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

Stray Kids were invited again to participate in this event 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."

Stray Kids energized the audience by performing their hit songs including "Chk Chk Boom," "Do It (Overdrive Version)," "CEREMONY," and "Rock (樂)." In particular, "Rock (樂)" was reinterpreted in an orchestral version, delivering a grand sound and overwhelming energy. The eight members captivated the crowd with powerful performances and live vocals, while fans filled the venue with explosive chants and waves of light sticks.

This performance will be broadcast on January 31 Korean time on the French terrestrial channel France 2 and on YouTube via france tv. Stray Kids have consistently maintained their presence in France. In July 2023, they became the first K-pop artists to headline "Lollapalooza Paris," and in January 2024, they participated in the "Yellow Coin Collection Charity Event" for the first time. In July 2025, as part of their world tour, they held a solo concert attracting a total of 120,000 attendees, marking the largest K-pop concert ever held in France.

Stray Kids reaffirmed their influence locally by attending the "Yellow Coin Collection Charity Event" as performers for the second time this year. Last year, they achieved significant milestones, including seven consecutive and eight consecutive No. 1 rankings on the US Billboard main album chart, the "Billboard 200." They will continue their activities as a "global top artist" in 2026.

Stray Kids released a New Year's plan announcement video titled "Stray Kids 'STEP OUT 2026'" through their official SNS channels. In this video, they previewed their appearances at music festivals. They are scheduled to headline "The Governors Ball Music Festival" in New York, USA, on June 6, and "Rock in Rio" in Brazil on September 11. Through their active presence on the global stage, they are elevating the status of K-pop.
