The global Hallyu festival '2026 K World Dream Awards' has unveiled a dazzling additional lineup featuring LE SSERAFIM, KIKI, and more.

The organizing committee of the '2026 K World Dream Awards' announced on the 4th that LE SSERAFIM, KIKI, XLOVE, and HighFi Unicorn have newly joined the event.

First, LE SSERAFIM, who achieved global success with the title track 'Boompara' from their second full-length album, and KIKI, who topped domestic music charts with their second mini-album 'Delulu Pack' and was also named No. 1 on Billboard's Best K-Pop Songs of the First Half of the Year, are drawing attention as performers. In addition, XLOVE, who was named on U.S. Billboard's '25 Best K-Pop Albums of 2026,' and the band HighFi Unicorn, who are actively promoting in both Korea and Japan, will also take the stage.

Along with this announcement, previously confirmed popular groups including ATEEZ, P1Harmony, RIIZE, and ILLIT will all appear, promising a diverse and spectacular stage.

Now in its 10th anniversary this year, the awards ceremony is an occasion to celebrate the realization of the era of 20 million tourists visiting Korea and the country's leap forward as a K-culture powerhouse. Going beyond a simple ranking competition, it is designed as a harmonious gathering to honor the contributions of artists, production staff, and everyone who has driven the growth of K-pop.

Meanwhile, the event will be held on August 27 at KINTEX in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do. Broadcaster Jeon Hyun-moo and comedian Jang Do-yeon will serve as MCs for the fourth consecutive year.

The final voting for the Popularity Award, which is conducted 100% through fan voting, is currently underway on the fandom platform 'FANdor1.' The awards ceremony will be broadcast live worldwide via an OTT platform to be announced at a later date.
