ENHYPEN has secured the Daesang at ‘ASEA’ for the second year in a row!
On the 16th, at the ‘3rd Asia Star Entertainer Awards 2026’ (ASEA 2026) held at the Saitama Belluna Dome in Japan, ENHYPEN (Jungwon, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, Ni-ki) grabbed two Daesang trophies: ‘Artist of the Year’ and ‘Album of the Year.’ They also took home ‘The Platinum’ award, bringing their total to three wins!
With this, ENHYPEN has won the top prize at this ceremony for two consecutive years. Having previously won ‘Album of the Year’ at ‘ASEA 2025,’ they have once again proven their soaring status by claiming the highest honor given to the artist with the most dazzling performance of the year.
ENHYPEN shared their gratitude, saying, “We are so thankful to receive such big awards thanks to ENGENE. We love breathing together with you on stage, and we want to continue showing you performances where we can share these emotions.” They added, “Half of the year has already passed. We won’t stop and will continue to show you our best for the remaining six months. A really great album is scheduled to come out within this year. We are working hard on recording, so please look forward to it. We also want to thank the members of BELIFT LAB and producer Bang Si-hyuk for their support with this album.”
ENHYPEN closed out the ceremony with a performance depicting the narrative of vampires on the run. As soon as the intro began, most of the audience changed their lightsticks to red, the symbol of vampires, and stood up in a wave of enthusiastic cheers.
The opening left a powerful impact, featuring Sunghoon’s charismatic walking and Sunoo’s surprise appearance from the audience. ENHYPEN showcased their wide musical spectrum by performing four distinct tracks: the solemn ‘No Way Back (Feat. So!YoON!)’, the rhythmically groovy ‘Big Girls Don’t Cry’, the sharp choreography of ‘Knife’, and ‘Helium’, where they connected with fans one by one. The explosive sing-along during the encore of ‘Knife’ filled the venue, creating a spectacular scene befitting Daesang artists.
Meanwhile, after successfully kicking off their fourth world tour ‘BLOOD SAGA’ in Seoul from the 1st to the 3rd, ENHYPEN will head to South and North America in July and August, Macau in October, and a four-dome tour in Japan from December to February next year. They plan to continue their unstoppable global momentum with a total of 32 shows across 21 cities worldwide, including Asia and Europe, through March of next year.
