Stray Kids had another historic moment by successfully gracing the AMA stage with an iconic NSYNC tribute!
On October 6, global K-pop boy group Stray Kids revived the legacy of iconic American boy band NSYNC through an exceptional performance.
During the American Music Awards (AMA) 50th anniversary special, the octet was chosen as one of the performers, and they really didn’t disappoint, bringing back the nostalgia with a cover of a song from “No Strings Attached” by NSYNC, an album released 24 years ago.

For one of their biggest hits, “Bye Bye Bye,” Stray Kids attached strings to their limbs as they sang and danced, recreating the puppet-inspired stage of NSYNC in the 2000s.
However, this was no ordinary cover as the group suddenly incorporated the track “Chl Chk Boom” into the song, giving viewers an unexpected remix.
Wearing all-black outfits, the K-pop boy group displayed maximum energy and power as they honored the ’90s boy band.
After their stage, Stray Kids went viral and the audience was visibly impressed by their passion to deliver an unforgettable performance.
