The singer received the award Friday after two performances at the festival held in Hong Kong. Orange was the first Vietnamese singer to compete for the Asian Supernova Award with eight contestants from different countries.

Artists from other Asian countries attending the event included boy group NCT 127 (South Korea), musician GACKT (Japan), Dean Ting (China) and Hins Cheung (Hong Kong).
