At the prestigious 39th Japan Gold Disc Awards, held by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) on March 12, aespa clinched two awards: ‘New Artist of the Year’ and ‘Best 3 New Artists.’
Since their official debut in Japan with the single ‘Hot Mess’ on July 3, 2023, aespa has captivated fans with sold-out arena tours and groundbreaking performances at the iconic Tokyo Dome. Making history as the first overseas female artist to sell out the venue for two consecutive years, aespa has cemented a devoted local following.
In 2024, aespa continued their winning streak by dominating the charts with a triple-hit sensation, including the double title tracks 'Supernova' and 'Armageddon' from their first full-length album, along with the release of their fifth mini-album 'Whiplash.' Their remarkable success transcended borders, earning them the title of ‘Group of the Year’ at ‘Billboard’s Women in Music 2025.’ With their recent triumph at the Japan Gold Disc Awards, aespa shows no signs of slowing down on the global stage.
