ATEEZ named preferred K-pop act in American Music Awards 2025 list
Rewritten Article:
K-pop sensation Ateez has made history, securing a coveted spot in the Favorite K-pop Artist category at the 2025 American Music Awards [1]. Amidst the celebratory chaos, it's worth noting that it's not just Ateez shining bright – their management agency, KQ Entertainment, is also basking in the limelight, eyeing a public listing [2].
Announcing its intention to go public in the coming year, KQ Entertainment, spearheaded by the success of Ateez and Xikers [3], has teamed up with Mirae Asset Securities to manage its IPO process [4]. This strategic move, a significant step towards growth and public offering, comes on the heels of Ateez's growing international fame [5].
While Ateez is undoubtedly reaping the benefits of their agency's expansion, they themselves are not part of the IPO plans [6]. Instead, their popularity and success form the bedrock of KQ Entertainment's financial strength and growth trajectory [7]. With Ateez blazing the trail and KQ Entertainment taking business strides, the future looks bright for both these powerhouses in the K-pop industry.
