K-pop sensation Stray Kids make their fans (a.k.a “Stay”) proud as they’ve become the first act in history to have eight albums debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 in the 21st century with their latest addictive EP release, SKZ IT TAPE ‘DO IT.’ 

In addition to this outstanding achievement, the band has received six new RIAA Certifications across their entire discography with the following singles: Platinum Certification for “God’s Menu” (2020), and Gold Certifications for their album KARMA (2025) and singles “LALALALA” (2023), “Chk Chk Boom” (2024), “S-Class” (2023), and “Case 143” (2022).

The eight-member Korean boy band, under JYP Entertainment, consists of Australian member Felix and leader Bangchan, rappers Han and Changbin (making the infamous rap trio 3RACHA with Bangchan), and vocalists Lee Know, Hyunjin, Seungmin, and I.N. Officially debuting in 2018, when they originally started out as nine members until Woojin departed in 2019, the group released their first EP titled MIXTAPE, which contained their popular single “Hellevator.”

DO IT, a dynamic EP with harmonic ballads along with the celebratory title track “Do It,” which sounds like it came straight out of a World Cup commercial, finishes off the success of Stray Kid’s largest world-tour ever.

Stray Kids World Tour <dominATE> begun Aug. 24, 2024, with the first stop in South Korea, and lasted until Oct. 19, 2025, with the final performance being an encore concert in Incheon, South Korea. It’s very common for K-pop groups to hold a final encore show in solidarity of the tour officially ending in their home country.

A total of 56 shows across 35 regions, according to Billboard, the tour was the biggest ever concert tour in Latin America, North America, and Europe, which sold 1.3 million tickets and grossed $185.9 million in 2025. Much more is to be expected by this extraordinary and talented group. Stream DO IT now on all platforms.
