Stray Kids held a solo performance at Incheon Asiad Main Stadium, signaling a new beginning with the end of their 11-month world tour. On the 18th and 19th, they held the encore performance of their largest world tour 'dominATE: celebrATE' at Incheon Asiad Main Stadium, achieving a brilliant record of 56 performances in 35 regions. On the final day, the offline concert was simultaneously streamed online through Beyond LIVE, marking a meaningful finale with fans worldwide who watched the largest world tour in the group's history. Through this encore concert, they held their first performance in a Korean stadium after 7 years since debut. Following performances at KSPO DOME in 2022 and Gocheok Sky Dome in 2023, they steadily expanded their venue size, leaving another memorable footprint in the group's growth history. They gazed at the packed audience for a moment, expressing their gratitude, saying, 'I can't believe we are performing here. Thank you for allowing us to have fun in such a large venue. This will be a truly happy and unforgettable moment.' As Stray Kids' first outdoor solo concert in Korea, they thrilled the audience with outdoor-specific performances. From the opening, various stage effects like fireworks and fire columns were showcased, and during the mid-performance segment celebrating their achievements, a magnificent drone show unfolded. The drones flew above the venue, creating intricate movements that formed logos and phrases symbolizing them, eliciting cheers. The unit song 'CINEMA' performed by Lino and Seungmin, along with 'LALALALA' and 'MIROH' where STAY (Stray Kids' fan nickname) danced together, filled the night sky with large fireworks, completing the festive atmosphere hosted by 'K-POP Champion' Stray Kids. They aim to 'conquer stages worldwide' starting from Seoul's KSPO DOME in August 2024 to Rome's Stadio Olimpico in July 2025, traveling over 285,000 km, equivalent to seven times around the Earth, meeting STAY worldwide. This astonishing world tour, with remarkable new records, strongly showcased Stray Kids' overwhelming popularity and presence in the global music market. After holding their first stadium performance during the encore of the 'Stray Kids 2nd World Tour 'MANIAC'' tour from 2022 to 2023, they expanded their stadium tour across Latin America, North America, and Europe, performing in 27 out of 34 regions. They stood on stages of super-large stadiums representing each region, achieving the first and highest results in K-POP history at 13 of the 27 stadiums. Returning to Korea after experiencing the four seasons, Stray Kids presented a special stage to express gratitude to their long-waiting fans. They premiered the title track 'CEREMONY' from their 4th full album 'KARMA,' which broke records on the Billboard 200, along with the songs 'BLEEP,' 'Half Time,' and 'In My Head.' Additionally, they showcased unit songs from the work 'Mixtape: dominATE,' which they gifted to fans in celebration of their 7th anniversary in March. Their reinterpretation of traditional elements, such as the performance of leader Bang Chan as a 'dark envoy' using a horse plaque and the songs 'Walkin On Water,' 'God's Menu,' and 'S-Class' with arrangements of traditional Korean music, heated up the venue. After the performance on the 19th, news that surprised the thousands of attendees was announced. A trailer video announcing the release of Stray Kids' new album was unexpectedly revealed, delighting fans. They will make a 'super-fast comeback' with SKZ IT TAPE 'DO IT' on November 21, after about three months. In this trailer, which features a modern yet minimal mansion space and captivating visuals, the eight members appear as 'modern-day deities.' Each member embodies a symbolic character with different energies, breaking the fear that has paralyzed the world and bringing healing and change, visually expressing Stray Kids' confrontation with fear and oppression as the world wrapped in silence gradually crumbles. Notably, the color tone of the footage changing from monochrome to color heightens anticipation for the new album. They took the stage in outfits with phrases hinting at 'IT TAPE' and 'DO IT,' piquing curiosity, and stated, 'There is still so much to show you this year. Let's keep running together until the end of the year,' exciting fans. Closing the world tour finale, the eight members conveyed their heartfelt gratitude, saying, 'During this year-long tour, our appreciation for you and our earnest desire for the stage have grown even larger. We realized how miraculous it is to be with those who support us. Starting from a small stage, it is deeply moving to come to such a large stage. You have truly loved us warmly this year. We will not forget this love and support and will continue to work hard. STAY, thank you, we love you.' Stray Kids, who heated up fans' hearts with overwhelming energy and passion, dyed the Incheon night sky with shining light sticks, finding the path they believe in. The miracle of seven times around the Earth and the record of their first stadium performance in Korea created by their fantastic synergy will be remembered as a glorious moment for a long time.
