The "Asia Artist Awards" (hereinafter, "AAA 2026") has revealed an additional lineup that will heat up Kaohsiung. For the two days of December 5 and 6, Park Ji-hoon, formerly of Wanna One, Bae Jong-ok, Lee Sang-yi, Lee Jong-won, and Lee Hong-nae have been confirmed to appear at "AAA 2026," which will be held at Kaohsiung National Stadium. Above all, the joining of actors who are "reliable to watch," combining acting ability and box-office power, is expected to further raise the dignity of the awards ceremony. Park Ji-hoon, who played the role of King Lee Hong-wi in the film "The Man Who Lives as a King," which was released in Korea this February and surpassed 16 million viewers, left a deep aftertaste and in one stroke joined the ranks of "10-million actors." Following that, in the TVING original series "The Legendary Kitchen Soldier," he appealed with a completely different charm as Private Kang Seong-jae, proving the limitless range of his acting and captivating global fans. Bae Jong-ok, who boasts an irreplaceable acting career, also made the lineup. Bae Jong-ok, who has emitted a weighty aura with each work, such as the Netflix series "The Woman Called Sarah Kim" and the JTBC drama "Anyone Is Fighting Against Their Worthless Self," is also scheduled to display her unique presence on the stage of "AAA 2026." Lee Sang-yi's participation, who is carrying out a wide range of activities while moving between screen, television, and variety, also raises expectations. Lee Sang-yi this year showed his one-of-a-kind ability to digest characters in diverse works such as Netflix's "Bloodhounds 2," the TVING original series "The Legendary Kitchen Soldier," MBC's "Married Woman Killer," tvN's "Bogum Magical," and ENA's "Change Street," and was loved by viewers. Lee Jong-won, who showed from the tense acting through the film "Salmok Pond" and tvN's "KILL IT: Style Creator Great War" to a multifaceted side as a mentor, will further richly color the lineup of "AAA 2026" with his own color. Lee Hong-nae, who played the role of Sergeant Yoon Dong-hyeon in the TVING original series "The Legendary Kitchen Soldier" and worked as a scene-stealing supporting actor, and then succeeded in a strong acting transformation as Park Su-mudan in Netflix's "Tonggun - The Cursed Palace," has also joined, heightening the excitement of the awards ceremony. This "AAA 2026" will be hosted by "AAA Queen" IVE's Wonyoung, who has held the microphone for six consecutive years, along with actor Ji Chang-wook and ZEROBASEONE's Sung Han-bin, who returns as host after two years. Prior to this, in the acting category, appearances have been confirmed for Go Youn-jung, Kim Seon-ho, Kim You-jung, Kim Jae-won, Kim Hye-yoon, TWICE's Dahyun, Moon Sang-min, Byun Woo-seok, Ahn Hyo-seop, Yoon Kyung-ho, Lee Da-hee, Jang Da-a, Chu Young-woo, Heo Nam-jun, and Girl's Day's Hyeri. In the singer category, MONSTA X, ATEEZ, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, ITZY, ZEROBASEONE, RIIZE, TWS, MEOVV, and other main figures leading the global K-pop scene are all set to appear, and are scheduled to brighten Kaohsiung.
