The Seoul Music Awards is building strong anticipation with a newly highlighted K-pop lineup that brings together established names, rising teams and fan-favorite performers. The event is set to feature a broad range of artists, including ATEEZ, LE SSERAFIM, BOYNEXTDOOR, Kwon Eunbi, SAY MY NAME, KiiiKiii, CLOSE YOUR EYES, AHOF, IDID, ALPHA DRIVE ONE and MODYSSEY, creating a stage that reflects both the current power and the next wave of Korean pop.
The lineup is especially useful for fans who follow the movement of K-pop beyond single releases and comeback promotions. Award shows often become a snapshot of the industry's current momentum, showing which artists are leading public attention, which teams are expanding their stage presence and which newer names are beginning to stand beside larger acts. With groups and solo artists from different generations included, this year's stage has the potential to deliver both polished headline performances and discovery moments for newer fandoms.
ATEEZ adds strong global touring power to the lineup, while LE SSERAFIM brings fresh attention following their latest comeback activity. BOYNEXTDOOR continues to represent one of the most visible boy group names among newer-generation acts, and Kwon Eunbi adds solo star appeal with a performance identity that has grown steadily across music, festivals and broadcast stages.
The inclusion of newer teams such as SAY MY NAME, KiiiKiii, CLOSE YOUR EYES, AHOF, IDID, ALPHA DRIVE ONE and MODYSSEY also gives the event a wider editorial angle. Rather than focusing only on the biggest names, the lineup shows how quickly the K-pop field is refreshing itself with rookie and emerging artists. For fans, this makes the Seoul Music Awards more than a trophy ceremony. It becomes a concentrated stage where the current K-pop scene, from proven performers to next-generation names, can be seen in one place.
