They do as well as their elders from BTS. The Stray Kids, an ultra-popular K-pop group, achieved the feat of filling a Stade de France in two hours when tickets went on sale this Wednesday for their concert in July 2025 at the Dyonisian venue. The eight members of this South Korean boy band have therefore announced a second date for which they are preparing to put tickets on sale this Friday, November 29 from noon.

It's a safe bet that they will be crowded behind their screen several minutes before the start to ensure they obtain the Holy Grail: their precious ticket to this concert that they would not want to miss for anything in the world.
Where do the members come from?
The group was born in Seoul in 2017, on the sidelines of a reality TV program, “Stray Kids”. The candidates on this show to join a K-pop group were divided into two groups: boys versus girls. The men's team, then called “Male Project Team” was led by one of the candidates, Bang Chan.
This Australian of South Korean origin, then barely 20 years old, joined an agency in his native country in 2010 to become a “trainee”, a sort of super-intern training to become a professional in the local music industry. It is therefore natural that he established himself as leader of the group, especially since he is the “hyung”, the oldest. Surrounded by Lee Know, Changbin, Seungmin, Woojin, Han, Felix, Hyunjin and IN, he finally wins within the group “Stray Kids”. All nine boys take off for careers in the demanding K-pop industry.
Their first music video, “District 9”, was released on March 26, 2018 and broke the record for a K-pop video debut, with over 4.2 million views in just 24 hours. The beginning of a global success among aficionados of the genre and which has not been denied since, despite the departure of Woojin from the group in 2019.
As proof, the Stade de France is only one of the many venues around the world which are already sold out for the visit of the Stray Kids: London, Amsterdam, Toronto, Mexico and Los Angeles have not escaped the wave for the shows of the “DominAte” tour.
A very notable appearance at Lollapalooza in 2023
Bang Chan, the leader, and his seven friends had already stirred up crowds and mobilized fans from all over Europe in July 2023, during their visit to Paris for the Lollapalooza festival. Like their elders BTS, they have everything to please the public, cut in the mold of K-pop: outfits always at the cutting edge of fashion, ultra-energetic and precise choreographies, sounds that stay in your head and above all … An immoderate love for their fans.
Proof of this is that when they go to a press conference, it is difficult to ask them a question. No, with them, everything is managed in advance by production: general questions, smooth and validated in advance, with equally cutesy answers, focused on their love for their fans. “We do our best to ensure that our fans leave our concerts with smiles on their faces. At festivals, we can also show our music to a wider audience,” Seungmin said on the sidelines of Lollapalooza in July 2023.
