ATEEZ
ATEEZ won five awards.
ATEEZ secured a total of five trophies, including the most prestigious award, “Stage of the Year”, at the “10TH ANNIVERSARY ASIA ARTIST AWARDS 2025” (“10TH AAA 2025”) held on December 6 at Gaoxiong National Stadium.
This year, after simultaneously dominating the two main American Billboard charts, the “Billboard 200” and the “Hot 100”, and after touring Incheon, North America, and Japan on their world tour, ATEEZ was awarded in the categories “Best Artist”, “Best K-pop Record”, and “Stage of the Year”.
Having received the awards “Best Artist” and “Best K-pop Record”, ATEEZ said:
“This is our first participation in the AAA and we are happy to receive such beautiful awards. Since this is our first time here, we prepared an impressive stage, so count on us. Above all, we thank our ATINYs (official fandom name) the most.”
They thus raised anticipation for their upcoming performance.
Finally, upon receiving the supreme award “Stage of the Year”, ATEEZ stated:
“This is an award we receive thanks to our precious ATINYs. For 7 years, we have shown you various performances and we will continue to offer you beautiful ones. We accept it humbly and will continue to move forward as ATEEZ.”
The members of ATEEZ also received individual trophies. YUNHO (윤호), who took on his first acting challenge on the big screen with “Back! Stage” and captivated with his powerful immersion, received the actor award in the “New Wave” category. HONG JOONG (홍중), the group’s eternal captain and highly noted for his various activities, won the “Best Choice” award.
YUNHO said: “As an actor, I tried different things and it is a huge honor to receive this award. I will continue to show you many facets as YUNHO of ATEEZ.”
HONG JOONG said: “For 7 years, I have worked hard as ATEEZ’s captain and I consider this award a gift from the ATINYs. With the members, we are thinking a lot about next year, so look forward to it.”
That day, ATEEZ opened the stage with “Man on fire”, a track from their 11th mini-album that reached first place on the “Billboard 200”. Their synchronized performance and unmatched energy further ignited the ceremony’s atmosphere.
In addition, with the performance of the title track “In your fantasy” from the edition of their 12th mini-album released in July, they enchanted the stage with their unique charm, drawing enthusiastic cheers from the audience.
This year, thanks to their two albums, the 12th mini-album and its edition, ATEEZ consecutively entered the main Billboard chart, the “Hot 100”. After a first appearance on the “Hot 100” with the 12th mini-album, they repeated the feat a month later with the edition of the same album, affirming their undisputed presence as a “Worldclass Artist”.
With their 2025 world tour “IN YOUR FANTASY”, they met fans worldwide, held stadium concerts in five North American cities, and conducted an unprecedented tour in Japan, demonstrating their activity on all fronts.
