The Asia Artist Awards returned on December 6 for a landmark celebration, marking its 10th anniversary with a star-studded ceremony at Kaohsiung National Stadium in Taiwan. As one of the few major Korean award shows that honor both actors and musicians, the AAA has become a defining event in the Asian entertainment calendar, bringing together leading figures from K-pop, K-dramas, and Asian cinema.
Organized by StarNews and the AAA Organizing Committee, the 2025 edition embraced its milestone year with expanded stages, heightened production, and an impressive lineup of performers, including Stray Kids, IVE, and LE SSERAFIM.
The main program celebrated excellence across music, acting, and popularity categories, including honors such as Daesang (Grand Prize), Best Artist, Best Performance, and various genre and acting awards. Live streaming was available on Weverse and MTN Korea, giving global fans access to one of the year’s biggest multi-industry showcases.
The celebration continues on December 8 with the AAA Festival, an extension of the main event designed to spotlight additional performances and fan-focused programming.
