Seoul International Film Awards 2025: Complete list of winners

The 13th Seoul International Film Awards brought together notable actors, directors, and other significant industry names at Seoul Dragon City in Yongsan on December 10, 2025.

The 2025 ceremony highlighted films released from August 2024 to November 2025, along with OTT titles from the same period. Seoul International Film Awards began in 2012 as a relatively small event, which was initially titled Star's Night - Korea's Top Star Awards Ceremony.

Celebrities such as Song Ji Hyo, TWICE’s Dahyun, Cha Woo Min, Kim Min Jong, Lee Yu Bi, and others walked the red carpet at the 2025 Seoul International Film Awards. The awards were also hosted by Lee Yu Bi, who is known for The Escape of the Seven, and actor-singer Kim Dong Wan of Shinhwa.

Kim Ji Hoon bagged the Best Acting Award (OTT) for his role in Butterfly. His award acceptance speech at the 2025 Seoul International Film Awards was as follows:

"I sincerely thank you for this meaningful award. I will take it as a sign to create even greater impact and will move forward with a stronger sense of responsibility. Being here tonight is truly an honor and gives me great strength. I will continue to work hard and be a diligent actor."

Butterfly was Kim's first Hollywood-connected project, in which he played Gun. A description of the Seoul International Film Festival on the official FilmFreeway website reads:

"The Seoul International Film Festival / 서울 국제영화제 is a global celebration of films and filmmaking in the heart of Korea. This October, filmmakers & film lovers will gather in one of the world's most dynamic cities to honor the craft."

It continues:

"A selected list of films from the nominated ones will be screened at the cinema in front of a live audience. All films of the Official Selection will receive our laurels. Winners of the festival will be announced during the award ceremony and online on our website and social media following the festival."
