Stray Kids said, “It’s an honor just to be invited to the 2019 Asia Model Awards, but we’re doubly grateful for the award. We thank our family at JYP Entertainment and producer Park Jin Young. We’re happy to be able to receive a New Star Award thanks to our fans, and we’re sincerely grateful to those who cheer us on from near or far away. Please look forward to our comeback the week after next.”

The Popular Star Award in the actors category went to Han Seung Yeon and INFINITE’s L, while the Popular Star Award in the singers category went to Lovelyz and PENTAGON.

Han Seung Yeon said, “The title ‘actor’ still feels heavy on my shoulders, but I’m grateful to have received an award as an actress. I will take this as a sign of hope that if I work hard, I can become a better actor moving forward.” She also thanked two people who have watched over her entertainment industry career since she was 19, as well as her family.

The Asia Star Award in the singers category went to Park Ji Hoon, who thanked his Maroo Entertainment family and said, “I think that I could receive this award because of them. I will become a hardworking person that my fans can love. Also, I will say something that Lai Kuanlin couldn’t say earlier. I want to say that I miss the Wanna One members a lot.”
