The 35th Seoul Music Awards (Seoul Music Awards, hereafter "Seoul Music Awards") will be held on June 20 at Inspire Arena in Yeongjongdo, Incheon. Hosted by Sports Seoul, the "Seoul Music Awards" organized by the organizing committee will meet global music fans this year with a splendid stage production and overwhelming scale at Inspire Arena. The biggest feature of the "Seoul Music Awards" is the principle of awarding the Grand Prize to only one group. Unlike other award ceremonies, this principle has been maintained to uphold the value and weight of the Grand Prize, establishing itself as a core indicator supporting the authority of the awards ceremony for 35 years. Since the first award given to Byung Jin-seop, global artists such as Seo Taiji and Boys, BTS, EXO, and NCT DREAM have walked this stage, and attention is focused on who will engrave their name this year. The "Seoul Music Awards" moved its timing to June starting last year to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Sports Seoul. In the previous 34th awards ceremony, (G)I-DLE won the Grand Prize and claimed the title of "Queen of K-POP." This year, many artists with global influence are expected to perform, and fans' interest in the Grand Prize winner is already rising. The organizing committee of the Seoul Music Awards revealed, "The 35th Seoul Music Awards will be a meaningful place where everyone who loves K-POP can share the excitement of the awards on-site. We want to provide the audience with a special experience on a high-quality stage that matches the dignity of the awards ceremony." Additional information on ticket reservation schedules, live broadcast channels, lineup of performers, and award categories will be released sequentially through official channels.
