Stray Kids has made history by becoming the second K-pop group ever to earn gold certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for multiple albums. Their latest mini-album, “ROCK-STAR,” recently received a gold certification for selling over 500,000 units in the U.S., following their previous album, “★★★★★ (5-STAR),” which also achieved gold status. This achievement marks Stray Kids’ third gold certification overall, as their hit song “God’s Menu” was certified gold last October.

Their innovative approach to songwriting and production has resonated with fans, leading to a dedicated following known as “Stay.” The group’s success reflects the growing influence of K-pop on the global music scene, as they continue to break records and set new standards for artists in the industry.
As Stray Kids celebrates this remarkable achievement, their journey serves as an inspiration for aspiring artists, showcasing how talent, hard work, and a strong connection with fans can lead to extraordinary success.
