IU and Stray Kids were the biggest winners of the night at the 10th Anniversary Asia Artist Awards 2025, each taking home six trophies—with Stray Kids earning eight total when counting their unit and individual wins.
The ceremony took place on December 6th at 5 PM KST at Kaohsiung National Stadium in Taiwan, where the landmark 10th-year celebration unfolded under the theme “X.” The nearly five-hour global broadcast brought together the stars who shaped K-pop, K-drama, and K-film in 2025, with more than 55,000 fans filling the stadium.
The show also featured exclusive collaboration stages. MCs Junho and Jang Wonyoung opened the night with a winter-themed waltz performance. Lee Jun Young teamed up with KiiiKiii for a powerful rendition of “Back,” while JJ Lin and WOODZ delivered a stunning duet of “Back to Back.” Actor Choo Young Woo surprised fans by appearing at the end of Yena’s stage, and Park Bo Gum and Takeru Satoh joined Rei in IVE’s “ATTITUDE” performance for the “Rampaging Guinea Pig” segment.
