K-pop sensation Stray Kids lit up the Philippine Arena in Bulacan on November 23, performing for an audience of passionate Filipino fans during their “dominATE” world tour. The eight-member group — Bang Chan, Felix, I.N, Seungmin, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, and Han — delivered a high-energy show featuring over 30 songs. This marked their return to Manila following their “Maniac” tour in March 2023.
The concert opened with “Mountains” and continued with crowd favorites like “Thunderous,” “Back Door,” and “God’s Menu.” Each member also performed solo tracks, showcasing their individual talents. Songs like “Hold My Hand” by Han and “Railway” by Bang Chan added a personal touch to the evening.
Stray Kids took moments throughout the night to express their gratitude to Filipino STAYs, their dedicated fanbase. “Stay, mabuhay! It’s been a while since we last met, and we’re so honored to be here,” said leader Bang Chan. Felix added, “We’ve been looking forward to this, and it’s just the beginning.”
The concert also featured a touching fan-made video with heartfelt messages for the group. Moved by the gesture, Bang Chan shared, “We didn’t expect this. These memories are something we’ll treasure forever. Thank you for being with us.” Hyunjin asked fans to promise their continued support, saying, “When we come back to the Philippines, you’ll be here too, right?”
The event was part of a global tour set to visit over 20 stadiums across Asia, Latin America, North America, and Europe. After their Philippine performance, they are heading to Macau, Osaka, and other major cities.
Presented by Live Nation Philippines, the “dominATE” concert highlighted the deep bond between Stray Kids and their Filipino STAYs, leaving fans excited for the group’s next return.
