The second lineup for the 2026 D Awards has been announced.
On the 18th, the D Awards revealed the second lineup for this year, confirming the participation of four acts in order of debut: BOYNEXTDOOR, 82MAJOR, QWER, and izna.
BOYNEXTDOOR made a significant leap forward with their energetic activities this year. Their song “If I Say, I Love You” was selected for Amazon Music’s “Best of 2025” and ranked 7th on Korea Apple Music’s annual Top 100. All three of their mini-albums achieved million-selling status, and they successfully concluded their first solo tour covering 13 cities, establishing themselves as a powerhouse in live performances.
82MAJOR showed steady growth, selling out each of their four solo concerts after holding their first solo concert just three months after debut. They made a strong impression in the global market following successful tours in North America, Taiwan, and Malaysia, and achieved a career high with their fourth mini-album “Trophy,” released in October.
QWER, showing remarkable growth, was invited again following the first awards. With their distinctive lively and refreshing band performances, they dominated not only festivals but also university events this year. They have expanded their activities overseas, holding concerts in 16 cities worldwide, cementing their status as the “global favorite girl band.”
izna, born from the global viewers’ choice on Mnet’s I-LAND2 : N/α, is broadening their musical spectrum through diverse genres and limitless conceptual transformations. Even before completing a full year since debut, they surpassed 100 million cumulative streams on Spotify, proving their dazzling growth and firmly establishing themselves as a “global super rookie.”
