Stray Kids amassed 500 million YouTube views Sunday with the music video for “God’s Menu," JYP Entertainment said Monday.
This is not only the first video from the group to achieve the feat, it also crowns Stray Kids as the first boy group among the fourth generation of K-pop groups to do so. “God’s Menu” fronted its first studio album “Go Live” which was released in June 2020. The LP sold about 128,000 copies in the first week, a career-high for the band at the time, before all its subsequent albums became million-sellers.
Meanwhile, the band’s ongoing "Dominate" tour will rewrite K-pop history drawing 2.2 million in attendance, according to its label. The tour spans 34 regions for 55 shows; the eight members will begin the Latin American leg next month.
Treasure to return with special EP
Treasure will release the special mini album “Pleasure” on March 7, announced label YG Entertainment Monday.
The EP will contain the heartfelt gratitude and efforts of the members who wish to repay fans with music filled with warmth and tenderness, the label added. The album will include “Last Night,” an upbeat dance tune released in December last year. The prerelease topped the iTunes Top Songs Chart in 10 regions.
In March, the band of ten will greet fans at the "Special Moment" fan concert in Seoul. The three-day gig will be followed by the group's first visit to the US with stops in New York, Washington, DC, Oakland and Los Angeles. Next, the group will head to Japan to perform in Kobe, Nagoya, Fukuoka and Saitama.
