Actor Ji Chang-wook will meet fans worldwide as the MC for the global No. 1 awards show 'Asia Artist Awards'.

Ji Chang-wook will serve as the MC for 'Asia Artist Awards 2026' (hereinafter 'AAA 2026'), to be held in Kaohsiung in early December. This marks Ji Chang-wook's first time serving as an awards show MC since his debut.

Ji Chang-wook has established himself as a top-tier actor, earning praise for his ability to create narratives with a single glance, showcasing a broad acting spectrum and high-difficulty action skills without holding back. He has led global OTT No. 1 popularity in every drama he has appeared in, including 'Gangnam B-Side', 'The Worst Evil', and 'Welcome to Samdalri'. Recently, in the film 'COLONY', he played Choi Hyun-seok, a security team employee at Donguri Building, receiving great love from the public by demonstrating dense emotional acting and a unique action presence.

This year's 'AAA 2026' adds significance by confirming its venue at Kaohsiung National Stadium for the second consecutive year, following last year's '10th Anniversary AAA 2025'. Jang Won-young was previously announced as the first MC for 'AAA 2026', and additional MC lineup members will be revealed following Ji Chang-wook. There is growing interest in 'AAA 2026', a super-special year-end festival that will heat up the end of the year with a powerful lineup.

'Asia Artist Awards' is Korea's first integrated awards show that honors both actors and singers. It has firmly established itself as the global No. 1 awards show where the main stars of K-POP, K-DRAMA, and K-MOVIE that lit up the year all gather.

Meanwhile, 'AAA 2026', hosted by StarNews and organized by the AAA Organizing Committee (Jo Jik-wi (Director) Park Jun-cheol), Motive (MOTIVE, CEO Cho Hyun-woo), and D-SOW, will take place over two days on December 5-6 at Kaohsiung National Stadium. The artist lineup that will shine at the awards show will be revealed sequentially at a later date.
