Stray Kids (hereafter referred to as 'SKZ') boasted impressive album sales. According to the French National Syndicate of Phonographic Publishing (SNEP), as of the 11th (KST), SKZ's album 'HOP' has surpassed 50,000 copies sold and received a gold certification.

The French National Syndicate of Phonographic Publishing is an advocacy group that protects the rights of the domestic music industry and was established in 1922. They award certifications based on album and single sales within France.

SKZ has recorded its fourth gold certification to date, having previously received gold certifications for '5-STAR,' '樂-STAR,' and 'ATE.'

'HOP' is the first series of the mixtape album 'SKZHOP HIPTAPE,' which was released on December 13 of last year. It gained worldwide popularity through its distinct genre.

With this album, SKZ also earned gold status from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in March, as sales in the U.S. exceeded 500,000 copies. The album topped the 'Billboard 200' for six consecutive weeks.

Currently, SKZ is meeting global fans through their world tour 'DOMINO.' The tour is being held in a total of 34 regions worldwide, including Japan, the U.S., and Europe, across 55 performances, marking their largest scale to date.

They are performing in ultra-large stadium venues and are expected to attract a total of 2.2 million spectators during this tour, setting a new record for the highest attendance in a single K-pop tour.

Meanwhile, SKZ will continue their world tour with performances at Shizuoka Stadium Ecopa in Japan on May 10-11.
