Boy group Stray Kids shared their thoughts on successfully completing their stadium tour.



On August 22, Stray Kids (Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N) held a press conference at Conrad Seoul in Yeouido, Seoul, to commemorate the release of their 4th full-length album KARMA.



From August 2024 to last month, the group held 54 concerts across 34 cities worldwide over about 11 months. Their journey covered a total of approximately 285,000 km—equivalent to circling the globe seven times based on Incheon Airport standards. Out of 27 stadiums, Stray Kids performed in 13, setting records as the “first,” “biggest,” and “most” in various categories.



Regarding the experience, Hyunjin shared:


“It was our first time performing at stadium-sized venues, so we practiced with very nervous hearts. But once we stood on those massive stages, I thought, ‘We really need to be grateful to STAY (fandom name), who care about us and love us even from faraway countries,’ and ‘We should work even harder on stage.’ If I could remember just one thing before I die, it would probably be the eyes of STAY that I saw in those stadiums.”



Stray Kids’ 4th full-length album KARMA was released on August 22 at 1 PM KST on various online music platforms.
