The Japan Gold Disc Awards said on its official website on the 11th that the group received Best Asian Artist. It also won Album of the Year (Asia) and Best 3 Albums in the Asia category for its third Japanese mini album, “Hollow.” In addition, the live Blu-ray of its 2024 in-person fan event in Japan, “Stray Kids Fan Connecting ‘SKZ TOY WORLD,’” was named Music Video of the Year (Asia).
The Japan Gold Disc Awards are hosted by the Recording Industry Association of Japan and marked their 40th edition this year. Winners were selected based on sales of recordings, videos and other products from Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, 2025.
Stray Kids have also posted strong results on global charts. In 2025, the group achieved eight consecutive No. 1 debuts on Billboard’s main albums chart, the Billboard 200. On the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry’s 2025 year-end global charts, its fourth full-length album, “KARMA,” ranked No. 2 on the Global Album Sales Chart, the highest placement by a K-pop artist. The group was also the only K-pop act to place in the top 10 of the Global Artist Chart and the Global Album Chart.
Stray Kids are scheduled to hold their sixth official fan meeting, “Stray Kids 6TH FANMEETING ‘STAY in Our Little House,’” on March 28-29 and April 4-5 at Inspire Arena in Incheon.
