ATEEZ received a total of 27 votes, earning them the titles of both ‘Song of the Year’ and ‘Artist of the Year.’ This shows that industry interest and support for the group have grown beyond the popularity of a single hit song to encompass ATEEZ as a whole. One reason the interest sparked by their music has developed into appreciation for ATEEZ as a group is their polished stage performances and live singing skills, which they have honed over years of activity. Even amid their intense performances, the way each member's individuality shines through while maintaining a strong balance on stage has earned them recognition as talented artists, going beyond simply being appreciated as memes. The YouTube channel ‘9트징,’ featuring Choi San and Jung Wooyoung, has also played an important role in showcasing the group's friendly chemistry offstage. With all these elements coming together, ATEEZ have established themselves as a group that represents the year, going beyond being known for just one hit song.
