Super Junior’s charismatic leader Leeteuk is set to bring his signature wit and warmth back to the stage as the official host of the 35th Seoul Music Awards.
Organizers made the announcement on May 6, confirming the popular idol will emcee the prestigious ceremony on June 20 at the cutting-edge Inspire Arena in Incheon. This marks Leeteuk’s return to the role since he hosted the 24th edition back in 2015, a move that has already sparked excitement among longtime fans, known as ELFs, and K-pop enthusiasts.

At 42, Leeteuk remains one of the industry’s most respected veterans, praised for his smooth hosting abilities across music shows, variety programs, and major award ceremonies. His deep connection to the K-pop scene and natural ability to engage both artists and audiences promise to deliver heartfelt moments and seamless energy throughout the night.
The timing adds even more anticipation. Leeteuk is currently preparing for the debut of Super Junior’s new subunit, SUPER JUNIOR-83z, alongside bandmate Heechul. With voting for the awards well underway and the first performer lineup expected to drop soon, this year’s event is shaping up to be a memorable celebration of K-pop’s continued global impact.
Fans are already marking their calendars, hoping Leeteuk’s return will make the 35th Seoul Music Awards one of the most engaging and emotional nights of the year.
