Key Change
On September 1, 2026, Kim Soo-hyun, Michieda Shunsuke, Park Ji-hwan, Eum Moon-seok, and Heo Sung-tae were newly announced as confirmed attendees in the actor category of AAA 2026. This announcement concerns confirmed attendance at the awards ceremony and does not mean that their award results or stage appearances have also been confirmed.
Before this additional announcement, Go Youn-jung, Kim Seon-ho, Kim Yoo-jung, Kim Jae-won, Kim Hye-yoon, Dahyun, Moon Sang-min, Park Ji-hoon, Bae Jong-ok, Byeon Woo-seok, Ahn Hyo-seop, Yoon Kyung-ho, Lee Da-hee, Lee Sang-yi, Lee Jong-won, Lee Hong-nae, Jang Da-a, Choo Young-woo, Heo Nam-jun, and Hyeri had been reported as confirmed attendees in the actor category.
The key point of this announcement is that five actors have newly joined the existing lineup.
Current Status
AAA 2026 is scheduled to take place over two days, December 5 and 6, 2026, at Kaohsiung National Stadium in Taiwan. The currently confirmed MCs are Jang Won-young, Ji Chang-wook, and Sung Han-bin, while one additional MC is scheduled to be revealed on September 8.
The hosting lineup confirmed so far is as follows.
- Jang Won-young
- Ji Chang-wook
- Sung Han-bin
Impact
The announcement of additional actors has expanded the actor-category lineup for AAA 2026. However, confirmed attendance does not indicate award results, stage appearances, appearance order, or performance duration, so separate announcements should be checked for those details.
Next Checkpoint
The next information to monitor is the additional MC announcement scheduled for September 8. As the event has not yet taken place, the attendee and MC lineups may change based on subsequent official announcements.
