Stray Kids continued their unstoppable award-show streak tonight, claiming their third trophy of the evening at the 2025 Korea Grand Music Awards (KGMA) — and with the ceremony still underway, fans are wondering just how many more wins the group might stack before the night wraps.
The group took home the coveted “Most Popular Artist” award during Day 2’s Music Day at Inspire Arena in Incheon on November 15. The achievement follows their earlier victories for Best Selling Album and Best Music 10, solidifying a sweeping performance across the show’s major categories.

When Stray Kids were called to the stage, cheers echoed across the venue. The members, visibly moved, dedicated the moment entirely to their fans.
“This award is truly from STAY,” they said. “Thank you for loving us so much. Your support motivates us to work harder and bring you the best music we can.”
And STAYs received even more reason to celebrate — Stray Kids officially confirmed that their new album drops next week.
The group admitted that after the overwhelming support they’ve received throughout 2025, they felt compelled to release one more project before the year ends.
“We’ve been preparing this comeback with STAY in mind,” they added. “We were shown so much love this year, and now it’s our turn to repay that love properly.”
Before leaving the stage, Stray Kids sent one final message to their fans — warm, simple, and unmistakably heartfelt:
“Thank you, STAY. We love you.”
