Kim Soo-hyun to Appear as Presenter at THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS 2026
Actor Kim Soo-hyun is set to appear as an award presenter at the 2026 THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS (TMA) on Saturday, September 19, at Busan Asiad Main Stadium.
The TMA Organizing Committee previously confirmed that Kim Soo-hyun would join the ceremony as a presenter. His appearance has drawn significant attention as it marks his first official public appearance at a domestic event in South Korea in roughly a year and a half.
The actor, who made his debut in 2007, has built an international following through popular dramas including Dream High, Moon Embracing the Sun, My Love from the Star and Queen of Tears. He has also appeared in films including The Thieves.
His appearance at TMA comes as he gradually resumes public activities. Recent reports noted his appearances in overseas promotional activities, including an appearance on an Indonesian broadcaster’s special anniversary program.
