ATEEZ won the Grand Prize at the 2026 The Fact Music Awards.

ATEEZ won the Grand Prize at the 2026 The Fact Music Awards held at the Busan Asiad Main Stadium on September 19. They won the Icon of the Year award and also received Artist of the Year, becoming a double winner.

With this award, ATEEZ has reportedly recorded their eighth Grand Prize overall. The Icon of the Year award is determined by combining 60 percent of album and digital sales, 20 percent of performances, and 20 percent of judges' evaluations.

The members said that these days feel like every day is truly a day of gratitude. They said that this award is meaningful because of the fans who silently support them, and they also reportedly said that it is such a big award that they cannot express it in words.

I heard that the stage setup was also good. They started with Adrenaline, unveiled the MAMACITA stage for the first time, and finished with BAD, the title track of their 14th mini album.

It is said that MAMACITA was a festival-style performance based on a Latin sound. Since it was a stage that had never been shown on a music show before, I imagine the reaction at the venue was enthusiastic.

Given how much ATEEZ has accomplished this year, the news of the Grand Prize was even more welcome. Just as they promised to show us many more amazing performances, I look forward to their next activities.
