SB19, HORI7ON attending 2023 Asia Artist Awards in the Philippines
MANILA, Philippines — P-Pop groups SB19 and HORI7ON are the first local acts confirmed to be attending the 2023 Asia Artist Awards (AAA), which will be held for the first time in the Philippines this December.
The two groups were announced in the latest wave of attending artists which include boy bands Kingdom, ATBO, LUN8, Oneus, and the Seventeen sub-unit BSS or BooSeokSoon composed of DK, Hoshi, and Seungkwan.
BSS' attendance at the 2023 AAA, which will be held in Philippine Arena where Seventeen performed last year, comes a month before Seventeen returns to the country for its "Follow" tour — this time around, performing at the Philippines Sports Stadium next door.
One of ATBO's members Won Bin lived in the Philippines for a decade and is fluent in Korean, English, and Tagalog.
