The group &TEAM won two awards including the grand prize at the ASEA 2026 awards.
&TEAM won one of the grand prizes, the "Performance of the Year" (ASEA PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR), and the main award "The Platinum" (THE PLATINUM) at the Asia Star Entertainer Awards 2026 (ASIA STAR ENTERTAINER AWARDS), held on the 16th at Belluna Dome in Saitama Prefecture, Japan.
&TEAM received high marks for their solid musical capabilities and strong stage competitiveness. &TEAM said, "We thank LUNE (fan club name) for giving us this meaningful award. We will continue to work hard to bring you even more impressive performances and music."
Earlier, &TEAM set a milestone as the first Japanese artist to produce million-sellers in Korea and Japan respectively with "Back to Life" and "Go in Blind." Their Japanese third mini album released in April, "We on Fire," also exceeded 1 million copies sold on its first day of release, marking three consecutive million-sellers.
&TEAM raised the excitement in the venue with an intense performance befitting the "Performance of the Year" award. Beginning with "We on Fire," they launched into "MISMATCH" and "Bewitched," filling the stage for about 10 minutes. The stage, which embodied the team's symbol "wolf DNA," combined with the nine members' solid teamwork, vividly showcased &TEAM's unique energy.
Appearing grandly amid a blazing stage production, &TEAM drew attention for intensified charisma in "We on Fire" and continuous synchronized choreography that demonstrated delicate expressiveness. In "MISMATCH" they shifted the mood with warm, upbeat energy, and in "Bewitched" they immersed the audience with powerful choreography, explosive vocal power and nine distinct charms.
