Stray Kids Launches New World Tour with a Spectacular Start

Stray Kids kicked off their world tour, Dominate, with a spectacular performance at the KSPO Dome in Seoul. The eight-member group delivered an energetic and captivating show, showcasing their incredible talent and stage presence.

From the opening song, “MOUNTAINS”, to the final encore, “MIROH”, Stray Kids kept the audience on their feet with their powerful vocals, dynamic choreography, and impressive stage production. The group’s commitment to delivering high-quality performances was evident throughout the concert.

As the eight members of Stray Kids emerged from behind a massive, mouth-shaped screen that looked ready to devour the entire stage, the concert hall erupted with cheers from fans. The group wasted no time, charging onto the stage with precision rapping and synchronized group dance moves.

The energy was heightened by a live band whose thundering drum and bass beats set hearts racing, accompanied by fireworks exploding in sync with the music, creating an electrifying atmosphere that felt like the show had reached its peak from the very beginning.

Kicking off with their opening track, “MOUNTAINS,” they seamlessly built momentum with each song. The group further solidified their reputation as “performance masters” with their creative use of props and choreography. In “Back Door,” the members utilized movable doors on stage to make surprise entrances, while in their new song “Chk Chk Boom,” they arrived in luxury cars, drawing gasps from the audience.

Each of the eight members took turns showcasing their unreleased solo songs, highlighting their individual talents. Seungmin captivated the audience with his sweet vocals and acoustic guitar performance in “Like That, Slowly, Us,” while Hyunjin mesmerized with sensual choreography that matched the slow beat of “So Good,” followed by dynamic dance moves to the faster rhythm.

A particularly memorable moment was when Felix descended from the stage ceiling on a rose-shaped prop while singing “Unfair,” and when Bang Chan sent the crowd into a frenzy by boldly removing his shirt during “Railway.”

As the energy reached its peak, Stray Kids encouraged the audience to sing along during “God’s Menu” and “Special,” creating an interactive and lively atmosphere. After the performance of “Special,” Bang Chan remarked, “The energy today was incredible. I felt like the crowd had really come alive,” and led the audience in singing the song’s chorus once more.

The roar from the crowd was so intense that Changbin jokingly said, “I wonder if the concert hall’s roof is about to break.”

Reflecting on the performance, Seungmin shared, “It felt like we were opening a new chapter for ourselves,” adding, “This was a show that the members and staff put a lot of thought and effort into preparing.” Hyunjin echoed the sentiment, saying, “A new chapter has begun, which means there are more memories to be made. I want to create many happy memories with our fans for a long time.”

Stray Kids closed out the night with a powerful set, performing a total of 32 songs, including “MANIAC,” followed by encore performances of “CASE 143” and “MIROH.”

The global appeal of Stray Kids was evident, as fans from around the world filled the venue, waving light sticks and capturing moments on their cameras. The group’s international popularity continues to soar, particularly after securing five consecutive number-one spots on Billboard’s main album chart, the “Billboard 200.”

Following the successful kick-off of their tour with sold-out performances for all four Seoul concerts starting on August 24th, Stray Kids will continue to meet fans in Singapore, Melbourne, Kaohsiung, and Tokyo as their world tour progresses.
