Stray Kids has become the first foreign male act in history to perform a standalone concert at Japan's National Olympic Stadium in Tokyo, drawing 140,000 fans across two nights.

The group performed at the venue Saturday and Sunday as part of their new world tour "RUN IT."

Opening the show with "Wiinjeon," Stray Kids rolled through a string of fan-favorite tracks that defined their early career, including "Hellevator," "Side Effects" and "Double Knot."

The setlist also featured a parade of signature hits — "MANIAC," "God's Menu," "Sorikun," "Thunderous" and "This & That" — before the group unveiled two songs live for the first time: "just a little" and "Sukmyeong," both B-sides from their third Japanese mini-album "Hollow."

The two-night run drew a combined audience of 140,000. "This will no doubt be a day we remember," the group said. "We are truly grateful and love every one of you for creating such a breathtaking sight that we could hardly believe our own eyes." Looking ahead to their fourth Japanese mini-album "SUIATSU," set for release Nov. 25, they added, "We're confident about the next album too. We will keep delivering the best work we can — work that truly satisfies."
