Global groups, powerful solo artists, and rookie sensations that rocked the K-pop scene in 2026 are heading to Paris, France, for the upcoming D Awards 2027.
The ‘D Awards 2027 in Paris’, scheduled to take place for two days on January 15 and 16, 2027, at the Plenitude Arena (formerly La Defense Arena) in Paris, France, announced the addition of WayV, EVAN, and A2O LITE (in order of debut) to its 4th performer lineup.
WayV and Solo Artist EVAN Join the Paris Lineup
Since its debut in 2019, WayV has built a solid position in the global music market with sophisticated music and unparalleled performances. Last August, the group released its 8th mini-album ‘Vision Wings’, once again proving its expanded musical spectrum and team capabilities as a mainstream powerhouse.
The addition of solo artist EVAN is also generating high expectations. Having made his solo debut with the intense single ‘Ride or Die’ last June, EVAN released his 1st mini-album ‘DEATH OF ME’ in September, directly participating in songwriting, composition, and visual directing to clearly showcase his unique musical identity.
Super Rookie A2O LITE Completes the Fourth Performer Reveal
Super rookie A2O LITE, who captured the attention of the music industry in the second half of this year, will also grace the ‘D Awards’ stage. Following notable achievements on domestic and international major music charts and music broadcasts with their debut song ‘NEON’ released this month, they have also driven social media challenge crazes, making a clear impression on global K-pop fans.
Previously, the ‘D Awards’ generated immense buzz by sequentially unveiling a spectacular lineup across three previous announcements. Headlining the event as the main host (MC) and performer is TWICE’s Jihyo, alongside TOMORROW X TOGETHER, YEONJUN, DPR IAN, P1Harmony, YENA, KISS OF LIFE, AMPERS&ONE, RESCENE, KickFlip, KiiiKiii, IDID, ALPHA DRIVE ONE, LNGSHOT, and AND2BLE.
Celebrating its 3rd edition as the first-ever K-pop awards ceremony held in Europe, the ‘D Awards’ is co-hosted by Sports Donga and WSM, co-organized by WSM and Story Peak Global, and broadcast domestically by Channel A.
