Get ready to say "Annyeonghaseyo" as the Philippines prepares to host the prestigious Asia Artist Awards on 14 December at the Philippine Arena.

Organized by Money Today, StarNews and MTN, the Asia Artist Awards have honored outstanding accomplishments in the entertainment sector every year since 2016. The awards have traveled to South Korea, Vietnam and Japan, and the eighth edition is about to make its debut in the Philippines.

Hallyu fans all over the nation are in for a treat as Asian stars converge for this vibrant celebration. The event will be orchestrated by the AAA organizing committee, TONZ Entertainment and PULP Live World. Happee Sy-Go of PULP Live World confirmed the exciting development on her social media platform and expressed appreciation for PULP's selection as the Philippine partner to host this year's awards.

The event serves as a tribute to Asian artists working in music, television and film, with a focus on South Korean idols in particular. Prizes like the Grand Prize, Asia Celebrity, Idol Plus Popularity Award and Rookie of the Year will be given to the best in the business.

Famous Korean idol groups, musicians and actors have graced the awards' stage to accept accolades, host segments and give dazzling performances. Last year's star-studded event saw NewJeans, SEVENTEEN, TREASURE, IVE, Han Sohee, Bona, Lee Jae Wook and many more.

Legendary performers like BTS, SEVENTEEN, Lim Young-woong, TWICE and Kang Daniel are on the list of musicians who've been feted at the awards, along with international artists such as MAX and Anne-Marie, who won the Best Pop Artist Award in 2020.

The Philippine Arena has a 50,000-seating capacity, so the Asian Artist Awards evening will certainly be a monumental event celebrating Asian heritage — all set to unfold right here in the Philippines.
