Sung Si-kyung and Moon Ga-young to Host 40th Golden Disc Awards in Taipei

Veteran singer Sung Si-kyung and actress Moon Ga-young are set to return as hosts for the upcoming 40th Golden Disc Awards, marking their second consecutive year leading the prestigious K-music ceremony. The event is scheduled to take place on January 10, 2026, at the iconic TAIPEI DOME in Taiwan.

This reunion follows their successful collaboration at the 39th Golden Disc Awards, where they co-hosted alongside Cha Eun-woo. With Cha Eun-woo currently fulfilling his military service, Sung Si-kyung and Moon Ga-young will anchor the 40th-anniversary celebrations, promising a spectacular show.

Sung Si-kyung, often dubbed the 'Voice of Golden Disc,' will be hosting the awards for the tenth consecutive year. His smooth vocals and masterful hosting skills have consistently bridged the gap between artists and their global fanbase. Having witnessed and celebrated the evolution of K-pop firsthand, he is uniquely positioned to honor the year's most celebrated artists. Renowned for his ballads and his ability to sell out concerts at venues like KSPO DOME, Sung Si-kyung brings both artistic credibility and a deep understanding of music's value to the stage. His previous international hosting experiences in Thailand, Indonesia, and Japan have prepared him to shine once again on the global stage in Taipei.

Moon Ga-young, celebrated as the 'Muse of Golden Disc,' embarks on her second hosting journey. Her debut last year was remarkably polished, showcasing her ability to maintain a graceful demeanor and adeptly manage the show's pacing. Her meticulous preparation and genuine effort were evident, earning widespread acclaim. Her recent global popularity, fueled by the success of the drama 'Seocho-dong' across multiple countries including the US, Brazil, and France, has also seen her drama rank highly on streaming platforms in Taiwan. As she continues her Asian fan meeting tour, her presence at the Golden Disc Awards is expected to further enhance her connection with international fans.

The 40th Golden Disc Awards promises to be a grand celebration, commemorating a year of outstanding achievements in Korean popular music. The milestone event, held in Taiwan's largest indoor stadium, is set to be a memorable occasion for artists and fans alike.

Sung Si-kyung has been a staple MC for the Golden Disc Awards for a decade, becoming synonymous with the event. Beyond his vocal talents, he is widely recognized for his stable and witty hosting. In 2024, he released the new song 'Jamkkan,' demonstrating his continued commitment to his music career.
