Spoonlabs Hosts 2025 Spoon Awards, Names 107 Winners

Global audio live platform Spoon successfully hosted '2025 Spoon Awards', a grand festival for creators who captivated users with innovative content over the past year. Spoon, operated by Spoon Labs, comprehensively analyzed activity indicators from January to December 2025 at this 5th annual awards ceremony, bestowing honors upon a total of 107 creators. In the most anticipated 'TOP DJ of the Year' category, 'Kim Bbaang-bbaang' took first place with overwhelming performance across all metrics, including likes, broadcast time, listener count, and voting scores, followed by 'Rising Star' and 'Meredith' who impressively secured 2nd and 3rd place, respectively. The main driver of Spoon's growth in 2025 was undoubtedly the new content format called 'Voice Blind Date'. This unique content, conducted in a multi-party call format, gained explosive popularity among users and rapidly emerged as Spoon's signature killer content. Its influence was recognized beyond the platform, even externally, with the YouTube channel 'MOKSORI' utilizing 'Voice Blind Date' and related offline events achieving the feat of simultaneously winning the Excellence Award in the SNS Marketing category and the Silver Award in the Promotion category at the '2025 Korea Digital Advertising Awards'. Choi Hyuk-jae, CEO of Spoon Labs, stated, "The Spoon Awards is a truly meaningful event that celebrates the continuous efforts and creative growth of our creators," and promised, "We will continue to fully support creators in creating even more brilliant content by maximizing the emotional immersion and imagination unique to the audio medium." With Spoon surpassing 30 million cumulative downloads in global markets beyond Korea, including Japan and Taiwan, and opening new horizons for audio social platforms, its future is highly anticipated.
