Stray Kids have already secured the Popularity Award after STAYs rallied fiercely in the voting rounds, and the group is expected to receive the trophy on stage during the ceremony.
Expectations are through the roof, as this marks their first major award show appearance following the release of their record-breaking 4th full album, KARMA.
The album’s historic achievements include becoming the first act in Billboard history to debut atop the chart with its first seven entries and earning the title of the group with the most number-one albums in the 21st century on the Billboard charts.
With their high-energy performances and track record of dominating award shows—such as their previous wins at the K-Dream Awards—fans and industry insiders alike anticipate Stray Kids will once again own the stage at this year’s TMA.
