Some of the most in-demand actors in K-drama and K-movie, who have gained recognition both in Korea and worldwide, are set to gather as award presenters at the upcoming 2025 Korea Grand Music Awards with iMBank (2025 KGMA).
On September 19, the KGMA Organizing Committee officially announced the star-studded lineup of presenters for the ceremony, which will be held on November 14–15 at Inspire Arena in Incheon. The list includes Kang Tae Oh, Gong Seung Yeon, Kwon Yul, Kim Dan, Kim Do Yeon, Kim Do Hoon, Kim Min Seok, Kim Yo Han, Moon Chae Won, Park Se Wan, Bae Hyun Sung, Byun Woo Seok, Seo Eun Soo, Shin Seung Ho, Ahn Hyo Seop, Uhm Tae Goo, Yeonwoo, Ong Seong Wu, Yoon Ga Yi, Lee Seol, Lee Se Young, Lee Yeol Eum, Lee Joo Yeon, Jung Joon Won, Chae Seo An, Choi Sooyoung, Choi Yoon Ji, Choo Young Woo, and Ha Young, among others.
This year’s presenters are not only household names who have raised the profile of K-content and K-pop on a global scale but also rising stars making their mark in the industry.
Ahn Hyo Seop recently voiced Jinu in Netflix’s global hit KPop Demon Hunters and made his big-screen debut in Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy, proving his versatility. Byun Woo Seok continues to ride high on his success from Lovely Runner and will greet fans at KGMA while filming his next MBC drama Wife of a 21st Century Prince.
Girls’ Generation’s Choi Sooyoung will present awards as both a veteran idol and actress, while WEi’s Kim Yo Han, who drew attention in SBS’s The Winning Try, will appear as a presenter in his actor capacity. Ong Seong Wu, now active in theater with Shakespeare in Love, joins the lineup, adding depth to this year’s roster given the influx of survival show rookies debuting in 2025.
Former idol stars-turned-actors like Yeonwoo (ex-MOMOLAND), Lee Joo Yeon (ex-After School), and Kim Do Yeon (ex-I.O.I) will also take the stage, reconnecting with fans at a major music event. Top actors and rising stars such as Choo Young Woo, Uhm Tae Goo, and Kang Tae Oh add further weight to the prestigious lineup.
Other notable presenters include Moon Chae Won, Gong Seung Yeon, Lee Se Young, Park Se Wan, Seo Eun Soo, Bae Hyun Sung, and more, each representing the diverse spectrum of talent shaping K-content’s global reach.
The KGMA has already revealed parts of its lineup, including BOYNEXTDOOR, Stray Kids, IVE, ATEEZ, Kiss of Life, and FIFTY FIFTY, with rookie and trot/band artists also confirmed. Additional lineup announcements, including special stages, are expected soon.
Hosted by Nam Ji Hyun (returning for the second consecutive year), the two-day ceremony will also feature Red Velvet’s Irene and Kiss of Life’s Natty as MCs on November 14 and 15, respectively.
