ATEEZ, Stray Kids, ENHYPEN and G-Dragon won the grand prizes (“daesang”) at the Hanteo Music Awards 2025 held on Feb. 15 at the KSPO Dome in Seoul. 

The ceremony, with emcees Tiffany Young and Lee Chan-won, honored music released between Jan. 1 to Dec. 31 last year. 

In the grand prize category, ATEEZ took home the Best Artist award while Stray Kids won Best Album, ENHYPEN bagged Best Performance and G-Dragon won Best Song. 

"We're grateful to the Hanteo Chart staff for giving us such a great award, following last year's. We wouldn't have been able to achieve this without the KQ Entertainment family and staff who supported our comeback promotions, and most importantly, ATINY (fans),” said ATEEZ. 

ATEEZ added, "We've successfully completed our first promotions after our seven-year contract renewal. No matter how long it takes, we will achieve our goals with ATINY. In 2026, we will work even harder to match the love we've received.” 

People behind the awards ceremony explained their selection, saying, "ATEEZ has rallied their global fandom by topping major charts both domestically and globally with their unique worldview and explosive live performances,” Korean media reported. They have achieved six million-selling albums.
