TikTok Awards Korea has officially launched public voting for its 2025 ceremony, giving fans the power to choose standout digital creators of the year. This announcement signals the platform’s continued focus on community-driven recognition and global influence through content creation. Now in its second year, the awards honor TikTok creators. The event will be held on October 25 in Seoul.
Moreover, this year, the awards have expanded their reach with broader industry support. The Korean Music Copyright Association (KOMCA) now sponsors the event, boosting TikTok’s role in music and creator partnerships. Additionally, The Korea Herald will present the “Social Impact Artist of the Year” award, highlighting TikTok’s growing relevance in social and cultural sectors.
Fan voting will continue through midnight on October 15. Supporters can vote once per category daily via the voting page linked on TikTok Korea’s official account. Importantly, final results will combine fan votes with data such as content views, upload activity, follower growth, and collaboration metrics. Furthermore, daily participants increase their chances of winning ceremony invitations through the event’s prize draw.
The TikTok Awards Korea 2025 voting includes eight categories. These categories include Creator, Video, Ambassador, Lifestyle, Rising Creator, plus new awards for Entertainment, Sports, and Food. These additions aim to spotlight a broader range of creative talent and engage wider fan communities.
While fan voting decides key awards, organizers select others—like Social Impact Creator and Entertainment of the Year—through internal evaluations. These choices reflect the platform’s commitment to recognizing creators beyond metrics, including influence and innovation.
Notably, last year’s winners Jeon Unni and Youngjjiknam will return as award presenters, reinforcing continuity within the creator community. In addition, the ceremony will feature live performances from rising K-pop acts such as QWER, Meovv, KiiiKiii, Cortis, and Close Your Eyes. Organizers will reveal the full lineup closer to the event date.
The event will air on MBC every1, MBC M, TikTok Live, and TikTok Korea’s account for wide global viewing. Overall, TikTok Awards Korea 2025 highlights the platform’s growing impact on entertainment, emerging talent, and global fan engagement. Ultimately, the fan-centric voting model shows how digital culture builds influence from the ground up and shares it worldwide instantly.
