- The preview prepared by Star News for the fifth year of the disease is planned for the 2026 New Year

It's like a human being or an AI. On the occasion of the Year of the Red Horse in 2026, we asked AI which stars were particularly energetic this year. Not because AI predicts a special future. When numerous data and flows were overlapped, they naturally converged to names that the industry and the public had already been paying attention to.
Stars born in 1978, 1990 and 2002 in the year of the end of the year were selected as actors and singers expected this year. We asked ChatGPT (hereinafter referred to as ChatGPT) and Google Gemini (hereinafter referred to as Gemini), which are currently most commonly used by Korean netizens, respectively. There were differences, but they were similar. Who is this year's 'horse star' that both humans and AI agree on.
Following the actor's episode, I chose a singer.

First of all, Lee Seung-chul was chosen as the most anticipated singer of the year. Lee Seung-cheol adds meaning to the 40th anniversary of the year of the horse. As a star born in 1966, he is showing unrivaled buzz by simultaneously producing a national tour "Okest Rock" and an autobiographical musical celebrating his 40th anniversary in his year.
Above all, various performances of singers born in 2002 were expected this year. Citing Ji Sung of the group NCT, he said, "I'm looking forward to playing as the main rapper and dancer in the team. He said, "We are taking off our boyishness and exuding more mature masculinity." He also evaluated that as a veteran in his 10th year of debut, he felt his inner strength in the way he communicated with his fans and relaxed on stage.
Sung Hoon of ENHYPEN, a group that is set to make its first comeback in the new year, also paid attention. He has shown global fandom and high record performance, and predicted that he is expected to perform well in the new year as a visual position within the team. He made sure that ENHYPEN, who has been continuing his world tour and album activities, did well.
There is also group aespa Ningning. Ningning was selected as the most powerful "global star" as the team's global influence as the main vocal and continued to attend overseas tours and large festivals.
Lastly, group NMIXX Lilly. Lily saw her presence growing with her visuals and vocal lines. In particular, NMIX said that it is a talented girl group, which has a steady schedule of activities such as music broadcasts, and has high expectations for future albums.

First of all, stars born in the year of the end of 2002 are attracting attention first. There are a large number of idols representing the music industry, so expectations are high for their performance in 2026.
Aespa Ningning continues his heyday based on his outstanding visuals and stable singing skills. In particular, its presence in the global market is expected to expand further as it is set to conduct a large-scale world tour, including the 2026 Japan Dome Tour.
RIZE Won Bin is also a star born in the year of the end of 2002. Considered a representative face of fifth-generation idols, he is expected to continue his intense performance and high buzz as a central member of the team in 2026.

ENHYPEN's Jay, Jake, and Sung Hoon are called the so-called "Gongise" trio and are greatly loved by fans. Starting with the comeback of their 7th mini album in January 2026, they are predicting a wide range of moves that encompass individuals and teams, including global ambassador activities.
IVE Autumn has been loved by the public under the nickname "Autumn Senior". Amid the team's steady activities, he is foreshadowing a new transformation in 2026 with a deeper atmosphere and mature charm.
Lee Young-ji is an icon representing the MZ generation, continuing her all-round move across music and entertainment. Based on its unique candid energy and influence, it is expected to expand its presence in the entire culture in 2026.
TAEHYUN and HUENINGKAI of TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) are also attracting attention as horse year stars. The two members, who have an all-rounder aspect, are expected to expand their musical spectrum further starting in the new year and add strength to their team activities.

In addition, a number of stars who are expected to perform well in the year of the horse were listed. Veteran singers, who have passed more than 10 years since their debut, are expected to fill 2026 with deeper music and relaxed stage manners based on their accumulated experience.
Highlight Yang Yo-seop, BTOB Seo Eun-kwang, and Lee Min-hyuk are considered talented vocal lines representing the music industry. They plan to continue to work with fans in 2026 through album activities and performances based on their solid singing skills.
