2025 Korea Grand Music Awards (KGMA) Announces 1st Lineup

The 2025 Korea Grand Music Awards (KGMA) has announced its first lineup of performing artists! On September 3, the Korea Grand Music Awards announced that Stray Kids, ATEEZ, IVE, BOYNEXTDOOR, KISS OF LIFE, and FIFTY FIFTY would all be attending this year’s award ceremony.

Last year, Ilgan Sports—the Korean newspaper that created the famous Golden Disc Awards and organized it for 24 years, from 1986 to 2020—launched a new music award ceremony honoring mainstream artists from a variety of genres, including K-pop and trot. This year’s awards will be held over two days on November 14 and 15 at Incheon’s INSPIRE Arena, with Red Velvet’s Irene and KISS OF LIFE’s Natty hosting the ceremony on Day 1 and Day 2 respectively. Actress Nam Ji Hyun will also serve as MC on both days of the awards. Stay tuned for the next lineup of artists! Source (1)
