2026 Melon Music Awards

The Melon Music Awards began in 2005, and its winners are decided from Melon's own usage data together with fan voting and an expert panel. The 2026 edition is the first held over two days; the slogan its organiser has set is "K-POP CONNECT: The New Pulse", and some of its categories are tied to the Global K-Chart, a tally compiled jointly by music platforms in Korea, China and Japan.
