Stray Kids Suit Up for MTV VMAs 2023 for Best K-Pop Video & Red Carpet – celebritiestalks
K-pop stars Stray Kids attended MTV’s Video Music Awards on Tuesday evening in Newark, New Jersey. Changbin, I.N, Han, Felix, Lee Know, Seungmin, Hyunjin and Bang Chan coordinated in black suits, button-ups and dress shoes.
Felix’s personal spin on the group’s uniform included a collarless jacket with a beaded lining, while Changbin’s shirt featured Old English-inspired text.
Stray Kids first formed on an eponymous South Korean reality show in 2017. Since then, they’ve become one of the genre’s leading acts, recording albums in both Korean and Japanese. In 2022, they received a VMA nomination for Best K-Pop Video. This year, the group won their first moonman in the same category for their video “S-Class.”

“I discovered Felix when I presented my pre-fall collection in Seoul,” said Louis Vuitton’s creative director of womenswear, referencing the brand’s pre-fall presentation, which took place on Seoul’s Jamsugyo Bridge. “It instantly clicked between us. He is really talented. I love his energy, his unique personality and his audacious sense of style.”
