Stray Kids, which members include Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N officially hit the music scene with their EP “I Am Not,” followed by their first studio album “Go Live.”

After singing with Republic Records in 2022 to showcase their work in the U.S., the group experienced new success when their EP “Oddinary,” secured the top spot of Billboard’s 200 list. They became the third-ever K-pop talent to top the all-genre tally.

On the fashion front, the group, which has amassed more than 27 million followers on Instagram, has strong relationships, with their brand ambassadorships at Clio cosmetics, Ivy Club and Prospecs.

After attending Louis Vuitton’s 2024 Cruise show in May, Stray Kids member Felix was named a house ambassador for the luxury fashion label in August. In November, Stray Kids’ Hyunjin starred in Versace’s holiday ad campaign — his first venture since assuming a brand ambassador role in July.

Stray Kids last coordinated in classic black suiting at the 2023 MTV Vmas in September, where they received an award for Best K-pop Video for their project “S-Class.”

Since 1990, the Billboard Music Awards has seen the publication recognize the top-charting stars in the music industry. The 2023 Billboard Music Awards will stream on bmas.watch.com on Nov. 19.

WWD and Billboard both fall under the same parent company, Penske Media Corporation.
