Stray Kids (Stray Kids) made their second overall appearance at a charity concert in France and performed on stage.

Stray Kids attended the "Le Gala des Pièces jaunes" ('Collecting yellow coins' charity event) held on the 22nd (local time) at Paris la Défense Arena. The concert was hosted by the French hospital foundation "Opération pièces jaunes" (Operation pièces jaunes), chaired by France's first lady Brigitte Macron, to raise funds to help hospitalized children and adolescents. Stray Kids were invited again after their 2024 performance as the first K-pop boy group, adding significance, and shared the stage with global artists such as G-Dragon, Christina Aguilera, and A$AP Rocky.

Opening the show with an intro that conveyed the dignity of a 'K-pop champion,' Stray Kids delivered a parade of the group's signature songs, including "Chk Chk Boom" (Chik-chik boom), "Do It (Overdrive Version)" (Do It (Overdrive Version)), "CEREMONY" (Ceremony), and "Rak (樂)", heating up the atmosphere. In particular, "Rak (樂)", reinterpreted and presented in an orchestra version, combined majestic sound and overwhelming energy to bring the venue to a climax. The eight members captivated the audience with their trademark powerful performances and live vocals, and fans' explosive group singing, shouts, and waves of lightsticks created a spectacular scene. This performance can be viewed on France 2 and the france tv YouTube channel on the 30th (31st in Korea).
