The Unforgettable Gala, an end-of-year award celebration that honors the API community’s brightest talents in entertainment, arts and culture, has announced a slate of performers for its 2024 awards celebration.
The event, taking place this year on Dec. 14, will feature performances from K-Pop star Wonho, The Jets and 98 Degrees, The Hollywood Reporter has exclusively learned.
The evening will feature a “very special AAPI timeline performance” that will bring the audience through the decades, including The Jets, who were the first AAPI group to get into the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart and 98 Degrees with a soon-to-be announced special guest, according to a release.
Founded by Character Media in 2002 and produced this year by GoldenTV and Character Media, the Unforgettable Gala will be co-chaired by writer and director Adele Lim and actor and producer Eugene Lee Yang. Members of the event’s selection committee include Apl.de.Ap, Awkwafina, Bing Chen, Destin Daniel Cretton, Manny Jacinto, Daniel Dae Kim, Lisa Ling, Simu Liu, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan and more. New partners for the 2024 event include Cartier, Fenty and Vizio.
“This year’s Unforgettable Gala is more than a celebration of our biggest names today; it’s a recognition of the longtime allies and icons who have given so much to our community,” Takashi Cheng, founder and CEO of GoldenTV, said in a statement.
This year’s gala, promoted as “Unforgettable Together,” hopes to bring together API artists and legends in entertainment through new and unique collaborations and performances and is a “concerted effort to unite generations of the greater API community and highlight icons, allies and supporters,” according to a release.
The event will take place at the Beverly Hilton and air nationwide on Dec. 18 on ChimeTV.
