Yoo Young-woo and Lee Seon-min served as presenters for the Best Artist category on the first day of the “2026 Korea Grand Music Awards” (2026 KGMA), “Artist Day,” held on the 7th at Gocheok Sky Dome in Guro-gu, Seoul.
Yoo Young-woo, who displayed great chemistry with Lee Seon-min, said, “I’m going to show off my singing skills a bit,” and then sang Lisenne’s new song “With” on the spot. The audience erupted in cheers at his unexpected vocal talent, and the award presentation stage turned into a surprise performance.
There was a special connection behind the song choice. Lee Seon-min and Yoo Young-woo gained popularity by appearing alongside Lisenne in the K-Car YouTube series “My Training Uncle.” The two displayed a warm, friendly chemistry as Lisenne’s “uncles,” and the series’ popularity helped bring renewed attention to Lisenne’s 2024 single “Love Attack.”
With Lisenne’s Won-i serving as the host of the awards ceremony that day, Lee Seon-min and Yoo Young-woo also joined as presenters, continuing their connection. It was a moment when the chemistry they built on YouTube carried over to the awards stage at Gocheok Sky Dome.
