TVXQ member Max Changmin will lead the "31st Anniversary Hanteo Music Awards 2023."

Hanteo Global, the organizer of the "Hanteo Music Awards," announced on the 1st that "TVXQ's Max Changmin has been confirmed as the host for the '31st Anniversary Hanteo Music Awards 2023' (hereinafter referred to as Hanteo Music Awards)."

TVXQ was the first group since Seo Taiji and Boys to win both the Rookie of the Year and the Grand Prize simultaneously. They hold various records, including a "Grand Slam" at the 2006 awards ceremonies, a diverse history of awards at various ceremonies, and a total of two years ranking first in annual album sales.

Furthermore, since debuting in Japan as TVXQ in 2005, Changmin has set records as the first Asian group and male singer to reach number one on the Oricon Weekly Chart and holds the record for the most number-one hits by an overseas artist. As a Korean idol group, they have written various records, such as holding a solo concert at the Tokyo Dome and mobilizing a record-breaking 1 million spectators in a single tour by an overseas artist.

Kwak Young-ho, CEO of Hanteo Global, expressed his expectations, stating, "Max Changmin is a protagonist who led the K-pop boom and a K-pop legend who has maintained his top position for about 20 years. The image he has built will more clearly convey the concepts and values that the 'Hanteo Music Awards' pursues."

Meanwhile, the "Hanteo Music Awards" will be held from the 17th to the 18th at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) in Jung-gu, Seoul. Both days will be broadcast live on SBS's M channel.
