K-pop and creators are spotlighted at TikTok Awards Korea in October. Which stars will win big?
The TikTok awards are returning this October, to celebrate and award Koreas top artists and content creators. The event is scheduled to take place on October 25th at Korea University's Hwajeong Gymnasium in Seoul.
The event this year has increased the number of categories on offer for creators and idols to participate in, with the addition of "Creator of the Year" and "Video of the Year". In addition, the new awards will include "Rising Creator of the Year" and "Social Impact Creator of the Year." So there are many more opportunities to win big on the night!
The awards will also spotlight K-pop artists with categories like "Artist of the Year" and "Song of the Year." New sections will also be introduced for entertainment, sports, and live music. The question that the Dojeon team is wondering, is who will present them and who will perform there? How many winners will be selected from each round, and what will the gifts be in the gift packages for the stars of the night?
How can fans vote?
Fans can vote for their their favorite stars and creators by pre-voting within the TikTok app itself. This year, the winners will be determined by keeping the voting in house, which for TikTok is a smart move, and it will keep the TikTok community spending even more time within the app.
What can fans look forward to?
First off, what event would be complete without a red carpet? This is something that the TikTok Awards pride themselves on, along with their all-out presentation and house style that is showcased to the public.
This year, the awards will also feature a celebratory livestream of the awards performances, which will show off K-pop artists who, for the first time, are expected to take to the stage alongside TikTok creators, to deliver a mix of short-form content and live shows. The event will be broadcast live on TikTok Korea's official accounts.
Why are the TikTok awards important?
K-pop is a massive contributor to the content that is uploaded and produced on TikTok these days, and with artists and entertainment companies using the platform to help promote music and engage fans, the awards ceremony helps to formalise and engage with an ever-growing fan base.
By holding these awards annually, TikTok helps to embrace the K-pop ecosystem and community by making it easy for producers and artists to connect by spending a vast amount of time on the app. Viral TikTok trends have been instrumental in the success of songs like Fifty Fifty's "Cupid" and We Are The Night's "Tiramisu Cake," and the awards recognize this direct impact.
The 2024 TikTok Award winners
2024 saw the inaugural TikTok Awards in Korea, and they honored a mix of creators and K-pop stars, such as aespa, who won Artist of the Year.
Other artists such as ILLIT took home Best Viral Song for "Magnetic." Other notable K-pop winners included FIFTY FIFTY, Kep1er, UNIS, and 8TURN. The awards also recognized top creators like Jeon Unni (Creator of the Year) and Young Jik Nam (Video of the Year), highlighting the platform's growing influence on both the music industry and the creator economy.
