Daniel Padilla has bagged the Outstanding Asian Star award at the 2025 Seoul Drama Awards for his performance as Andres Malvar, aka Wolf, in the action-drama series “Incognito.”
Padilla’s win was announced on ASAP’s official Instagram page on Friday, July 25, as they congratulated the actor for his victory.
“Big congratulations to Daniel Padilla for earning global recognition as the Philippines’ Outstanding Asian Star at the 2025 Seoul International Drama Awards for his performance in Incognito! Your talent continues to shine on the world stage — we’re proud of you, DJ!” read the caption.
This marked Padilla’s first win and second nomination. The actor was first nominated in 2023 for his role in the romantic comedy “2 Good 2 Be True,” where he starred alongside his former girlfriend, Kathryn Bernardo, who was also nominated in the same category.
“Incognito” recently wrapped up its first season after six months on air, and the finale hinted at a potential season two.

Aside from Padilla, “Incognito” also stars Richard Gutierrez, Ian Veneracion, Baron Geisler, Kaila Estrada, Maris Racal and Anthony Jennings.
The Outstanding Asian Star is determined through fan voting. In 2024, Kim Chiu also won the honor for her role as Juliana Lualhati in the drama series “Linlang.”
Meanwhile, Padilla’s youngest sister, Carmella Ford, has signed a contract with Star Magic to pursue an acting career.
Their mother, Karla Estrada, was present during the contract signing on Friday at ABS-CBN.
This year’s Seoul International Awards ceremony will be held on Oct. 2 at KBS Hall in Yeouido, Seoul, South Korea. /ra
