Major K-pop hitmakers and album powerhouses are heading to France for the upcoming D Awards 2027 in Paris, the first large-scale K-pop awards ceremony hosted in the European Union.
Organized to take place over two days on January 15 and 16, 2027, the event has officially announced its third wave of participating artists to further elevate the excitement.
The newly unveiled third lineup includes five teams demonstrating explosive global influence: TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT), Yeonjun, KickFlip, KiiiKiii, and IDID, listed in order of debut.
Global Star Power Confirmed for Paris
TOMORROW X TOGETHER previously garnered critical acclaim for their music quality with their 8th mini-album ‘7TH YEAR: When the Wind Stopped in the Thorns’ last April. They have also generated massive anticipation by confirming the release of their 9th mini-album ‘PERFECT STORM’ this November, signaling another domestic and international chart takeover.
Yeonjun, who has solidified his presence as both an older brother of his group and a powerhouse solo artist, is also slated to perform. Following his successful solo promotions in July with the second mini-album title track ‘Ice Cream’, Yeonjun is set to mesmerize local fans with his signature solo aura.
Rising Rookies and Mainstage Headliners
KickFlip, who has secured appearances at the D Awards for three consecutive years since their debut, recently dropped their 5th mini-album ‘KICK OFF THE WALL Pt. 1’. They plan to captivate European audiences with an expanded musical spectrum and dynamic energy.
The addition of breakout girl group KiiiKiii, who dominated major music charts earlier this year with their mega-hit track ‘404 (New Era)’, is also drawing significant attention. They intend to showcase their unique concepts and performances to global fans. Additionally, the ambitious 7-member rookie group IDID will step onto the European stage for the first time, delivering synchronized choreography and solid live vocals.
Previously, the D Awards announced a star-studded lineup featuring main MC and performer TWICE’s Jihyo, alongside DPR Ian, P1Harmony, Choi Ye-na, KISS OF LIFE, AMPERS&ONE, RESCENE, Alpha Drive One, Long Shot, and Andouble.
Co-hosted by Sports Donga and WSM, co-produced by WSM and Story Peak Global, and with Channel A serving as the domestic broadcaster, the 3rd ‘D Awards’ will grandly open at Plenitude Arena (formerly Paris La Défense Arena) in Paris, France, on January 15 and 16, 2027.
