A Busy Year Ahead: “STEP OUT 2025” and Global Projects
Stray Kids introduced their 2025 plans through the “STEP OUT 2025” video, released on January 6. This fan meeting marks the beginning of their ambitious projects for the year. With a robust schedule, the group aims to continue their worldwide success.
In March, they will launch the Stray Kids World Tour, visiting 20 cities across Latin America, North America, and Europe. Notably, they will become the first K-pop artists to perform at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Other notable venues include Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City, SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, Rogers Centre in Toronto, and Stade de France in Paris.
Record-Breaking Achievements
In December, Stray Kids made history with their album “SKZHOP HIPTAPE 合 (HOP)”, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. This achievement marked their sixth consecutive album to top the chart, making them the first artists in the chart’s 69-year history to achieve this feat. Their innovative blend of traditional hip-hop and K-pop continues to resonate globally, further solidifying their position as top artists.
Stray Kids Fan Meeting Highlights Global Popularity and Future Prospects
The announcement of the fan meeting sparked excitement on Korean online communities such as instiz and MLBPARK. Fans expressed their eagerness to attend, although many anticipated challenges with ticket availability. Discussions highlighted the group’s immense popularity overseas, with some attributing their success to filling the gap during BTS’s military hiatus.
Stray Kids have been praised for blending hip-hop with K-pop and for showcasing their skills during survival programs. While concerns about future military enlistments surfaced, fans noted that Bang Chan is exempt due to his status as a Korean-Australian, and other members will likely enlist after 2027, minimizing disruptions.
