ENHYPEN hit the jackpot at the 3rd Asia Star Entertainer Awards 2026 (ASEA 2026) held on the 16th at the Saitama Belluna Dome in Japan! The group took home the highest honors, winning both “Artist of the Year” and “Album of the Year.” They didn’t stop there, adding “The Platinum” award to their collection for a total of three trophies.
With this win, ENHYPEN has achieved the incredible feat of winning Daesangs for two consecutive years, following their success at ASEA 2025. It is a clear, quantitative proof that they are one of the most dazzling teams in the global music scene over the past year.
Taking the stage, ENHYPEN expressed their gratitude, saying, “We received these big awards thanks to our fandom, ENGENE.” They also dropped a surprise comeback spoiler, revealing that “a really cool new album is scheduled to be released within this year and is currently being recorded,” while also thanking their agency members and producer Bang Si-hyuk.
The awards ceremony reached its climax with a performance that highlighted ENHYPEN’s unique storytelling. As the intro, featuring a concept of vampires on the run, began, the audience filled the venue with red lightsticks, standing up and cheering wildly.
Starting with a sensual opening by Sunghoon and Sunoo, the group delivered live performances of four tracks: the solemn “No Way Back,” the groovy “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” the sharp choreography of “Knife,” and “Helium,” where they connected deeply with fans. The final song triggered a massive sing-along that nearly shook the venue, showcasing their overwhelming stage presence.
ENHYPEN also recently shared some great news regarding their digital charts. According to Spotify on the 17th, the title track “Bite Me” from their 4th mini album has reached 500,019,542 cumulative streams, marking their first song to surpass the 500 million streaming milestone since debut.
After successfully kicking off their fourth world tour, “BLOOD SAGA,” in Seoul, ENHYPEN will head to South America and North America in July and August, followed by Macau in October, and a four-dome tour in Japan starting in December. They plan to further expand their global influence with a grand journey consisting of 32 shows across 21 cities worldwide until March of next year.
