Stray Kids took the stage at the 2023 MTV VMAs to perform “S-Class,” a song from their latest album, 5-STAR. Check out their appearance on the awards show below.
Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N. donned near-military garb for their aggressive performance of “S-Class,” which oscillates between rapped verses and soft-sung choruses. The track really helps set Stray Kids apart from other K-pop groups; with heavy drums and dance breaks, the boys’ interest in hip-hop and noise music becomes clear.
Stray Kids took home the Best K-Pop VMA for “S-Class,” which Consequence named Song of the Week earlier this year. The group — one of 10 K-pop acts who ruled the genre in 2022 — recently played a triumphant show in Atlanta that we recapped in full. Revisit our interview with the boy band here.
