The 61st Baeksang Arts Awards (Korean제61회 백상예술대상) ceremony was held at COEX, Seoul on May 5, 2025, at 20:00 (KST). It will be broadcast live simultaneously in South Korea on JTBC, JTBC2, JTBC4, Naver TV, CHZZK, and internationally on Prizm.[2][3]

It is one of South Korea's most prestigious award shows, recognizing excellence in film, television, and theatre, through strict screening conducted by 60 professional evaluators, judges in the industry, and a group of experts. This year, the existing television category has been renamed to "Broadcasting" to reflect evolving content consumption trends. This change aligns with the shift from traditional cable or terrestrial television channels to a broader range of platforms, including websites and mobile streaming services.[4]

The nominees were announced on April 7, 2025, via its official website. All works released from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025, were eligible for nominations.[5][6]
