Group Andable has won seven trophies at domestic and international awards ceremonies in about four months since its debut. They showed their presence as a rookie group by winning successive awards at the ‘2026 Brand of the Year Awards’ and the ‘8th Newsis Korean Wave Expo’. Andable (Jang Hao, Yoo Seung-eon, Ricky, Kim Kyu-bin, Han Yu-jin) won the ‘Male Idol (Rookie) Who Shined This Year’ category at the ‘2026 Brand of the Year Awards’ held at the Shilla Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul on the 1st. The ‘Brand of the Year Awards’ is a brand awards ceremony hosted by the Korea Consumer Brand Committee and organized by the Korea Consumer Forum, and selects the brands and people who shone the year through consumer voting. Endable said, “If this year was the year that announced the beginning of Endable, I hope that next year will be the year in which Endable’s color becomes a little more clear,” and added, “Thanks to those who watched and supported our beginning, I think we were able to greet special moments.” He then said to the fandom Nclaw, "I am truly grateful and love you for your generous love. I will repay you with better stages and music in the future." Previously, Endable won three awards, including the Seoul City Council Chairman Award, the Global Netizen Award in the Next Icon category, and the OST category at the ‘8th Newsis Korean Wave Expo’ held at The Grand Lotte in Jung-gu, Seoul on the 28th of last month. Among these, the Seoul City Council Chairman's Award is given to a group that has contributed to the spread of the Korean Wave and increased awareness of Seoul. The winner of the Global Netizen Award was decided through fan voting. Member Jang Hao received the Global Netizen Award for two consecutive years for OST ‘I Wanna Know’ from TVING’s original ‘Transit Love 3’ and ‘Refresh!’ from MBC’s ‘Let’s Go to the Moon’ OST. Hao Jang said, “Thank you to everyone who loved the OST and to Ann Clos who voted.” Andable previously won the most anticipated global group at the Greater China awards ceremony ‘2026 TIMA’, and received the K World Dream Artist Award and the K World Dream Super Rookie Award at the ‘2026 K-WORLD DREAM AWARDS’. In addition to this award, they have recorded a total of 7 wins in about 4 months since their debut. Andable, who debuted with their first mini album ‘Sequence 01: Curious City’ last May, recorded initial sales of 730,000 copies with that album. Recently, they continued their activities by holding the show-con ‘2026 AND2BLE SHOW CONCERT: Welcome to Qurious’ in four cities in Asia.
