With Stray Kids coming to London this week and touring around Europe this summer, I thought it would be an ideal time to share some items that I think would be perfect for a pre-show party. However, comebacks are always happening, so these activities, recipes and accessories could be perfect for a new MV viewing party or album listening party too!
Crafts
If you want a crafty activity for people to do at your party, while listening to your favourite artists, then I think decorating toploaders for your photo cards is a great idea.
Try this sticker decoration tutorial from Zuzu, these resin deco ideas from onlyyyjo and this darker decoden tutorial from Stardust. @jyunqqz on TikTok also has a collection of amazing toploader deco inspiration to check out too.
Turn your party into a cup sleeve event! Create your own with online templates, such as this tutorial from Life Snuggies who has a free cup sleeve template linked in the description. You can also purchase Canva templates on Etsy too, which you could then add your design to, print them, and have them ready for your friends to bedazzle with sparkles and stickers.
Food
Food is a major part of a party and I think this sotteok sotteok recipe from My Korean Kitchen would be perfect. It’s easy to make and is a great pick me up for when you’ve been dancing too long!
Themed biscuits would be perfect, and just so that everyone gets their bias, pick up these Studio Dily (EU) cookie cutters that look like the SKZOO and Aniteez characters. They’ll also be releasing Zeroni ones too for all you Zerobaseone fans. The prints come out so clearly so there’s no need to decorate, but you could make this an activity too if you wanted!
Kimbap would be another great choice and this recipe from Beyond Kimchee looks beautiful. It’s packed with rainbow veggies and seasoned rice, but you can change up the protein dependent on what you and your friends prefer to eat.
I would also recommend picking up some snacks from your local Korean supermarket, but if you don’t have one and are based in the UK, then Starrymart has an online store carrying lots of fun options. You could pick up boxes of Pepero and Orion’s famous Choco Pie too.
Accessories
No K-Pop event is complete without lightsticks, pickets and plushies, but if you want to dress them up a little, then there are plenty of options out there.
ARTBOX (UK) has a huge selection of Sanrio K-Pop items including these picket covers featuring either Kuromi, Hello Kitty and My Melody, or the puppies Pochaco, Pompompurin, and Cinnamoroll.
If you’re a Stay, then definitely take a look at skzoowears (EU). They create outfits for your SKZOO, including these amazing Chk Chk Boom outfits (perfect for the Dominate tour) and the famous Loverboy beanies are reinvented as covers for your Nachimbong lightstick.
While these wouldn’t arrive in time for the London shows, I adore these SKZOO crochet lightstick covers, with matching bows, from Kiyomi KPop Design (CAN). They also have different crochet lightstick designs for Ateez, BTS, Seventeen, EXO, TXT and Boy Next Door too, plus bows for Aespa.
