‘35th Seoul Music Awards’, Final Lineup Revealed: Psychers, Jebeone, Izuna, Hatuha, and Identity

Psykers will be attending the Seoul Music Awards. Psykers took their first steps into the music industry in 2023 with their first mini-album, 'HOUSE OF TRICKY: Doorbell Ringing'. After entering the 'Billboard 200' just 12 days after their debut, they garnered attention from global fans by ranking first on major charts such as 'Emerging Artists' and 'Artist 100'. Since then, they have grown rapidly based on their unique worldview and performances.

 

Psychers released the mini-album 'ROUTE ZERO : The ORA' last May, marking the opening of a new series approximately three years after their debut. Immediately after its release, they topped the Circle Chart's real-time and daily retail album charts, and the music video for the title track 'OKay' surpassed 10 million views in less than a week, proving their immense popularity. Furthermore, having left a strong impression with mega-crew-level performances during this activity, expectations are high for the stage they will showcase at the 'Seoul Music Awards'.

Zero Base One, heralding a new beginning, will grace the 'Seoul Music Awards'. Zero Base One made a strong impression on the K-pop market immediately upon their debut in 2023 with their album 'Youth in the Shade', becoming the first K-pop group in history to achieve double million-seller status for a debut album. Since then, they have consistently received love from global music fans by achieving significant results on domestic and international charts with every album they have released.

 

In particular, Zero Base One opened the door to a new chapter last month with the release of their sixth mini-album, 'Ascend-'. Showcasing the essence of sophisticated minimalism through their title track 'TOP 5', they exuded a unique charm with refined maturity and deepened expressiveness. With this album, they ranked high on major domestic and international charts, including No. 1 on the Circle Chart Weekly Download Chart, No. 1 on the Oricon Chart Weekly Western Album Ranking, No. 1 on Japan's iTunes Top Song K-POP, No. 1 on Japan's Spotify Rising Chart, and No. 1 on China's QQ Music Digital Album/Mini-Album Chart. They also proved their strength by taking home No. 1 trophies on music shows.

Izna is joining the 'Seoul Music Awards'. Izna is a global girl group formed through the Mnet idol audition program 'I-LAND2 : N/a'. Since their official debut in 2024, they have demonstrated limitless concept execution capabilities—ranging from dreamy sensibilities and refreshing energy to powerful performances—through activities such as 'Izna', 'SIGN', and 'Mamma Mia', establishing their presence as 'Global Super Rookies'.

 

Ahead of the Seoul Music Awards, they are returning on the 8th with their third mini-album, 'SET THE TEMPO'. The album conveys a message of creating a new flow at their own pace, rather than following standards set by others. In particular, they are garnering anticipation by foreshadowing an even more intense 'power dreamy' performance through the title track, 'METRONOME'.

Hearts to Hearts, who won the 'Rookie Award' at last year's 'Seoul Music Awards,' are joining again this time. Hearts to Hearts debuted in the music industry in February 2025 with the single 'The Chase.' As SM Entertainment's new girl group, they garnered attention even before their debut and received intense interest, such as surpassing 400,000 first-week sales with 'The Chase' and becoming the first K-pop girl group to debut in 2025 to record 100 million streams on Spotify.

 

In particular, Hearts to Hearts caused a sensation with their single "RUDE!", released last February, which captured a bold and lively charm. "RUDE!" not only achieved five wins on music shows and topped various global charts, but its music video also surpassed 100 million views. Furthermore, it proved its overwhelming popularity by becoming the first K-pop girl group song released this year to reach 100 million cumulative streams on Spotify. With the release of their second mini-album "Lemon Tang" scheduled for the 22nd, anticipation for Hearts to Hearts is rising day by day.

IDNTT will take the stage at the 'Seoul Music Awards' for the first time. IDNTT is a 24-member boy group under Mod House, featuring Mod House's fresh and unique worldview that expands from the unit 'Unevermet' to 'Yesweare' and finally to the full 24-member group 'Itsnotover'. Having debuted last August, IDNTT achieved a significant milestone by recording first-week sales of approximately 336,000 copies with their album 'Unevermet,' which shares the same name as the unit, ranking 6th in all-time first-week sales for boy group debut albums.

 

Subsequently, last January, Identity's second unit, Yeswea, released an album titled 'Yeswea' that shares the same name as the unit, proving their popularity by recording initial sales of 431,377 copies. In particular, they demonstrated the stature of a 'mega boy band' by achieving first place on KBS2's 'Music Bank' with the title track 'Pretty Boy Swag'. Furthermore, they are proving their influence by being named 'K-Pop Rookie of the Month' by Billboard Korea.

 

The 'Seoul Music Awards' has finalized its artist lineup with Psychers, Zero Base One, Izuna, Hearts to Hearts, and Identity. Having previously raised anticipation for the main ceremony by successively revealing the lineup of MCs and presenters, only the announcement of the final presenter lineup remains.
