Stray Kids' world tour concert “dominATE” held at the Olympic Gymnastics Stadium (KSPO DOME) in Songpa-gu, Seoul, on September 1 was a showcase of the group's growing global popularity. The four concerts of the boy band, which were held on August 24, 25, 31, and September 1, were all sold out.

After performing four songs in a row, including “Mountains,” “Thunderous,” “JJAM,” and “District 9,” with a spectacular band sound from the beginning, Stray Kids gave a short greeting to their fans and then continued to sing and perform for another hour and 45 minutes without saying a word.

Despite the rapid progress of intense choreography and rap, such as "Chk Chk Boom," "Top Line," "Super Bowl," and "Complex," all members maintained a certain energy from start to finish.

Various stage equipment also stood out. For the stage of “Back Door,” the group performed using eight real doors and cameras, much to the delight of the fans. When Felix in the LED video threw fire into the audience, flames soared on the actual stage.

At the concert, the eight members also premiered their unreleased solo songs.

The performance also premiered unreleased solo songs from all eight members.

Han sang “Hold My Hand” while playing guitar, followed by Lee Know’s “Youth,” Seungmin's “So, Slowly, We,” and Hyunjin's “So Good.” At the end of the concert, Bang Chan performed “Railway,” I.N performed “Hallucination,” and Felix performed “Unfair,” and Changbin performed “Ultra.”

The energy of the boy band’s fandom "STAY" was as strong as the group's. For about three hours, not only the fans at the standing area but also those who sat in the seats got up, danced, and enjoyed the concert. Stray Kids performed 32 songs, including encores.

Changbin said, “I don't usually get nervous before performing, but I was very nervous for the concerts in Seoul. Seeing STAY jumping around with us gave us good energy.” Han also said, “After the four concerts, I realized that Stray Kids are doing great on stage. You guys are our driving force, and we also want to be your driving force.”

Stray Kids working under the JYP Entertainment debuted in 2018 and have enjoyed great popularity in overseas markets, with their mini-albums “Ordinary” and “MAXIDENT” in 2022 and their third full-length album “★★★★★ (Five-Star)” and mini-album “Rock-Star” released in 2023 went straight into the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, the main chart of Billboard.

“Chk Chk Boom,” the title song of their latest album “Eight,” also ranked 49th on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. All of the members renewed their contracts with the management agency early ahead of the expiration of their exclusive contracts next year.

After the concert, the boy band will be going on a world tour in Asia, Europe, and North America until January next year.
