The group TEMPEST has proven its global popularity.
TEMPEST was selected as the best male idol in the Vietnam institutional sector at the '2025 Brand of the Year Awards' announced by the Korea Consumer Forum on the 28th.
The 'Brand of the Year Awards' is the largest domestic brand awards that selects and honors the best brands that shone in the year through nationwide consumer voting, now in its 23rd year.
TEMPEST proved its rapid growth by winning in the male idol (rookie) and male idol (rising star) institutional sectors at the 'Brand of the Year Awards' in 2022 and 2023, respectively. Last year, it was named the best male idol in both the domestic and Vietnam institutional sectors, achieving two crowns and further solidifying its global influence.
This year as well, it won honors in the Vietnam institutional sector, once again confirming its strong presence in overseas markets.
TEMPEST expressed gratitude, saying, "It is an honor to receive such a significant award. Above all, I believe we were able to stand in this position thanks to everyone who loves TEMPEST and listens to our music."
He added, "We are currently preparing hard with the goal of a comeback in October. We will do our best to visit you as soon as possible so that you won't have to wait long. Please continue to show us your love."
Meanwhile, TEMPEST recently released the digital single 'My Way,' used as the opening theme for the Japanese TV animation 'Choonam: The Real Fighter.' Along with this, they held a release commemorative showcase in Osaka and Tokyo and had meaningful time with local fans.
TEMPEST plans to continue its active activities both domestically and internationally, and through its comeback in the second half of the year, it aims to meet global fans with more advanced music and performances.
