New artists who are responsible for the future of global music market will appear at the 2022 AAA.
The nine-member global group &TEAM and the three-member virtual group SAGONG_EE_HO will attend the 2022 Asia Artist Awards IN JAPAN in Nagoya, Japan, on December 13th to present a special stage that breaks down borders and virtual reality walls.
&TEAM (K, Fuma, Nicholas, EJ, Yuma, Jo, Harua, Taki, and Maki) is the first global group to be presented by HYBE Labels Japan. They are determined to become “nine people with different personalities that come together to build a team and connect various worlds.” They, who have continued from different starting points, run for a more grown tomorrow based on the strength of solidarity and positive energy.
Of course, not just Korea and Japan, but also fans around the world are focusing on &TEAM’s debut on December 7th. In particular, “2022 AAA” is expected to be more interesting in that it will be the group’s first official stage after its debut.
In addition, 2022 AAA will be the first ever to welcome the appearance of virtual artists. The main character is SAGONG_EE_HO (OreeR.C, XOONY, and Itaewon Park), who officially debuted in June as a virtual group created to represent the MZ generation’s anxiety or “underdog” sentiment in the metaverse era.
SAGONG_EE_HO, who recently released its new song “CIRCUS DA” following its debut song “WAKE UP,” is presenting a new paradigm to the K-POP industry with its unique worldview and colorful marketing. In particular, “2022 AAA” will remove barriers between the real and virtual world by presenting fresh and unique virtual openings that have not been seen at any previous awards ceremonies.
