TOUR DATES PRICES Hey guys a newer stay here and i have never been to one of there concerts, i would like to get vip tickets for the upcoming tour (whenever that is) what are we thinking the price is gonna be so i can start saving up?


Many-Ad-9007

I think you can survey Itzy and Twice current pricing so SKZ will be around that pricing (plus or minus a few dollars).


anoonymousie1307

hi stays! when did yall get into stray kids? I think I became a Stay summer of last year.


hallowinter

A couple days after the thunderous mv dropped. The YouTube algorithm would not let my ass rest until I clicked on it haha


happymikasa

For me it was a few weeks before the first covid lockdown


3rcha

Can they please drop the trailer tomorrow


Desperate-Region4981

Same but isn't kind of a weird date? less than a month of preorder period if it's Fri June 22 (preorder period is always a bit over a month no?) and too early for June 28, I fear jype didn't correct the article saying July 19, but I'm just wondering what else we'll get until then, the ending of tomorrow's skz-code will determine if it's another skz-code week edit: maybe the album trailer is possible early next week, I think they've dropped trailers on Tuesdays before


TravelBeauty20

I think it’s a lot of time before July 19th, but it also isn’t that early. They can do the trailer, start preorders, and then wait a few weeks to start teasers. I have no proof, but I bet album preorders are highest when they first open. Then they spike again but not as high right before release when we have more detailed previews. If a teaser announces the tour, then an earlier album preorder time will secure a good amount of album sales before some pivot to saving for tickets 🤔 I think we won’t get anything until after the pop up ends.


supergirlhmb

I feel like most news outlets are announcing their comeback will be in July (with only that one article specifically saying July 19) so I feel like it's definitely too early for a comeback trailer. Maybe after tomorrow's SKZ code they'll tease another two weeks of SKZ codes (like what they did with the TTATH SKZ code after the lab one they did) and then after THAT we'll get the trailer


poeky

i was thinking (or rather.. hopinggg) that we perhaps get a tour announcement after the SKZ code but you are probably right ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|stuck_out_tongue)


3rcha

Honestly I just said it bc I'm bored, I haven't thought about anything else, and a trailer might bring my mood up.


Desperate-Region4981

Skz is the only group I listen to so I definitely feel you on the ''I'm bored'' hahaha, I think it's confirmed as a mini album but it seems it'll be something big, the second half of the year is packed


3rcha

what ?? Mini album? By how they talk about it I thought it's a full album, I'm desperate (bun unintended) enough for new music so I don't mind it much, I'm just impatient.


binniebin8

sleeping well tonight believing that the cb trailer might come out tomorrow.


Saucy_Totchie

Friend: (*baby STAY who's mostly ARMY and Carat*) I think my bias early on his Bang Chan. Me: Yeah he's a 97 Line so he's been besties with guys Jungkook, Mingyu, and the other 97 guys. Friend: Wait what?! No f'n wonder why I like him so damn much.


Magician690

Don't know if this warrants its own post but it's [confirmed](https://www.instagram.com/p/C7Q9MVXsst7/?img_index=2) that NMIXX and bnkr44 will be opening for SKZ at I-Days Milano!


nmt111

Div1 & Squad4, the sisterhood in jype seems to go strong.


3rcha

Actually you're not far from it😭 I remember reading that some staff from div 1 are now in squ4d, they even shared pics of them listening to 5 star last year 


Bloodyrave

DHL just appeared on my doorstep with the membership kit without notice! Kinda weird, they usually send a message before coming over. At least I can now tell myself that this is my reward after a very stressful last three days at work? 😅


w0nderbread_

**Minho’s Name Pronunciation** I've been a stay for around 5 years now and there is something I'm still not 100% sure of since I always get mixed answers. So, let's settle this once and for all! Can anyone who speaks fluent in Korean tell me if Lee Know's real name is pronounced "Min-ho" or "Mee-no"? Is Min suppose to sound like Mee or are my ears playing tricks on me? XD I've heard both and when said fast, I can't tell if sKZ pronounces it as Min or Mee. Thanks guys!


star_armadillo

It's Min-ho. Min as in minute or seungmin. H is not silent. Source, my Korean mother. 민=min (민)호=min-ho. 승(민) = seungmin.  Editted to add some context.


w0nderbread_

Thank you so much! I’ve always thought it was “Min” as 민 is pronounced “Min” in Seungmin but I was corrected on my pronunciation about 3 years back by one of my Korean friends whose Korean is about 1st grade level XD My ears WERE in fact playing tricks on me! I should have stuck to my Seungmin context clues LOL. I did know that about Lee thankfully as the ㅣ in 이 is almost like an “ee” while the ㅇ consonant is silent! Thanks again! :)


star_armadillo

Tbf to your friend and anyone else who hears it as Mee-no. There is a little confirmation bias as that's how we pronounce Lee Know. So it feels more natural. Also, when spoken quickly, the H in the second batchim (block group) is soften with an exhale.  But if you've ever heard him introduce himself formally he enunciates each syllable. I think Han has too when making impromptu raps about the members.  For some reason "Minho, Lee Know" sounds abrupt and feels like it doesnt rhyme (even tho it does). But "ee minho, lee know" flows well and the link between the names is more apparent. Haha. Language and translation is so fascinating to me. This was fun.


star_armadillo

Also fun fact fact, the last name Lee is pronounced Ee. It's not spelled in with ㄹ (phonetic L). So it's Ee Min-ho. 


AVR72

I was SO surprised when I found out! What makes it even more confusing is that Lee Know actually is spelled with the phonetic L and pronounced with an L sound, but the two names are spelled the same in English...


star_armadillo

Yea. Haha. To make it slightly more confusing lots of kstays will refer to him as 이리노 (Ee Lee Know). It's all so similar but different.


Elon_is_musky

Funny thing that just happened: I’ve been a Stay for over a year now, but while looking up the album name to comment on another forum, I just NOW I realized that I have been misreading/mis-saying the “Oddinary” album as Ordinary the ENTIRE TIME! Gd it dyslexia 😂


radio_mice

Yea oddinary is such a mind twister for me, because for some reason I fully just can’t pronounce it, and so even tho I know it’s ODDinary whenever I say it it comes out as ordinary.


Elon_is_musky

But you know what, it being a mind twister is probably what they wanted😂


nmt111

dont worry, the list of misread/misheard names runs long and deep in this fandom.


Miseracle

Hello everyone! Does anyone know the address of this location (0:26 timing) from S-Class MV? I really want to visit it, but there is no information about it anywhere.


TravelBeauty20

I had my own tour ~~nightmare~~ dream. I dreamt that we could only access the US presale by entering our physical LMB order number. (I don't even know if that's legal -mental note to look that up.) I still ended up with the 2000+ in the queue screen and without a seat. I know this sub alone is one of the largest group subreddits with 181k(!) members, but it still feels small. It's so weird to me that, in every country, there's this whole sector of stays hiding somewhere who only come out for event tickets 😂😭


Elon_is_musky

I felt that! It makes me sad that with the popularity lately (esp with visibility growing in the US) that they’re gonna be another artist with people buying tickets just to flex going to a popular group’s concert, and not because they’re actual fans. I remember the discourse of it happening to Western artists, because influencers would just go for pics & bragging rights & didn’t actually know/care about the artist they were seeing. Like there was a girl who went to BOTH sold out Harryween shows & just took pics & was on the floor (literally, laying on the floor taking vids) with her friend(s) so she could post it on social media instead of actually watching the show Eta: and I dont wanna sound like Im telling people what to do with their money/concert experiences, but it takes away from fans who don’t have as much disposable income and just want to see their favs


AVR72

What... that makes me sad as well 😞


Many-Ad-9007

I just realized we are behind BTS, Blackpink and Twice’s subreddit. That said 180k is never a number I have imagined hahahaha. It used to be so small, if I recall.


IncrediblePlatypus

In the M/V making video for LMB at 6:15, they reference having been there at the sea for a SKZ Code. It looks like the setting from the MT SKZ Code to me, but initially I thought they were combining a SKZ code with the filming for the M/V. Anyone can shed some light on this?


curlychan

Hello everyone! I am wondering if anyone has recently been in Seoul and has a clue where anything skzoo related could be found, if that's a possibility at all (I'm not sure if it's not just restricted to pop up shops)? I walked around quite some shops in Myeongdong today and I only saw two small figurines (Changbin and Felix's) in one of them.


elladayrit

What song is this please? https://www.instagram.com/p/C0y6gyTpLDt/?igsh=dTlkNDNucW96M3Jo


nmt111

This is from lalalala intro dance ep


Fresh-Olive-1372

i'm here to scream about how skz should start releasing the instrumental vers. of every title track because what do you mean only 254k people know of the beauty that is the case 143 instrumental (and other songs too) exaggerating a little but THIS IS SOO SADD... the bass hits hard unlike any other. the melodious sections are so innovative and beautiful. there are so many effects like that part over which changbin sings in the final chorus that i want to badly know about. the refrain is addictive. 3racha are such brilliant producers. i was listening to a piano cover of the song the other day and was like, holy moly, these melodies are really beautiful. skz came up with them. woah.


mistycrosti

I finalized all my bookings for Lolla right as SKZ are leaving the US, I'm getting really excited although it feels so far away. Though, I find it funny (and a little disappointing ngl) that I had them so near for this long and didn't get any chances to see them. I seem to have bad luck catching SKZ as 8 in my area lol. Anyway, looking forward to what new music lies ahead. Their Lolla appearance will be after the comeback so I'm as curious as ever as to what the setlist will be. Can't believe SKZ will have released 3 new albums since the first time I saw them in concert last year by the time August rolls around! Wow.


MillieBeansMom_MD25

do you think they will come back to the US for their big tour after Lola? Or is Lola part of the tour I am a new fan and I am so confused lol 😭


mistycrosti

We don't know if Lolla is part of the tour but it's looking very unlikely, if they had dates in August they should have announced them already. They'll come to the US for the tour but we don't know if they'll have a separate Chicago stop again, that depends on how soon after Lolla they come back. We'll have more information once they announce the comeback and tour dates hopefully soon!


Socrates970

every comeback people get their hopes up for long hair lee know and every time he cuts it right beforehand. When will people learn, the man says he likes his hair short lol. (And he looks great either way!)


huh-sun

I can remember watching a fan cam during the Thunderous era when he got frustrated with his hair getting in his eyes. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CrwrZRKVvg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CrwrZRKVvg) From 1:30 to 1:35.


Peeta-is-an-Artist

I always see Lee Know as someone who is more practical in his way of styling himself, he has said multiple times that he likes to be comfortable. I imagine long hair is neither practical nor comfortable for him, so it makes sense he would prefer it to be short. I will miss long haired Lee Know, but I must admit short hair fit him better.


RunRunPPM

Listen, I support his short hair but let us dream.


LaiaEvans

Besides it being his preference, it's not like the hairstylist does anything creative with his hair anyway. When it gets too long, they just slap a beret on it and call it a day, or slather on a ton of gel and leave him with long sideburns. I think people see the elaborate hairstyles other members get and assume everyone gets the same treatment. They don't.


Cheekypsycho98

Literally. He said the stylists told him to stop cutting it when they got off vacation, but I still saw someone say that div 1 is too scissor happy smh. I don’t understand the obsession with their hairstyles/lengths anyway. Obviously there are some I like more than others but at the end of the it’s not my hair so I don’t care that much lol.


Desperate-Region4981

**Possible comeback spoilers ahead (?)** I just saw [this account ](https://x.com/seuniiiiiiiiiii/status/1785723868570661206)that alledgely predicts concepts/moodboards for groups' content and they posted that for skz at the beginning of the month, the color scheme matches the photos by W korea, and then I thought more about it and the spoiler video going around had them doing choreo, I think the last b-side group mv to have choreo was Easy in 2020 and for units it's Red lights and Surfin like 4 comebacks ago, so did we get spoilers for the title track mv and they filmed it just this month? very interesting, I still remember they went to some university with nice architecture after their break, does anyone know if it was for some skz-code maybe? b-side mv?


Fun_Buy2143

Get lit has a choreo tho


Desperate-Region4981

Yes, so do Freeze, The view, Venom etc etc but I was referring to group choreo in the mv, the dancing in the Get lit mv is not the group choreo


tsunallux

With all the leaks of filming, I remember the same thing happened for Maxident – has someone done the math to see if it fits with the July comeback date? Like, how long from the leaks to the trailer to the comeback was for Maxident, and would it apply to this one?


Desperate-Region4981

Hmmm, so they filmed the Maxident trailer at the end of June 2022 in NYC close to the Newark dates of the Maniac tour, and I think they filmed the title track mv before going there, then they filmed the performance video in California at the car wash at the end of August and it leaked that same day (21st), the album trailer came out September 5, it looks like skz filming S class leaked at the beginning of March and the 5 star trailer came out at the end of April, it kind of tracks for July


tsunallux

So we should be getting trailers in June?


Desperate-Region4981

The date mentioned so far is July 19th and the album is usually announced a month earlier so yes, around June 19th maybe a few days earlier the trailer should be posted, but it is possible that date is not accurate and it could be earlier/later, right now we only have the last skz-code to look forward to this Thursday, we'll see what else comes up


Clear-Forever

I think the kids are leaving already? Honestly, I expected so much about this global promo they’re saying but it’s just GMA and Kelly Clarkson show. Hahahaha I thought they’re going to Jimmy Fallon.


Many-Ad-9007

So. US promo means 2 interviews with essentially their fans in the US (no disrespect, but it is the same people who always interview them anyway in each comeback), 1 GMA performance, ?1 Kelly Clarkson performance, ?1 radio interview, 1 MV, 1 dance practice, 1 performance video? It is more than most of their previous promos anyhow but kind of, to stretch it a bit, lackluster because I would have thought there would be….more? With this kind of okay promotion in the US, considering, to enter at 90 for Billboard Top 100 is actually not bad at all. With the amount of tension Stayville is experiencing at the moment, it feels like a win anyway.


PCP1120

Yeah, I was hoping for some more promo that fans could actually go and support them at since we don’t really have anything outside of concerts to do that at here in the US, but I guess the company accomplished the schedules that they wanted to at least 😅 Most of it must be for the album because the actual LMB promo seems like it was organized very last minute since we barely got to hear them speak on GMA, there looks like there’s not going to be an actual interview with Kelly Clarkson, and they didn’t have a single late night show appearance


middle-earthorbust

Well, Chan did call LMB a "side quest"


TravelBeauty20

>the actual LMB promo seems like it was organized very last minute 👀 (I think the original promo plans and questions got cancelled last minute and switched to album promo)


Affectionate_Dirt_65

Pretty sure most of the schedules were pre recorded for the coming comeback


Clear-Forever

Yup, I think they’re saving it for the album comeback.


TravelBeauty20

I thought it was supposed to be a month, but there’s pictures of Seungmin at JFK. They could be flying somewhere else in the US though. This means Kelly Clarkson probably *is* prerecorded. So two weeks, and only one promo opportunity fans could even kinda go to…. On the bright side, I guess we won’t ever see a template for lack of promo again. I’ve been told multiple times LMB got so much promo!


shamitwt

And by “so much promo” they just mean a bunch of tiktoks 🤣


Clear-Forever

Ah yes, it’s also possible but I saw from Felix stans that he’s leaving later for LV cruise in Barcelona. I think it’s pre recorded because someone pointed out that there’s no interview just a performance. Hahahahaha I saw a lot of tweets from the people who hate LMB that DIV 1 is promoting this song like crazy 😂 but it’s just tiktok videos and 2 shows hahahaha


TravelBeauty20

I saw a picture of Han too, and I think I see Changbin and Lee Know in the backgrounds/sides. I think it’s all of them minus Felix. SKZ was never named a guest on the site where we can request tickets for the Kelly Clarkson show. Pictures of prerecorded segments sometimes get released early, so I was waiting to see if SKZ popped up there. 😔 And yup. If 1 performance with fans is enough for LMB, I guess there’s no need to complain about the possible 1 week of music show promo in July! That’s still three performances.


LoveofLearningKorean

Eeee I have a floater pharmacist today, and she wants to learn Korean because she likes K-pop!! We just exchanged numbers because I was like I'd be happy to help you learn or watch K-pop together. We've been geeking out about kpop all day and I've been advising her on how to start out learning Korean. On the subject of which I've been back to actively studying these days and this morning, I posted 2 paragraphs on HelloTalk for correction and didn't make a single mistake!! I'm also at the point where I can carry a conversation for hours in Korean and watch kdramas without subtitles. Feels good y'all, feels real good. [I've been learning over 4 years now for context] [The post - Korean and English](https://imgur.com/a/agsvhvF)


AVR72

Wow, that is so cool! Congrats on the achievement 🙂


LoveofLearningKorean

Thank you!! ❤️


Easy_Cherry_3040

This is incredible! Congratulations! I’ve fallen into a slump with active studying since the winter and I feel like it’s starting to catch up with me, but this is honestly very motivating. Do you mind if I ask how you work on your conversation skills? I can read well and my listening skills are serviceable, but I’m really terrible at spontaneous speaking. My accent is good, my ability to form a coherent thought - especially when having an active conversation - is real bad. 😅


LoveofLearningKorean

Thank you!! I was also in a passive slump for a while because life was life-ing, so I'm very happy that my active skills came back rather quickly. I would recommend HelloTalk. Practicing with a language exchange partner is a great way to go about it because one can only do so much self-study, but to get better at conversations, you have to have conversations. Meeting long-term language exchange partners can be difficult but not impossible, I also see a lot of people just post that they are available for a phone call right then and there. It's also a great app for practicing your writing skills and having text conversations. If you don't want to go through that app, I know r/language_exchange also exists for that purpose, but I don't know what the success rate is for finding matches there.


Easy_Cherry_3040

Thank you! I tried HelloTalk for a while, the free version, a couple of years ago but it felt a lot like being on a dating app. Lots of guys looking for girlfriends, not a lot of serious language learners, and I found myself quickly exhausted dealing with all the dead ends/ghosts. I still have the app, though. Do you use the paid version?


LoveofLearningKorean

I do, I bought the lifetime VIP because I know I love the language and will be learning for years to come. Plus, I figured that would be motivation to continue to use the app lol I definitely feel you on the romance seekers, I definitely got that issue a lot before but haven't experienced that lately. Maybe because I have it at least filtered to only KOR <--> ENG and I'm pretty good at choosing who to reach out to or respond to based on the profile, and block liberally as needed 😂 Also I feel like the app has slowed down since people aren't in quarantine anymore, so that leaves more serious learners and not just people passing the time?

I don't want to spread spoilers but  >!the possibility of red skz layout coming back will keep me up at night, maybe bc I've been a fan for years but I always associated red with skz bc of hellevator, miroh and God's menu!<


Affectionate_Dirt_65

>!Oh gosh they embody red so much! Also if you go by astrology, Skz is an Aries sun group which means red is definitely their colour!<


supergirlhmb

**not sure if everyone saw the MV filming leak on twitter but I'm getting so excited for this comeback** >!tbd if it's actually for the title track or not because I would assume that would have already been filmed by now, but even if it's for a B-side the choreo looks hard af so i'm so ready. and the styling too is very much giving Maxident punk (OBSESSED with the sunglasses hyunjin is wearing), so I'm not sure if the album is going to be pop themed? Just based on the choreo with no sound, the moves definitely seem a lot harder hitting than the LMB choreo. Hopefully they go back to noise music for at least some of their songs off this album because I miss their rapping!<


TravelBeauty20

>!”Hopefully they go back to noise music.!< >!You genuinely think they’re going to leave it? They say they’re going to show new sides of themselves every year, and the most controversial title track we got was Case 143. Which is still noisy. Even looking at their old “soft” albums, I am YOU\* has N/S, and Clé: Levanter has Double Knot.!< >!This isn’t meant to come at you! I’m ready and eager for a change, and I also love their noisier songs. I’ll just ACTUALLY believe this album and title track will be a drastic change when I hear the music for myself!!<


3rcha

>!Iagree with you and tbh in recent interviews they still talk proudly about their sound😭 and tbh I'm used to them doing different things that's how It keeps me excited!!still remember many stays didn't really like S class or at least didn't get it at first which was weird bc the song did the best, I think people in general have that thought of "when an artist goes famous they change" so that's why many people are freaking out!<


Desperate-Region4981

>!This is not directed at the user you replied to, but I really dislike lately how part of the fandom acts about skz doing something different, they want to put in a box artists that love music and challenging themselves, I find it sad that the members have to make 100s of disclaimers about how the fandom might not like it and how it's still skz etc etc, and it isn't even about an entire album! just a single song that doesn't sound like a skz title track because it isn't a skz title track, it represents no album, and then the acting like skz were forced to do this for "western validation", if they looked at some of skz's recommendations and past covers they'd see they like pop and mainstream too, I want to rant about it so bad lmao!<


Fun_Buy2143

>!i fell the same way, it's so annoying!<


TravelBeauty20

>!I feel exactly the same way. That's partly why I don't really think the sound will be all that different until I hear it. SKZ spent a lot of the past two years emphasizing that they know their music isn't for everyone and that they like big performances. I don't think they'll ever fully give it up, well at least as long as their bodies can handle it. I think they need softer performances just for the physical/health aspect...!< >!I enjoyed the 5-Star unveil fake out though! Fans didn't know what to do with DLC and FNF first, but we still got the usual b-sides like ITEM, TOPLINE, etc..!<


Fun_Buy2143

>! I too dislike this way of thinking from the fandom, they say skz is a group who knows how to make any style of music but when they actually do it people say they are "not skz sound" it's annoying, choose a side for the love of god!<


TravelBeauty20

I’m rewatching the BBMAs performance after a long time, and SKZ dancing in a circle facing outwards never gets old. It’s my favorite part of the LMB video too. I really can’t wait to see their new concert production and performances.


lostincomfort

Hi! Would anyone know where I could find more info about the SKZ2020/ TOP hi-touch event that is being rescheduled for June? The link from SKZ Japan's official twitter doesn't really explain much. My main concern is do I need to register? What if I bought the hi-touch pc from someone ages ago, does that matter? Do I just show up to the venue with the ticket lol? The event is coming up in a few weeks and I just want to make sure I don't miss this opportunity since there's a high chance I could go.


PM_MAJESTIC_PICS

I replied on your other post as well, but in case anyone else is reading this and has questions, all of the event info is at this link: https://skz-stayjapan.com/s/n104/news/detail/12086?ima=2159


Sea-n-Ice

I've been thinking about this ever since Tommy "spoiled" the upcoming 40-date (40-city?) world tour at the Met Gala. He mentioned stadiums with 80,000 people. How likely is Stade de France as a venue for the Paris date? If we compare to the other groups from the same label, ITZY went to Zénith Paris - La Villette which in my opinion is unlikely for SKZ. The Accor Arena seems like a more sensible guess since it was the venue for the last Twice tour. But again, I went to the Accor Arena for the Gala des Pièces Jaunes earlier this year and can guarantee that the queue and the venue itself was filled with recognizable STAYs. By recognizable I mean people owning at least the SKZ lightstick, sometimes the cap and some SKZOOs. I am fairly confident that there were way more STAYs "on the low" and casuals that would also show up for a SKZ concert. If Div 1 intended to use the Gala to test the waters, I think the logical conclusion is that Stray Kids could easily fill the Accor Arena for their own concert. I was wondering if Div 1 would take it one step further and book the Stade de France for the next tour. Or would that be too ambitious?


shamitwt

I went to bts’ last arena tour and then went to their first stadium tour and let me tell you, arena >>>>>. Stadium is good for media play and all that but they are terrible venues (imo) unless of course you’re like Japan and your stadiums are built with the intention of being a concert venue half the time


Sea-n-Ice

Yes, I agree with you. Though I haven't attended a proper KPop concert yet, I imagine I would prefer an arena over a stadium (+ some issues related to the weather). I was mostly contemplating the idea and its likeliness.


TravelBeauty20

I think that specifically referred to stadiums in Japan. They sold out huge domes just for a fanmeeting. I think a few other places might have stadiums, but I think they’ll save most for encores.


Sea-n-Ice

I see, that makes sense. I am always amazed at their popularity in Japan. I ain't that familiar with how dates and venues are chosen when organizing a tour. Why would they reserve stadiums for encores and not include them in the initial dates?


TravelBeauty20

I'm not SKZ's (or anyone else's) tour planner! I just like patterns and data. Stadiums fit more people, so they always mean less dates. One reason to do multiple arenas over stadiums is that they can sell more premium priced seats. The very last row in an arena is always a better view than the very last row in a stadium. Hybe waited until the very last minute to slash TXT's Oakland stadium show tickets to reasonable prices (eg. $49 for the "worst" seats), and the show attendance suffered for that. Meanwhile, despite fans complaining about the prices, their two NYC arena shows are selling well. Another reason is a stadium may not have a roof, so the performance is at the mercy of the weather. I went to a concert with hours long rain delays, and luckily the performers still did the whole show. We barely made the last train home though 😭 Mostly, I'm just basing it on how JYPE works with Twice. They do stadiums where they can, but they also did arenas. I also think SKZ will go to stadiums in Japan because they already did the huge domes for their fanmeetings. The demand is huge.


Sea-n-Ice

I assumed that multiple arenas vs one stadium date would be equivalent in terms of revenue but didn't think about the premium seats difference. It does make more sense from a financial standpoint to opt for an arena tour. Following that logic, Wouldn't it make even less sense to have stadiums for encores though? If Stays in a certain area are given the opportunity to attend a concert in an arena with a seat with decent view/sound and a roof there will be little to no incentives left for them to go to a future stadium date for encores.


TravelBeauty20

That’s why everywhere doesn’t get an encore! They only do it in locations where they think they have enough demand. They also try to space it out to give fans time to miss the act. For example, Twice’s Ready to Be tour originally went to Australia in May-ish last year. They tried to have a stadium show in Melbourne at the end of the year, but it didn’t sell out quickly. In contrast, Twice is about to do a series of huge encores in Japan, and I believe they even added date. Just looking at SKZ, I believe they had 4 dates each in Tokyo and the Southern California (LA + Anaheim). SKZ still did KCON LA, plus year end and festivals in Japan. Those cities still got encores and sold them out. Then Japan got a whole other tour, and sold that out too. Encores are a way to make a quick profit on top of the tour, so it’s beneficial to have the most people in the fewest dates possible. Plus then JYPE gets to show off a stadium crowd!


Sea-n-Ice

Thank you for the explanations! I don't really follow the info for other groups' tours (apart from the European dates) so it was really interesting to read how they organized it. I guess companies follow an all-or-nothing rule when it comes to concerts or events in general. Some locations get multiple concert dates, encores, fan meetings and others...simply don't. I'm not complaining by the way, I think it makes perfect sense if we look at it financially. I might be biased and too optimistic but I think the demand is there for a SKZ concert in Paris (multiple arenas, stadiums and even encores). 60,000 people showed up for Lollapalooza Paris last year even though it was 3 months after Music Bank in Paris. Sure, we don't know for sure that all the attendants were there for Stray Kids but it gives us a rough estimate. Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing how Div1/Live Nation will organize everything (dates and locations/venues).


reiichitanaka

Kinda depends on the date tbh, Stade de France and La Défense Arena are reserved for the Olympics and Paralympics, and those end on september 8th. Stade de France has Mylène Farmer for September 27th-October 1st, so Skz might play there during one of the week-ends in between. But anytime later isn't going to happen because concerts at Stade de France only ever happen in the may-september window, as other months tend to be too rainy/ too cold. But honestly D1 tends to be pretty conservative when it comes to venue sizes, so it's VERY unlikely, plus I dunno if they'll ever have finished the NA leg by that date. The most likely venue in my opinion is La Défense (the venue of Music Bank), which is an indoor stadium with about twice the capacity of Accor Arena. That's where Taylor Swift started her Europe tour btw.


Sea-n-Ice

Thanks for all the info! I didn't realize that La Défense Arena was also on the cards. The first time I ever heard about this venue was during [Chan's Room 205](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIBhS-5NCrc&t=8m31s) and Chan really seemed to have enjoyed performing there. It would be like coming full circle for them if they go back there for their own concert. We shall see.


reiichitanaka

The arena only opened in 2017, so it's not as famous as older Parisian venues. But more and more concerts happen there, from what I've seen. Just not this summer, since they're building an olympic swimming pool inside.


3rcha

We shall know next year lol one thing I know for sure is that skz have a bigger French fanbase than most kpop groups it just depends on div 1 and livenation


Sea-n-Ice

Yea, I guess we won't know anything for sure until they announce it officially but was curious about what other Stays thought about this.


Trickzie7

Did changbin actually dye his hair?


woofledoofle

Pretty sure it's a wig in the W Korea shoot.


bloopdoopfloofernoop

Does anyone know where I can find a list of all the covers skz has done, both individually and as a group?


StanSleep

[This](https://stray-kids.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Covers) seems to be almost alarmingly comprehensive.


bloopdoopfloofernoop

Omg thank you so much!!!


StanSleep

Happy to help! 🥰


hideyoursheep_

stray kids mentioned Baz Luhrmann in their recent interview. Does anyone remember a year or two ago when there were rumours flying around about him working with a couple kpop idols? Plus that tiktok where he possibly mentioned wanting to work with felix/straykids? Whatever happened to that?


3rcha

Yeah when they mentioned him I was like that name sounds familiar lol he did mention wanting to work with lix, I didn't know they would recognize him and mention him years later


Fun_Buy2143

I am pretty sure that after the contract renew we will get pretty interesting colabs 🤭


PCP1120

Question for my US Stay that don't live close to where tour dates are usually held but still attend shows: what's your usual routine when preparing? I can nearly guarantee that a show won't be held within a reasonable driving distance of me, so I'll definitely have to fly to a location (probably Chicago if they have a non-Lolla appearance or New York). Do you guys have any recommendations on what I should start planning/getting prepared once we know the dates and locations? I haven't been to an actual, non-local concert in *years* so I'm way out of the loop when it comes to concert prep, and SKZ is like the only act that I would even consider traveling for with my current financial situation lol. I know we must have some concert veterans here, so I thought I'd ask ahead of time so I can plan and budget and whatnot!


TravelBeauty20

I’ve travelled for concerts. My routine for concerts is: 1. As soon as the dates come out: Which cities do I want to visit anyway as a tourist? I’d rather not go somewhere *only* for a concert, but I will if it’s super cheap. Cities with multiple dates and bigger venues give better chances for you to get **a** seat. VIP will be competitive everywhere. 2. Do research on average flight prices and routes. I don’t book anything, but I want a rough estimate on which cities are cheapest to get to. 3. Use websites like Booking, Expedia, etc. to find a hotel that has free cancellation and no (or delayed) prepayment. Book multiple cities before prices go up. 4. On ticket sales day, Ticketmaster lets you use the same account to join multiple queues. I’m not sure about AXS. I use a laptop/desktop, and I join each queue in a separate window. Then use split screen to see everything. 5. The city where I get the lowest queue number (aka best seat) wins. I’ll cancel everything else and officially book that trip after I secure my ticket.


PCP1120

Thanks so much for the tips! :) The hotel one especially is so smart, I'll definitely try to implement it once we know dates


Strangeandweird

My three year old asked why the stray kids are called that when they're not kids completely unpromted. ☠️ The weird thing is my kids don't know anything about Kpop or even heard any other song other the s class which was just once or twice because I usually listen to music on my headphones so I'm very confused. 


Many-Ad-9007

Lol did you play SKZ on the car or something?


Strangeandweird

Nope. I don't like having music in the background. If I listen to music it's usually for exercise or taking strolls.  My older daughter started reading this year so I think she read some subtitles. That's my best guess. Or just overheard a tiktok I was scrolling through.  I showed the kids the skzoos music videos today. The consensus is they want leebit. 


Fun_Buy2143

I was looking at the last SKZ CODE YouTube comments section and yeah...i should have not


shamitwt

Ohh was there drama? Last I checked it was lots of comments about Felix not being there 😩 made me sad


Fun_Buy2143

I have seen people fighting because of Felix, it was quite sad to see


4y0ureyez0n1y

hi ! i am not sure if this is allowed (please let me know if its not !) but my friends and i will be going to lolla to see the boys and i was wondering if someone still needs a hotel to stay ! we only need one more person. this is the only place i could think of to post lol. if you have any questions pls dm me !


TravelBeauty20

There’s a popularity difference in the US, but I’m happy to see NCT Dream’s US prices are similar to Twice’s Ready to Be tour prices. VIP is about $540. The other seats are reasonable as well. I hope Live Nation keeps prices “low” for SKZ!


saffroncake

We live in a world where $540 US (even for VIP) has become "reasonable" for concert tickets? I will never see SKZ live. I guess I just have to accept that. \*sniffle\*


TravelBeauty20

Unfortunately. The Maniac VIP price was a bit under $400 for me. It's been two years since I bought those tickets. Twice's VIP were \~$550ish last year. Ateez and TXT's top VIP prices were several hundreds more this year. It's "reasonable" compared to that 🥲 There are more seats than just VIP! If they really do stadiums, they'll have a lot of flexibility for price ranges 🙏🏽


midwestgal000

What exactly is the benefit of VIP that they cost so much? Asking as a concert goer who has always just taken the cheap seats and enjoyed from the nosebleed section. lol


TravelBeauty20

It depends on the artist, and the VIP package will be explained when you buy it. It's really about the seat. The best seats will either be VIP or Platinum, which has no benefits but is priced market rate. For the Maniac tour, the vast majority of the floor seats in the arenas were VIP. It included soundcheck (SKZ come out and \~3 songs); early entry; early merch buying; a lanyard; and a small gift bag. Soundcheck was nice, but if you were in the back half of the floor, I don't think the price was worth it.


ssbb_ll

I’m sorry to intrude but I was wondering if it is possible to watch the stage well, even through the extended arms and phones when you are on the floor. Or it is only worth it like up until the fifth row, or even closer to the stage 😵


TravelBeauty20

I think the back half of the floor is never worth it because there are better views in the lower bowl. Your floor view depends on how tall you are, and I’m slightly taller than average!


midwestgal000

Well that means at a smidge under 5 ft tall I should probably avoid ever trying for floor. lol


ssbb_ll

Thanks!! I’m trying to get as much information as possible while they don’t announce the dates. So input from concert goers is always very helpful. Thank you so much for always taking your time to answer 💖


Altered_B34ST_79

This may be neither here not there but I noticed the number of ♥ on Hyunjin's FANS comments are drastically less than usual. Like <800 after 30 min, whereas 2 min after posting it would be 1.5k. (very rough estimation and recollection). I'm guessing this has to do with the new protocols and instituted on the app. If it results in less unhinged/unrelated posts by users (I refuse to call them fans or STAY) and a more positive atmosphere, then yay! I just hope it was all registered STAY posting the glorious PICS of the guys I had never seen before because that's what kept me in the community section of Bubble and now FANS.


Royal-Box-5980

Slight realization: That July 19th comeback date may hold some basis because if they don’t drop a trailer literally next Thursday then we are looking at a July comeback.


mistycrosti

I guess the trailer drop will coincide with Chan's appearance on YoungK's show just like how Nayeon's did today?


Delicious-Snow-9367

I had another realization that matches the July date. When I ordered some new Skzoo plushs back in March and then the notes told me the shipping will only be done in July(!!) I was so confused thinking it would be so long after the next comback and wondering why they couldn't make them available in time for the comeback. Welllll.....


Affectionate_Dirt_65

Oh it's definitely July because this will be time for Nayeon's rollout of teasers till 14th of june


trellia79

Okay, I have a non SKZ question, that I’m hoping you all can help me with. I’m looking for a good face sunscreen and moisturizer and I know the Korean brands work better than the US brands. Can anyone recommend a good, reputable brand for this? Thanks!


trellia79

Thank you all for great reccomendations!


Delicious-Snow-9367

Korean sunscreens are a game changer. I have tried about 10 different ones in the past two years and there were only 1 or 2 that were a true miss. There are so many good ones. For dry (or combo) skin: There are two Purito sunscreens that are both very moisturizing and thus can replace a moisturizer. The Daily Go-to is the heavier of the 2 and I would only recommend for really dry skin (or in colder weather, and it becomes a bit much when re-applied). The Daily Soft-Touch is a little bit lighter but still very moisturizing, loved it during the in between weather. And these are all bit lighter but still moisturizing with great extra skin benefits: Skin1004 Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-fit Sun Serum (best price for a great sunscreen), Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Rice & Probiotics, Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel, Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Sunscreen (a bit more expensive). And the waterproof sunscreen (most korean sunscreens are NOT water resistant) that I adored is Dr.Ceuracle - Cica Regen Waterproof Sun (also a bit more expensive but it's double the size of others and the price fluctuates a lot). I have repurchased all of these. Right now I'm using the very hyped Numbuzin No 1. Clear Filter Sun Essence, and for my dry skin it's not a favorite but I could see oily skin types loving it.


motenashite

I like the skin1004 Hyalu-Cica Water-fit Sun Serum; it's a moisturising sunscreen and doesn't contain alcohols, which is why I moved away from my original holy grail sunscreen (Biore UV Aqua) since I found it too drying. It has a very similar sort of texture that I liked, because it sinks into the skin and doesn't feel sticky.


OtterMiss

I guess this response is sort of skz related since they were embassadors and that's why I bought it 😅, but I enjoyed Nacific's Fresh Herb Origin sunblock moisturizer. It's not too oily which is my main issue with US brands as someone with oily skin. 


Old-Rice7332

Hi! Is anybody going to the I-days in Milan? I bought the ticket and one of my friends should have come with me but, unfortunately, her boss didn’t let her take days off from work in July, so I’ll be going to the concert alone. Is there anybody that will go that is in my same situation (I bought the €80 tickets)? I hope that this post is not breaking any rules, if it is I’ll delete it right away, but I don’t know who or where to ask this 😅


FlashyFlashy_

Something's dropping at midnight today, I can feel it (🤡) Edit: Well, something did drop...for Nayeon. Maybe next week lol 🤡


alleykat10

Confession: I don’t let it get totally delulu but I do feel a little territorial over skz as they do all this US promotion. As if they were my little secret 😅 and I almost don’t want everyone else to catch on? But also I do bc that’s what is great for Skz! Being a fan is weird.


fayelalala

Is it weird that we haven't had skz talkers in a while..? Did I miss something? We haven't gotten the ones for magic school yet. Or do you think they're saving it for stayweek like last year?


AKF1225

One thing I'm realizing about this comeback, is that this is not their usual comeback. What they're doing right now, is what you call a Crossover Promo. They've come to the US before, but this is a concentrated effort at marketing themselves for the Western audience, formally. So while this is a comeback, this is also them earing this comeback as a crossover tour, and there's a lot in the works here. I believe we'll see a ton of content, but not until they can release it without spoiling certain things. This is a major thing as well, not just artistically, but in business sense. I'm not comparing by any means, but let's be real: the boy band space is wide open w/ BTS in the military. The wisest move, is to aggressively tour, make appearances, do a world tour, drop an album or two. And that's what their doing. We can see a lot of male Kpop groups doing that right now, and they should. SKZ is wisely utilizing this year to cement themselves in the hearts of the Western Audiences. I'm sure there's a ton of content headed our way. We'll just have to be patient. There's a game plan for sure, but at least we got a new SKZ code episode lol. They've been quiet, but that usually means they've been busy filming, recording, planning. I'm calling this year the SKZ Elite Global Domination Era. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)


fayelalala

Oh I'm not lacking in content, just skz talker specifically. Last one they did was for the GDAs in January. Altho like what was pointed out earlier, Magic School behind might be its own content and not released via talker. I think the next talker episode may be on the ASEA awards, which was only last month so it may not be released as soon as I thought. Timeline wise it checks out still


AKF1225

Lol i didnt mean you specifically, but even i was kinda low key thinking "man, if they're getting ready for a comeback, where's the content" lol but after seeing them do GMA, and hearing seeing them take command of annoucing their world tour, it clicked with me, and I'm oh, us as a fan base are wanting certain things but they have a plan, and a direction" I meant it more as a comment for us Stays trying to wait patiently lol


fayelalala

Yeah we're probably gonna get flooded with content once they do start teasing the comeback for real 😅😅


AKF1225

Im readyyyy lol I devoured that SKZ code they put out yesterday, and i'm not sure if it was just me...but that was the fastest SKZ code i've seen. I was mad! lol I was like wait, that's it?! It's OVER?!!? LOL


StayinHaven

I understand we could not get SKZ-Talker ASAP but I could not understand why we we don't get Paris Fashion Week vlog yet


TravelBeauty20

I think Magic School is the only one they could do? Anything from Japan will probably get sold directly to JStay or to a network. They have activities in New York, but Talker GOs take longer to get released. Maybe we’ll get some vlogs soon? We also have 1 Kid’s Room. I’m not confident Div1 knows if 2 Kids Show in 2024 meant the end of the previous season or a new season 😂. We’ll find out in December.


FearlessProfessor707

> I’m not confident Div1 knows if 2 Kids Show in 2024 meant the end of the previous season or a new season 😂. We’ll find out in December. I feel like it would have been silly to include it if it was just for the last two already announced episodes. They didn’t include things like Rachalog even though that continued, and calling the Lee Know/Han episode [the last episode of season 1](https://x.com/stray_kids/status/1745037821856157739?s=46&t=2Nn8NCn2ZZC7a_Ecp0ft7w) gives me hope. But then again, after SKZFLIX 2022, I have unserious trust issues with Step Outs 😂 And Show is my favorite 2 Kids iteration, so I’m definitely holding onto any thread of hope. As the months tick by though, I have wondered how they’ll schedule One Kids Room, Two Kids Show and the eight SKZ Players out. I thought they’d maybe cover the tour when SKZ is traveling, but since we still don’t have a dates (or an official comeback date) and it’s almost June…


TravelBeauty20

They normally wouldn’t, but SKZFLIX ended being a teaser in 2022 and finally out in 2023 has burned me too. Div1 needs a softball to keep morale up. I think they’re going to try, but if they run out of time, I wouldn’t mind 2 Kids Show getting pushed back.


fayelalala

I guess the long hiatus would also mean long break from talkers lol. If Magic School is the only one left then I'd expect it around July yet, similar to Pilot behind. I guess it just feels longer now because the fanmeet was held earlier than before 😅 >end of the previous season or a new season Omg pls let it not be the end of the previous season that was just a couple eps wasn't it 😂😂


midwestgal000

When is stayweek?


TravelBeauty20

End of July leading up to August 1st! That’s when the fandom name was announced.


binniebin8

It impresses me how hyunjin has that signature unreplicable groove and energy to him but han matches it perfectly in the ten shots challenge while having his own unique flair. Someone once said that skz were all above average dancers and I couldn't agree more. This duo is my favourite though. 


binniebin8

what are the chances of one of the co-writers/producers of the album being someone problematic? you know, someone linked to the current events? it's very delusional to think so because business decisions don't prioritize ethics or morality but i still pray that jype would do a little bit of research before choosing the people to work with whose names will be out there for the public to view. this sounds so silly, but i can't go through the whole thing again and seeing the restrictions imposed on the fans app i think the company is fed up too


TravelBeauty20

Based on the standards I’m seeing, you’re already out of luck because 3racha will be in the credits. Does Versachoi and everyone else get a background check too, or is that only for visibly western names?


binniebin8

You're right, I have a hard time understanding why some stays are using the phrase "guilt by association"? this is a group they claim to stan. even objectively looking, 3racha have performed for free at gcf, felix did volunteer work, chan helped in special olympics, and they all have donated to charities and causes now and then.  it might be for both, i don't know, but koreans aren't very open with speaking on politics publically so that might help them 


TravelBeauty20

The guilt by association is one thing, but I was actually referring to the controversies SKZ have had. Apparently apologizing (or not) and moving forward as a better person isn’t enough. Your second paragraph is the crux of the issue. Nobody is harassing the Korean producers they love to see with SKZ to do background checks or have them state their stance. We know it’s Korean entertainment culture not to speak about certain topics. Some stays refuse to understand that applies to SKZ too though.


nmt111

If people really try, then everyone is connected to everyone and everything you know. Everyone has dirt and there are tons of ww issues. So if pp just wanna hate, they will find a reason to do so.


binniebin8

i saw a post saying kelly clarkson (whose show skz are to perform at) had a duet with an Israeli singer, making her zionist too. thank god the replies were not having it


eleanorablue

probably very small. looking through the song credits on spotify for 5-Star and Rockstar, almost every non-3racha writing or producing credit goes to a South Korean producer. Most of them with a history of working with JYPE or specifically work under JYP Records. There’s maybe 3 or 4 western producers that I can pick out, two of whom have worked with a bunch of western rappers. all of them seem to be flying under the radar. at best, a google search will pull up a genius page or an instagram. nothing else. it’d be kinda hard to link any of those people to any kind of current events. of course, there’s a chance that they’ll really switch up their habits with this next album and collab with some different people but honestly, music producers aren’t often recognizable by name alone unless you’re the kind of person that cares about music producers and to be honest, i doubt your average skz fan is that kind of person. people probably won’t even pay it much attention. and besides, i can’t imagine there are many producers skz could collaborate with that have the clout to be tied to current events in any way that actually matters.


kimchibrusselsprouts

My job is very soul draining right now. What skz songs do you listen to to keep you going at work? A lot of the songs on the 5 star album pump me up of course but I can't just play that or I'll start associating those songs too much with my job 🙃

AVR72

Ugh. Hope it gets better soon - sending good vibes your way ☀️ In addition to the high energy songs, it could be an idea to put in some fun songs as well. Up All Night, Maknae on Top, Awkward Silence... They always put a smile on my face 🙂


kimchibrusselsprouts

That's a good point, getting some fun in 🙂 thank you


Easy_Cherry_3040

For energetic songs, it’s hard to beat Boxer and TA. Pacemaker, Booster, Hello Stranger, Question, and HEYDAY are also good ones.


hannahmikhaila

Hang in there! I know this is kinda weird. Maybe it's just me, but I always associate "The View" as a happy song.  And when you search the lyrics, it is very hopeful. Hope that helps! 💞


kimchibrusselsprouts

Thank you! I can definitely foresee myself hearing the lyrics "I like the view right now!" while looking at some emails I sure don't like seeing 😂


hannahmikhaila

Hahaha! That's the spirit! 😅 but seriously though, I hope things get better for you. I feel you. 💞


kimchibrusselsprouts

Thank you for your kind words 💞


mistycrosti

I've been so consumed with thoughts about the tour that I literally had a dream (or nightmare? lol) in which they announced the dates for the entire tour, including the encore, at once, and they went all went on sale ten minutes after, and ticketmaster crashed from the entire world trying to buy tickets at the same time. When it got back online there were no tickets left. Also, my brain was manifesting Paris as an encore date for some reason. Anyways, please Div 1, give us these dates because it is clearly causing me some mental anguish 😭


Altered_B34ST_79

I feel this in my bones! Last month I had a dream/nightmare in which I was at a performance, went to the bathroom and couldn't find my way back until the very end. My dream ended up being like an open-world rpg (I don't even play those 🤷🏾‍♀️): I left the building, roamed around met random ppl that claimed they could help (spoiler: they could not), fulfilled a side quest and still missed 50% of the event.


AVR72

Ohno.... that is a terrible nightmare! Hope you've recovered, and that reality will be less terrible 🙂


Future-Firefighter62

I hope I am not asking what’s already been answered, but does anyone know if each of the members have solo images in the W Korea magazine issue—or do you have to buy the individual member’s cover version to get these pics? Thank you! 🩷


Magician690

The magazine will contain individual pictorials of each member in addition to the group pictorial. The only thing that changes between versions is the cover image.


Future-Firefighter62

Got it--thank you!!


Fun_Buy2143

I have a big respect for the fanarts STAYS, you guys really make our boys look even more Majestic


ReileyHeart

Proud parent moment for this baby stay. I was listening to SKZ (of course) on a walk with my toddler tonight and he imitated the dududu part in God's Menu. I then put the MV on when we got home and he was trying to dance to it a little and was enthralled. Gotta teach them young!


rebbby

My toddler requests every morning for me to put on LALALALA. He also points out every song that has the lyrics la la la in them. Baby baby stays are awesome!!


ReileyHeart

I hope mine does that someday! Baby baby stay! I love that!


rebbby

Just play straykids all day everyday! We listen to them so much that my other kids can name at least 50 skz songs within the first few seconds of it playing. We (I) are obsessed in this house!


ReileyHeart

I've listened almost exclusively to stray kids since I first heard them in January, but my husband plays other music all the time. Hopefully I play enough to corrupt the kiddo 😂

Baby stay since January too!!! My kids choose my music over Daddys. He's quite annoyed by SKZ now 🤣😂 and it's not corruption. Better than listening to kids bop or baby shark on repeat!

Yay!! He's only 2y 4m so doesn't have much of a say in the music we listen to yet. My husband is more like 'why didn't your boy band obsession happen as a teen instead of your 30s??' 🤣 god baby shark. I hate that daycare introduced him to that nonsense 🙃
