From global groups that set K-pop ablaze in 2026 to powerful solo artists and newcomers who took the music industry by storm, they are all heading to Paris, France, for the “D AWARDS”.
“D AWARDS 2027 in PARIS”, which will be held over two days on January 15 and 16, 2027, at the Plenitude Arena (formerly Paris La Défense Arena) in Paris, France, announced the addition of WAYV, EVAN, and A2O LITE (in order of debut) as the 4th performer lineup.
Since their debut in 2019, WAYV has consolidated a solid position in the global music market by highlighting refined music and unique performances. By releasing their 8th mini-album “VISION WINGS” last August, the group proved once again their expanded musical spectrum and their capabilities as a trending group.
The addition of solo artist EVAN also raises expectations. EVAN, who made his solo debut last June with the intense single “Ride or die”, released his 1st mini-album “DEATH OF ME” in September, directly participating in lyric writing, composition, and visual direction, clearly revealing his original musical color.
The “super rookie” A2O LITE, who captured all eyes in the music industry during the second half of this year, will also fill the stage of the “D AWARDS”. After achieving remarkable results on major domestic and international music charts and music shows with their debut song “Neon” released this month, they left a strong mark on global K-pop fans by leading a social media challenge craze.
Previously, “D AWARDS” created a sensation by successively unveiling a lavish lineup in three rounds. Starting with JIHYO of TWICE, who will serve as the main host (MC) as well as a performer, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, YEONJUN, DPR IAN, P1HARMONY, YENA, KISS OF LIFE, AMPERS&ONE, RESCENE, KICKFLIP, KIIIKIII, IDID, ALPHA DRIVE ONE, LNGSHOT, and AND2BLE have already confirmed their participation.
As the first K-pop awards ceremony held in Europe and celebrating its 3rd edition this year, “D AWARDS” is co-hosted by Sports DongA and WSM, co-managed by WSM and Story Peak Global, and the host broadcasting channel in Korea is Channel A.
