This year, they are performing alongside huge names like Mariah Carey, Green Day, Brad Paisley, Chaka Khan, Sheila E., Gladys Knight, Kane Brown, RAYE, Jennifer Hudson, Nelly, Nile Rodgers, and CHIC.

The star-studded lineup also features Carrie Underwood, Jimmy Kimmel, Jennifer Lopez, Gloria Estefan, AJ McLean, Cedric the Entertainer, Kate Hudson, Lance Bass, Reba McEntire, Samuel L. Jackson, and Smokey Robinson.

Stray Kids is only the second Korean act to perform solo at the AMAs, following BTS. In 2017, BTS made their U.S. TV debut as the first Korean group at the AMAs. They won their first award for Favorite Social Artist in 2018 and continued to shine, snagging three awards in 2021, including Artist of the Year.

Following in BTS's footsteps, Stray Kids is set to deliver a special performance that pays tribute to boy bands.

With this performance, Stray Kids further cements their impressive global presence. They have already won Top K-Pop Album at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards and Best K-Pop at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards, proving their impact at major U.S. music award shows.

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
