ATEEZ, ANTIM, and Harts2Hearts will shine on the "ASEA 2026" stage.

The organizing committee announced on March 12 that ATEEZ, ANTIM, and Hatsu-Hatsu have confirmed their appearance at the 3rd Asia Star Entertainer Awards 2026 (ASEA 2026) will be held at Beruna Dome in Saitama Prefecture, Japan, on May 16th and 17th.

ATEEZ (Hong Joong, Seong Hwa, Yun Ho, Yeo Sang, San, Min Gi, Woo Young, and Jong Ho) swept global charts with their 12th mini album "Golden Hour: Part 3" and their 12th mini album "Golden Hour: Part 3" (In Your Fantasy Edition). In particular, he made his sixth million-selling album with his 13th mini-album "Golden Hour: Part 4," released in February, showing off the dignity of K-pop representatives. On top of that, starting with Korea in July last year, the world tour "In Your Fantasy," which took place in 12 North American cities and three Japanese cities, has been expanded to Asian and Australian tours to meet global fans and show their "performance powerhouse."

Hive's first Japanese group AnTim (Uiju, Huma, K, Nicholas, Yuma, Joe, Haruah, Taki, and Maki), which debuted in 2022, released their Korean debut album "Back to Life" in October last year and performed successfully. After becoming a million seller on the first day of its release, it recorded 1,331,733 cumulative shipments based on the circle chart, making it a top tier group. In addition to ranking No. 1 in Korean music broadcasting, it has achieved meaningful results in major global charts, including its first entry into the U.S. Billboard chart and No. 1 in Japan's Oricon rankings. Those who have proven their global popularity are set to tour Asia and will make a comeback after releasing their third Japanese mini-album, "We on fire," in April.

SM Entertainment's new multi-member girl group Hatsu-Hatsu (Jiwoo, Carmen, Yuha, Stella, Jooeun, Ana, Ian, and Yeon), which was introduced for the first time since Girls' Generation, will be on ASEA for two consecutive years. Harts-to-Harts, who won the Rookie of the Year award last year, achieved 100 million streams on Spotify with his debut song "The Chase" and performed like the "best rookie." Harts-to-Harts, which recently celebrated its first anniversary, has achieved a new career high by sweeping the top of the domestic music charts with its new song "RUDE!" and has achieved remarkable results in the global charts as well. In addition, the first fan meeting held in February proved its ticket power by selling out all seats with limited visibility.

Launched in 2024, 'ASEA' has established itself as a global awards ceremony that carefully selects and awards artists who exert influence worldwide beyond Asia every year and presents high-quality performances. This year, a large number of top-class artists who have achieved significant results over the past year will participate.

ASEA 2026 is hosted by NEWSEN, an entertainment and sports media outlet that celebrates its 21st anniversary this year, and @style, a magazine specializing in star and style that celebrates its 14th anniversary, and is organized by the ASEA Organizing Committee.

"ASEA 2026" will announce artist lineup, award categories, and screening criteria sequentially on its official website later.
