The Air, a boy band who made their debut last weekend in Vietnam, will perform at the Asian Television Awards (ATA) later this month.
They’ll perform their debut song, “Dung Hen Uoc” (“Don’t make promises”), at the beginning of the ATAs on November 30 and again during a live broadcast of the show the following day, according to a The Air’s communication manager.
All five The Air group members are expected to arrive in Singapore on November 29 to attend some sideline events, including a press conference with Singaporean media.
“This is a huge honor for us. Though we are a new group, we’ve still been receiving big support. We are trying our best to prepare for our appearance to an international audience,” The Air’s leader Lu An expressed.
