This is their fifth Gold certification, following '★★★★★ (5-STAR)', '樂-STAR', 'ATE', and '合 (HOP)', further cementing their international appeal.

Stray Kids is set to conclude their world tour 'dominATE : celebrATE' with encore concerts at the Asiad Main Stadium in Incheon on October 18th and 19th. This marks their first stadium concert in Korea after seven years since debut, and tickets were sold out immediately upon general sale. The final performance on the 19th will also be available for online streaming via Beyond LIVE.

Stray Kids, formed by JYP Entertainment, debuted in 2018 and has garnered a significant global following with their unique musical style and powerful performances.
