Experience K-POP’s Biggest Night Live in Korea! 

The Seoul Music Awards (SMA) is one of the most iconic and long-standing K-POP award ceremonies, first held in 1990. Organized by Sports Seoul, the SMA is often regarded as one of the “Big 3” Korean music award shows, alongside MAMA and Golden Disc Awards.

Every year, it brings together K-POP’s biggest stars and celebrates their achievements across categories such as:

• Main Awards (Bonsang) – for top-performing artists

• Grand Prize (Daesang) – the most prestigious award of the night

• Rookie of the Year – spotlighting the hottest new acts

• Popularity Award – chosen by global fan votes

• Best OST / Best Performance / Best Ballad – and more!

This isn’t just a trophy show — it’s a mega concert-level experience, featuring high-energy performances, fan-favorite songs, and emotional moments that fans talk about for years. Many fans see it as the true finale of the year in K-POP, where you can witness idols gather, interact, and shine on one stage — often with surprise collaborations and memorable speeches that bring fans to tears.

🌟 Why It’s Special for International Fans

Unlike smaller music shows, the SMA has grand-scale production, full-length stages, and a diverse lineup across generations, making it perfect for both long-time fans and those new to K-POP.

Past performers have included: BTS, SEVENTEEN, Red Velvet, ATEEZ, ITZY, IU, MONSTA X, ENHYPEN, TREASURE, ZEROBASEONE, and more!

It’s also known for its stunning red carpet fashion, where fans can see their favorite artists up-close in glam looks. For K-POP fans visiting Korea, attending the SMA is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that’s both thrilling and emotional — it’s where K-POP’s biggest moments happen live.
