Kim Soo Hyun will attend the 2026 The Fact Music Awards as a presenter. The organizing committee for The Fact Music Awards announced the schedule on August 28.
The event is scheduled to take place on September 19 at Busan Asiad Main Stadium. Multiple media outlets reported that this will be his first official public appearance in South Korea in approximately 18 months since his press conference last March.
What Has Been Confirmed in This Announcement
- Event: 2026 The Fact Music Awards
- Role: Presenter
- Date: September 19, 2026
- Venue: Busan Asiad Main Stadium
The key point is that he will attend as a presenter at an official domestic event, not that he has been cast in a new project.
Kim Soo Hyun was also reported to have appeared on the live special broadcast “Mahakarya RCTI 37,” held in Indonesia on August 23 local time to mark RCTI’s 37th anniversary, where he sang “Dreaming,” an OST from the drama “Dream High.”
What Does His Attendance Mean?
The TMA schedule confirms his return to an official domestic event. However, there is no separately verified basis for interpreting a presenter appearance alone as confirmation of a new acting project, a full resumption of domestic activities, or the resolution of related controversies.
Therefore, the facts currently confirmed are the announcement of his attendance, his role as a presenter, and the September 19 event in Busan. The award category he will present and any remarks he may make at the venue are difficult to determine before further announcements.
