Stray Kids began their "Run It" world tour with five sold-out concerts at the KSPO Dome in Seoul [1].
The tour represents a strategic effort by JYP Entertainment to promote new music and expand the group's global footprint [2]. As one of the most prominent acts in the K-pop industry, the group's ability to sell out multiple consecutive dates in the capital underscores their growing commercial power.
The eight-member group [1] performed a series of shows in the Songpa District of southern Seoul [2]. These performances took place on July 25, July 26, July 29, Aug. 1, and Aug. 2 [3]. All five of these scheduled dates reached full capacity [1].
Following the Seoul leg, the tour will move to Japan. Stray Kids are scheduled to headline Tokyo’s National Stadium for two nights [1]. The venue is known for its massive scale, featuring 80,000 seats [1]. This transition from the KSPO Dome to a stadium environment marks a significant leap in the scale of the group's live productions.
JYP Entertainment said the tour is designed to bring the group closer to their international fanbase across major Asian cities [2]. The "Run It" tour follows a pattern of increasing venue sizes, moving from theaters and arenas to stadiums as the group's popularity grows outside of South Korea.
While the Seoul shows have concluded, the group continues to prepare for the Tokyo dates and subsequent stops. The tour is expected to serve as a primary vehicle for the group to showcase their latest musical direction to a live audience [2].

The transition from arena-sized venues in Seoul to an 80,000-seat stadium in Tokyo indicates that Stray Kids have reached a tier of global stardom where they can compete with the world's largest touring acts. By securing multiple sold-out dates in their home market before expanding into Japan, JYP Entertainment is leveraging domestic momentum to solidify the group's dominance in the broader Asian music market.
