NewJeans will be at the 2023 Asia Artist Awards after winning a lot of Daesang awards at the 2023 MAMA and MMA.

As we shall see, the Asia Artist Awards (AAA) are an event that recognizes and rewards the outstanding work and accomplishments of Asian artists in music, TV, and movies.

People in the South Korean entertainment business look forward to this awards show every year because it always has a great lineup.

The Philippines is the fourth Asian country that will hold AAA. The first three were South Korea, Vietnam, and Japan.

With a capacity of up to 55,000 people, the Philippines stadium is the largest indoor stadium in the world, according to Guinness World Records. The 2023 AAA will be held there.

As in past years, the 2023 AAA will bring together a lot of actors and singers from South Korea and other Asian countries with a lot of ability.

But, unlike some other awards where clear criteria are given for each group, most of the prizes at AAA are decided by fan votes alone, and the rest are given out based on criteria that are kept secret.
The organizers say that voting information for most of the award categories comes from people all over the world, in places like Asia, Europe, South America, and North America.

The first round of AAA voting ended successfully on November 9. From November 14 to November 30, people could vote for the Favorite Male/Female Actor and Favorite Male/Female Singer awards.

In the final round of voting, the best artists will be chosen as winners in each area. The winners will be announced at the award ceremony.

Fans think that this battle is very tough.
Notably, NewJeans, who broke the record by winning all four Daesang awards at the 2023 MAMA and MMA, didn't get many votes in the first round.

This means that NewJeans might not be one of the female acts who win at the 2023 AAA.
At the same time, Sakurazaka46 and NiziU, two Japanese girl groups, are in first place with huge vote shares.

The 2023 AAA, on the other hand, will be held and shown on December 14.

NewJeans' Minji touched fans' hearts with a handwritten letter on her birthday — even while the group is currently unable to promote due to legal issues.

On May 7, Minji celebrated her birthday by sharing a heartfelt message on the group’s personal SNS account, which the members opened themselves to stay connected with fans.

Minji began her letter with honesty, writing, “I think I’m living a busier life than I expected. When I finally looked up, it was already May, and it was my birthday.”

She admitted that she had a lot she wanted to say, but her thoughts felt “messy.” Still, her message to fans was clear, “I just hope that I, our members, and Bunnies can all be happy. Happiness is the biggest goal in my life.”

Minji then opened up about her personal journey and struggles, saying, “I sometimes think that running toward my happiness by doing what I love might look foolish to others. But isn’t giving up your happiness now for the sake of a future that might not even come… too harsh on yourself?”

Despite everything, she ended on a hopeful note, “I really miss the times when we shared our feelings through the good music we made together. But I always look forward to what’s ahead."

She added, "We didn’t stop here, and we’re not going to stop! It might look like we’re standing still, but I believe we’re growing deeper.”

Her message comes during a difficult time for NewJeans. The group announced last year that they were cutting ties with ADOR, their original agency, after trust was broken. They later began working independently under the new name ‘NJZ’.

However, ADOR responded with legal action — claiming the exclusive contract with NewJeans was still valid and asking the court to stop the group from promoting or signing deals.

The court sided with ADOR and granted an injunction, forcing NewJeans to pause their activities. Their appeal was rejected, and they’ve now filed a second appeal.

Through it all, Minji’s message proves one thing — even when forced to stop, NewJeans' hearts are still moving forward.
