“Stay in Our Little House,” the highly anticipated 6th fan meeting, is set to boom (Chk Chk Boom) the Inspire Arena in Seoul, South Korea, this weekend. 

Scheduled for late March and early April, (March 28th, 29th, April 4th and 5th), all four shows are completely sold out. 

With an expected attendance to be more than 45,000 fans, this event promises to be cute and unforgettable for Stays (as their fans are known).  

International fans can join the Beyond Live screenings of the event but for a fee. The fan meet is designed to be more intimate for the fandom.

Things to expect, plenty of ‘SKZ-Talk,’ chaotic games and perhaps a sneak peek of their new choreography. 

Stray Kids will be performing live for the fans, with the arena being so big, it’s much more like a cutesy concert rather than, just a fan meeting.  

A very excited fan from the Stray Kids United Kingdom community group said: “I will be streaming the fan meeting through Beyond Live.

“It was so difficult to get the tickets, but it’s all worth it. I can’t express my excitement for this weekend enough, I’m just so happy.”  

Another fan from the DMU Korean Society at De Montfort University in Leicester also expressed her excitement: “Fan meetings are always the best, because they pull random songs which is exciting.

“Last time they did Booster, which they’d never performed, and they covered Sherlock which is my fave Shinee song lol,” said Megan Jackson.  

A new tour will accompany a highly anticipated new album, although the exact dates are not known yet. 

A new studio album might be coming earlier than you think. According to the JYP reports, the group is most likely to have their comeback soon, around April – May time.  

“They don’t even know what’s coming next,” said leader Bang Chan.
