ROSÉ and Jessica Sanchez are officially part of the 2026 Asian Hall of Fame class. The 22nd induction ceremony takes place November 5 in Los Angeles, with a preshow at 4 p.m. PT and the main program at 6 p.m. CBS LA anchor Suzie Suh will serve as master of ceremonies, and Ed Roth joins as musical director.
ROSÉ’s résumé keeps growing. The BLACKPINK member earned three Grammy nominations for“APT.”with Bruno Mars, and her solo album Rosie reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200. Sanchez’s path looks completely different on paper: American Idol runner-up in 2012, then America’s Got Talent winner in 2025, thirteen years apart.
The Asian Hall of Fame highlights artists whose work advances culture, commerce and community across generations. Maki Hsieh, the organization’s president and CEO, called this year’s inductees role models whose legacies will resonate for years. Which of these two careers do you think has had the bigger cultural impact? Sound off in the comments.
