'SBS Gayo Daejeon' Sets Christmas Day Return
SBS Music AwardsSouth Korea’s flagship K-pop spectacle, "SBS Gayo Daejeon", will once again take over Christmas Day, officially set for Dec. 25.

Known for blockbuster lineups and special stages, last year’s show gathered the nation’s top idols, with G-DRAGON and a full 2NE1 reunion igniting the night. The broadcast hit a 5.1% peak TV rating and aired live in more than 160 countries, drawing a passionate global response.

The buzz spilled across platforms: it reached No. 1 on X’s real-time trends, the YouTube red carpet livestream topped 100,000 peak concurrent viewers, and highlight clips surpassed 1 million views―underscoring serious cross-platform heat.

Landing squarely in the holiday window again, the 2025 "SBS Gayo Daejeon" promises a standout lineup and exclusive performances you won’t see anywhere else, aiming to send K-pop’s 2025 out with a bang.

The 2025 "SBS Gayo Daejeon" will take place Dec. 25 at Inspire Arena, marking its third straight year at the venue.
