Ahn Yujin Leads the 2025 SBS Music Festival MC Lineup Again

IVE’s Ahn Yujin has officially been confirmed as the 2025 SBS Music Festival MC, marking her fourth consecutive year hosting the year-end event. This announcement follows OSEN’s report on the 17th, revealing that Ahn Yujin, DAY6’s Young K, and NCT DREAM’s Jaemin were selected as the main hosts for the 2025 SBS Music Festival with Bithumb.

Ahn Yujin, who began her Music Festival hosting journey in 2022 alongside NCT’s Doyoung and TXT’s Yeonjun, has become synonymous with the year-end broadcast. With this latest appointment, she sets a new milestone as an MC chosen for the SBS Music Festival a total of six times in a row, solidifying her status as the face of the program. Fans anticipate an even more relaxed, confident, and polished hosting style from her this year.

Due to NCT’s Doyoung entering military service on December 8—just ahead of the event—an MC change became necessary. In response, SBS introduced two new hosts: Young K of DAY6 and Jaemin of NCT DREAM, both stepping in to replace Doyoung and TXT’s Yeonjun.

Young K brings strong credibility to the 2025 SBS Music Festival MC lineup, having proven his skills through past DJ roles on MBC Radio’s Idol Radio Season 1 and KBS Cool FM’s DAY6’s Kiss the Radio. His calm, deep-toned hosting style is expected to blend seamlessly with Ahn Yujin’s experience.

For Jaemin, this marks his first-ever MC role, and anticipation is high. Known for his bright energy and youthful charm, he is expected to showcase a new side of himself—one that fans have yet to see in a major hosting setting.

The dynamic between Ahn Yujin, Young K, and Jaemin is already drawing attention. According to the broadcaster, “The three people, whose musical sensibility, variety skills, and youthful energy harmonize, will complete the Music Festival’s trendy mood and will be responsible for the spectacular finale of K-pop in 2025.”

The 2025 SBS Music Festival, themed “Golden Loop,” boasts a massive lineup, including Stray Kids, TXT, ENHYPEN, IVE, LE SSERAFIM, BOYNEXTDOOR, ZEROBASEONE, RIIZE, NCT WISH, BABYMONSTER, ALLDAY PROJECT, NCT DREAM, THE BOYZ, ATEEZ, ITZY, TREASURE, NMIXX, &TEAM, TWS, ILLIT, Hearts2Hearts, KiiiKiii, and CORTIS.
