* Tour Map - 2023–24 Regular Tour: Visited four continents. 25 new songs. - 2025 Regular Tour: Narrowed the scope while increasing the number of cities and ticket prices by about 30%. - 2026 Fan Concert: Visited only regions in time zones similar to Korea, kept ticket prices the same, and reduced venue sizes. 7 new songs. - In other words, the tour’s scale seems to have been determined by the number of new songs. Two of the company's four key executives left in 2025 to pursue their goal of producing a boy group. The company continued restructuring through 2026.
* Memories from Each City - Hong Kong: Yoon’s tears are always part of the tour’s final moments. In their tribute video, fans spoke of stars looking at each other. - Sydney: Sieun said she had suggested the tour title, “STAY CLOSER.” Fans gave her the title “Queen of Australia.” - Melbourne: STAYC shouted “Aussie” together with the fans. For the second year in a row, fans filmed STAYC leaving the venue after the show. - Perth: Fans gave STAYC, visiting for the first time, the loudest cheers in the Southern Hemisphere. - Taipei: Made Sieun cry more than once. Fans tossed ribbons. - Macau: When the sound cut out, fans sang loudly together. - Manila: Fans gave STAYC, returning after four years, the loudest cheers of the entire tour. - Seoul: There were three big surprises: the title-track medley, “SO BAD,” and the Japanese songs.
STAYC seems to have spoken about stars beyond the tour title “STAY CLOSER.” Fans noticed this. Stars were mentioned or implied in fan posts from at least six cities. Those stars may refer to the “stars that do not lose their light even when the morning sun rises,” narrated in the “STEREOTYPE” music video trailer.
The Seoul mission on the tour recreated STAYC’s “Please say” and the fans’ “I love you.” This was a scene many people witnessed on Korean broadcast TV in November 2024. With this declaration, STAYC’s “history” belongs to both sides who said they loved each other. It does not belong to the haters. STAYC includes not only the six members but also the company behind them.
