In a recent announcement, JYP Entertainment revealed plans for a pop-up store and cafe dedicated to the popular K-pop group, Stray Kids, set to open in Seoul from March 14 to March 31. The store, named SKZoo’s Magic School, takes inspiration from the animal-themed personas of the eight-member band. This initiative aligns with Stray Kids' upcoming fan meet event scheduled to be held in Seoul from March 29 to March 31, where the members will transform into magicians for the occasion.
Following the Seoul event, Stray Kids is set to embark on their first in-person fan meetup in Japan, with appearances in Osaka on April 6-7 and Saitama on April 27-28. The band's expansion into Japan reflects their growing international presence and the anticipation surrounding their live interactions with fans in the country.
In a notable achievement, Stray Kids' music video for "Circus," the title track from their second EP in Japan, achieved 100 million views on YouTube earlier this month. This milestone marks Stray Kids as the second K-pop group, after BTS, to reach this achievement with a Japanese-language song. Impressively, "Circus" becomes the 13th music video by Stray Kids to attract 100 million views on YouTube, showcasing the group's global appeal and dedicated fanbase.
