Blackpink's Lisa and boy band Stray Kids performed at the Le Gala des Pièces Jaunes, a charity event in Paris, on Friday.

Lisa performed her 2021 solo tracks "Lalisa" and "Money" at the Accor Arena for the charity event and also showcased a collaboration stage with DJ Snake, singing "SG (Sexy Girl)" (2021).

The singer performed with Blackpink last year during the 2023 charity concert as the first-ever K-pop band to be invited to the event.

Stray Kids became the first K-pop boy band to perform at the event, according to JYP Entertainment.

The band performed the songs “S-Class,” the lead track of its third full-length album “5-STAR,” and B-side track “Topline (Feat. Tiger JK)” on Friday. The band also showcased its 2020 track “God’s Menu” with a large orchestra.

Lisa and Stray Kids joined other global musicians, such as rock band Maroon 5 and singer Pharrell Williams.

The annual charity concert was hosted by the French hospital foundation Opération pièces jaunes, chaired by French First Lady Brigitte Macron, which aims to raise money for children in need of medical care.

Lisa debuted in 2016 as a member of the quartet Blackpink under YG Entertainment. The group gained global success and released hit songs, including "Ddu-Du Ddu-Du" (2018), "Kill This Love" (2019), "Shut Down" (2022), "Pink Venom" (2022) among others. She released her solo single "Lalisa" in 2021, kicking off her solo career.

Lisa and the other three members — Jennie, Rosé and Jisoo — all agreed to continue their group activities as Blackpink under YG Entertainment while pursuing their solo activities apart from the agency.

Stray Kids debuted in 2017 under JYP Entertainment. The band consists of eight members: Bangchan, Leeknow, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N.

Its third full-length album “5-Star” was the highest-ranked K-pop album on the 2023 Top 200 Album chart by the French record organization Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique.

Stray Kids was recently nominated for The Group/Duo Of The Year award at the 2024 People’s Choice Awards. It was also nominated in two categories — K-pop Artists of the Year and K-pop Song of the Year — at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards.
