RIIZE, ILLIT, NMIXX, TREASURE and Lim Young Woong will perform at the 2026 The Fact Music Awards, organizers announced on July 28 for the September 19 show at Busan Asiad Main Stadium.
RIIZE returns to TMA after debuting on its stage previously. Their second mini-album II became their fourth million-seller, and the title track “Do your dance” dominated music charts both in South Korea and internationally.
ILLIT will make their TMA debut. Their fourth mini-album MAMIHLAPINATAPAI and its title song “It’s Me” topped domestic digital charts and music shows, and the album climbed to a new peak on the US Billboard 200.
NMIXX comes back to TMA after performing at last year’s event. They have kept momentum with the success of their first full album and fifth mini-album Heavy Serenade, and their music videos have continued to draw a global audience.
Lim Young Woong returns to TMA after a three-year break. His second full album IM HERO 2 swept music charts, he surpassed 1.4 billion cumulative streams on Melon, and his upcoming stadium concert in September has sold out all dates.
TREASURE completes the announced lineup. Their fourth mini-album NEW WAV became their second consecutive million-seller based on initial sales, and its title track “IF I” topped major Japanese digital charts.
With this lineup confirmed on July 28, the 2026 The Fact Music Awards is shaping up as a cross-generational K-pop showcase at Busan Asiad Main Stadium on September 19.
