4th Gen Group Becomes The First K-Pop Act To Attend Country Music Award Show
P1Harmony are currently on their latest tour, 2024 P1Harmony LIVE TOUR [P1ustage H : UTOP1A] in Seoul and North America, which kicked off on April 28 in Seoul. The U.S. leg of the tour began on May 14 in Houston.
While the members are in Texas, they took the time to attend a prestigious award show. On May 16, P1Harmony attended The 59th Academy of Country Music Awards (also known as The 2024 ACM Awards) at the Ford Center in Frisco, Texas, featuring performers Jelly Roll, Post Malone, Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, Nate Smith and Avril Lavigne.
They are the first K-Pop group to be invited to this award show, which drew 7.7 million viewers last year. It also marks P1Harmony‘s first appearance at a major U.S. award show.
Founded in 1966, the ACMAs is a prestigious country music awards ceremony that annually selects artists and works that have performed well in the country music scene.

P1Harmony is continually making history. Last year, during their 2023 P1Harmony LIVE TOUR [P1ustage H: P1ONEER], they became the first K-Pop group to perform at the famous country venue, Grand Ole Opry House, in Nashville, Tennessee. They are returning to this venue for their current tour, too.
Congratulations, P1Harmony!
