The highlight of this day's performance was Stray Kids' first comeback in 2024, which will be unveiled at the festival, and the members enjoying the stage with the title song of the mini album 『ATE" (Eight)』, which ranks first for five consecutive years on the U.S. Billboard main chart 『Billboards 200" was enough to raise the on-site enthusiasm to the highest level.
Thanks to Chicago's enthusiastic response and cheers, the encore performance was presented with the title track of the mini-album '락ST-AR,\,,으로등타이틀미니했다(곡앙코르앨범)선사T톱시카고힘입어를에과락의무대('. The audience, immersed in Stray Kids' control of the stage, did not stop making enthusiastic requests for encores even after the official performance was over, and Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N. performed their first song 'Chk Chk Boom (Festival Ver.)' (Festival Version) and filled the set list with a total of two songs, including 'Haven' (Haven).
Recently, Stray Kids set its own record on the main Billboard charts in the United States and solidified its 'Global Top Artist' fame. With the album 'ATE' and the title song 'Chk Chk Boom' released in July, it ranked 49th on the Billboard main chart 'Bilboard 200' and 'Artist 100'Hot 100' simultaneously. It is the fourth time in their career that they have simultaneously dominated 'Billboards 200' and 'Artist 100' after two mini albums 'ODDINARY' (Ordinary) and 'MAXIDENT' (Maxident)', and the third full-length album '★★★★★ (5-STAR)' in 2023.
It became the only group to have five consecutive works on the chart since it went straight to No. 1 upon its first entry on 'Board 200' in March 2022. This is a record that follows the famous American rapper DMX by the world's artists. In particular, it broke its own highest ranking on the 'Hot 100' chart, which is evaluated as a key indicator of securing popularity.
Stray Kids, which is gaining huge global popularity, will open its new world tour 'Stray Kids World Tour ' (Dominate) with four performances of KSPO DOME in Seoul from August 24 to 25, and from 31 to September 1.
