While RIIZE, ILLIT, NMIXX, and TREASURE have each established themselves as leading K-pop groups through their distinctive identities and global achievements, opportunities to see all four acts perform on the same stage are exceptionally uncommon. Adding even more star power to the lineup is Lim Young Woong, one of Korea's most celebrated solo artists, whose concerts consistently sell out within moments of ticket sales opening.RIIZE, who made headlines as one of the defining rookie groups of the fifth generation after debuting and joining the 2023 THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS lineup in the same year, will return to the TMA stage for the first time in three years.Following widespread acclaim from music media in Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom, and beyond for their November 2025 single "Fame", RIIZE achieved their fourth million-selling album with their second mini album "II", released this June. Having continued to expand their global presence, the group is expected to deliver an even more spectacular and powerful performance that fully showcases their signature style.Captivating K-pop fans around the world with their unique charm, ILLIT will make their THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS debut this year. Since debuting in March 2024, the group has steadily grown while establishing its own distinctive musical identity, and will finally take the stage at the 2026 THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS.Following their first single album "NOT CUTE ANYMORE" released last November, ILLIT further showcased their signature musical color with the title track "It's Me" from their fourth mini album, released in April. The album debuted at No. 26 on the Billboard 200, marking another major milestone in the group's career. ILLIT is now set to demonstrate that remarkable growth on the stage of the 2026 THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS. After captivating audiences in Macau with a breathtaking performance at the 2025 THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS, NMIXX is set to light up the night in Busan at the 2026 THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS.NMIXX dominated Korea's major digital music charts with their first full-length album "Blue Valentine", released last October. While staying true to the group's unique musical identity, they also expanded their mainstream appeal, continuing their momentum with their fifth mini album "Heavy Serenade", released this May. Following last year's unforgettable stage, fans can once again look forward to NMIXX's signature harmonies and captivating performances—an experience unique to THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS.TREASURE, who have emerged stronger than ever following a period of artistic growth, have also joined the lineup for the 2026 THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS. It marks the group's return to the TMA stage for the first time since 2023.Following the release of their third mini album "LOVE PULSE" last September, TREASURE earned back-to-back first-week million-seller titles with their fourth mini album "NEW WAV", released this June. In particular, "NEW WAV" received praise for showcasing TREASURE's distinctive hip-hop style while further strengthening the group's musical identity. The group is expected to bring that signature energy and color to the stage in Busan.Korean music icon Lim Young Woong, whose popularity transcends generations, is set to make his long-awaited return to the THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS after three years, making this year's lineup even more exceptional.Lim Young Woong reaffirmed his unrivaled popularity with his second full-length album "IM HERO 2", released last August.
