The center of the K-drama universe shifted to Seoul's Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) last night. On December 29, 2025, the 2025 APAN Star Awards celebrated the finest achievements in television and streaming. According to Soompi, this unique ceremony remains South Korea’s only integrated drama awards, bridging the gap between traditional networks and global streaming platforms.
The Significance of the 2025 APAN Star Awards Winners
Unlike traditional awards tied to a single network, the APAN Star Awards honors content from all sources, including public broadcast, cable, OTT, and web dramas. This inclusive approach makes the 2025 edition particularly prestigious, as it reflects the true competitive landscape of the modern era where Netflix and Disney+ titles compete directly with KBS and SBS series.
While the full list of recipients covers diverse categories, the evening was reportedly filled with moments that highlighted the global growth of K-content. Industry experts noted that the winners of this year's ceremony represent the peak of creative storytelling that has transcended national borders over the past 12 months.
