This week, the annual MAMA awards were held from November 29th to November 30th. This two day event showcases many different KPOP groups and their performances. Nominated groups also have the chance to receive awards in different categories. As a KPOP fan, I’m going to give a recap on one group who I personally think out-did the rest. That group is known as Stray Kids.
To get a bit analytical, let’s talk about the awards that the group won. On day two, Stray Kids won the “Most Popular Group” award. This means they beat every other group to become the “most popular”. This is extremely impressive because for the past few years, a single group known as BTS has won the award in this category. BTS is one of the most popular KPOP groups in the world, but after Stray Kids won this award, I think it’s safe to say that Stray Kids is really putting in the work to accomplish more.
The next award they won was called the “Yogibo Chill Artist Award”. This was the result of fans voting in support of their favorite group. All the voting paid off, so much so that the entire eight member group came up to receive the award together.
The last award they received was titled the “Worldwide Fans’ Choice” award. Stray Kids has impressively claimed this award for two years in a row now. Once at the 2021 MAMA’s, and once at the 2022 MAMA’s. Fans of Stray Kids are known to be very passionate about the performers they support. No wonder Stray Kids have won this award two years in a row. These fans are dedicated!
