"Asia Artist Awards(Asia Artist Awards)" raised global fans' expectations by additionally announcing a dazzling lineup of actors.
The organizers of "Asia Artist Awards (hereafter "AAA 2026")," to be held Dec. 5 and 6 at Kaohsiung National Stadium, announced the confirmed attendance of Kim You Jung, Moon Sang Min, Yoon Kyung-ho, Lee Da-hee and Heo Nam-jun (in Korean alphabetical order).
First, Kim You Jung achieved another great success in a radical character transformation in the TVING original Dear X, further cementing her reputation as a reliable actor. She is also drawing anticipation for a new acting turn as I Ga-kyung, the top pickpocket in Gyeongseong who infiltrates by posing as an interpreter for the Japanese general government, in tvN's 100Days Of Lies, scheduled to air in October.
Moon Sang Min is also continuing his rising trajectory. He captured living-room audiences with steady acting in KBS 2TV's To My Beloved Thief, and through the Netflix romantic film Pavane he won the best new actor award at the 46th Golden Camera Awards, firmly establishing himself as a next-generation actor who transcends genres.
The addition of scene-stealer Yoon Kyung-ho also draws attention. He showed three-dimensional character work in SBS's Manager Kim and the TVING original The Legend of Kitchen Soldier, and won the best supporting actor award at the 5th Blue Dragon Series Awards. Interest is focused on his appearance, armed not only with acting ability but also his distinctive wit shown on various variety shows.
Irreplaceable charmist Lee Da-hee also filled out the lineup. He proved global popularity as a host of the Netflix program Single's Inferno and for the Netflix film Husbands in Action, and after being confirmed as the lead in the film Gongsi: Workshop of Horror he also confirmed attendance at AAA 2026, continuing an active run of projects.
The attendance of Heo Nam-jun, who rose to stardom overnight playing Cha Se-gye in SBS's My Royal Nemesis, is also a point of interest. With an acting spectrum that moves between charisma and romance and a first fan meeting that sold out all seats, he is expected to capture global fans' hearts once again through AAA 2026.
Earlier, AAA 2026 announced appearances by solid actors such as Go Youn-jung, Kim Seon-ho, Kim Jaewon, Byeon Woo-seok, Ahn Hyo Seop and Choo Young-Woo, along with top K-pop artists including MONSTA X, RIIZE, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, ZEROBASEONE and ITZY. Joining them, 'AAA queen' Jang Won-young, who has served as MC for six consecutive years, and Ji Changwook and Sung Hanbin have been confirmed as hosts, adding to the festival's excitement.
