K-pop boy group Stray Kids is set to launch a new world tour titled "Run It" in Seoul next month, according to an announcement from their agency, JYP Entertainment, reported by South Korea's Yonhap News Agency. The tour will begin with five concerts at the KSPO Dome in Seoul's Olympic Park on July 25-26, July 29, and Aug. 1-2, before moving to international venues across Asia.

Alongside the tour, the group will release a new EP, "This & That," on Aug. 7, with the pre-release single "Run It" dropping this Wednesday at 1 p.m. KST, as confirmed by multiple reports.

Coverage Comparison

Both reports from Yonhap News, dated June 22 and June 23, provide consistent details about the upcoming tour and album.

The later report added full tour details, including specific dates and cities.

According to Yonhap's coverage, the world tour will make Stray Kids the first overseas male artist to stage a standalone concert at Tokyo's National Stadium, describing the venue as one of Japan's largest. The report also projected that the band will draw approximately 370,000 fans across seven concerts in Japan alone, encompassing shows in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, and Fukuoka.

What was claimed, and who backed it

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
