Stray Kids fans, rejoice! The South Korean boy band has marked the first day of their global dominATE tour, performing earlier today at South Korea’s KSPO Dome (where the band will play for four nights). The group will certainly be busy in the coming months, with shows in South Korea, Singapore, China, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia and Australia until mid-January 2025.
Taking the stage to perform their songs like “Chk Chk Boom” and “I Like It”, members Hyunjin, Felix, Bang Chan, Han, Lee Know, IN, Seungmin and Changbin all embarked on the global tour by bringing their signature exciting performance style. And even though they all dressed neatly and in sync – it’s a boy band, duh! – each member was sure to embrace their individual fashion sense. Especially Hyunjin, who opted for custom looks designed by Donatella Versace for his solo performances.

Donatella Versace created four special looks for Hyunjin, which will be worn during the tour. His first custom brow ensemble debuted today in Seoul: It included a crystal net balaclava, a Versace logo sleeveless tank top, and cargo pants. Custom Versace Mercury sneakers completed the look. “Donatella is so supportive and a true icon,” says Hyunjin of the fashion partnership. “When I wear Versace, I always feel more energy, more attitude and more power during the performance. The outfits designed by Doantella feel very luxurious.”
As for the rest of his stage outfits, Versace created other pieces, such as short-sleeved T-shirts with a polished finish, one-sleeve knitted scarves, and more cargo pants and crystal net balaclavas. The looks were fitted on Hyunjin at the Palazzo Versace in Milan this summer. “It was a pleasure to host Hyunjin in Milan. It is truly a special and meaningful place for me, my team and the entire Versace family,” says Versace Fashion. “It didn’t take long for the fans to discover he was here. We enjoyed meeting them together.”
The designer adds that Hyunjin’s trust and “connection with his fans” inspired her to create for the star. “I really enjoyed designing the clothes for his stage performances. He knows exactly what suits him and what works for him as a performer,” says Versace. “I love that he feels that Versace gives him confidence and special energy. He is so thoughtful and gentle and when he is on stage he shines like a real star. The cool statement outfits certainly help with that.
