Stray Kids have once again proven their strong global presence by taking the stage at one of France’s most prestigious charity events.
On January 22 (local time), Stray Kids attended ‘Le Gala des Pièces Jaunes’ held at Paris La Défense Arena. The annual charity concert is organized by Opération Pièces Jaunes, a French hospital foundation chaired by France’s First Lady Brigitte Macron, and aims to raise funds to support hospitalized children and adolescents.
Stray Kids’ appearance carried special meaning, as they were invited back for a second time, following their historic participation in 2024 as the first K-pop boy group ever to perform
at the event. This year, they shared the stage with global stars such
as G-Dragon, Christina Aguilera, and A$AP Rocky, further highlighting
their international stature.
Opening the show with a commanding introduction worthy of their
“K-pop champions” title, Stray Kids delivered a powerful set featuring “Chk Chk Boom,” “Do It,” “CEREMONY,” and “LALALALA.” Their orchestral rearrangement later stood out in particular,
blending grand symphonic sounds with explosive energy and pushing the
atmosphere to its peak. The members’ intense live vocals and performance
were met with thunderous cheers, massive sing-alongs, and a dazzling
wave of lightsticks filling the arena.
The performance will be broadcast on France 2 and streamed via France
TV’s official YouTube channel on January 30 (KST January 31).
Stray Kids have steadily built a remarkable presence in France over the years. They made history in July 2023 as the first K-pop artist to headline Lollapalooza Paris,
followed by their first appearance at the Pièces Jaunes charity event
in January 2024. In July 2025, the group drew an astonishing 120,000 attendees across two shows at Stade de France during their ‘dominATE’ world tour, marking thelargest K-pop concert ever held in France. Their return to the charity gala this year further cements their influence in the region.
