On the 9th, the KGMA Organizing Committee announced a total of 39 presenters for the “2026 KGMA,” which will be held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on November 7–8, including Go Yoon-jung, Lee Sun-bin, Lee Jun-ho, Lee Chae-min, Jeon Yeo-bin, Jung Kyung-ho, Cha Jun-hwan, and Han Sun-hwa.
The lineup of actors is particularly impressive. Go Yoon-jung, Won Ji-an, and Jin Ki-joo will serve as presenters, along with Lee Chae-min, Choi Hyun-wook, Na In-woo, and Chae Jong-hyeop, who have recently garnered attention in dramas and OTT productions. The reunion of actors who have previously worked together—such as Lee Sun-bin and Han Sun-hwa, Kim Ji-hoon and Lee Ju-bin, and Noh Jung-eui and Park Seo-ham—is also drawing attention.
Figure skater Cha Jun-hwan will also join as a presenter. As he has recently been expanding his activities into the world of popular culture, he is expected to showcase a different side of himself on the KGMA stage. Senior figures from the music industry—including KARA’s Park Gyu-ri, Hotfelt, Ye-won, and Arin—will also be on hand to congratulate the younger artists.
Lee Jun-ho will also take the stage as a presenter. Having juggled his careers as a singer and actor—appearing in dramas and Netflix series, and most recently performing at a 2PM solo concert—he is expected to make a strong impression at the KGMA as well.
Previously, the KGMA revealed its first lineup, which includes RISE, ATEEZ, All Day Project, CRAVITY, KIKI, TREASURE, and Hearts to Hearts, as well as a second lineup featuring Dayoung, Minho, Young K, Choi Ye-na, Lucy, and Jang Min-ho. Additional performers will be announced sequentially.
This year’s KGMA will be hosted by Lee Seon-eun and Nam Ji-hyun on November 7, and by IVE’s Reiz and Kim Jae-won on November 8. The event will be broadcast live on ENA, and details regarding domestic and international OTT streaming platforms will be announced at a later date.
