The 1st D Awards, a ‘festival of stars’, is shining even brighter with the announcement of its 2nd lineup.
N.Flying, P1Harmony, tripleS, ZEROBASEONE, and 82MAJOR have been named to the 2nd lineup of the K-pop awards ceremony, ‘1st D Awards’.

On the 13th, the D Awards announced the confirmed 2nd lineup of performers who will shine at the awards ceremony, including N.Flying, P1Harmony, tripleS, ZEROBASEONE, and 82MAJOR.

N.Flying, the symbol of a band you can trust and listen to, will be taking to the ‘D Awards’ stage. N.Flying, the main characters of the reverse running myth represented by ‘Rooftop Room’, garnered attention last year by continuing their prowess with ‘Blue Moon’. Furthermore, ‘Sunjae Up and Run’, which featured leader Lee Seung Hyub, became a syndrome-level hit, and ‘Star’, which was included in the drama, also became a mega hit, putting the ‘N.Flying‘s true value’ in the spotlight again.

P1Harmony showed off their unstoppable power in the global music market. They released their first full-length album ‘Killin’ It’ and their seventh mini-album ‘SAD SONG, and recorded their highest ranking of 16th on the US Billboard main chart ‘Billboard 200’. They also garnered attention by being selected as ‘Favorite Team Dynamic’ in the ‘The 2024 K-pop Yearbook’ by music media outlet Consequence.

Last year, Triple S proved the title of ‘Idols with All Possibilities’ by showcasing various DIMENSIONS, starting with their full group promotions. They were also the only K-pop girl group to be selected as one of the ‘50 Best Albums of 2024’ by the British magazine NME with their first full-length album ‘Assemble 24’ released in May of last year. In addition, ‘Girls Never Die’, the title song of ‘Assemble 24’, became a mega hit and established themselves as Triple S‘s signature song.

ZERO BASE ONE, a leader in the 5th generation idols, was active in all directions last year, releasing two mini-albums and a Japanese single. In particular, their 4th mini-album sold over 1 million copies in just one day of release, making them the ‘first K-pop group’ to achieve ‘one-million-seller-on-the-day-of-release‘ for four consecutive albums since their debut album. ZERO BASE ONE also held their first world tour ‘Timeless World’ last year, meeting with 140,000 fans around the world.

5th generation ‘hot rookie’ 82MAJOR will also be attending their first awards ceremony since their debut. 82 Major, who debuted in October 2023, ranked 45th on Billboard’s Album Sales and 37th on Current Album Sales in November of last year, and 6th on the US DRT‘s ‘Global Top 150 Independent Airplay Chart’ in December of last year. They are gaining global popularity based on their beautiful visuals and solid live performance skills, which led to the craze for the song ‘Tip of the Tongue’.

The Awards announced its first lineup on the 6th, including ENHYPEN, FIFTY FIFTY, QWER, TOURS, and EUNICE, and is completing its solid lineup by adding its second lineup today.

The 1st D Awards with upick, hosted by Sports Donga and co-hosted by ‘UPICK’ and WSM, will be held at 6 PM on February 22nd at the Hwajeong Gymnasium of Korea University in Seoul.
