BLACKPINK JUMP was named Song of the Year at ASEA 2026, giving BLACKPINK one of the grand prize honors announced during the awards ceremony’s first day. The Asia Star Entertainer Awards 2026 Day 1 event took place on May 16, 2026, at Belluna Dome in Saitama, Japan, with multiple published winner lists identifying BLACKPINK’s “JUMP” as the Song of the Year recipient. 1
The result places “JUMP” among the headline winners from the third edition of ASEA, a two-day awards show scheduled for May 16 and 17, 2026. The official ASEA site lists Song of the Year as a major award category and describes its judging basis as 50% music and album performance and 50% judges’ evaluation. 2
BLACKPINK JUMP Takes Song of the Year

Newsen’s May 17 report listed “SONG OF THE YEAR : BLACKPINK ‘JUMP’” in the ceremony’s winners, confirming the award as one of the daesang-level honors announced at the event. 1 Soompi also reported BLACKPINK’s “JUMP” as the Song of the Year winner in its Day 1 winners list for the Asia Star Entertainer Awards 2026. 3
Other published accounts carried the same result. allkpop identified BLACKPINK’s “Jump” as the winner of Song of the Year, describing it as one of the ceremony’s major awards. 4 Kstyle’s Japanese-language report likewise listed “SONG OF THE YEAR: BLACKPINK ‘JUMP’” among the award results from the May 16 event at Belluna Dome. 5
The repeated listing across Korean, English-language K-pop, and Japanese entertainment outlets gives the award result a consistent factual record: BLACKPINK won Song of the Year at ASEA 2026 Day 1 for “JUMP.” The sources do not provide a speech, performance details, or attendance information for BLACKPINK in connection with this specific award, so the confirmed focus remains the winning song, award category, ceremony date, and venue.
How ASEA Frames the Category
ASEA’s official website describes Song of the Year as one of its main award categories. For that category, the posted criteria are split evenly between music and album data at 50% and judges’ evaluation at 50%. 2 The same official page states that candidate works are based on music and albums released from March 1, 2025, to April 30, 2026, establishing the eligibility window for the 2026 awards. 2
The official schedule also places ASEA 2026 across two dates, May 16 and 17, 2026. 2 The BLACKPINK result came from the first day’s winner announcements, as reported by multiple outlets covering the Day 1 awards list. 3
The ceremony’s broader Day 1 results included other major winners. Soompi reported that ENHYPEN earned three awards, including Artist of the Year and Album of the Year. 3 Newsen also reported grand prize honors for ENHYPEN, &TEAM, and BLACKPINK in its coverage of the event. 1 Those results place BLACKPINK’s Song of the Year award within a wider slate of ASEA 2026 top-category announcements rather than as a standalone ceremony item.
A Song With Prior U.S. Certification Coverage
“JUMP” had already been the subject of earlier performance reporting before the ASEA 2026 result. Newsis reported on January 16, 2026, citing the Recording Industry Association of America, that BLACKPINK’s “JUMP” received Gold certification in the United States after reaching at least 500,000 units. The certification date was reported as December 11, 2025. 6
The same Newsis report said “JUMP” reached that 500,000-unit threshold without a physical album release, based on streaming figures. It also reported that the track had surpassed 470 million Spotify streams and spent 10 weeks on Billboard’s Hot 100. 6 Those figures are separate from the ASEA judging record, but they provide source-backed context for the song’s commercial profile before its Song of the Year recognition.

The confirmed outcome is straightforward: BLACKPINK’s “JUMP” won Song of the Year at ASEA 2026 Day 1, held May 16, 2026, at Belluna Dome in Saitama, Japan. With the official ASEA category criteria identifying Song of the Year as a main award and multiple winner lists matching on the result, BLACKPINK JUMP now stands as one of the major award-winning songs from the 2026 ceremony.
