BTS and BLACKPINK followed in the rankings.”
The group continues to showcase their status as “global record makers” by breaking various records in France. As noted by Billboard France, last month Stray Kids sold out two back-to-back shows at France’s iconic Stade de France as part of their world tour < dominATE >, drawing a total of 120,000 fans over the two nights. This not only marked the largest K-pop concert ever held in France but also set a new record for the highest attendance by a Korean artist at the stadium.

In July 2023, they became the first K-pop act to headline the major music festival Lollapalooza Paris, thrilling an audience of over 60,000. In January 2024, they became the first K-pop boy group to perform at the “Yellow Coins” charity event hosted by France’s First Lady Brigitte Macron, delivering a spectacular performance.

Meanwhile, Stray Kids are set to release their fourth studio album KARMA and title track “CEREMONY” on August 22. Having performed 54 shows across 34 locations worldwide, including France, and rewritten K-pop history, the group is poised to dominate the summer once again.
