RIIZE, YOUNG POSSE, NCT WISH, and KickFlip have been named in the 3rd lineup for the "D AWARDS." The 1st lineup of presenters supporting the powerful start of the "D AWARDS" includes Cha Seung-won, Ahn Eun-jin, Bae In-hyuk, Kim Ji-eun, and Mimiminu.

"K-POP top-tier" group RIIZE will be appearing at the "D AWARDS." Following their digital single "Love 119" last year, RIIZE released their first mini-album "RIIZING," sparking a "RIIZE syndrome." Through "RIIZING," they not only showcased a boundless musical worldview but also achieved the feat of making every track on the album a hit. Having become the "present and future of K-POP" in just their second year since debut, RIIZE released a remake version of "Hug" by their agency's legendary group, TVXQ, on the 8th of last month.

YOUNG POSSE will also take the stage at the "D AWARDS." Having built an identity based on authentic hip-hop with tracks like "XXL" and "ATE THAT," they heated up 12 cities across North America during their first US tour, "The Hungry Tour," last year.

"Rookie of the Year" NCT WISH has established themselves as the synonym for the refreshing charm that is the secret weapon of 5th-generation idols, thanks to their all-around activity in their debut year. With every song they release, they showcase hopeful music, energetic performances, and a refreshing charm, supporting the dreams of fans worldwide while achieving their own growth. "Steady," released last September, exceeded 800,000 copies in pre-orders alone, setting the highest record among artists who debuted in 2024.

"JYP super rookie" KickFlip, who opened the doors to K-POP in 2025, will make their awards show debut through the "D AWARDS." Having released their first mini-album on the 20th, KickFlip immediately climbed to the top of daily album charts such as the Hanteo Chart and Circle Chart, demonstrating the power of an extraordinary super rookie right from the start.

Along with the 3rd lineup, the "D AWARDS" also unveiled the 1st lineup of presenters who will grace the awards ceremony.

Cha Seung-won, who has reigned as a K-content icon by showing intense charisma in movies and dramas and a friendly image in variety shows, will appear as a presenter for the "D AWARDS." For this awards ceremony, expectations are high for the suit look that is Cha Seung-won's exclusive trademark as a trendsetter.
