STRAY KIDS’ music video for “Megaverse” has surpassed 100 million views.
On July 13 around 10 a.m. KST, the music video for “Megaverse”, a track from STRAY KIDS’ mini album “樂-STAR (Rock-Star)” released on November 10, 2023, officially crossed the 100 million view mark. With this milestone, the group now has 16 music videos that have reached over 100 million views, setting a record among 4th-generation K-pop boy groups. The other tracks include: “God’s menu,” “Back door,” “Miroh,” “My pace,” “Thunderous,” “Maniac,” “Hellevator,” “Christmas EveL,” “CASE 143,” “S-Class,” “Red lights” (Bang Chan & Hyunjin), “LALALALA,” “Circus” (original Japanese song), “Venom,” and “Chk Chk Boom.”
“Megaverse” was written and produced by 3RACHA (STRAY KIDS’ in-house production unit composed of Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han). As the opening track of the “樂-STAR” album, it stands out with its tight energy built on a minimalist rhythm and heavy bass, dramatic tempo changes, and intense rap sections.
Recently, STRAY KIDS have been expanding their global presence through their largest tour yet: “Stray Kids World Tour ‘dominATE’.” During their North American stadium tour in May and June, the group made history with several firsts for K-pop acts: performing at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Nationals Park in Washington D.C., Wrigley Field in Chicago, and Rogers Centre in Toronto, becoming the first K-pop artist to do so. They also held two consecutive shows at Globe Life Field in Arlington (a first for any artist), and performed at Oracle Park in San Francisco, becoming the first K-pop boy group to perform there, selling out the venue.
Additionally, STRAY KIDS kicked off their first-ever European tour on July 11 at Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam. They will go on to perform eight concerts across six cities: July 15 at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt, July 18–19 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, July 22 at Civitas Metropolitano in Madrid, July 26–27 at Stade de France in Paris, and July 30 at Stadio Olimpico in Rome—meeting tens of thousands of fans along the way.
