My Unforgettable Night at the STRAY KIDS "Maniac" World Tour Concert.

Woah, this was very hard to imagine! Even though it's been 3 months since the concert, and it feels like it was yesterday.

I went on March 27th, 2023. I found out—hmm, a week before the concert?—that I was able to go.

What I find funny is I actually saw my sister texting a girl about tickets. I didn’t say anything to her when I found out, but when I went to this Stray Kids Anniversary Event hosted by Kpopnite on March 19th, I told my sister. She said no, she didn't buy them because the girl she reached out to was actually overpricing the tickets, so she didn’t buy them.

When we went to my first K-pop cupsleeve event (the STRAY KIDS ANNI), she said, “Dance to a Stray Kids song you know fully with the girl sitting next to you?!” The girl next to me was a dancer and said she wanted to dance, so my sister insisted I dance as well. After so much pushing, pushing, and bribing with albums, I said okay.

When I danced, I WAS SO NERVOUS.

We went home, but like 3ish days before the concert, she was like, “We’re going!” and I was like, “WHAAAAT?!” even though I already had a feeling I’d get to go.

THE DAY OF THE CONCERT

I woke up at like 9 a.m. to get ready because we had a 4-hour drive ahead of us! We got ready and left. So, my mom was driving us (me and my sister) to the concert dome, and me and my sister were going in to watch it.

As we walked up the stairs to go inside the concert dome, my heart was shaking because I knew they were in here, in this same building, and I was going to see them in an hour. Let me tell you, that hour went by so quick. I'm waiting and waiting, then next thing I know, I'm running to go to my seat

before the concert starts.

STRAY KIDS come out—DUN DUN DUHHH!

"Maniac" is the first song of the tour! It was amazing!!

I remember when they took a break, and all the members were introducing themselves.

Bang Chan and Seungmin—everyone was howling and barking, which was so funny!!

Felix, Hyunjin, Han, Changbin, Lee Know, I.N—everyone was just yelling and saying awe and omg! It was so loud!

I have to say my favorite solo song that got sang was Hyunjin singing "ICE CREAM." That was so amazing!

But my favorite songs that weren’t solos would have been "Red Lights," "Drive," "FAM," "District 9," and of course, can’t forget "GOD’S MENU," HYUNJIN'S "네 손님," AND "CHARMERRRR." Triple kill with Bang Chan, Felix, and I.N. iykyk but like DANG!?

Songs they sang that hit me differently were "Lonely St," "Waiting For Us," and especially "HAVEN." When "HAVEN" started playing, I started bawling my eyes out, knowing this was the last song being played. They have helped me so much, and knowing 3 hours went by like 30 minutes...

Even though it feels like yesterday this is all i can remember to write. srry

Well thanks all for today!

Thanks for STAY-ing till the end! Until next time, STAY awesome!
