The group Stray Kids has been nominated for the American Music Awards (AMA) for the second consecutive year.
According to the candidate list released by the AMA via its official website on the 14th (local time), Stray Kids have been nominated for the 'Best Male K-Pop Artist' category at the 2026 AMA, which is scheduled to take place on the 25th.
At the 2024 awards ceremony, they became the second K-pop group in history to perform as performers, and were subsequently nominated in 2025 for Favorite K-Pop Artist and Favorite Soundtrack. Global fans are closely watching Stray Kids, who are challenging for the Best Male K-Pop Artist award this year, marking their second consecutive AMA nomination. The AMA is recognized as one of the top three major music awards in the United States, alongside the Grammy Awards and the Billboard Music Awards.
Stray Kids are shining with the presence of a "global top artist" while enjoying worldwide popularity. With their 2022 mini album "ODDINARY," they debuted on the US Billboard main album chart "Billboard 200" and immediately secured the number one spot, and through their latest release, SKZ IT TAPE's "DO IT," they have achieved eight consecutive number one entries on the chart. This marks the first record in the 70th-year history of the "Billboard 200" chart.
Recently, the group concluded its sixth official fan meeting, "STAY in Our Little House," held at Incheon Inspire Arena to great success, creating meaningful memories with fans who have shared in its global growth narrative.
Riding high on momentum, they will headline at The Governors Ball Music Festival in New York, USA, on the 6th, and at Rock in Rio in Brazil on the 11th, showcasing their prowess as the ultimate performance powerhouse.
