BLACKPINK's Jisoo and TXT's Yeonjun confirmed as SBS Gayo Daejeon hosts

Six K-pop stars will take turns presenting this year's SBS Gayo Daejeon as the annual music festival expands to two days for the first time.

South Korean broadcaster SBS announced on Monday (09.11.26) that TXT's Yeonjun will host the Christmas Eve show alongside IVE's An Yu Jin and RIIZE's Sungchan.

BLACKPINK's Jisoo will lead the Christmas Day celebrations with BOYNEXTDOOR's Woonhak and TWS's Shinyu.

The two groups of presenters will take charge of separate shows on December 24 and 25 at KINTEX in Ilsan, South Korea.

The expanded format marks the festival's 30th anniversary, giving organisers two nights to bring together established K-pop acts and newer performers.

SBS previously announced 22 artists and groups for the celebrations, including Stray Kids, ENHYPEN, TREASURE, TXT, IVE and NMIXX.

Other confirmed acts include ZEROBASEONE, RIIZE, BOYNEXTDOOR, TWS, NCT WISH and &TEAM.

Rising groups such as Hearts2Hearts, MEOVV, KickFlip and CORTIS are also scheduled to take part.

Organisers have promised further announcements, including appearances by established artists who have performed at the festival over the past three decades.

The full performance schedule and which acts will appear on each day have not yet been revealed.

Jisoo's involvement is expected to attract particular attention from BLACKPINK fans, while Yeonjun will help open the anniversary celebrations on Christmas Eve.

The festival traditionally brings together some of South Korea's biggest music acts for special year-end performances and collaborations.

This year's two-day event will give the programme more room for performances as the organisers celebrate three decades of the annual show.
