The 20th Seoul International Drama Awards (SDA) wrapped up in style on October 2, 2025, celebrating two decades of honoring the best in global television drama. Held at KBS Hall in Yeouido, this year’s ceremony once again proved why the SDA has become one of the most respected platforms for international storytelling.

With 276 entries from 50 countries, the competition was tougher than ever. The jury honored seven outstanding works and 16 individuals across three major categories: International Competition, K-Drama Competition, and International Invitation.

The biggest winners of the night were Ben Stiller’s “Severance Season 2” (Apple TV+, USA), which took home the Golden Bird Prize, and the British Netflix drama “Adolescence”, which was awarded the Grand Prize.

Other SDA 2025 winners included IU, Ju Ji Hoon, When Life Gives You Tangerines, The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call, Jisoo, and more.

The event was hosted by comedian Jang Do Yeon and actor-singer Ok Taecyeon, who kept the atmosphere lively and engaging. Performances from ILLIT, Urban Zakapa, and legendary vocalist Jang Sa Ik made it as much a celebration as an award show.

For those who missed it live, the full ceremony will be broadcast on SBS TV on October 3rd.
