Ten acts, one dome, two nights
ATEEZ, RIIZE, and TREASURE are among the ten acts confirmed for the 2026 Korea Grand Music Awards (KGMA), now in its third edition. The event runs November 7 and 8 at Seoul Gocheok Sky Dome.
The full first-wave lineup:
- ATEEZ
- RIIZE
- NINE
- ANDE
- ALLDAY PROJECT
- CRAVITY
- CLOSE YOUR EYES
- KIKI
- TREASURE
- HATSUTOHATS
ATEEZ hit number 1 on the Billboard 200. RIIZE reached million-seller status with their second mini album. CLOSE YOUR EYES crossed 1.2 million cumulative sales. TREASURE logged first-week million-seller numbers. ANDE moved 730,000 copies in the first week of their debut album—a striking entry for a new act. NINE swept the Oricon and Billboard Japan charts. CRAVITY's eighth mini album served as their latest performance proof. ALLDAY PROJECT won at the previous KGMA ceremony. KIKI made an impact on domestic music charts. HATSUTOHATS wrapped a Japan debut.
Who's hosting
Day 1 (November 7) will be hosted by LESSERAFIM's Huh Yunjin and actress Nam Ji-hyun. Day 2 (November 8) goes to IVE's Liz and actor Kim Jae-won.
Second, third, and fourth lineups will be announced sequentially. The first wave alone spans domestic streaming, Japanese physical, and US albums—so the remaining slots will be worth watching.
