They might have confirmed their BBMAs performance just in time, but Stray Kids, as usual, are ready to bring their best. The exceptional self-produced group is gearing up for a bombastic performance that promises to be unlike anything seen before at the Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs).
After delivering a show-stopping performance at the AMAs earlier this year with their Chk Chk Boom (Remix) with NSYNC’s Bye Bye Bye, Stray Kids are now poised to dominate yet another major U.S. stage.

Renowned K-pop journalist Jeff Benjamin added to the buzz on X:
"Stray Kids are bringing something I don't think we've ever seen from a K-pop act on a U.S. award show...!!!! Going to be a major career moment."

Stray Kids are already en route to Bangkok for the next leg of their world tour. This year has been one of their busiest, and they’re closing it out with a bang. The new album will feature solo songs from each member, showcasing their individual artistry.
Fans are also looking forward to their year-end performance at the 2024 Gayo Daejeon on December 25th at Inspire Arena, live broadcasted. With G-Dragon recently confirming his participation, the event promises to be monumental.
Stray Kids continue to dominate the Billboard charts. Since their mini-album ODDINARY in 2022, they’ve achieved five consecutive #1 entries on the Billboard 200. Their latest album, ATE, debuted at number one, making Stray Kids the first musical group to top the chart with their first five consecutive charted albums. They join DMX as the only acts to achieve this milestone.
The title track Chk Chk Boom from ATE secured a spot on the Hot 100, marking their third career entry, following Rock (樂) and their English single Lose My Breath featuring Charlie Puth.
The group has also earned several prestigious awards this year, including the Best K-Pop title at the 2023 MTV VMAs, wins at the 2024 People’s Choice Awards, and recognition at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. Additionally, their track SLASH from the Deadpool & Wolverine Original Motion Picture Soundtrack earned a Grammy nomination.
Stray Kids are closing out 2024 in spectacular fashion, setting new standards for K-pop globally. Their performance at the BBMAs tomorrow is poised to be another unforgettable milestone.
