K-pop groups at Stade de France
It is impossible to ignore the incredible rise of K-pop in France over the last ten years. But what exactly is K-pop? It is a musical genre originating in South Korea, which blends contemporary sounds such as pop, rock, electro, hip-hop, and jazz, often with English lyrics.
The Korean music industry has attracted millions of fans around the world. K-pop groups, whether male or female, follow a set of codes and terminology specific to this universe.
Let's take a look at some of the K-pop groups, whose members are affectionately known as “idols,” and who have performed or will perform at the Stade de France.
BTS, THE MOST INFLUENTIAL K-POP GROUP
Unmissable and iconic, BTS is undoubtedly the most influential K-pop group worldwide, often perceived as a true cultural phenomenon. Composed of seven members, the boy band has sold millions of albums and broken numerous sales records. Among its hit songs, the ballad “Spring Day” stands out as one of the group's most representative tracks. Their success has marked an entire generation and paved the way for other Korean artists on the international scene.
STRAY KIDS CHOOSE STADE DE FRANCE FOR THEIR FIRST WORLD STADIUM TOUR
Like B.I., Stray Kids stands out for its ability to compose most of its own songs. Two of its members, Lee Know and Bang Chan, are particularly popular with fans. The group is known for its bold style, a clever mix of electro, trap, and hip-hop that is easily recognizable. The song “God's Menu” is a perfect example.
Stray Kids is set to give exceptional concerts at Stade de France on July 26 and 27, an opportunity not to be missed for the millions of fans who follow them.
BLACKPINK, THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS FEMALE K-POP GROUP
The quartet has had the opportunity to collaborate with international artists such as Dua Lipa and Lady Gaga. Their song “Ddu-Du Ddu-Du” currently holds the record for the most viewed K-pop music video on YouTube, with 730 million views to date. With 5.7 million followers on Instagram and 94.8 million on YouTube, Blackpink has won the hearts of millions of fans. Their latest show, “Born Pink World Tour,” set a new record as the most lucrative tour for a female group in history. After causing a sensation at the Accor Arena in 2022 and then in July 2023 at Stade de France, the K-pop icons are back in Paris on August 2 and 3, 2025, for two exceptional concerts at Stade de France.
K-pop continues to dominate and fascinate. The Stade de France is once again preparing to welcome one of the most talented and popular groups, Stray Kids, for two unforgettable shows. Whether you're a die-hard BTS fan, a Blackpink fan, or a lover of Stray Kids' unique sounds, these Korean groups are sure to continue making history in global pop music.
