A sudden record in France
Stray Kids performed in France for their Dominant world tour a month ago. In fact, the K-pop group had two sold-out concerts at Stade de France, where a total of 120,000 visitors came to watch the events for two days. If reports are to be believed, this is the biggest-ever K-pop concert held in France.
Meanwhile, Stray Kids’ third studio album, 5-Star, also made another record in the country by reaching the 52nd position on the SNEP Top 200 Albums (Year-End 2023). The group’s mini-album Rock-Star reached the 135th position on the same chart as well.
This, once again, proves a strong connection of Stray Kids with the French audience. If everything goes well, the group’s latest album KARMA will also have a good run in the country, including the rest of the world.
