The Hanteo Music Awards, presented by the 33-year-old Hanteo Chart, sold out all available seats in just three minutes.
Ticket sales for Hanteo Music Awards 2025 (HMA 2025), which opened on the afternoon of the 27th, saw a surge in traffic as soon as reservations began, and all prepared seats were gone in about three minutes.
Top idol groups with massive global K-pop fandoms, artists from various genres, and powerhouse trot stars are all set to gather in one place, clearly demonstrating the intense fan response to HMA 2025.
The first lineup, revealed earlier, effectively signaled a true "festival." Leading K-pop acts such as Ateez, Artms, and Hearts2Hearts, along with skilled artists including Hwang Karam, Cho Kyu-hyun, and LUCY, as well as trending trot stars Lee Chan-won, Kim Hee-jae, Park Ji Hyeon, and Son Tae-jin, were announced, making an early sellout all but certain.
HMA 2025 will kick off in spectacular fashion at 6 p.m. on February 15 at KSPO Dome in Olympic Park in Songpa District, Seoul.
\r\nThe organizers said, "As the event falls on the day that marks the start of the Lunar New Year holiday, audiences can look forward to a special stage that the whole family can enjoy together," adding, "We will deliver a moving experience where music unites people across genres and generations."
HMA 2025 is currently selecting the leading K-pop acts that were loved throughout 2025 through global fan voting in each category. Fans can participate directly in the voting via various platforms, including Whosfan, Mubeat, and Fancast.
HMA 2025 is hosted by Hanteo Global, the operator of Hanteo Chart, the world’s only real-time music chart.
