Stray Kids Adds Four Japan Gold Disc Awards to Their Winning Streak
Following their record-breaking concert film success, Stray Kids dominated the 2026 Japan Gold Disc Awards with four wins including Best Asian Artist.

Stray Kids capped off their incredible week by claiming four major wins at the 2026 Japan Gold Disc Awards, further cementing their global dominance just days after their concert film topped the worldwide box office.
The Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) announced the winners of the 40th Japan Gold Disc Awards this week, with Stray Kids leading the pack. The group secured Best Asian Artist along with Album of the Year (Asia), adding to their growing collection of international accolades.
The timing couldn't be more perfect for the eight-member group. Their concert documentary recently claimed the global box office crown with a $19 million opening weekend, proving their reach extends far beyond traditional music platforms into cinema.
Stray Kids wasn't the only K-pop act celebrating at the awards ceremony. SEVENTEEN, TXT (Tomorrow X Together), and rising girl group ILLIT also took home honors, while rookie boy group TWS continued their impressive award season run. BLACKPINK's Jennie added another trophy to her solo career achievements as well.
The Japan Gold Disc Awards recognize outstanding achievements in music sales and digital performance in Japan, one of the world's largest music markets. For Stray Kids, these wins represent their continued strength in the Japanese market, where they've consistently topped charts and sold out massive venues.
With their concert film breaking box office records globally and now four Japan Gold Disc Awards under their belt, Stray Kids shows no signs of slowing down. The group has successfully transitioned from digital streaming success to theatrical dominance, proving their multimedia appeal resonates with fans across different platforms and formats.
These latest wins add to what's already shaping up to be a banner year for the JYP Entertainment group, who continue building their legacy as one of the most successful fourth-generation K-pop acts worldwide.
