RIIZE, ILLIT, NMIXX, TREASURE, and Lim Young Woong join '2026 The Fact Music Awards' lineup

Fans are buzzing with excitement as the 2026 The Fact Music Awards (TMA) revealed its third lineup on July 28, finalizing a star-studded roster for the September 19 event at Busan Asiad Main Stadium. The announcement confirmed that RIIZE, ILLIT, NMIXX, Lim Young Woong, and TREASURE will grace the stage, adding fresh energy and prestige to the K-pop celebration.

RIIZE returns to TMA after debuting on its stage previously. Their second mini-album 'II' became their fourth million-seller, and their title track "Do your dance" dominated music charts both in South Korea and internationally. This continued success highlights their growing global popularity and cements their place as one of K-pop’s hottest acts.

Making their TMA debut, ILLIT has been making waves with their fourth mini-album 'MAMIHLAPINATAPAI.' The title song "It's Me" topped domestic digital charts and music shows, while the album climbed to a new peak on the US Billboard 200.

NMIXX returns to the TMA stage following their performance last year. They have sustained momentum through the success of their first full album and fifth mini-album 'Heavy Serenade.' Their music videos have continued to draw a global audience.

Lim Young Woong marks his return to TMA after a three-year break. His second full album 'IM HERO 2' swept music charts, and he surpassed 1.4 billion cumulative streams on Melon. His upcoming stadium concert in September has sold out all dates.

Completing the lineup, TREASURE continues to impress with their fourth mini-album 'NEW WAV.' They achieved a second consecutive million-seller for their initial sales and their title track "IF I" topped major Japanese digital charts, showcasing their expanding influence in Asia and beyond.

With this dynamic lineup, the 2026 The Fact Music Awards promises a vibrant showcase of K-pop’s diverse talents and generations. Fans can look forward to an unforgettable celebration of music and culture at the Busan Asiad Main Stadium this September.
