The group Stray Kids shared their thoughts after concluding a year-long tour.
On the morning of the 22nd, they held an opening ceremony for their fourth regular album 'KARMA' at the Grand Ballroom of Conrad Seoul in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, and discussed their new album.
Stray Kids set various first and record-breaking performances through their 'dominATE' world tour, the largest ever undertaken by themselves, with 54 shows across 34 regions worldwide since last year. They set the largest scale and most audience record for a K-pop performance held at the Stade de France in Paris, and left records as the first K-pop group to perform at 5 out of 6 stadiums on their European tour, including Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, and 5 out of 10 venues on their North American tour.
Hyunjin noted, "Since this was our first time performing in a stadium-sized venue, we practiced with a very nervous heart. When we finally entered such a large stadium, I felt incredibly grateful and determined to work even harder for the fans who are watching us from so far away. If I had to think of one memory before I die, it might be the expressions of the fans looking at us during this tour."
Regarding future goals, Bangchan stated, "Our goal is to continue to spread the songs and performances of Stray Kids widely for a long time. It would be an honor and a blessing if this album achieves good results, but I believe our main goal this time is to convey another color of Stray Kids to the world."
