The Golden Disc Awards is kicking off its 40th anniversary with a powerhouse roster of K-pop artists set to take the stage in Taipei Dome on January 10. Organizers revealed the first wave of performers today, confirming appearances from LE SSERAFIM, IVE, NCT WISH, ENHYPEN, ALL DAY PROJECT, IZNA, ZEROBASEONE, ZO ZAZZ, and CORTIS.
LE SSERAFIM returns for the fourth consecutive year, continuing their strong momentum after a standout 2025 filled with charting hits and major arena shows. IVE, another act with an unbroken attendance streak, is preparing a special stage exclusively for this year’s ceremony as they celebrate their streak of million-selling releases.
NCT WISH joins the lineup following a breakout year marked by record sales and sold-out shows across Asia, while ENHYPEN brings their global energy back to the Golden Disc stage after a massive world tour and a landmark appearance at Coachella.
Rising hybrid-group ALL DAY PROJECT makes its debut at the event after rapidly climbing charts with its viral debut track, while rookie act IZNA returns as a nominee following a year of rapid international growth. ZEROBASEONE is set to deliver another signature performance as they continue their streak of million-selling albums.
Solo sensation ZO ZAZZ, who shook the digital charts with a breakout hit this year, will appear at the awards for the first time. Also joining the show is CORTIS, the highly anticipated rookie team from BIGHIT MUSIC, already nearing their first million-seller milestone.
With both seasoned stars and fast-rising newcomers sharing the bill, the 40th Golden Disc Awards is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated K-pop celebrations of the year.
