South Korea’s rising co‑ed K-pop powerhouse, AllDay Project, made a statement that will resonate throughout the industry after claiming both Rookie of the Year and a major main prize at the 40th Golden Disc Awards with Upbit, a rare feat that few newcomers ever achieve.
The group, Annie, Tarzzan, Bailey, Woochan, and Youngseo, attended the awards for the first time and walked away with two of the night’s most coveted accolades in the Digital Song Division, including the Digital Song Main Prize for their chart-topping hits. Overwhelmed by the recognition, the members delivered an emotional acceptance speech, thanking fans for their unwavering support and promising to push boundaries in their music. They also paid tribute to Teddy Park and the team at The Black Label, whose guidance helped shape the group’s signature sound and electrifying performances.
AllDay Project, which debuted in June 2025 with the dual title tracks “FAMOUS” and “WICKED”, quickly captured attention as one of K-pop’s most talked-about rookie acts. Their pre-release single “ONE MORE TIME” dominated Korean charts, breaking into Melon’s Top 100 and topping real-time rankings, while their debut EP, ALLDAY PROJECT, shattered first-day sales records.
The group’s meteoric rise continued with multiple music show victories, including a recent win on M Countdown with “LOOK AT ME,” solidifying their presence in the competitive K-pop arena just months after their debut.
Their historic double win at the Golden Disc Awards has thrust AllDay Project into the international spotlight, earning them a nomination for Best K-pop New Artist at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards in Los Angeles, further amplifying their global reach.
From record-breaking debuts to award-show domination, AllDay Project’s breakthrough night at the Golden Disc Awards is not just a milestone — it’s a signal that this co-ed group is poised to redefine K-pop success in 2026 and beyond.
