The Fact Music Awards 2026 winners: who took the four grand prizes
The four grand prizes went to ATEEZ (Icon of the Year), NMIXX (Sound of the Year), RIIZE (Muse of the Year) and CORTIS (Record of the Year), per the winners list carried by Soompi and Koreaboo on September 19, 2026.
The four grand prizes were awarded as separate categories, each going to a different artist.
At the 2026 The Fact Music Awards on September 19, 2026, the four grand prizes went to four different artists: ATEEZ (Icon of the Year), NMIXX (Sound of the Year), RIIZE (Muse of the Year) and CORTIS (Record of the Year) — per the full winners list carried by Soompi and Koreaboo the same day.
When a winners list drops like this, the first thing I check is whether it is cross-confirmed — here two English outlets published the same list on the day, so the four names are safe to quote.
If you are only saving one line from this post, save the four names above — that is the daesang answer.
| Icon of the Year | ATEEZ |
|---|---|
| Sound of the Year | NMIXX |
| Muse of the Year | RIIZE |
| Record of the Year | CORTIS |
Full winners list 2026: every confirmed award and winner
Beyond the four grand prizes, the confirmed winners cover Artist of the Year, Best Music by season, rookie and popularity categories.
The Artist of the Year list had eleven names: ATEEZ, TREASURE, NMIXX, KiiiKiii, Choi Ye-na, RESCENE, CORTIS, ALLDAY PROJECT, ILLIT, ALPHA DRIVE ONE and RIIZE.
Best Music was split by season: BTS won spring and summer, PLAVE won fall, and Lee Chan-won won winter.
Lim Young-woong took two trophies in one night, the Judges’ Special Award and the TMA Popularity Award.
If you follow rookies, the Next Leader award went to CORTIS and ALPHA DRIVE ONE, and the Hottest award went to IDID and xikers.

Where to watch the TMA 2026 replay
As of September 20, 2026, the only confirmed way to watch is the performance clips and stage videos being released one by one after September 20.
As of the day after the show, no official full-replay broadcast link had been announced; performance clips and stage videos are being released sequentially after September 20, 2026.
So if you see a page claiming a full TMA 2026 replay on TVING, YouTube or anywhere else, treat it with care — no replay platform was confirmed in the coverage.
Whether the ceremony was livestreamed internationally on Beyond LIVE or YouTube could not be confirmed from available sources either.
If I were hunting the stages tonight, I would go straight to the sequentially released clips from September 20 onward — and I would not pay anyone for a ‘replay link’ that has not been officially announced.
One thing to check over the coming days: an official replay announcement would land on the organizers’ own channels, not on third-party pages.
The stages: 17 performances and the moments fans clipped
Seventeen teams performed at the September 19, 2026 ceremony at Busan Asiad Main Stadium — the first TMA ever held in Busan and the first domestic edition in 3 years, after Osaka (2024) and Macau (2025).
ATEEZ performed new song ‘BAD’, with member San’s killing part drawing a strong response from the crowd.
ALLDAY PROJECT took the stage as the first-ever co-ed group in TMA history, after accepting their Next Leader award via video the previous year.
TREASURE performed on the back of two consecutive million-seller albums, and CORTIS closed a double-win night of their own.
If you are picking two clips to watch first, ATEEZ’s ‘BAD’ stage and ALLDAY PROJECT’s first co-ed TMA performance are the ones most fans are clipping.
If you prefer rookie content, CORTIS’s stage on the night they won two trophies is the third clip worth your time.
What the winners said on stage
ATEEZ on winning Icon of the Year thanked fans, saying ‘this award has meaning because fans are by our side.’
RIIZE said ‘there are many stories not yet told in RIIZE’s journey — stay tuned.’
CORTIS credited the love for ‘REDRED’ and pointed to their 2nd album and 1st debut anniversary ahead.
Full quotes were reported for the four daesang winners only; acceptance speeches from the other categories were not carried in detail.
If you translate or repost these lines, keep them to the four confirmed quotes above.
CORTIS’s numbers back the Record of the Year win: over 2 million cumulative album sales with debut album ‘COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES’, and 3 million with mini album 2 ‘REDRED’ released in May 2026.
Why the Busan edition mattered — and what to watch next
The 2026 show was the first TMA in Busan and the first domestic ceremony in 3 years, after Osaka in 2024 and Macau in 2025.
Tickets were sold through Yes24 Ticket; the exact price tiers were not confirmed from a primary page.
Actor Kim Soo-hyun appeared as presenter for the TMA Popularity Award, his first official domestic public appearance in about 1 year and 6 months.
The show was hosted by The Fact and organized by Fan&Star and UCW.
If you are planning around what comes next, two dates matter: clips continue to drop after September 20, and CORTIS’s 2nd album is the release to watch this year.
If a full-replay platform is announced later, it will come from the organizers first — re-check there before clicking anything else.
