ATEEZ, TRIPLE S, KIKI and 3 more join 2026 THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS first lineup

Six acts have been confirmed for the first lineup of the 2026 THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS, set for September 19 at Busan Asiad Main Stadium. IDDIT, ATEEZ, ALLDAY PROJECT, CORTIS, KIKI, and TRIPLE S will all take the stage.

ATEEZ leads the confirmed names on momentum alone. Nine years into their career, they dropped mini album 14 GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5 on the 26th of last month — and it hit number 1 on the Billboard 200, their third time topping that chart. The album also became their seventh million seller.

TRIPLE S arrive with their own milestone in tow: Baby Flower, the title track from last month's ASSEMBLE26 LOVE & POP Part 1, gave them their first-ever number 1 on a terrestrial music broadcast. KIKI already secured a triple crown on music broadcasts earlier this year with 404 (New Era) off January's mini album 2 Delulu Pack. They have a comeback scheduled for August, so they'll be walking into Busan mid-era.

CORTIS released mini album 2 GREENGREEN in May. Title track REDRED topped domestic charts and logged 11 consecutive weeks on Spotify's Weekly Top Songs Global, with a three-week ranking rebound recorded recently. ALLDAY PROJECT, the co-ed group that debuted in June of last year, charted high at launch with FAMOUS and WICKED and followed up with ONE MORE TIME in December.

IDDIT rounds out the lineup — the boy group that hit number 1 on music broadcasts just 12 days after debuting in September of last year. They released single album title track FLY! and b-side Attent!on in May. Twelve days. Debut. One. That's the bar they set.
