Five wins in one night is a big number even by K-pop award show standards. TXT walked away as the biggest name at the 2026 KM Chart Awards, but the night’s other Daesang winners made sure the spotlight didn’t belong to just one group.

TXT’s Five-Win Night
TXT took home the top individual honor of the night, the Artist of the Year Daesang, alongside four additional awards. Two of those five wins — Best Popular Song and Best Popular Male Group — were determined entirely by fan voting, underlining just how strong the group’s fanbase turnout was this year.
The Other Three Daesang Winners
Beyond TXT, three other acts claimed the ceremony’s biggest individual honors. BTS took Album of the Year for their latest studio album, “ARIRANG.” MAMAMOO’s Hwasa won Song of the Year for “Good Goodbye,” a personal high point in her solo career. CORTIS rounded out the Daesang winners with Record of the Year for their EP “GREENGREEN,” continuing the group’s strong momentum this year.
The Ultimate 12: Who Made the Main Prize List
The ceremony’s Ultimate 12 — also known as the Bonsang, or main prizes — went to a mix of veteran and rising acts: BTS, Hwasa, TXT, P1Harmony, ZEROBASEONE, RIIZE, NCT WISH, KickFlip, Hearts2Hearts, ALLDAY PROJECT, CORTIS, and ALPHA DRIVE ONE. That spread reflects a genuinely broad cross-section of the industry, from long-running heavyweights to newer names still building their fanbases.
Notable Wins Across the Rest of the Categories
P1Harmony and Hearts2Hearts took Best Male Group and Best Female Group respectively, while LNGSHOT and ALPHA DRIVE ONE shared the New Artist Award. UNIS claimed Best Popular Female Group, and Young Tak won Best Popular Trot Award. Rounding out the night, LNGSHOT also picked up the Global Rising Star honor, while UNIS and 82MAJOR were named KM Favorite Icon.
