RIIZE, ZEROBASEONE, TXT, YEONJUN, ALPHA DRIVE ONE Join "AAA 2026" Artist Lineup

RIIZE, ALPHA DRIVE ONE, YEONJUN, ZEROBASEONE, and TOMORROW X TOGETHER (in Korean alphabetical order) will light up the stage at the "Asia Artist Awards." "AAA 2026," Held in Kaohsiung in December These five acts have been named as artist-category participants for "AAA 2026," to be held over two days from December 5 to 6 at Kaohsiung National Stadium in Taiwan. Notably, YEONJUN is listed under two names—as a solo artist and as a member of TOMORROW X TOGETHER—while ZEROBASEONE member Sung Han-bin will take part as both a host and a performer. Each Act's Recent Activities RIIZE (Shotaro, Eunseok, Sungchan, Wonbin, Sohee, Anton) has carried its strength across both records and concerts since debut. With its first world tour "RIIZING LOUD," launched last year, it drew 420,000 attendees across 21 regions worldwide, and in June it achieved its fourth million-seller with its second mini album "II." Its third-anniversary fan meeting "Ch. RIIZE : ON AIR," to be held September 12–13, sold out every seat the moment ticket sales opened. ALPHA DRIVE ONE became a million-seller this January with its debut album and first mini album "EUPHORIA." Just six months after debut, it wrapped its first global fan-concert tour across three regions, showing the momentum of a "leading rookie of 2026." The group has announced a comeback on the 24th with its second mini album "UNBREAKABLE : 少年BEAST." YEONJUN recently made his comeback with "Ice Cream," the title track of his second mini album "NO LABELS: PART 02." The album sold more than 730,000 copies in its first week, recording the highest first-week sales of any Korean solo artist's album released this year. ZEROBASEONE (Sung Han-bin, Kim Ji-woong, Matthew Seok, Kim Tae-rae, Park Gunwook) proved its global popularity with its sixth mini album "Ascend-," released this May, sweeping the No. 1 spot on Japan's Oricon weekly international album ranking, Japan's Spotify rising chart, and China's QQ Music digital album (mini album) chart, among others. TOMORROW X TOGETHER (Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, Huening Kai) has cemented its standing as a leading K-pop act, achieving results on domestic and overseas charts with polished music and performances on every album. Marking its seventh debut anniversary, it has been meeting fans through a range of activities, including an exhibition encompassing its seven-year musical journey. MCs and the Existing Lineup "AAA 2026" will be hosted by Ji Chang-wook, Jang Won-young (IVE), and Sung Han-bin, with one more MC to be revealed soon. In the acting category, Kim Seon-ho and Go Youn-jung have confirmed their attendance, and in the artist category, LNGSHOT, RESCENE, &TEAM, ATEEZ, ITZY, KiiiKiii, and Hearts2Hearts were named earlier. Participants set to light up "AAA 2026" will continue to be announced. "AAA 2026" is hosted by Star News and organized by the AAA Organizing Committee, MOTIVE, and D-SOW.

LNGSHOT, &TEAM, and ATEEZ Confirmed for AAA 2026 — Taking the Stage in Kaohsiung This December

Three acts — LNGSHOT, &TEAM, and ATEEZ (in Korean alphabetical order) — have confirmed their attendance at the K-pop awards show Asia Artist Awards (AAA 2026). As the lineup for this year-end mega-festival is revealed piece by piece, fan anticipation keeps building. What Is AAA 2026? AAA 2026 takes place over two days, December 5–6, at Kaohsiung National Stadium in Taiwan. It's the very venue where last year's "10th Anniversary AAA 2025" was held before a crowd of 55,000. This year, too, the same stadium will host a large-scale festival to close out the year. The show is presented by Star News and organized by the AAA Organizing Committee, MOTIVE, and D-SOW. The Three Confirmed Acts LNGSHOT — a group made up of Oyul, Ryul, Woojin, and Rui. With "YEAH! YEAH!," the title track of their joint mixtape "4SHOBOIZ Vol. 2: 4SHOVILLE" released this past May, they showcased a hip mood and distinctive performance, making their mark as a trendy rookie act. &TEAM — a nine-member global group of EJ, Fuma, K, Nicholas, Yuma, Jo, Harua, Taki, and Maki. They're currently on their Asia tour, "2026 &TEAM CONCERT TOUR 'BLAZE THE WAY.'" With their second Korean mini album "Mark on Me" set for September 8 and encore concerts at Seoul's KSPO Dome on October 3–4, they've been steadily building momentum. ATEEZ — the eight-member group of Hongjoong, Seonghwa, Yunho, Yeosang, San, Mingi, Wooyoung, and Jongho. Their 14th mini album "GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5," released this past June, surpassed 1.88 million copies within a week — their highest team record and their seventh million-seller overall. With title track "BAD" generating buzz on social media, expectations are high for their stage. The MC Lineup Draws Attention Too The hosting for AAA 2026 is also turning heads. IVE member Jang Won-young and actor Ji Chang-wook were previously confirmed as MCs. Jang Won-young takes on AAA hosting duties for a sixth consecutive year, while for Ji Chang-wook it's his first-ever awards-show MC role since debut. On top of that, at the pre-show festa "ACON 2026" held in Taipei on July 25, Sung Han-bin (ZEROBASEONE) announced he was joining the MC lineup, drawing plenty of attention. With three hosts known for steady stage presence and quick wit, curiosity is growing over how they'll play off one another. More Lineup to Come The roster of singers and actors set to grace AAA 2026 will continue to be revealed in stages. Fans around the world are watching to see what stages will fill this year-end festival in Kaohsiung.
