The announcement was made in a post on X (formerly Twitter) by the official Empire State Building account. With emojis, cherries, and a mention of June 16, the caption instantly felt celebratory:

The post quickly made waves. It was going viral across platforms within minutes among the fans. To many, it was not just the appearance of their favorite band but the message thereof that struck a chord.

Stray Kids have never been afraid to talk about personal growth, emotional suffering, and the strength to carry on. Their songs often address pressure, mental health, and being oneself. So when an iconic landmark like the Empire State Building collaborates with them to mark "The Healing Power of Music," it feels like a full circle.

Musicians On Call, a charity organization, is famous for taking music to patients in hospitals. Their mission is to bring joy to clinical environments - something that complements what their music has been doing to fans worldwide.

They debuted in 2017 under JYP Entertainment and have since then built a strong fan base not just with powerful performances, but also with authenticity. They've been open about their struggles, their creative process, and what keeps them humble.

It did not explain the use of burgundy lights, but fans have linked it to the group's visual concepts and emotional tone. Whatever the reason is, though, it adds to the charm of the event.
