We're sure all the sneak peeks of articles can be a little dizzying, but fear not! The Daebak Company has got you covered for who to watch out for in the Asian Artist Awards 2023.

The Asian Artist Awards (AAA) is an award ceremony that started back in 2016. Organized by the South Korea-based newspaper Money Today and MTN (a broadcasting channel that reports on the market, stocks, economy, etc.), it focuses on being the first award show to combine K-Pop, K-Drama, and K-Movie in one ceremony.

 The Asian Artist Awards, a mega celebration of all things K-Pop, K-Drama, and K-Movies, is ready to make its grand splash in the Philippines for the first time. This event will take place at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan on December 14.

 Known as the largest mixed-use indoor theater per the Guinness World Record, this venue promises to serve as the perfect backdrop for the glitz and glamor of the awards. It will be packed with incredible performances, star-studded appearances, and breathtaking moments that celebrate the best of Asian entertainment.

 In its eighth year, entertainment news provider StarNews remains the host. The organizing body of the award ceremony is the Asia Artist Awards 조직위원회 (Organizing Committee), TONZ Entertainment, and Philippine concert promoter PULP Live World. 

The hosts guiding us through the award ceremony are none other than IVE's Jang Wonyoung, Kang Daniel, and ZEROBASEONE's Sung Hanbin.

The lineup shows just exactly how grand the ceremony will be. From the K-Pop idols all the way to the K-Drama and K-Movie actors, it’s a lineup people would not want to miss. 

As the lineup is currently being revealed slowly by the Asian Artist Awards organizing body and PULP Live World, all we know is that it is nothing short of spectacular and grand. The first announcement of K-Pop idols to grace the 2023 AAA stage are NewJeans and LE SSERAFIM, NMIXX, BOYNEXTDOOR, and ZEROBASEONE.

In the second announcement of the lineup last September 12, it was revealed that Stray Kids, THE BOYZ, ITZY, former IZ*ONE and soloist Kwon Eunbi, and a boy group from HYBE JAPAN &TEAM will appear at the awards ceremony.
