Stray Kids emerged as the "Top Global K-Pop Artist" winner during the 2024 Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs).

In this category, they beat world-renowned global stars BTS Jungkook and Jimin, as well as their fourth-gen rivals ENHYPEN and TXT.

"We just really want to say, you know, a big, huge thanks to STAYs everywhere, all around the world. And without you guys, we would not be standing here on this stage right now receiving such a meaningful award," said Stray Kids in their acceptance speech.

"We want to give all this back by working hard and making music that you truly love. Everything is thanks to STAY, so thank you so much!"

With this, Stray Kids became the second act to win this title following NewJeans.

'Incredible Memory' Unlocked: Stray Kids Dedicates 2024 BBMAs Win and Performance To STAYs

Following their win, Stray Kids took to their official X (formerly Twitter) to post two group photos of them and thank their fans, STAYs.

"It's so surreal that we were able to perform AND win Top Global K-Pop Artist at the BBMAs this year!" the group said. "Thanks a billion for another incredible memory, STAY."

Stray Kids ignited the 2024 Billboard Music Awards with the fiery performances of their hits "CHK CHK BOOM" and "JJAM."

Clad in leather black 'fits and statement chains, the eight members showed off their seamless choreography and powerful vocals for "CHK CHK BOOM," ending it with fireworks and when a mysterious red paint dropped on I.N's cheek.

The set then transitioned into a vibrant stage with green paint drips as the backdrop, signaling the start of Stray Kids' "JJAM" performance. The members — now sporting jerseys, denim vests, and pink bombers — showcased their rap skills and epic movements during the dance break.

Stray Kids' over 4-minute performance concluded with their dance en masse and loud cheers.
