Ateez earned its first nod from American Music Awards, according to a list published by the award organizer Wednesday.
The band is shortlisted for the favorite K-pop artist award alongside Rose of Blackpink, Jimin and RM of BTS, and Stray Kids.
Last month, Ateez received K-pop artist of the year at 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards following the success of its tenth EP, “Golden Hour: Part 1.” Released in May 2024, it was the fourth most sold album in the US that year by CD sales, with 250,000 sold. The EP debuted at No. 2 on Billboard 200 and the subsequent EP, “Golden Hour: Part 2,” claimed the chart’s top spot.
The band will be heading to North America in July and August for its “In Your Fantasy” tour, visiting 12 cities in the region for 14 shows.
