As the grand event is being hosted at the KSPO Dome in Seoul, the long-awaited 33주년 한터뮤직어워즈 2025 is now underway, revealing the latest winners of the 33rd Hanteo Music Awards 2025 in real time. The event, which took place on February 15, 2026, is the annual award show organised by Hanteo Global to honour the artists and songs that topped the Hanteo Charts in 2025.
To host the event, the organisers have chosen Girls’ Generation member Tiffany Young and singer Lee Chan-won, bringing the idol and singing talent together to host the event with the top stars from the K-pop and Hallyu scenes and beyond. The performances at the event are also filled with top talent, including ATEEZ, ARTMS, LUCY, WEi, tripleS, Billlie, 8TURN, NOWZ, Forestella, and many more, with special performances celebrating the 10th debut anniversary with PENTAGON.
Ps. Although the event took place in early 2026, the awards honour the musical achievements and album sales from January to December 2025. This gives the winners the title of both the 33rd Hanteo Music Awards 2025 and the 2026 event winners.
