Stray Kids' First Concert in Buenos Aires

What happened

Stray Kids thanked STAY for their first-ever concert in Buenos Aires, the second city on the group's STRAYCITY tour, saying the crowd's energy pushed them to perform with even more excitement.

Why Koreans care

One of the hashtags in the description, #YouMakeStrayKidsStay, points to where the fandom's name actually comes from. It isn't just a word for "people who stick around" — the official line is that fans are the ones who make the group "stay" together. In the Korean text of the caption, the English word is simply spelled out phonetically as 스테이 (seutei, STAY), the same word the group's slogan turns into a fan identity.

In the Korean comments

One comment with 76 likes makes a specific case for why Stray Kids and South America click: using the fan nickname 스키즈 (seukijeu, an affectionate shorthand for Stray Kids), it reads, in translation, "As expected, since 스키즈 is such an energetic group, and South America is a passionate country and city too, the synergy between the two is huge... 스키즈 is a team that really fits well with South America." (seukijeu, affectionate shorthand for Stray Kids) (seukijeu, affectionate shorthand for Stray Kids) Several other comments used the post not to react to the Buenos Aires show but to mark a member's birthday, repeating the line "펠릭스 생일 축하해" (Pelrikseu saengil chukhahae, meaning "Happy birthday, Felix") across separate, unrelated comments. One comment stands out for a different reason: a commenter who says they are from Mendoza, Argentina, writes, in translation, "I don't have money for a concert ticket or a plane ticket, so I couldn't go, but I'm proud of my players. I love them with all my heart." That comment carries the tag 번역 중 (beonyeok jung, "in translation") inside the Korean text itself — a sign the Hangul may have been machine-translated rather than written by a Korean speaker, a useful reminder that Korean-script comments don't tell you where their authors are from.
