Stray Kids participates again in a charity concert in France, radiating their presence as a 'global top artist.' Stray Kids will perform on January 22 (local time) at the Paris La Défense Arena for the 'Le Gala Des Pièces Jaunes' charity event. This event is hosted by the French hospital foundation 'Opération pièces jaunes,' chaired by France's First Lady Brigitte Macron, and is held to raise funds to support hospitalized children and youth. This year, global artists including Stray Kids, BIGBANG's G-DRAGON, Christina Aguilera, and A$AP Rocky are lined up, attracting attention. This event marks Stray Kids' second participation since they became the first K-POP boy group to stand on this stage in 2024, garnering even more attention. In July 2023, they headlined 'Lollapalooza Paris' as the first K-POP artist, and in January 2024, they will perform at the charity event. Additionally, in July 2025, they successfully held the largest K-POP performance in France, attracting about 120,000 people. Stray Kids has been expanding their presence in France every year and will excite local fans again in 2026. Moreover, in a New Year plan announcement video 'Stray Kids “STEP OUT 2026”' released on January 1 through their official SNS, they hinted at participating in music festivals. Starting with the January charity concert in France, they plan to headline the 'The Governors Ball Music Festival' in New York in June and 'Rock in Rio' in Brazil in September, adding color to festivals around the world. Furthermore, Stray Kids has recorded a long hit on the main album chart 'Billboard 200,' showcasing remarkable activity since the beginning of the year.
