#STRAYKIDS #BuenosAires Recap

What happened

Stray Kids posted a recap video of the STRAYCITY stop in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The title states plainly, in Korean, that 스트레이시티는 계속됩니다 (STRAYCITY-neun gyesokdoemnida, "STRAYCITY continues") — telling fans this stop isn't the end of the series.

Why Koreans care

The video's hashtags include #YouMakeStrayKidsStay. 스테이 (STAY) here isn't just the plain English word "stay" — per the group's own branding it's the official name of the fandom, and the slogan casts the fandom itself as the reason the group keeps going. That's the same reassurance the title already gives outright: STRAYCITY continues past this Buenos Aires stop.

In the Korean comments

One commenter, writing in Korean, says they're in Switzerland and describes Stray Kids as a source of strength while being bullied at school. In translation: "Stray Kids, could you come to Switzerland sometime? There are quite a few STAYs around here, and coming here is one of my dreams. I've been a STAY for three or four years now, so please consider it seriously. Thank you so much for being such a huge source of strength when I was being bullied at school. Honestly, without you I might not have been able to bear it and could have taken my own life. Thank you so much. With love." A separate comment identifies the writer as an 이란 스테이 (Iran STAY, an Iranian fan of the group) and says it feels like no one pays attention to Iranian STAYs the way they do Korean fans. In translation: "I love you so much, especially Felix. Last night I dreamed I went to your concert. It really upsets me that it feels like no one pays attention to Iranian STAYs, only Korean fans. I really wish you'd reply. In the dream I could only hug I.N. Please pay attention to me and the other Iranian STAYs too."
