In May 2025, Stray Kids held their first stadium performance in Japan, 'Stray Kids World Tour,' at Shizuoka Ecopa Stadium. Experience that legendary stage again with an impressive VR concert! Currently, at Seibu Shibuya, the first VR live and exhibition event for Stray Kids, 'LYNKPOP: Stray Kids World Tour VR,' is ongoing. The realistic VR video area allows fans to feel close to the members, and various exhibition areas immerse fans in the world of Stray Kids, receiving positive feedback from many STAY (the name for Stray Kids fans). First-timers can feel at ease! The highlight of this event is the VR concert that can be enjoyed from the 'zero position.' Upon entering the VR video area, dedicated headsets are lined up at the seats. The walls, filled with words and illustrations inspired by Stray Kids, are also a must-see. Furthermore, for the 19:00 opening sessions after May, photography will be allowed after the screening! Fans can enjoy photo spots with plush toys and trading cards. Staff will provide careful explanations and support when wearing VR equipment, ensuring comfort. Additionally, there's a thoughtful notice saying, 'It’s so realistic that you might want to cheer during the concert screening. Please be careful!' (laughs). The overwhelming realism and immersion have become popular, and VR concerts are now a standard part of fan activities. What kind of stage can be seen at 'LYNKPOP: Stray Kids World Tour VR'... the venue is filled with anticipation. Are we standing on the stage!? A new experience where members gaze at you from the same eye level. When the concert video begins, the vast view of Ecopa Stadium and the soundcheck before the performance come into view. However, something feels different. That's because we are not standing in the audience but on the stage where the members perform. 'LYNKPOP: Stray Kids World Tour VR' features footage shot with a VR-specific camera, achieving a more realistic stage experience. You might find yourself cheering as members playfully flick you or make eye contact in a way that feels incredibly personal. If you get distracted by a member on the left, another member might pop up from the right, creating playful moments! The 'godly fan service' at the same eye level as Stray Kids is sure to make you want to repeat the experience. Additionally, the VR equipment features a world-first ZOOM function, allowing you to pull members closer for a new experience. This VR concert showcases performances of five songs from the Ecopa Stadium concert. Fans can also see expressions of members as they casually exit the stage and the eye contact exchanged between them—moments that cannot be seen from the audience! Moreover, if you glance down, you might spot drinks for the members, and you can see the arrangement of the stage set and equipment, providing an unparalleled immersion that cannot be experienced in other VR concerts. After enjoying the concert, the members appear right in front of you! The 30-minute segment includes exclusive messages about their thoughts on standing on stage with the VR concert camera and their anticipation for fan reactions. Furthermore, after passing through the VR video area, you can enjoy a luxurious exhibition area that immerses you in the world of Stray Kids. The interior expressing each song and the intersection of Stray Kids spread across the floor create a special space with attention to detail. Especially surprising is the display of costumes worn by the members, which are within reach! Observing the texture of the fabric and the history of performances etched into the costumes makes the members feel even more real. Additionally, there are many corners for STAY to enjoy, including comment videos from the members sent exclusively for this exhibition and photo spots for commemorative pictures alongside the members! After enjoying the exhibition, there’s a message board to convey your feelings to the members. After writing overflowing love, you can enjoy a wall full of messages that resonate with STAY.
