10 Years, One Epic Celebration
The Asia Artist Awards (AAA) 2025 is taking things up a notch to mark its 10th anniversary—and the first wave of performers proves it’s pulling out all the stops. The event is set for December 6 at Kaohsiung National Stadium, the largest venue in Taiwan, with a commemorative festival, dubbed the ‘10th Anniversary AAA Festa,’ following the next day.
K-pop Kings and Queens Take the Stage
Confirmed artists include breakout rookie MEOVV, Billboard-charting ATEEZ, performance powerhouses CRAVITY, and multi-win rookies TWS. Each group represents a different flavor of K-pop, from edgy beats to polished pop—and the line-up has fans buzzing.
- MEOVV (members: Suin, Gawon, Anna, Narin, Ella) saw their track “HANDS UP” defy gravity on the Melon Top 100, landing at #14 after promotions ended. Not a bad flex for a debut EP.
- ATEEZ smashed into the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time with “Lemon Drop,” the title song of their 12th EP, GOLDEN HOUR: Part.3. They followed up with a 14-show North American tour, five of which were full-on stadium concerts.
- CRAVITY continues to evolve, challenging their image with the full album Dare to Crave, showing their musical maturity. If growth had a brand name, it might just be CRAVITY.
- TWS (a.k.a. your latest obsession) scored a “grand slam” with six music show wins for their title track “Isn’t It Cool to Follow Your Heart?” and earned their fourth straight half-million shipment milestone—a major feat for a newer group.
Superstars, Actors, Idols – Oh My!
That’s not all. AAA 2025 is a full-blown crossover celebration. Previously announced attendees from the actor lineup include IU, Park Bo-gum, Kim Yoo-jung, and Japan’s Takeru Satoh. The music lineup is just as dazzling with Stray Kids, IVE, LE SSERAFIM, RIIZE, MONSTA X, and more set to light up the stage.
Meet Your MC Dream Team
Hosting duties are divided across the two-day celebration. For the main awards night, expect charisma from Jang Wonyoung and Lee Junho. The Festa on Day 2 will be emceed by Lee Junyoung, (G)I-DLE’s Shuhua, CRAVITY’s Allen, and KiiiKiii’s Su-i—a line-up sure to keep the crowd hyped.
What’s Next?
This is just the first lineup drop. With AAA’s history of surprise performances and once-in-a-lifetime collabs, fans have every reason to keep their eyes peeled. As the buzz builds, one thing’s clear: AAA 2025 is shaping up to be a K-culture milestone.
