MODYSSEY scores triple crown in debut year, global rise continues

Boy group MODYSSEY made its presence felt in its debut year by claiming its third trophy at a major K-pop awards ceremony.

Three awards in just months prove MODYSSEY is a global rookie MODYSSEY (Heng Yu, Pan Zheyi, Li Zhihao, Lin Lin, Su Ren, Yi Chen and Rowan) won the Global Connect award at the 2026 SPOTV K-POP AWARDS, held on the afternoon of the 6th at KINTEX in Ilsan, Goyang, Gyeonggi province. The group, which officially debuted in April, has now secured three awards in just a few months, following the Global Rookie Award at the 2026 Seoul Music Awards and the KM SPOTLIGHT award at KMA 2026. “As rookies, we’re honored to perform on stages around the world, and we owe it all to our fans,” the members said in their emotional acceptance speech.

MODYSSEY takes its momentum from 300,000 first-week sales to stages worldwide Formed through Mnet’s survival programs 〈Boys Planet 2〉 and 〈Planet C: Home Race〉, MODYSSEY demonstrated the strength of its fan base when first-week sales of its debut single, '1.Got Hooked: An Addictive Symphony,' surpassed 300,000 copies, according to Hanteo Chart. The group went on to capture global fans’ attention with consecutive appearances at KCON JAPAN 2026 and KCON LA 2026 in the United States, as well as at the NEWMARS Music Festival in Qingdao and TIMA 2026 in Hong Kong.

New album in October extends MODYSSEY’s rise after six months After building solid stage experience across Korea, the United States, Japan and China, MODYSSEY will make a full-scale comeback in October with its second album, '2.Multitude: How We Bloom,' riding the momentum of its three award wins. “With our October comeback ahead, we’ll repay our fans’ love with a wide range of activities throughout the second half of the year,” the group said.
