The Lollapalooza festival in Paris is set to kick off on July 21, 2023, with Stray Kids taking centre stage as they are going to perform the opening act. The K-pop band, Stray Kids consists of eight members, including Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, Hyunjin, and I.N. Hyunjin is a dancer, rapper, and vocalist. JYP Entertainment formed the group in 2017 through their namesake reality show. However, Woojin left the group in October 2019 due to personal reasons.
In January 2018, Stray Kids launched their first extended play titled Mixtape. In 2020, they came up with their debut studio album, Go Live, which turned out to be their first platinum-certified album. In 2021, the group released their second studio album, Noeasy, which became their first album to sell over a million copies.
The group recently launched their third studio album called 5-Star. They are also planning to go on their latest tour, the 5-Star Dome Tour, which starts on August 16, 2023, in Fukuoka, Japan. Stray Kids is scheduled to perform at the Lollapalooza music festival in Paris tomorrow and the Global Citizen Festival in New York in September.
The impact of K-pop on the luxury market has grown in recent years. After being confirmed as an ambassador for Celine in March 2023, BTS member V has now been selected as the brand ambassador for high-end jewellery brand Cartier.
Earlier this year, Jimin, his fellow bandmate, was selected as the latest ambassador for Tiffany & Co. Meanwhile, NCT's Taeyong was chosen as a global brand ambassador for Loewe's men's show for its Paris Fashion Week in spring 2024.
