U-KISS will receive a special achievement award in recognition for their contribution to the Hallyu Wave.

On the 19th, the boy group will attend Arirang TV's celebration event for their milestone of reaching over 100 Million clients. At the event, U-KISS will be awarded the 'Special Hallyu Achievement Award' from the minister of the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism.

Earlier this month U-KISS performed at the Tokyo Budokan in front of an estimated 10,000 fans, and like so have been continuously promoting their music.

A representative of U-KISS stated, "We're very happy that we received this award which acknowledges us as an idol group that did our part in promoting Korean music. [U-KISS] will work harder not only in Korea, but overseas as well."

Meanwhile, U-KISS will release their new album 'Stop Girl' on the 20th and plans to actively promote in 10 countries including Thailand, Philippines, The United States, and China.
