KMA 2026 (KM CHART AWARDS) has finally completed the final lineup of 15 groups. Yesterday (19th), the organizing committee of 'KMA 2026' released the second lineup featuring popular artists active on the world stage and powerful newcomers. The second lineup includes 8 groups: P1Harmony, Hi-Fi Un!corn, ZEROBASEONE, UNIS, Hearts2Hearts, NEWBEAT, ALPHA DRIVE ONE, and MODYSSEY. P1Harmony, who surpassed 500,000 copies in initial sales with their 9th mini-album in March this year, proving their presence after ranking 4th on the US Billboard 200 and gaining attention from overseas media. Hi-Fi Un!corn, showcasing their skills in their 4th year while traveling between Korea and Japan, and ZEROBASEONE, who recently restructured from a 9-member to a 5-member group, are also generating great interest. Especially, ZEROBASEONE will appear on the 'KMA 2026' stage alongside the release of their new song 'TOP5' and new album, increasing fan excitement. Additionally, UNIS, selected as a 'K-POP rookie' by Billboard and recently completing a successful 14-city tour in the US, adds global strength to the lineup. Hearts2Hearts, who topped the QQ Music K-POP weekly chart for 7 consecutive weeks with 'RUDE!' and recorded 3.6 billion cumulative views on short forms, and NEWBEAT, which has formed a unique fandom in the Chinese-speaking world and is rapidly emerging as a 'next-generation K-POP icon', are preparing perfect stages. Furthermore, ALPHA DRIVE ONE, a 'super rookie' who set an incredible record of 1.44 million initial sales upon debut in January and won four music program crowns, and MODYSSEY, which recorded the top 2 in initial sales among groups debuting in 2026 (surpassing 300,000 copies), are expected to elevate the excitement of the awards ceremony. With this, 'KMA 2026' has completed a total of 15 groups in the lineup, following the previously released first lineup of TOMORROW X TOGETHER, 82MAJOR, VVUP, KickFlip, ALLDAY PROJECT, CORTIS, and LNGSHOT, opening the stage for a K-POP festival.
