Stray Kids has been nominated for the Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs) for the second year in a row!

On November 25th (local time), the Billboard Music Awards announced Stray Kids’ nominations for the 2024 BBMAs, which will take place on December 12th. The group is nominated in four categories: Top Duo/Group, Top K-Pop Album, and Top Global K-Pop Artist.

This is a continuation of their success from last year, where they earned nominations for Top K-Pop Album and Top Global K-Pop Artist. This year, they’ve added Top Duo/Group to their list, showing their growing influence.

Stray Kids made history at the 2023 BBMAs when they won Top K-Pop Album for their third studio album ★★★★★ (5-STAR). They became the first 4th-gen K-pop boy group and only the second boy group in history to win that award. For this year’s BBMAs, Stray Kids has two albums nominated in the Top K-Pop Album category: the mini-albums 樂-STAR and ATE, making them the only K-pop artist with two albums nominated in this category. They are also nominated alongside global acts like Blink-182, Coldplay, Fuerza Regida, and Linkin Park in the Top Duo/Group category.

Stray Kids has been making waves on major U.S. music charts, including the Billboard 200 and Hot 100. Since their mini-album ODDINARY in March 2022, followed by MAXIDENT in October 2022, and ★★★★★ (5-STAR) in June 2023, they’ve topped the Billboard 200 five times with five consecutive albums. Their track 락 (樂) from 樂-STAR made history as the first song by a 4th-gen K-pop boy group to enter the Hot 100. Their digital single Lose My Breath (Feat. Charlie Puth) and Chk Chk Boom from ATE also earned them spots on the Hot 100, breaking their personal records.

Stray Kids also won Best K-Pop at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards with their track 특 from ★★★★★ (5-STAR), and they’ve continued their success this year, taking home awards at the 2024 People’s Choice Awards and the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards. Their track SLASH from the movie Deadpool & Wolverine was even nominated for Best Compilation Soundtrack at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards.

Stray Kids is ready to keep their momentum going with the release of their SKZHOP HIPTAPE 合 (HOP) and its title track Walkin On Water, which drops on December 13th at 2 PM (midnight EST).

HyunA is glowing with a whole new vibe!

On April 28, HyunA took to social media to share a few photos with no caption. In the pictures, she’s seen sitting at a cozy café, waiting for her meal.

Dressed in a soft, floral dress, HyunA gave off a gentle and innocent feeling — a big change from her usual bold and daring image.

Her long, straight hair and soft bangs made her look even more pure and lovely. With light makeup and a simple table setting around her, HyunA’s natural beauty truly stood out.

Fans also noticed her small tattoos peeking out from the back of her hand, adding just the right touch of her signature coolness.

Fans quickly flooded the comments, saying things like, “Now that she's married, her vibe is so different,” “I might fall for her all over again,” and “Is this HyunA’s real innocent beauty?”

Meanwhile, HyunA married singer Yong Jun Hyung last October. She’s also getting ready to drop her new single Mrs. Nail on April 30, and fans can't wait to see what she shows next.
