Go Behind the Scenes at the Stray Kids World Tour ‘dominATE’
Meanwhile, Hyunjin pulls from specific cultural touchstones to guide his look in every country. “When we do shows in Japan, I try to go for a vintage Japanese feel,” he says. “There’s an anime I really like called Nana — I really like the styles featured in that show, so I take inspiration from it…
Meanwhile, Hyunjin pulls from specific cultural touchstones to guide his look in every country. “When we do shows in Japan, I try to go for a vintage Japanese feel,” he says. “There’s an anime I really like called Nana — I really like the styles featured in that show, so I take inspiration from it and have that vibe when in Japan. When we’re in Europe, I look to European rock bands for inspiration and try to replicate that vibe. And when we go to the US, I tend to be a bit more hip. Every stop has a different feel.”
That stylistic fluency shows. During soundchecks and the occasional encore set, Hyunjin often throws on vintage band tees — Nirvana, Radiohead, and The Beatles among his favorites. “While we were in London, I bought a lot of old band tees and tour tees from British rock bands, like, for example, Radiohead and Pink Floyd,” he says. “I bought so many old merch shirts, not just of British bands, but also acts like Nirvana as well. I really like vintage tees like that.” Earlier in the tour, he sported a freshly bleached buzz cut, often accented with black nail polish and stacked silver jewelry. As the tour has stretched on, the buzz cut has been growing out, revealing a new version of Hyunjin at every stop. Fans may not be surprised to learn he’s already plotting his next hairstyle. “I want my hair to grow out quickly, so I’m letting it flow,” he says. “I want to try another style.”
The rest of the group carries their own visual signatures, too. Felix leans into fluid streetwear — think long jean shorts, oversized hoodies, and a soft spot for playful accessories. “Louis Vuitton,” he adds with a knowing look. Han, a fan of Vivienne Westwood, self-describes his current vibe as “nerdy-style clothing,” delivered with amused self-awareness. Lee Know prefers ease and polish, often in crisp basics and rarely one to over-accessorize. “I wear a lot of Gucci,” he admits with a grin. I.N, ever in tune with what’s trending, gravitates toward high-fashion streetwear that blends curiosity with confidence. Lately, he’s had his eye on football shoes. “They are really comfy,” he says. “I think they’ll also be comfortable to work out in.” Bang Chan, for his part, is captivated by Nike’s hands-free GO FlyEase.
Seungmin keeps it classic and clean, favoring preppy knits and sporty layers. “Jerseys and baseball jackets,” he says, only to be met with Han’s quippy, “Burberry?” Hyunjin, unsurprisingly, goes bold. “I wear a lot of accessories, rings, chokers… I think I do a lot of excessive styling — with Versace and Cartier,” he says with a wry smile.
