Stray Kids made their second appearance at a French charity concert. They attended the "Yellow Coin Collection Charity Event" held on January 22 (local time) at La Défense Arena in Paris. The concert was hosted by the French hospital foundation "Yellow Coin Collection Charity," chaired by Brigitte Macron, the First Lady of France, with the purpose of raising funds to help hospitalized children and adolescents.

Stray Kids added significance by being invited again after their 2024 performance as the "first K-pop boy group." They shared the stage with global artists such as G-Dragon, Christina Aguilera, and A$AP Rocky. The performance began with an intro that showcased the dignity of the "K-pop champions," and they energized the audience by performing the group's representative songs, including "Chk Chk Boom," "Do It (Overdrive Version)," "CEREMONY," and "Rock (樂)."

In particular, "Rock (樂)" was reinterpreted in an orchestra version, emitting a grand sound and overwhelming energy that elevated the excitement of the venue to its peak. The eight members captivated the crowd with powerful performances and live vocals, harmonizing with the explosive chants and cheers of the fans.

This performance is scheduled to be broadcast on January 30 (January 31 Korean time) on the French terrestrial channel France 2 and on YouTube via france tv. Stray Kids has consistently maintained a presence in France every year. In July 2023, they became the first K-pop artist to headline "Lollapalooza Paris," and in January 2024, they participated in the "Yellow Coin Collection Charity Event" for the first time. Additionally, in July 2025, as part of their world tour "dominATE," they held a solo concert at Stade de France, attracting a total of 120,000 spectators and setting the record for the largest K-pop concert ever held in France.

In 2026, Stray Kids will continue their activities as a "global top artist." In the New Year plan announcement video "Stray Kids 'STEP OUT 2026'" released through their official SNS channels, they announced their participation in music festivals. They will headline "The Governors Ball Music Festival" in New York, USA, on June 6, and "Rock in Rio" in Brazil on September 11.

Last year, Stray Kids achieved significant milestones, including entering the top spot on the US Billboard main album chart "Billboard 200" for seven and eight consecutive times. They are elevating the status of K-pop and solidifying their position as global artists.
