\n\tK-pop supergroup Stray Kids<\/a> recreated an ephemeral city built on music and energetic choreography called STRAYCITY on Friday (Sept. 25). The event took place at the GNP Seguros Stadium in Mexico<\/a> City, where they wrap up this weekend the Latin American leg of their tour. The result was a grand celebration attended by approximately 60,000 fans (according to Ocesa), symbolizing the bonds of friendship between South Korea and Mexico.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe return of the group \u2014 made up of Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N. \u2014 to the iconic stadium came 17 months after their debut in the Latin American country at the same venue. And they didn\u2019t come alone: STRAYCITY, a concert designed in a festival style, also featured performances by the South Korean-Japanese band Nexz, as well as Mexican acts Renee and Andr\u00e9s Obreg\u00f3n, who opened the show.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re back in Mexico after a year. Did you miss us? \u00a1No manchen!\u201d said Bang Chan, mixing Korean with Mexican slang, with the help of an interpreter. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis is the venue we visited on the last tour, and over there it says \u2018living is incredible,\u2019\u201d added Hyunjin, pointing to a slogan displayed on one of the stadium\u2019s structures. \u201cI even took a picture of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThousands of Nachimbongs \u2014 Stray Kids\u2019 official light sticks \u2014 illuminated the stands, creating a warm vibe. Fans who didn\u2019t have one of those improvised by using their phone lights to join in. The STAYs \u2014 as Stray Kids\u2019 fans are known \u2014 performed some of the choreographies along with the group, as the stadium roared to the rhythm of hits like \u201cTOPLINE,\u201d \u201cS-Class,\u201d \u201cBounce Back,\u201d \u201cMANIAC,\u201d \u201cDOMINO,\u201d \u201cThunderous\u201d and \u201cDIVINE.\u201d Each track was synchronized with the moves of the dancers accompanying the idols. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe setlist also included \u201cWalkin on Water,\u201d \u201cGod\u2019s Menu,\u201d \u201cChk Chk Boom\u201d and a rock version of \u201cLALALALA.\u201d On the stage, three massive towers that emitted flames lit up in perfect coordination with the fans\u2019 Nachimbongs, creating an immersive atmosphere that elevated every moment of the show.<\/p>\n

\n\tAmong the STAYs in attendance was a very special guest: South Korean president Lee Jae-myung, accompanied by first lady Kim Hye-kyung, who held her Nachimbong high and cheered with the fandom. The South Korean head of state concluded a successful official visit to Mexico this week with a stop that was pure K-pop, featuring one of his country\u2019s most representative musical groups.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLive footage from Stray Kids\u2019 Mexico City performance commemorating the Korea-Mexico summit,\u201d the South Korean president wrote on X<\/a> on Friday, sharing a video of the performance. \u201cYou can truly feel the great power of K-pop, which showcases Korea, the nation of strong culture, to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPresident Lee and the first lady were joined by Claudia Curiel de Icaza, Mexico\u2019s secretary of Culture, who attended with 10 children from vulnerable communities. These kids were gifted tickets to the show, as announced a day earlier by Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLooking at this atmosphere, it seems like no one wants to go home tonight,\u201d Bang Chan told the crowd. \u201cDo you guys not want to leave either? Let\u2019s see how much longer we can go.\u201d He then paused to give some recommendations on how fans should take care of each other and help anyone in need.<\/p>\n

\n\tWith 90 minutes of electrifying performances and a live showcase of their biggest hits, STRAYCITY became the largest concert Stray Kids has ever held in Mexico to date, according to organizers. Stray Kids will return to the GNP Seguros Stadium on Saturday (Sept. 26) for the second night of STRAYCITY, officially concluding their Latin American tour<\/a> after stops in Colombia, Argentina and Brazil.<\/p>\n
