Evan will take another important step in his solo career when he performs at the 2026 TMElive International Music Awards in Hong Kong. His agency, Belift Lab, confirmed on July 15, 2026, that the South Korean singer will appear at the event on August 23, 2026, the second day of the two-day event at Kai Tak Stadium. The music ceremony, which has reached its second year, has become one of the biggest entertainment events in the region by bringing together artists from across Asia. Evan is expected to perform alongside several popular K-pop acts, making it one of the biggest events since beginning his solo career this year.
The event’s lineup also includes well-known groups such as Super Junior, Stray Kids, and aespa, showing the popularity of KPop acts in the Chinese music scene. Meanwhile, Evan officially began his solo career after leaving ENHYPEN and released his debut single “Ride or Die” in June 2026. The track quickly gained chart success by reaching the top of the iTunes Top Songs chart in nine regions and climbing to No. 5 on Melon’s Hot 100 chart in South Korea.
Before traveling to Hong Kong, Evan is also scheduled to headline the Grammy Museum’s “Spotlight” series in Los Angeles on July 15, 2026. The artist will perform at the Ray Charles Rooftop Terrace as part of the museum’s program, which combines live performances with conversations about artists and their creative process. With major appearances planned for the United States and China, Evan’s solo career is up and running, shortly after exiting ENHYPEN.
