Golden Disc Awards Goes Global: Hanoi Set to Host the 41st Edition

K-pop fans, mark your calendars — the Golden Disc Awards is packing its bags again! On July 15, organizer HLL confirmed that the 41st Golden Disc Awards will be held in Hanoi, Vietnam, in January 2027. It’s a big first: Vietnam has never hosted this iconic ceremony before, and it now becomes the eighth country to welcome the show overseas.

For the uninitiated, the Golden Disc Awards isn’t just another red-carpet event. It’s one of Korea’s oldest and most respected music honors, celebrating the artists who defined the year in K-pop and K-music. Expect the usual mix of emotional acceptance speeches, jaw-dropping stage performances, and a lineup stacked with the industry’s biggest names.

Choosing Hanoi is a smart move — Vietnam has become one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing hubs for Korean pop culture, and hosting the ceremony there signals just how far the Hallyu wave has traveled. This isn’t Golden Disc’s first trip abroad either; the show has a history of taking its stage to different countries to bring the celebration closer to global fans.

Organizers say more specifics — exact dates, venue, and the star-studded performer lineup — will roll out gradually in the coming months, so fans should keep an eye out for updates.
