The 2025 K-World Dream Awards, one of the largest global K-pop festivals, will be held on August 21 at Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul.

Originally launched as the Soribada Best K-Music Awards in 2017, the event has become a key annual celebration of K-pop, attracting fans from around the world. Despite a name change, it has continued to be held in Seoul, promoting Hallyu tourism.

This year’s ceremony will include dynamic performances from top-tier K-pop artists, as well as fan-participation events such as the Blue Carpet, where artists can interact with fans before the show. A charity auction featuring autographed or personal items donated by the artists will also be held to support underprivileged communities. 

In addition, online voting for popularity awards will take place through the global fandom platform DukAd, starting in late June. 

The event will be broadcast live via the HelloLive streaming platform.

The full artist lineup will be announced later and further details will be shared on the official website soon. Stay tuned-!
