The "2025 Korea Grand Music Awards" (KGMA) will be held on November 14 and 15 at the Inspire Arena in Incheon. This event is hosted by Ilgan Sports and features various stages under the theme "Link to K-pop." KGMA will be conducted in a format that sings the history of K-pop and connects stages and generations.

The first day, November 14, will be "Artist Day," and the second day, November 15, will be "Music Day." On Music Day, a total of 16 teams will perform unique and distinctive stages. In particular, Stray Kids is preparing a special stage that has never been shown on broadcast, and all performing artists are planning special performances for the KGMA audience.

IVE will present a special "IVE feature" performance that organically expresses the story including "Rebel Heart" and "XOXZ" at this KGMA. Since their debut, IVE has established their identity by singing about self-love and has honed their skills through various stage experiences such as Lollapalooza. This stage is expected to feature both group choreography and solo performances.

Natti will host Music Day. Natti will showcase hit song performances as a special MC stage by the top solo female artist in Korea. Known for her powerful performances, earning the nickname "Hot Girl," Natti is promising an unprecedented solo performance through this stage. It is expected to be as intense as the "Spark" stage by aespa's Winter, who served as MC last year.

Fifth-generation K-pop boy groups IDIT, Nop, Close Your Eyes, and Kickflip will cover hit songs from groups representing the 1st to 4th generations, from H.O.T. to Stray Kids, on a special stage. They plan to connect the past and present of K-pop, embodying the meaning of "Link to K-pop."

The lineup of award presenters is also drawing attention. Byun Woo-seok will appear as an award presenter on the KGMA stage on the 15th. He rose to stardom last year through the tvN drama "Sunjae Upgo Twi." Despite being busy filming his next project, the MBC drama "21st Century Daegun Buin," Byun Woo-seok will meet fans through KGMA. It is noteworthy which artist he will present the prestigious trophy to.

Now in its second year, KGMA aims to provide a diverse experience to fans worldwide through stages that combine musical evolution and the latest technology. The event is divided into "Artist Day" and "Music Day" over two days, November 14 and 15, featuring a total of 31 teams including The Boyz, Miyao, Park Seo-jin, Boy Next Door, Psycus, I.N.I, ATEEZ, Xdinary Heroes, All Day Project, WOODZ, Lee Chan-won, CRAVITY, Kiki, Fifty Fifty, SMTR25, and more.
