Stray Kids delivered a powerhouse performance at the "Le Gala des Pièces Jaunes" on January 22 at Paris La Défense Arena, captivating fans and viewers alike. The charity concert, hosted by the French Hospital Foundation "Opération pièces jaunes" and chaired by First Lady Brigitte Macron, supports children and adolescents in hospitals.
Returning for the second time since their 2024 appearance, Stray Kids shared the stage with global icons like G-Dragon, Christina Aguilera, and A$AP Rocky. They opened with a dramatic intro befitting their reputation as K-pop champions and performed fan favorites including "Chk Chk Boom," "Do It (Overdrive Version)," "CEREMONY," and "LALALALA." Their orchestra-backed rendition of "Rock" electrified the crowd, blending grand instrumentation with the group’s signature high-energy performance. Fans’ cheers and lightstick waves added to the spectacle, which was slightly toned down for broadcast clarity.
The performance is now available to watch on France 2 and France TV’s YouTube channel.
Stray Kids’ presence in France continues to grow, from headlining Lollapalooza Paris in 2023 to drawing 120,000 fans during their 2025 world tour. Following last year’s impressive streak atop the Billboard 200, Stray Kids shows no signs of slowing, with upcoming festival appearances at the Governors Ball in New York and Rock in Rio in Brazil this year.
