On the afternoon of May 29, “ASIA STAR ENTERTAINER AWARDS 2025 presented by zozotown” (hereinafter ASEA 2025) was held in K Arena Yokohama, Yokohama, Japan, where music, stars, and fans become one. The event was hosted by MONSTA X Hyungwon, actress Kim Hyeyoon, and THE BOYZ Younghoon.
Last year’s success of “Super Lady,” “Fate” and “Klaxon” hit the charts again this year, recording 1,063,526 copies (record sales for a week based on the release date) with their recently released mini 8th album “We Are.”
Thanks to their popularity, they embraced RECORD OF THE YEAR, the last of the four grand prizes. They won a total of three awards, including the main prize, THE PLATINUM and the Global K-POP LEADER. It is all the more meaningful because the award was received after renewing the contract with the agency Cube Entertainment as a whole and changing the team name to I-DLE starting with the 8th mini album.
I-DLE said, “We’re still nervous because we’re not used to receiving such a big award. We’re so thankful. I think we could never have received this award just with our music. I’m so grateful,” they said. “We can’t show you new and amazing performances every time, but we’ll try our best to be consistent and brazen-faced I-DLE who always do our music. We’re really just starting, so please take care of us for us for the next 50 or 100 years.”
