Stray Kids launch K-pop takeover at Oracle Park in San Francisco
Thousands of fervent fans began converging on the home of the San Francisco Giants well before sunrise on Wednesday, May 28, camping out for a chance to see the global K-pop sensation perform later tonight. Many even lined up for hours to secure official merchandise at Bar Via, a nearby cocktail lounge, which was transformed into a pop-up shop selling band gear.
The concert, part of Stray Kids' DominAte world tour, is expected to be a more than two-hour spectacle featuring fireworks, synchronized choreography and a 30-song set list.
The tour is in support of Stray Kids' latest album, 'Skzhop Hiptape,' released in December. It kicked off with a historic performance at Seattle's T-Mobile Park on Saturday, May 24, where the group became the first K-pop act to sell out the stadium.
'A lot of Stray Kids' songs felt like an all-out assault on the senses,' the Seattle Times noted of their T-Mobile Park show, which attracted 41,000 attendees.
Known for their genre-blending music and high-energy performances, Stray Kids have become one of the most innovative acts in K-pop, with a discography that seamlessly fuses hip-hop, electronic dance music and rock.
Members Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N are all deeply involved in the creative process, contributing to the production and songwriting of their tracks.
Since their last Bay Area performance in 2022, Stray Kids have continued to rack up accolades for their musical achievements. Their 2023 record '5-Star' earned Top K-pop Album honors at the Billboard Music Awards and best K-pop at the 2023 MTV VMAs. The album, which sold more than 4.6 million copies in its first week, shattered K-pop records and cemented their status as global superstars.
In 2024, Stray Kids won group of the year at the People's Choice Awards and K-pop album of the year at the iHeartRadio Music Awards.
Stray Kids will continue their North American tour through June before heading to Europe in July. The entire tour expected to draw more than 2.2 million fans worldwide.

Walmart launches new stores to target younger audiences
Walmart has launched a fleet of themed mobile stores called "Walmart Delivers," designed to engage Gen Z with pop‑up retail experiences, giveaways, and photo ops at events across the U.S. running August through November 2025 That's part of a broad plan to make the chain a little more like rival Target, cool without really caring about cool. The campaign has a clear message it wants to get across: Walmart is a hip place for young people where executives clearly know and regularly use all the latest slang. Kids, 5he chain seems to think, always love it when mom and dad try to learn their lingo. Younger folks never stop using terms because adults have co-opted them into the mainstream, nor do they cringe at all when their musical icons turn up in T-Mobile or light beer commercials. Walmart (WMT) is about as hip as your 50-year-old English teacher who tries to incorporate Kendrick Lamar lyrics into his lesson plan. It's a noble idea, but it's one best left to '80s movies, as it's nearly impossible to be the old guy at the club who actually comes off like he belongs there. More Retail: Supermarket inflation: Beef prices soar as egg prices fallLevi's shares plan to beat tariffs, keep holiday prices downAmazon's quiet pricing twist on tariffs stuns shoppers This has not stopped Walmart from trying to co-opt the younger generations by describing its new mobile stores as: "Your FYP on wheels." Don't know what that means? You're not supposed to if you're over maybe 35, but according to Google, it's "for you page," as in a web page filled with so many things you like, it seems like it's just for you. When you get over the cringe factor, Walmart actually has an idea that might appeal to its target audience. The retailer has decided to create a fleet of mobile stores/retail experiences designed to appeal to specific groups of younger customers. "Walmart is hitting the road with a fleet of head-turning delivery trucks, packed with experiences to level up what you love. We're making stops across the U.S. and rolling up with photo-worthy moments, customizable giveaways, & much more. Because whatever you're into - we get it, we have it, and we can deliver it. Who knew?" the chain shared in a press release. Basically, Walmart wants to show some very specific groups that it offers items they regularly shop for. The Walmart Delivers fleet includes five trucks. Now Delivering Your: K-Pop Era: The ultimate K-Pop personalization studio is coming to a tour stop near you.

WFAN finds Dan in Warwick after Giants meetup spoof — and he didn't sound happy
It appears that 10 years later, Dan in Warwick really isn't all that interested in the potential Giants-Giants meetup. The famous WFAN caller, who stupefied former WFAN host Mike Francesa in 2014 by asking him if the New York Giants and the San Francisco Giants ever get together in honor of sharing the same name, instead acted as if the topic meant nothing to him in two bizarre spots with the station Monday. His call came after Francesa, ex-football Giants Eli Manning and Shaun O'Hara, and current baseball Giants Logan Webb and Matt Chapman came together for a viral video spoofing the idea. 4 Logan Webb (l), Matt Chapman (second from l), Mike Francesa (c), Shaun O'Hara (second from r) and Eli Manning (r) combined for the spoof video. @Giants/X Dan first chatted with Sal Licata during the midday show, and in a bad omen, the interview began with him calling the boisterous hot-taker Evan, thinking he was speaking with Evan Roberts, and also mentioning how he did not have much time since he was leaving Vermont. The WFAN caller acknowledged his call more than a decade ago being a prank, but did not know why his call had suddenly resurfaced since 'I'm not on social media much.' 'You know why we're calling you today, right?' Licata said. 'Nope,' Dan replied. Licata then described the video, while Dan bizarrely mentioned how he heard it was a 'pretty famous' call and mentioned an old cartoon of him featuring bleach and computers in the background. 'I'm not sure where we're going with that, but this is what you get when you talk to Dan in Warwick,' Licata said while laughing during the final few words. The talk then veered into how often Dan calls into the station, with the caller stating how he heard through the grapevine via his cousin that they wanted to talk to him. The weird conversation ended in less than two minutes. 'I really don't care to talk to Dan from Warwick,' Licata said, 'and clearly he doesn't seem interested at all.' Licata's show then played the clip of Francesa and Dan, before further driving home the point. 4 WFAN host Sal Licata. @sal_licata/X '…(Dan), who couldn't seem less interested in social media fame, his newfound viral fame or even talking with us for a few seconds here,' Licata said. 'I respect that, good for Dan, he had his prank 10 years ago, he did the job, and that's that. He did what he had to do. One of the most famous calls, if not now the most famous prank call to the FAN and doesn't care, God bless him.' Licata then laughed while mentioning the ridiculous situation. 'Like we're inconveniencing him,' Licata said. 'Sorry, Dan, did not mean to inconvenience you on this day, but we do appreciate your time.' Later in the day, during the afternoon drive with Shaun Morash and Tommy Lugauer filling in for Roberts and Tiki Barber, Dan had his second call-in. 4 WFAN's Shaun Morash. @ShaunMorash/X Morash noted that Dan seemed 'disinterested' earlier in the day and not as funny as one would expect for the person behind the epic prank. Dan said he only learned of the situation amid his Vermont exit — he was there for work — and talked to Licata right before he showered, leaving him with little time to spare. And then the interview got weird again. 4 WFAN's Tommy Lugauer. @TommyLugauer/X Morash asked him if the video and attention made him feel as if he had the best prank call ever, and Dan coldly responded: 'Not really, why?' Dan noted how he's not in the video while then asking if the hosts would be sending him money from the goof sketch. Morash and Lugauer could not believe Dan's reaction, with the latter trying to explain why he should be excited about the whole situation. 'I'm brilliant? Really, you're calling me brilliant for that call? I was just trolling Mike Francesa,' Dan said. 'I'm an eight-time consecutive class clown. I'm here for humor.' The pair asked if perhaps the prankster was trolling them and Licata before, but he insisted that's not the case before another sudden end to the call. Lugauer then noted how Dan had called the station twice, not the inverse. Said Morash: 'I can't believe he's gone 0-for-2 on calls.'

In Freakier Friday, Lindsay Lohan Gives the Performance We Didn't Know We Needed
To describe just how meaningful the Lindsay Lohan-Jamie Lee Curtis remake of Freaky Friday was to a 13-year-old in 2003, I'll use an anecdote. Shortly after seeing the movie with my mom, she asked me if I wanted to get a second piercing in my ear, a gesture that meant the world to an awkward tween desperate for some edge. My mom understood that Lohan in that movie was the pinnacle of cool, and that she could in turn gain some cred, just like Curtis on screen, if she submitted to my whims. Meanwhile, I got a little closer to approximating Lohan's perfect teen aura. In the early 2000s she was an influencer before that was even a term, the most famous girl in the world, who seemed destined for unstoppable greatness. That was the magic of the movie, directed by Mark Waters, which updated the body-swap plot to the early '00s with a lot of heart and a little bit of pop punk. The movie succeeded because of how equally balanced it was to the perspectives of mother and daughter—with Curtis and Lohan both turning in genius comedic performances that were funny but never felt mocking.
