Stray Kids fans, rejoice! The South Korean boy band has marked the first day of their global dominATE tour, performing at the KSPO Dome in South Korea earlier today (where the band will be playing for four nights). The group will certainly be busy in the months ahead, with shows across South Korea, Singapore, China, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, and Australia until mid-January 2025.
Hitting the stage to perform their this such as “Chk Chk Boom” and “I Like It,” members Hyunjin, Felix, Bang Chan, Han, Lee Know, I.N, Seungmin, and Changbin all kicked off the worldwide tour by bringing their signature electrifying performance style. And while they all dressed cohesively in sync—it’s a boy band, duh!—each member was sure to embrace their individual fashion sense. Especially Hyunjin, who chose custom looks designed by Donatella Versace for his solo performances.

Donatella Versace created four special looks for Hyunjin, which will be worn throughout the tour. His first custom brow ensemble debuted in Seoul just today: It included a crystal-net balaclava, sleeveless Versace-logo 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. “Wearing Versace always makes me feel more energy, more attitude, and more of my own power when performing. The outfits designed by Doantella feel very luxury.”
As for the remainder of his stage outfits, Versace created other pieces such as short sleeve-tees with a burnished finish, single-sleeve knit shawls, and more cargo pants and crystal net balaclavas. The looks were fitted onto Hyunjin at the Palazzo Versace in Milan this summer. ”It was such a pleasure to host Hyunjin in Milan. It is a truly special and meaningful place for me, my team, and all our extended Versace family,” Versace tells Vogue. “It didn’t take long for the fans to discover he was here—we had fun going out to meet them together.”
The designer adds that Hyunjin’s confidence and “connection with his fans” is what inspired her to create for the star. “I really loved 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 Versace gives him confidence and special energy. He is so thoughtful and gentle and when he’s on stage—he shines like a true star.” The cool statement outfits sure help, too.
