HEADLINE 12 Points Asia Launches Fan Hub After Historic First Eurovision Asia Contest SUMMARY Independent publication combines country tracking, continuous music and fan tools as attention turns to a potential larger second edition. BODY 12 Points Asia has launched an independent fan publication following the historic first Eurovision Song Contest Asia, giving fans a place to follow their countries, discover the artists and stay with the story between editions. The inaugural final took place at One Bangkok Forum in Bangkok on 14 November 2026. CARMELLE won for the Philippines with “Sobra-Sobra”, scoring 211 points and finishing first with both juries and the public. According to the European Broadcasting Union, votes came from 183 countries and territories. The debut brought together eleven countries: Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, the Philippines, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam. Attention is already turning to what could come next. Eurovoix reports interest from 16–17 countries and territories in a second edition, with China, Hong Kong, Japan, Kazakhstan and Taiwan among those reported to have held discussions about future participation. They were not in the inaugural line-up; their inclusion in a future contest is not confirmed. The publication’s dated 2027 tracker separates confirmed announcements from reported interest, helping readers follow developments around possible debuts, returning participants, the next host and event dates without treating speculation as an entry list. Alongside news, artist features, results and beginner guides, the website offers: - Country hubs for all eleven inaugural participants, with follow preferences and personalised reading feeds. - Official YouTube videos with continuous playlist playback and a minimisable player that stays available during internal browsing. - Saved articles, personal song rankings, shareable ranking links and downloadable ranking images. - Calendar downloads with reminders for verified dates, clearly distinguishing European Eurovision events from Eurovision Asia. - Article sharing through copy links, device sharing tools, WhatsApp and email links. Country follows, saved articles and rankings work without an account and are remembered on the reader’s browser. Email subscriptions are not enabled. The publication also follows CARMELLE’s road towards a reported guest appearance at Eurovision 2027 in Burgas, Bulgaria. NME reports that she will perform as a guest rather than compete; the specific show and performance time have not been verified by 12 Points Asia. Its wider editorial focus includes the artists’ stories after the final and the places connected with the contest, including a Bangkok travel guide.
