The 34th Seoul Music Awards, held on June 21, 2025, rolled out the red carpet for K-pop stars and soloists to celebrate South Korea's musical achievements of 2024. The event took place at the Inspire Arena in Incheon, South Korea. While it's usually held in January, this time it was delayed by five months. Still, the night delivered with powerful performances and some unexpected wins. BTS' Jimin and RM bagged their first music award post-military discharge, while another HYBE boy band, TXT, swept the winners list. BLACKPINK's Rosé was hailed for two major wins.
