“KOREA GRAND MUSIC AWARDS” (hereinafter “KGMA”) will present a “Star Road” rather than a red carpet. According to the KGMA organizing committee today (the 30th), at the “2026 KGMA,” the “KGMA Star Road (KGMA STAR ROAD),” which replaces the conventional red carpet, will be unveiled for the first time. It is an expansion into one piece of content of the process from the moment artists enter the awards venue to the process of interacting with fans. Through the Star Road, the artists are expected not only to have an official photo time, but also to match closer with fans. It is seen that not only the stage itself, but also the process of heading to the stage can be enjoyed as content. This year’s Star Road will feature SHINee’s Minho, MONSTA X’s Shownu & Hyungwon, DAY6’s Young K, ATEEZ, Choi Ye-na from IZ*ONE, ITZY, TREASURE, P1Harmony, tripleS, RIIZE, RESCENE, MEOVV, KickFlip, Hearts2Hearts, KiiiKiii, ALLDAY PROJECT, ALPHA DRIVE ONE, AND2BLE, Jang Min-ho, and Park Ji-hyun. A KGMA official said, “Star Road contains the meaning that the KGMA awards ceremony has already begun from the very moment artists and fans meet,” and added, “It is a clear reason why global K-pop fans must come to the KGMA site every year, and we will develop it into signature content representing KGMA.” “2026 KGMA” will be held on November 7 and 8 at Gocheok Sky Dome in Guro District, Seoul.
