Stray Kids' didn't blow up at once. Instead, each of their songs gained momentum at different times in different countries.
God's Menu, Back Door (Repackaged)
These songs helped Stray Kids become popular in Europe and North America.
Maniac
They blew up in China because of Maniac. From this point, their first-week album sales also surged significantly.
CASE 143
They blew up in Japan because of this song. This song performed well on Japanese music charts and they even had a dome tour there.
Here are the comments I expected to see:
The difference between their domestic and international fandom is huge
-> Their 2-days concert in Gocheok Sky Dome was sold out.
Isn't the venue in South Korea filled with international fans?
-> Recently, there was a problem with international fans' card payments during concert ticket sales, so Korean fans filled most of the seats.
Then, why are their achievement in music charts like that?
-> Maybe they didn't use all their know-hows
-Case 143 is that 'Wal-ddu-wal-kit' song, right? (NB: It's actually 'Why do I keep getting attracted'... That's what they mean)
-What's their hit song in South Korea? Thunderous?
-They started gaining popularity in South Korea after releasing God's Menu and Back Door.
-I f*cking love God's Menu.
-I discovered them through God's Menu. Their songs are really great.
-I'm not a fan, but I really liked Thunderous. I never listened to Stray Kids' songs before that. Thunderous was how I got into themㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Out of these songs, I like Case 143 the most!! My favorite song is Miroh!
-I'm not a SKZ's fan, but I usually listen to Miroh on my way to work every day.
-I really like Case 143.
-My personal pick is Maniac.
-I also got to know Stray Kids through God's Menu.
-I listened to 'Wal-ddu-wal-kit' a lot. I also used to listen to S-Class too. And I always search for their performances at every award ceremonies.
-My favorite is S-Class.
-My favorites are Case 143 and S-Class.
-I first heard Stray Kids’ songs on a survival show, and they have so many great songs. S-Class was the first one I knew.
-I used to think their music was noisy, but now I’m used to it. I think the fact that they make their own songs also play a big role behind their success.
