The 2026 Melon Music Awards is teasing a packed second night, from a special IVE song selection to NCT 127's 10th-anniversary performance.

On Friday, organizer Kakao Entertainment unveiled what to watch for in the performances by all 12 acts on the second day of the 2026 Melon Music Awards (MMA2026), which takes place November 15 at Seoul Gocheok Sky Dome.

The ceremony is running for two days for the first time, on November 14 and 15. The second-day lineup includes 82MAJOR, ALPHA DRIVE ONE, And2ble, CORTIS, hrtz.wav, ILLIT, IVE, KiiiKiii, Longshot, NCT 127, NCT WISH and PLAVE.

IVE has prepared a setlist that reimagines the music that launched the group's debut. The specific song titles have not been revealed, which is fueling curiosity about what the group will perform. NCT 127, celebrating its 10th anniversary, will stage a performance that links the musical journey of the past decade.

ILLIT will pair its performance of "It's Me" with an arrest operation built around a mysterious figure. Fans will be watching to see who takes the stage in place of actor Song Kang, who appeared in the song's music video. PLAVE will present space-inspired visuals and plans to reveal a separate surprise at the end of its set.

82MAJOR has prepared a cypher featuring all six members. ALPHA DRIVE ONE will perform with a large troupe of dancers, while And2ble will open with a high-powered performance. CORTIS has teased a set that freely draws on music and staging and brings the audience into the show.

hrtz.wav will deliver a live set in which the sounds of each instrument blend together. KiiiKiii will take on a house-party concept whose mood shifts as time passes, while NCT WISH will perform under a Wishland concept that moves between a refreshing, breezy feel and a dreamy atmosphere. Longshot, which made its debut at last year's ceremony, will showcase a year of growth.

The Melon Music Awards began in 2005 as an online ceremony and expanded to an in-person event in 2009. Winners are chosen based on Melon streaming data, fan votes and expert evaluations.

On both days, the red carpet begins at 5:00 p.m. (KST), followed by the main ceremony at 6:00 p.m. (KST). In South Korea, the show will be livestreamed on the Melon app and website and on Wavve. In Japan, it will stream on U-NEXT, and in Taiwan on TVBS42 and CATCHPLAY+. Viewers in other regions can watch on 1theK and Melon's YouTube channel.
