Stray Kids Make Fans Proud With Their Performance At "Expo 2020" in Dubai

Stray Kids made serious moves today, performing for Republic Korea’s National Day at the Expo 2020 in Dubai.

They performed “Thunderous,” a self-produced track that embodies Korean culture. The song takes traditional instrumentals and mixes them with modern hip-hop elements, making the song feel classic, but modern.

As Ambassadors, @Stray_Kids was given the chance to perform in front of important people and the President of South Korea for the opening of Korea Week. They performed ‘Thunderous’ – a song that distinctly represents Korean culture with mixed modernity. I am so proud to be a fan. pic.twitter.com/zZHIoWqILL
