ATEEZ added another major trophy to their collection, winning the Record of the Year Daesang (Grand Prize) at the Asia Star Entertainer Awards 2026 on May 17.

The eight-member group took home the top honor during the second night of the third annual ASEA ceremony, held at the Belluna Dome in Japan. In addition to the Daesang, ATEEZ also secured The Platinum award, a Bonsang-level honor that recognizes outstanding achievements across the region.

The Asia Star Entertainer Awards has established itself as a major recognition platform for artists across Asia. By honoring both K-pop acts and performers from neighboring entertainment industries, the event reflects the growing interconnectedness of Asian pop culture.

For ATEEZ, the recognition comes during a strong period for the group. Since their 2018 debut under KQ Entertainment, they've built a reputation for dynamic performances, consistent releases, and a dedicated global fanbase. The group has earned multiple accolades across Korean music awards ceremonies and has increasingly gained recognition at international and pan-Asian events.

The dual win at ASEA 2026 underscores ATEEZ's impact not just domestically but across the broader Asian entertainment sphere. The Record of the Year Daesang particularly highlights the commercial and critical success of their recent work, while The Platinum award recognizes their sustained excellence throughout the eligibility period.

With the ceremony spanning two nights, the ASEA 2026 continued its tradition of celebrating standout performances and achievements across multiple categories. The awards recognize artists who've made significant contributions to their respective industries over the past year.

ATEEZ's wins mark another milestone for a group that has consistently performed well at major awards shows. As they continue their activities, these recognitions reinforce their standing among Asia's top entertainment acts.
