    22nd Annual Asian American Awards Gala (Unforgettable Gala) To Feature 98 DEGREES, WONHO, And THE JETS

    Published on

    The Annual Asian American Awards Gala is also known as the Unforgettable Gala (aka. UNFO) for many reasons. The entire point of the gala is to honor the Asian/Pacific Islander (API) community’s “biggest and brightest talents in entertainment, arts and culture”. Thus, you can expect to see many Asian celebrities at this gala. Celebrities who will definitely be part of the 22nd such gala since its founding in 2002 by Asian-centered media company Character Media, formerly Audrey Magazine, KoreAm Journal, and Kore Asian Media.

    22nd Annual Asian American Awards: Details

    GoldenTV and Character Media are proud to announce an all-star lineup of performers who will attend the 22nd Annual Unforgettable Gala. As of this writing, the headliners for this year’s gala will include K-Pop solo artist WONHO, formerly of MONSTA X and marking his first U.S. visit; 80s legends THE JETS, the first Asian American/Pacific Islander group to hit Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100; and 98 DEGREES, the iconic 90s boy band. That won’t be the end of the celebrities though. More are simply waiting for the gala to actually announce their presence.

    It’s not just the performers who are celebrities though. It’s also the judges of the 22nd Annual Unforgettable Gala.

    This year’s Unforgettable Gala is more than a celebration of our biggest names today; it’s a recognition of the longtime allies and icons who have given so much to our community. In true Unforgettable fashion, we have even more surprises and exciting moments to share.
