SEOUL, Aug. 1 (Yonhap) -- 

K-pop group Stray Kids has concluded their massive "dominATE" world tour, which covered a travel distance equivalent to circling the Earth seven times.

 

According to their agency JYP Entertainment, the group held the final concert of the tour on Wednesday (local time) at Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Italy.

 

Marking the conclusion of a global tour that began in August last year, Stray Kids delivered a dynamic 180-minute performance featuring their signature hits as well as unit stages from all eight members.

 

Fans packed the Stadio Olimpico, a venue that holds up to 70,000 people, singing along to Korean lyrics and interacting enthusiastically with the group throughout the show.

 

Closing the concert, the members remarked, “We leaned on each other to stand before you, and above all, it was STAY’s [fandom name] energy that carried us through. We hope this concert becomes one of the most memorable scenes in your life.”

 

Through the "dominATE" tour, Stray Kids performed 54 shows across 34 cities in Asia, Oceania, Latin America, North America, and Europe. The agency reported that the total travel distance—measured from Incheon Airport to airports in each tour city—amounted to roughly 285,000 kilometers, equivalent to circling the globe seven times.

 

During the tour, Stray Kids also set a new record at Paris’ Stade de France, drawing a total of 120,000 spectators over two nights—setting the highest attendance for a Korean act at the venue.

 

Additionally, the group became the first K-pop artists to perform at several major global stadiums, including T-Mobile Park in Seattle and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.

 

With the 11-month-long world tour now behind them, Stray Kids is set to release their fourth full-length album, KARMA, on Aug. 22.
