Previously nominated in the Top Global K-Pop Artist and Top K-Pop Album categories at the 2023 BBMAs, Stray Kids has demonstrated their global influence and unyielding popularity.
In March 2022, Stray Kids achieved their first number one on the Billboard main chart 'Billboard 200' with the mini-album 'ODDINARY'. They continued this extraordinary achievement with 'MAXIDENT' in October 2022 and '★★★★★ (5-STAR)' in June 2023, claiming the top spot of 'Billboard 200' for three consecutive releases. In 2023, with '★★★★★ (5-STAR)' and its title track 'S-Class,' the group made an impressive entry into 11 different Billboard categories. The track 'S-Class' maintained its presence for five consecutive weeks on the 'Billboard Global 200'.
This year, Stray Kids has been captivating audiences worldwide, establishing themselves as the leaders in performance.

Their in-house production team, 3RACHA, consisting of Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han, mesmerized the audience with their performance at the '2023 Global Citizen Festival' in New York's Central Park. They also recently completed a significant dome tour across five regions in Korea and Japan, the first for a fourth-generation K-pop boy group, and announced their debut on Japan's renowned year-end broadcast 'Kōhaku Uta Gassen'.
