QWER (Chodan, Magenta, Hina, Siyeon), who won the "AAA 2025" Best Band Award and was reborn as a "trust and listen band" in name and reality, expressed her ambition with a unique refreshing voice.

QWER won the 'Best Band Award' at the '10th Anniversary Asian Artist Awards 2025 (hereinafter 'AAA 2025') held at Kaohsiung National Stadium on December 6 last year.

QWER, which debuted with Discord in October 2023, has since made a series of hits such as "Addiction to Worries," "Clear My Name," and "Trying to hold back tears," drawing an upward curve as a "trust and listen" band. Furthermore, each song released shows the potential to search and run for a long time at the top of major domestic music charts.

The unique refreshing band performance is also indispensable. It has established itself as a band, taking the stage of the "2024 Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival," a representative festival in Korea, less than a year after its debut, with solid skills and their own cheerful and lovely charm.

As a result, he won the Rookie of the Year award in the Singer category at 'AAA 2024' and won the Best Band Award at 'AAA 2025'. In addition, he performed on the stage of "ACON 2025" and ended the year beautifully with efforts by breathing with global fans.

Recently, Star News met with QWER at its headquarters in Jongno-gu, Seoul, and heard about its future aspirations.

- After winning the Rookie of the Year award in the 'AAA 2024' singer category, you won the Best Band Award at 'AAA 2025', which celebrated its 10th anniversary last year. If you have any feelings.

▶Chodan = I am happy to receive both the first and last award and the best band award from 'AAA'. (Which of the two was more pleasing?) It was "Mom or Dad?"' I can't choose because it feels the same. (laughs)

▶Siyeon = 'AAA 2025' was also really good. There were many flower decorations to celebrate the 10th anniversary. It felt like I was watching spring in winter, and all the stages were touching. It's an outdoor stage, so it's really pretty even when the sun is setting. The stage that I saw with the sunset was so wonderful that I cried. In addition, I was truly grateful for giving me a valuable award. Every moment of the day remained touching.

- During the performance of 'ACON 2025', it received great support from global fans. As the first world tour since its debut has been successful recently, the joy of increasing overseas recognition is likely to be great.

▶Hina = That's right. Starting with Seoul Con, he went on a tour of the Americas and toured eight cities and Asia. I didn't know there were so many rock crabs (fandom) in the United States. I'm so thankful and proud that they found our music and came to the concert somehow. Above all, those who got to know us through 'AAA' seem to have visited the tour, so we are having happy days.

- On the official YouTube account of "AAA", there was a comment saying, "Watching the QWER stage makes me grand as if I'm watching the perfect ending of the animation." It seems that the combination of your individual narratives and your growing years as a band impressed many people.

▶Hina = It seems like a comment that fits us well. At the end of 2025, 'AAA' was able to finish perfectly. Thank you for watching the happy and splendid performance and describing it as a "perfect ending."

▶ Siyeon = If it's a self-written narrative, isn't it the past, present, and future. It's like when I show you a more beautiful future. It was a performance that felt like the ending, but we are not the ending, so please continue to show a lot of interest. (laughs)

- If there was a memorable performance or winner at the "AAA 2025" award ceremony.

The person who felt ▶Magenta = aura was Shuhua from I-DLE. When he said, "Who am I?" the audience all raised their names. I've never had such a creepy experience.

▶Chodan = Woods' "Drowning" performance is memorable. It was a stage where you could fully feel as if you were at a concert hall. We also sang along with the lyrics, and it felt like you were leading us. The way he dominated the stage was really cool.

▶Siyeon = JJ LIN's performance during the sunset was really beautiful. I still can't believe I met my senior, and it was touching that I was able to sit in the singer's seat and watch the scene.

▶Hina = IU's acceptance speech was memorable. I think I felt relaxed and aura. It was cool to look calm and heavy.
