Stray Kids have been awarded the 'Fans' Choice Male Top 10' at the 2025 MAMA Awards.
The 2025 MAMA Awards took place on the 28th at the Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong.
Stray Kids, wearing ribbons in memory of the Hong Kong fire tragedy, took the stage as the fourth recipient of the 'Fans' Choice' award. Changbin expressed, "It's been a while since we attended the prestigious 'MAMA'. We sincerely thank STAY (fandom) for this incredible gift. As the name 'Fans' Choice' suggests, your love and support are our greatest strength. Thank you for staying by our side with the same heart for about eight years. We will strive to be artists who can reciprocate that love."
Leader Bang Chan conveyed his condolences, saying, "Through this platform, I express my deepest condolences for the recent tragic accident. You are no longer alone. We will provide strength through our music."
Previously, Stray Kids donated 1 million Hong Kong dollars (approximately $130,000) through Hong Kong World Vision for the recovery efforts of the Hong Kong fire. The donation will be used to provide temporary shelters and psychological support for affected children and residents.
On the 26th, a massive fire broke out in a high-rise apartment complex in the Tai Po area of northern Hong Kong, resulting in over 100 deaths, 76 injuries, and over 200 missing persons. This tragedy has also impacted the 'MAMA' event held in Hong Kong.
The MAMA organizers stated, "We aim to share in the grief and provide a time for remembrance, contributing to victim support through donations. We are carefully preparing the stage and proceedings to deliver comfort and hope rather than extravagant performances."
