Girl group MEOVV, after celebrating their first 'AAA 2025' award win, displayed even stronger confidence.

Miyao (Suin, Gawon, Anna, Narin, Ella) took home the honors of "Best Music Video" and "Best Musician Group," achieving the double crown at the "10th Anniversary Asia Artist Awards 2025" (10th Anniversary Asia Artist Awards 2025, hereinafter "AAA 2025") held at the Kaohsiung National Stadium on December 6 last year.

Gwon-won smiled, saying, "I went there with no thought of winning an award, just excited to do well on stage, but when we actually received the award, I screamed with my members as we returned to the waiting room."

He added, "Being able to stand on stage and attend the awards ceremony is all thanks to the staff. The staff are the ones I am most grateful to, and it felt truly strange when they expressed pride and congratulated me. I felt happy as if I had repaid them even a little, but above all, being recognized by the staff brought me the greatest joy."

The stage of this 'AAA 2025' became an unforgettable experience for the members. They delivered powerful performances with 'Burning Up' and 'Hands Up', drawing enthusiastic responses from global fans and live audiences.

Narin said, "We prepared the remix version and choreography with a focus on delivering an even more exciting performance. Performing on stage in a crowded place made us excited, so we added some mid-performance reactions and enjoyed the show. It was also a great boost that many artists enjoyed our stage with interest. We are grateful."

Gawon recalled, "The audience's energy was truly wonderful, and we enjoyed the stage while receiving that energy," adding, "It will remain a memorable performance where we breathed in sync with the viewers."

He also added, "We unveiled the remix performance of 'Burning Up' at AAA for the first time. Since first impressions are important, I was worried because I wanted to show my best, but instead, it added energy and allowed us to create a high-quality stage. Although I was nervous, I could hear the audience's cheers through the in-ear monitors. Thanks to that energy, we were able to finish well."

Soo-in stated, "Although the choreography was indeed difficult, once I stepped onto the 360th-degree stage, I felt even more excited. Perhaps because of the enthusiastic response from many, I felt more relieved than tired."

Their ability to exert even more strength was due to their agency Double Black Label's family, actor Park Bo-gum, and members of the group ALLDAY PROJECT.

Gawon said, "We cheered for each other in real time. The waiting rooms were right next to each other, so we could hear each other's cheering voices through the wall." She added, "We also exchanged greetings at the artist seats, and after the stage ended, they watched us very happily even when we were caught in the reaction cameras."

Narin smiled, saying, "Senior Park Bo-gum praised us a lot. He kept saying, 'Miyao is doing well' and 'You're pretty,' which made us feel good. It seemed like he was promoting us even harder than the company."

Su-in also expressed gratitude, saying, "I am thankful that Senior Park Bo-gum clapped for me, and even though he must have been nervous, he came out first to greet me."

Another artist who left the deepest impression was singer and actress IU. Gwon said, "I was truly happy when Senior IU told me that she enjoyed the stage," and added, "All the members enjoyed watching 'Vigilante' and it was even more meaningful to meet her in person."

Soo-in also revealed her fandom, saying, "As soon as the lineup was announced, I even bragged to my parents that IU, my senior, would be appearing."

The award at this year's 'AAA 2025' served as motivation for Miyao to move forward with future activities. Narin said, "I received the award right after our 'Burning Up' activities, and it felt like it gave me the strength to take the next step. I took it as a sign to do even better, and my mindset toward future work has changed."

The members also expressed their hopes for the 'AAA 2026' stage. Anna said, "We were able to showcase various concepts through this album, and we hope to have the opportunity to present them on the AAA stage as well." Ella added, "Through this promotion, we gained a lot of confidence. If we were to stand on a 360-degree stage again, we believe we could have more fun and perform even better."

Miyao, who debuted in 2024, has garnered attention for her mature, polished performances and dazzling visuals, defying her rookie status. Last year, the group achieved remarkable success within just one year of debut, including entering Melon's "TOP 100," the main chart of Korea's largest music streaming platform, with their song "BURNING UP," solidifying their position as a representative fifth-generation girl group.

Now in their second year since debut, they have also felt growth and change. They emphasized that team cohesion has also become even stronger.

Narin said, "I felt a significant change during the recent fan showcase. In the past, I was shy around fans and could hardly speak, but this time, having prepared the album with great dedication, I had much to say. Through genuine communication with the fans, I felt that we have grown significantly."

Gawon said, "While being active, I have actually become more ruthless and developed greater ambition," while Suin confidently stated, "Our teamwork has improved to the point where we can boost each other's energy. Our minds are also becoming more in sync, and our energy synergy is gradually getting better."

This teamwork also shone in their recently released second mini-album, "BITE NOW." The synergy among members, which Miyao highlighted as a strength, harmonized their distinct personalities, vocal tones, and performances, further solidifying the group's unique identity.

Gawon said, "If I had to describe Miyao in one word, it would be 'a lovely predator.' It may seem like a contradictory expression, but I believe our team's identity lies in proving that opposing charms can coexist on stage."

He added, "All five members possess distinct personalities and clear charms. Sometimes one member stands out, while at other times they blend together naturally. Through this process, synergy is created, generating a special energy that allows each member to shine even brighter."

In addition, he stated, "Miyao's strength lies in his fearlessness toward new challenges across all genres," adding, "Since every song on this album has a distinct color, it is an album that can be enjoyed according to individual tastes. Through this activity, I wanted to introduce Miyao's identity to many people, and I feel we have come one step closer to that goal," expressing his confidence.

This album also holds special meaning for the members. Narin said, "Even if difficult times come later, I think we will be able to regain our composure by recalling this period." She added, "All five of us prepared while looking toward the same goal, and our will and ambition for this promotion were truly great. Even after a long time has passed and we look back, this will be an album that remains in our memories for a long time."

Miyaoh has vowed to further expand its connection with the public through this activity. Gwon stated, "The goal itself is to engage in various activities. I want to break the image of being mysterious. It seems an image has formed at some point. I want to show more of the charm of the group Miyaoh and each individual member on broadcasts and stages."

He added, "I want to show a stylish side on stage and a human, honest side in variety shows and content, and I hope people will approach me a bit more comfortably."

Above all, meeting with fans was cited as the top goal. Ella said, "Just as we have prepared for a long time, we now want to enjoy our activities. We want to spend happy times meeting with our fans."

Soo-in said, "I want to appear on more stages, from music shows to award ceremony stages, to introduce Miyao's music to more people," and Anna added, "I felt sorry for making the fans wait for so long. Through this activity, I hope to meet them more often."
