Stray Kids Celebrate 8th Anniversary With Emotional Fan Meeting

Stray Kids created unforgettable memories with fans as they celebrated their 8th debut anniversary through a deeply emotional fan meeting.

The fan meeting was held across four dates (March 28, March 29, April 4, April 5) at Inspire Arena in Incheon and the group’s 6th official fan meeting “STAY in Our Little House” completely sold out, proving their continued global power.  Organizers also streamed the event online, allowing fans worldwide to join the moment.

The highlight of the night came with the performance of their new song “STAY,” dedicated to their fandom. As the music began, the members rose above the crowd on a ship-shaped lift, locking eyes with fans across every level of the venue.

In that moment, the glowing light sticks in the audience transformed the arena into what felt like a galaxy—an emotional scene that perfectly symbolized the bond between Stray Kids and their fans.

Debuting on March 25, 2018, Stray Kids has built a reputation for powerful performances and self-produced music. This fan meeting reflected their growth over the past eight years, blending energy, creativity, and heartfelt storytelling.

The setlist featured a dynamic mix of songs, including “MIROH,” “Social Path,” and “Haven,” alongside special stages with new unit combinations. These unexpected performances highlighted the group’s versatility and kept fans engaged throughout.

The concert’s concept—designed as a cozy “home” for fans—added another layer of emotional connection. From playful games to interactive segments, Stray Kids made sure every moment felt personal and meaningful.

During the encore, the members walked through the audience, making eye contact and sharing genuine interactions with fans. “Stray Kids and STAY are one family,” they said, promising to return even more love in the future.

Looking ahead, Stray Kids plans to take on major global stages. They include headline appearances at The Governors Ball Music Festival in New York and Rock in Rio in Brazil.

As they step into a bigger global arena, one thing remains clear—Stray Kids and STAY are growing together, stronger than ever.
