Confirmed details about Kim Soo-hyun’s official activities in 2026 have been released one after another. Kim Soo-hyun will attend TMA 2026 in Busan in September as a presenter and is listed as an attendee in the acting category at AAA 2026, held in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, in December.
Key Developments
The TMA organizing committee said that Kim Soo-hyun will attend TMA 2026 as a presenter at Busan Asiad Main Stadium on September 19, 2026. The AAA organizing committee subsequently announced Kim Soo-hyun’s attendance in the acting category at AAA 2026.
According to the official AAA website, the event will be held in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, on December 5–6, 2026.
The confirmed development is the announcement of his attendance at two official events itself, rather than an assessment that he has “resumed activities.”
Current Status
Regarding the investigation involving Kim Soo-hyun, reports said Seongdong Police Station in Seoul decided not to forward the case involving allegations of violating the Child Welfare Act and making a false accusation, citing insufficient evidence. However, a decision not to forward a case is the result of a police investigative procedure and does not constitute a court acquittal or mean that all social issues have been resolved.
Regarding his next project, “Knock-Off” has been reported as a completed production, but as of September 1, 2026, its release schedule has not been finalized.
Impact
The announcements provide specific details about Kim Soo-hyun’s upcoming public activities. The currently confirmed schedule is as follows.
| Event | Form of participation | Date and location |
|---|---|---|
| TMA 2026 | Presenter | September 19, 2026, Busan Asiad Main Stadium |
| AAA 2026 | Attendee in the acting category | December 5–6, 2026, Kaohsiung, Taiwan |
The two award-show appearances and the police decision not to forward the case are separate pieces of information reflecting an event plan and the outcome of an investigative procedure, respectively. Based on these materials alone, there is no confirmed basis for interpreting them as confirmation of a next-project contract or the resolution of every controversy.
Next Checkpoints
The nearest official schedule is TMA 2026 on September 19. After that, attendance and on-site details for AAA 2026 on December 5–6 will be subject to confirmation. Until a separate official announcement is made, the release date for “Knock-Off” should not be treated as finalized.
