The "Korea Musical Awards Grand Prize," given to the best creative premiere performed in Korea in 2025, went to the musical "The Man in Hanbok." The work is based on the setting that he left Joseon for Florence, Italy under false accusations, paying attention to the last act of Jang Young-sil, who is considered the greatest mystery in Joseon history. The narrative was expanded by adding imagination to historical material, and the fantasy atmosphere and immersion of the work were further enhanced through music that combines Korean melodies and Western melodies. It drew favorable reviews from the audience with its original worldview and high-quality stage.

The supporting actress went to Han Bo-ra, who plays Caroline/Rokeboat in the musical Leica, about the first space exploration dog Leica and a young prince who becomes an adult.

The musical "Aladdin" then received the joy of winning the award side by side in the supporting and rookie categories. Jung Won-young, who showed her strong presence as Genie in a work set in the mysterious Agrava Kingdom, won the Supporting Actor Award (Men), and Lee Sung-kyung, who showed an impressive performance even though it was her first musical challenge, won the Rookie Award (Women). In addition, Kang Byung-hoon, who impressed by playing Peter in the musical "Bear the Musical," which honestly depicts the identity, love, and concerns of teenagers, was honored with the Rookie of the Year (Men). Finally, the Ensemble Award, given to the team that determines the perfection of the performance with rich acting and singing, honored the musical Evita.

Ye Joo-yeol won the Producer Award in the creative category, which highlights creators who have been agonizing and choosing countless times for scenes on stage, and the script award went to Oh Kyung-taek of the musical "The Very Fun Gashinadul," and Kim Ha-jin of the musical "The Very Fun Gashinadul." In addition, Lee Sun-young of the musical "Leica" and Lee Sung-joon of the musical "The Man in Hanbok" enjoyed the composition award and the arrangement and music director award, respectively.
