The fourth lineup and broadcast schedule for the '2026 D Awards with upick' have been officially announced.
On January 20, the organizing committee revealed FIFTY FIFTY and Hi-Fi Un!corn as the latest artists to join the awards show. Following last year, the ceremony will once again be broadcast on Channel A, with a live stream available via Channel A Plus.
Marking their second consecutive appearance at the 'D Awards,' FIFTY FIFTY solidified their presence as a leading fifth-generation girl group last year with the back-to-back success of “Pookie” and “Rock-Paper-Scissors.” In particular, the viral popularity of “Pookie’s” signature “fishing dance” earned the group the nickname “challenge queens.”
Hi-Fi Un!corn, a Korea-Japan joint band formed through the TV audition program 'THE IDOL BAND: BOY'S BATTLE,' will be making their first appearance at the 'D Awards.' After their October comeback with “Teenage Blue,” the band has been actively promoting across Korea and Japan, expanding their identity as a rising “youth band.”
The artist lineup for this year’s 'D Awards' includes P1Harmony, ENHYPEN, FIFTY FIFTY, Xikers, BOYNEXTDOOR, Hi-Fi Un!corn, ZEROBASEONE, 82MAJOR, QWER, NCT WISH, NEXZ, izna, KickFlip, AHOF, AxMxP, and Chuei Li Yu, totaling 16 acts in debut order.
The ceremony will be hosted by Lee Jong Won, Shin Ye Eun, and BOYNEXTDOOR leader Myung Jaehyun. The '2nd D Awards' will be live-streamed on Channel A Plus at 6:00 PM KST on February 11, followed by a delayed broadcast on Channel A at 11:40 PM KST the same day. The ceremony will also be broadcast live in Japan via TBS Channel 1 and OTT platform U-NEXT.
Hosted by Sports Donga and sponsored by upick as the official naming partner, the '2nd D Awards' will take place on February 11 at Korea University Hwajeong Gymnasium.
