Having had an auspicious start with Day 1 of 2026 KGMA at Seoul’s Gocheok Sky Dome, it is now time to discuss the 2026 Korea Grand Music Awards Day 2 winners. After Nam Ji-hyun and RESCENE’s Woni, IVE’s Liz and actor Kim Jae-won take up hosting responsibilities on Day 2 of the awards ceremony. Organised by the Korea Grand Music Awards Organising Committee, the two-day event celebrates musical accomplishments over the past year, with Day 1, known as Artist Day, already seeing several wins and major recognitions for some of the most prominent K-pop artists. The celebrations now continue with Music Day on November 8.
Some of the biggest winners at the 2026 KGMA Artist Day included Young K and RESCENE, who won a number of different awards. Young K received Best Artist, Best Solo (Male), Coogoong Most Popular Artist and the Grand Artist Daesang. In contrast, RESCENE received Best Artist, Berriz Global Fan’s Choice, Best Memory and the Grand Honour’s Choice Daesang, along with AND2BLE. For AND2BLE, this was a very important accomplishment because they won the Daesang title at the age of just 165 days since debut, making them the fastest fifth-generation boy group to have accomplished this feat. TREASURE also managed to receive the Grand Song Daesang title.
Other prominent winners of 2026 코리아 그랜드 뮤직 어워즈 include ALLDAY PROJECT, MEOVV, CLOSE YOUR EYES, tripleS, xikers, P1Harmony, LUCY, CRAVITY, DAYOUNG, and IDID, among many others.
