IVE Wins “Best Music 10” at 2025 KGMA, Claiming Second Award After Global Star Prize

The group IVE received the “Best Music 10” award at the “2025 Korea Grand Music Awards with iMbank” (2025 KGMA). They were announced as winners in this category during the “Music Day” of the second day of the event, held on the 15th at Inspire Arena in Unseo-dong, Jung-gu, Incheon. This win brings IVE’s total awards to two, following their pre-announced victory in the “Best Global K-Pop Star” category. After accepting the award, IVE expressed their gratitude. They said, “We are thankful to KGMA for giving us such a meaningful award. Since we won the Best Music award, we will deliver great albums and music. We are also working hard on preparing concerts. Please give us lots of love and high expectations.” IVE did not forget to thank their agency, Starship, and their fandom. They said, “We want to express our thanks to everyone at Starship who has helped us create good songs. Above all, we are grateful to DIVE, our fandom.” The “KGMA,” now in its second edition this year, was first introduced last year by Ilgan Sports to celebrate its 55th anniversary. This event highlights K-Pop artists and their works that have received widespread affection from fans both domestically and internationally over the course of a year, and it has established itself as a representative K-Pop festival in South Korea through its unique stages. The award ceremony was hosted by Ilgan Sports (Idaily M), co-organized by the KGMA Organizing Committee, Creating, and DIOD, with support from the Incheon Metropolitan City and the Incheon Tourism Corporation.
