The Gaon Chart Music Awards has announced the MCs for its upcoming ceremony!

On December 28, it was revealed that Super Junior’s Leeteuk and ITZY’s Lia will host the Gaon Chart Music Awards, which will be broadcast on January 13. This marks the second year in a row for both artists to act as MCs for the ceremony.

The Korea Music Content Association also announced that there will be no performances during the ceremony as a preventative measure amid the worsening situation of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, only a small number of people including the MCs will be present in the studio at the time of filming, and acceptance speeches will be given in a contact-free manner.

A representative stated, “No matter how many preventative measures are put in place at an offline awards ceremony, it’s impossible to prevent the spread 100 percent. The K-pop industry could be put under threat by cluster infections and the continuous spread of the virus.”

The Gaon Chart Music Awards plans to provide various other content to take the place of the performances. Additionally, the lineup of attendees will not be announced due to the contact-free nature of the ceremony.
