ATEEZ Wins Four Awards at the 33rd Hanteo Music Awards

The group ATEEZ received four awards, including Artist of the Year/Daesang, at the “33rd Hanteo Music Awards 2025 (HMA 2025)” held on the afternoon of February 15 at the KSPO Dome in Seoul Olympic Park. By winning the Main Prize, World Stage Award, and Top Global Artist Award as well, they overcame a seven-year curse.

During the Daesang ceremony, ATEEZ emphasized their fandom, Sarang. The members expressed their gratitude by saying, “Today is the day when our Comeback activities come to an end. Most importantly, Sarang! Without Sarang, we wouldn’t have been able to grow this far.” They continued, “We renewed our contracts for seven more years and then made our first comeback. From our perspective, how much time passes really isn’t that important. What matters most is having ATEEZ and Sarang together.”

Even at the Main Prize ceremony, the members prepared a special message for Sarang. They presented an acrostic created from the initial letters of “Sarang” and said, “Every moment spent with Sarang has been truly beautiful.” By saying, “Of course, but we really want to say this sincerely: We really like you, love you, Sarang,” they drew explosive cheers from the fans.

At the World Stage Award ceremony, ATEEZ pledged, “We dedicate this award entirely to Sarang. Since our name includes the word ‘world,’ we will strive to be a team worthy of it.” ATEEZ was the first K-pop artist to hold a solo concert at the Paris La Défense Arena, and they achieved a triple crown on domestic music shows with their comeback title track “Adrenaline.” In particular, their first victory on “Show! Music Core” was especially meaningful as it marked the first time they had won such an award since their Debut.

Other Daesang winners that day were Stray Kids (Best Album), G-DRAGON (Digital Song of the Year), and ENHYPEN (Best Performance).
