The group comprises of eight talented members who have brought their unique talents and personalities to the forefront. The members include Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N.

Stray Kids has gained immense popularity both in South Korea and globally, earning them numerous accolades and awards, including seven Asia Artist Awards, four Circle Chart Music Awards, six The Fact Music Awards, and three Korea First Brand Awards.
