2024 Blue Dragon Series Awards: Where to watch, nominees, presenter lineup and more deets (2024)

The Blue Dragon Series Awards are returning its third annual ceremony on Friday, July 19, 2024, at 8:30 pm KST. To be hosted by the dependable team of TV personality Jun Hyun Moo and beloved actress and singer Im Yoon Ah, the prestigious South Korean awards night organised by Sports Chosun will be held at Paradise City in Incheon.

Offering easy broadcast access to domestic viewers via the South Korean TV network KBS2, the live ceremony is expected to first make way for a starry Red Carpet event. The show is also expected to live-stream for international fans on the network's official YouTube channels: KBS Kpop and KBS Entertain.

After beckoning the arrival of a star-studded roster of attendees, the event will honour “excellence in OTT television” to series released from June 1, 2023, to May 31, 2024. Nominations were also announced accordingly months ago.

Inaugurated in 2022, the yearly awards series will be hosted by the same MCs duo for the third year in a row. Beyond the main hosts of the night, several other prominent Korean celebrities gracing the evening will also step forward to present awards across various categories.

Previous reports also suggested that We Dem Boyz, (G)I-DLE and Jay Park will be taking to the stage as the evening’s performers.

As far as nominations go, Disney Plus’ smashing hit series Moving earned the highest number of nods at seven, while SNL Korean Season 5 came in next with five nominations. Netflix productions dominated the nominees list.
