K-pop group Stray Kids took the American Music Awards stage for their 50th Anniversary Special and left everyone spellbound with their performance. The group performed on their hit track 'Chk Chk Boom' and paid tribute to American pop band NSYNC as well during their performance.

Stray Kids members Lee Know, Hyunjin and Felix first took the stage to dance to the NSYNC track 'Bye Bye Bye' before they seamlessly transitioned to 'Chk Chk Boom', the lead single from their latest album. This was their first time performing at AMAs. The only group to have done that before is BTS.

About the same, Felix had earlier told Billboard, "Just performing at the American Music Awards for the first time, and doing a collaboration with NSYNC was very memorable. It was very special. We were vibing, it was great."

Stray Kids have been on a roll in the last few years. They won the Top K-pop Album last year at the Billboard Music Awards and Best K-pop at VMAs 2023.

The group consists of members, Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N. Stray Kids is under JYP Entertainment and have been active since 2018.

They are currently on tour across Asia, Australia, America and Europe post the release of their ninth mini-album, ATE.
