Kings of Europe strikes again

Since last year they've been taking advantage of their popularity in Europe. Finally. They have such a big fandom there that was being ignored for years.

Now we want album distribution on UK with special versions without gifts to count on UK Charts...

Quote from Elliah

One of the things that stand out with SKZ and their popularity, is their reach here in Europe. It's hard for kpop acts to get such a big fandom in European countries, and SKZ have such rare popularity here despite not doing much for it. They haven't even toured here.. at all. I was kinda shocked Maniac tour excluded Europe, especially considering much much less popular groups tour in at least some countries here.

So yes I hope they continue to take advantage of their European popularity, also so that they can grow more and reach their potential. I'm curious how big they can get if JYP actually really goes for it.

Do other kpop group have UK special versions that you know of?

The only time they promoted in Europe before last year was when they did their showcase tour in very small venues in 2019. I was almost sure they'd extend Maniac Tour to there, but the continent was completely ignored. Actually, most K-pop agencies has been ignoring some of their biggest music markets in the world within Europe, It's like US is the only place they are able to expand outside Asia.

On top of my head, I remember of BLACKPINK with 'The Album' and 'BORN PINK' reaching #2 and #1 on UK Charts respectively and ATEEZ's last two albums reaching #2 and #4. SKZ could totally reach #1 with said distribution to respect UK Charts' rules, they already chart with streaming and digital only.

Mark my words!

They will be the biggest kpop group in Europe

This is an ambitious statement

Quote from Elliah

Interesting, let's hope they Stray Kids will also get this!

I'm very curious as to how big the scale of the European leg of the tour will be.

I already created some scenarios for dominate's european leg

1. They will go full arenas in multiple cities and then maybe come back months later for a stadium encore (similar to Blackpink)

2. They will do a mix of arenas and stadiums. Maybe one in France and/or UK and arenas in the rest of the dates.

3. They will go full stadiums, but having selective few dates, forcing the fans to travel to specific countries they will perform.

What is the best?

This is huge for them!

Love the cover so much

The first group in the world to debut at number 1 on the Billboard 200 with their first five chart entries, the eight-piece group recently headlined the closing night of British Summer Time Hyde Park in London to over 60,000 fans, as well as having performed and won at the VMAS 2023 in the US.

Stray Kids are fully-fledged global superstars. Their recent single ‘Chk Chk Boom!’ featured Deadpool vs Wolverine stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in the music video, while individual members have stepped into their own spotlight working with high fashion brands such as Louis Vuitton, Versace and Gucci.
