"The 2nd D Awards" will be held on Feb. 11 next year.
The K-pop awards ceremony "The 2nd D Awards (D Awards)" will be held on Feb. 11, 2026, at Hwajeong Gymnasium, Korea University, Anam-dong, Seongbuk District, Seoul.
"D Awards" is an awards ceremony organized to support artists who made K-pop shine on the world stage and to further spread the "dreams (Dream)" and "joys (Delights)" that are the reasons our music won the love of people around the world.
The ceremony is largely divided into three categories: "D Awards Black Label", "D Awards Delights Blue Label" and "D Awards Dreamers Silver Label".
"D Awards Black Label" is the title corresponding to the grand prizes and will present awards divided into artist of the year·album·song·performance·record·globalist·trend, etc. "D Awards Delights Blue Label" corresponds to the main awards given to K-pop artists who had major activity during the year.
"D Awards Dreamers Silver Label" selects outstanding rookies who will lead our popular music in the future. In addition, "D Awards" will select "D Awards Iconic (ICONIC)", which meaningfully highlights and supports members that encompass the past, present and future of K-pop.
Also, special awards will be given, such as "D Awards Impact", awarded to actors·broadcasters who showed a strong presence in our popular culture, and "D Awards Discovery", which can be called the discovery of 2025 K-content, among others in the institutional sector.
One of the main award categories and awarded 100% by fan participation, "D Awards Fanpick (Fanpick)", will be held on the global fandom platform Upick. Detailed information and schedule related to official voting will be announced later.
