K-pop boy band Stray Kids light up Paris with well-oiled show and adoring fans
The atmosphere at the Stade de France was already electric before the Stray Kids concert began. The K-pop group, which has taken the world by storm since its official debut in 2018, is in the midst of a global tour. For the French dates of their Dominate World Tour, they stopped at the Paris-adjacent stadium for two highly anticipated shows. On Sunday, July 27, fans of the Korean boy band, known as "Stays," shouted "Stray Kids, Stray Kids, Stray Kids!" at the top of their lungs. They waved in the air the group's light sticks, the glowing batons that are a staple among K-pop audiences. As is customary in Korean pop, each group has its own light stick: Stray Kids' version features a star encircled by a ring. The light changed color in sync with the songs, adding to the visual impact of the stage design. Thousands of sparkling stars lit up the stadium as the concert began promptly at 7:30 pm, with no opening act.
