Stray Kids Members Report Minor Injuries After Rain-Soaked Tokyo Concert

Several Stray Kids members slipped during a rain-soaked concert at Tokyo National Stadium on August 29, prompting concern about stage safety and the performers’ condition. Bang Chan sustained a small cut on his arm, while Lee Know later said he had visited a hospital and returned.

The show opened the Japanese leg of the group’s RUN IT world tour. Stray Kids performed at the stadium, also known as MUFG Stadium, on August 29 and 30, becoming the first foreign male act to hold a solo concert at the venue. The milestone arrived with difficult weather conditions during the first night.

Multiple slips during the August 29 performance

During “Ceremony,” Lee Know appeared to lose his footing and land on his upper body. He attempted to rise more than once before returning to one knee, and Bang Chan moved toward him to check his condition. The moment drew immediate attention because the stage surface appeared wet from rainfall.

Lee Know appeared to fall again during “Run It,” this time landing on his back and holding the affected area while moving across the stage. Changbin and Felix were also seen falling during other songs, while some attendees said Seungmin slipped as well. The repeated incidents turned the condition of the performance surface into a central concern.

Bang Chan also fell and was left with a cut on his arm. He later described the injury as minor. Lee Know separately reassured fans after receiving medical attention, writing that he had gone to the hospital, returned, and expected to feel better after sleeping.

No detailed medical report on the members’ reported injuries was available. Their own updates eased some immediate concern, but the sequence of falls led fans to question whether additional precautions were needed for a large outdoor performance during heavy rain.

Safety concerns follow a landmark stadium date

Large concert productions depend on carefully coordinated movement, choreography, lighting and stage equipment. Rain can alter the performance environment quickly, especially when artists must move at speed. In Tokyo, the visible slips placed that practical risk alongside what was otherwise a significant venue achievement for the group.

The incidents did not erase the scale of the Japanese tour. The seven scheduled concerts are expected to attract about 370,000 people. Following the two Tokyo dates, the itinerary continues at Vantelin Dome Nagoya on September 5 and 6, Kyocera Dome Osaka on September 19 and 20, and Mizuho PayPay Dome Fukuoka on October 24.

The transition from the open-air national stadium to domed venues may reduce exposure to the same type of weather, although each concert still requires its own safety assessment. The Tokyo episode is likely to keep attention on stage conditions as the tour proceeds, particularly during sequences involving fast choreography and broad movement across the platform.

Touring continues alongside strong chart results

The Tokyo performances took place while Stray Kids remained prominent on the U.S. album chart. The group’s mini album THIS & THAT ranked No. 8 on the Billboard 200, completing a third consecutive week inside the top 10. It earned 48,000 equivalent album units in the United States during the week ending August 27.

The release debuted at No. 1 and placed No. 3 in its second week. It became the group’s ninth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, extending a run that has made Stray Kids one of the most visible touring and recording acts in contemporary K-pop.

The group is also scheduled to headline Rock in Rio in Brazil on September 11 and appear at the Stray Kids-led “STRAYCITY” festival series in Latin America later in the month. For now, the members’ reassuring updates have shifted focus back toward the upcoming dates, while the wet-stage incidents remain a reminder of the operational risks surrounding major outdoor concerts.
