy of Hong Kong Stay are so great. Thank you for giving us precious memories, and I hope that this concert will be a good memory for you that you will want to come again. We have prepared many things, so I hope you look forward to our future activities,” he said.

The 18th, when the first concert was held, was even more meaningful as it was the 8th anniversary of the formation of the group’s producing team 3RACHA. Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han said, “Today is 3RACHA’s 8th anniversary. We will continue to do our best to make good songs,” drawing loud applause and cheers. At the concert on the 19th, the members were moved by an event video prepared by fans.

Stray Kids said, “Our members, STAY, our hearts when we perform on stage and laugh together remain unchanged. We are sincerely grateful for the love STAY gives us, and thank you again for waiting for a long time,” and sang ‘Stray Kids’, a track from their mini album ‘ATE’, with the audience.

Stray Kids successfully completed their first concert in 2025 as part of their world tour in Hong Kong. They will be going on a large-scale stadium tour of 20 regions in Latin America, North America, and Europe starting in March.
