Group &TEAM showed off their rising status by winning two awards, including a Daesang, at the major awards ceremony ‘ASEA 2026’.
On May 16, at the ‘Asia Star Entertainer Awards 2026’ (ASEA) held at Belluna Dome in Saitama Prefecture, Japan, &TEAM took home ‘Performance of the Year’ (one of the Daesangs) and the main prize ‘The Platinum’.
Their solid musical capabilities and stage competitiveness received high praise. &TEAM shared their gratitude, saying, “We thank LUNÉ for giving us such a meaningful award. We will continue to work hard to bring you even cooler performances and music.”
&TEAM previously set a milestone as the first Japanese artist to achieve million-seller status in both Korea and Japan with ‘Back to Life’ and ‘Go in Blind’. Their third Japanese mini album ‘We on Fire’, released in April, also surpassed 1 million copies sold on its first day, marking three consecutive million-seller projects.
Fitting for their ‘Performance of the Year’ win, &TEAM heated up the venue with an intense stage. They filled the stage for about 10 minutes, starting with ‘We on Fire’ and continuing through ‘MISMATCH’ and ‘Bewitched’. The performance blended the group’s signature ‘Wolf DNA’ with the tight teamwork of the nine members, clearly showcasing &TEAM’s unique energy.
Making a grand entrance amidst fiery stage effects, &TEAM boasted delicate expression through deeper charisma and non-stop synchronized dancing in ‘We on Fire’. They shifted the mood with warm, upbeat energy in ‘MISMATCH’, and captivated the audience in ‘Bewitched’ with powerful choreography, explosive vocals, and the distinct charms of all nine members.
Meanwhile, &TEAM will meet global fans in 13 cities through their second Asia tour, ‘2026 &TEAM CONCERT TOUR BLAZE THE WAY’. After successfully kicking off the tour at K-Arena Yokohama in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, on May 13 and 14, they have announced encore concerts at Belluna Dome on September 5 and 6. They are also set to appear at the ‘2026 Weverse Con Festival’ on June 7.
