It set a record for the first time in the chart's 69-year history by going straight to the top.
Recently, they are conducting a total of 54 performances in 34 regions around the world through their largest world tour, 'Stray Kids World Tour' (Dominate), of which 38 are stadium performances, showing off their status as 'global stadium artists'. Starting from KSPO DOME in Seoul in August 2024, the group has passed through Asia, Oceania, Latin America, and North America, and is currently carrying out their first European tour with great success. Following the 'first K-pop artist' performance at Riyadh Air Metropolitano in Madrid, Spain, the group will hold two solo performances at the Stade de France in Paris, France on the 26th and 27th (local time).
Stray Kids is enjoying great popularity by achieving various positive results in the global music market. At the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards, they won the 'K-Pop Album of the Year' category, giving them the pleasure of winning the award for two consecutive years, and at the 2025 Kids' Choice Awards, they were named as the protagonists of the 'Favorite Music Group' trophy. In addition, they have been receiving awards at various popular music awards ceremonies, including winning the 'Favorite Soundtrack' category at the 2025 American Music Awards and winning two awards in 'Music Video of the Year' and 'Best 3 Album' at the 39th Japan Golden Disk Awards.
In addition, there are various indicators that can confirm Stray Kids' overwhelming global presence. In addition to becoming the third K-pop artist to reach 20 million subscribers on their official YouTube channel, the number of followers on their official TikTok channel also exceeded 30 million for the third time in the history of a K-pop group. In addition, the music videos for 'MEGAVERSE' and 'CHEESE' surpassed 100 million views on YouTube, bringing the total to a total of 17 music videos with over 100 million views. This is the largest number among the 4th generation K-pop boy groups.
Stray Kids, who are releasing countless good records that will leave a mark on the global music market, are now drawing the attention of K-pop fans around the world with comeback news that will further solidify their position as a 'global top artist'. In June 2023, the full-length album will finally have its grand opening after about two years since the third full-length album '★★★★★ (5-STAR)'.
The trailer, which was released along with the comeback news at midnight on the 25th, immediately leads viewers to the time and space of 2081, the near future.
