Stray Kids has achieved a significant milestone by successfully selling out both days of their solo concert, Stray Kids 5-STAR Dome Tour 2023 Seoul Special (UNVEIL 13), at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul’s Guro-gu on October 21 and 22. This accomplishment comes five years after their debut, highlighting the group’s substantial growth and escalating popularity.
The performance initially opened ticket pre-sales on the 18th for third-generation fan club members. General ticket sales commenced on the 20th. The rapid sell-out of both performances underscores the group’s widespread appeal and the anticipation surrounding UNVEIL 13. This extended performance title, derived from the word “UNVEIL,” has been a significant part of Stray Kids’ journey. It was introduced in signature teaser content like “UNVEIL: TRACK” and their debut overseas showcase tour UNVEIL TOUR ‘I am…’.
The Gocheok Sky Dome is one of South Korea’s largest indoor venues. Fans eagerly await the group’s performance, expecting a showcase of their unique presence and musical evolution.

Stray Kids is making great strides
In addition to their concert success, Stray Kids made a notable appearance at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards held at the Prudential Center in New Jersey, USA, on the 12th (local time). They clinched the Best K-Pop trophy with the title track from their third regular album. Its release marked their third consecutive No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. The debut performance of “S-Class” on U.S. television and the subsequent high-ranking video on MTV’s official YouTube channel confirmed their popularity in South Korea and beyond.
Furthermore, their third regular album continued to chart on the Billboard 200 chart for 15 straight weeks, setting another record for the group’s longest-ranking period on the chart. This achievement, along with the members of their in-house producing team, 3RACHA (Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han), performing at the 2023 Global Citizen Festival in New York on the 23rd, showcases Stray Kids‘ rising global prominence. As if that wasn’t enough, their agency recently confirmed that the eight-member group is finally recording new material.
