NEXZ, Park Ji-hoon, Super Junior-D&E join AAA 2026 lineup

Five K-pop and music acts have been confirmed for the Asia Artist Awards 2026, taking place on 5–6 December at Kaohsiung National Stadium in Taiwan.

NEXZ, Park Ji-hoon, Super Junior-D&E, AllDay Project, and Yena will perform and attend the ceremony. NEXZ achieved their highest debut sales with their April single 'Mmchk' and scored their first music show win with the track. The group is set to make a comeback on 24 August with their fourth mini-album 'Saucin'. Park Ji-hoon released his debut solo single 'RE:FLECT' in April and held a sold-out fan concert in May, with an encore Seoul concert scheduled for September. Super Junior-D&E, the veteran duo of Donghae and Eunhyuk, continues to build on their catalogue of five mini-albums. AllDay Project (Annie, Tarzan, Bailey, Woochan, Youngseo) debuted last year with dual title tracks 'Famous' and 'Wicked'. Yena, who released her fifth mini-album 'Love Catcher' in March, scored chart performance on both domestic and global streaming platforms with the title track 'Catch Catch'.

The awards show will be hosted by Jang Wonyoung (returning for her sixth consecutive year as 'AAA Queen'), actor Ji Chang-wook, and Sung Han-bin, with one additional MC to be announced. The musician lineup also includes Riize, Monsta X, Ateez, Tomorrow X Together, Zerobaseone, and others. Actor confirmations include Koh Yoon-jung, Kim Seon-ho, and Byeon Woo-seok. Organized by StarNews and chaired by Park Jun-chul, the AAA 2026 artist roster continues to expand.
