The Korean magic team Hundred Fingers won the Golden Buzzer at America's Got Talent 2026 in the United States.

An audition video released by NBC's audition program "America's Got Talent 2026" (America's Got Talent 2026, hereinafter "AGT") on the 9th (local time) featured Hundred Fingers becoming the first Korean team to receive the Golden Buzzer. Although the World Taekwondo Federation (WT) demonstration team received the Golden Buzzer in 2021, it was a mixed team that included American members.

Hundred Fingers is a project team composed of 10 Korean magicians, including magician Yu Ho-jin, a FISM Grand Prix winner and SBS "The Magic Star" champion, along with Kim Ho-san, Kim Do-hyun, Kim Ji-ho, Yoon Je-seop, Kim Cheol-gyu, Choi Jun-hyeong, Yeon Mun-hyeong, Kim Han-soo, and Lee Hyun-yong.

This performance drew attention as a collective creative work completed by 10 top-tier magicians rather than a single star magician. The stage, combining meticulously coordinated direction, overwhelming scale, and the original ideas of Korean magicians, captured the hearts of both the live audience and the judges.

The AGT Golden Buzzer is a symbolic system that grants participants the right to advance to the live show, representing a special privilege directly chosen by the judges or the host. It is regarded as an honor that only a very small number of participants among many can receive.

Magician Yu Ho-jin shared his thoughts, saying, "Ten magicians spent a long time thinking and preparing for one stage," and added, "I am happy to be able to show the world the potential and competitiveness of Korean magicians."

Meanwhile, Hundred Fingers is focusing on preparations for the AGT live show scheduled for August.
