Filipino-international group HORI7ON has been nominated in two categories at the Seoul Music Awards, one of South Korea's most prestigious music ceremonies.

The seven-member group, formed through the survival show "Dream Maker," continues to gain recognition in the competitive K-Pop industry. While the specific nomination categories haven't been detailed, the double nod represents a major milestone for the relatively new act.

HORI7ON debuted in 2023 under MLD Entertainment and has been steadily building their fanbase across Southeast Asia and beyond. The group consists of members Vinci, Kim, Kyler, Reyster, Winston, Jeromy, and Marcus, bringing together Filipino and Korean talents.

The Seoul Music Awards, established in 1990, honors outstanding achievements in Korean popular music and has become one of the "Big 3" award ceremonies alongside the Golden Disc Awards and Melon Music Awards. Recognition at this level signals HORI7ON's growing impact in the industry.

This nomination comes as HORI7ON continues to expand their discography and tour activities. The group has been actively promoting their music across various platforms and engaging with international audiences, particularly in the Philippines where they've maintained strong connections with their fanbase.

The awards ceremony typically features performances from nominated artists and serves as a major platform for both established and rising acts to showcase their talents. For HORI7ON, the nominations provide valuable exposure and validation of their artistic efforts.

As the group continues to develop their sound and presence in the K-Pop scene, this recognition at the Seoul Music Awards could open doors to broader opportunities and collaborations within the industry. The ceremony will likely take place early in the year, following the traditional timeline for Korean music award shows.
