K-pop representative producer Teddy received the prime minister's citation.
On the 10th at COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, at the '2025 Korea Content Awards' (hereinafter 'Content Awards') ceremony, producer Teddy (TEDDY) received the prime minister's citation in the overseas advancement institutional sector.
'Content Awards' is hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and organized by Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) and is an award given to those who produced outstanding content over the year and led the development of the domestic content industry by promoting content exports and other activities.
Producer Teddy was recognized for his contributions to content exports, the spread of Hallyu, and international cultural exchange, and received the overseas advancement institutional sector award. Teddy, who established himself as a representative K-pop producer by composing many songs for Big Bang, 2NE1 and Blackpink, later founded The Black Label and has recruited and discovered several artists with distinctive individuality.
In particular, with the debut of The Black Label's first girl group MEOVV (Miyao) and the mega rookie ALLDAY PROJECT that struck in 2025, he further solidified musical colors and opened the gate for K-pop's fifth generation. In addition, he composed multiple main OSTs for the Netflix animated film 'K-pop Demon Hunters,' which thrilled the world, raising the status of K-content beyond K-pop.
Recognizing Teddy's influence leading the globalization of K-pop through new music and content production, he was awarded the prime minister's citation at the 'Content Awards,' and a representative of The Black Label said, "The great global interest in K-culture is the entertainment industry's joy and happiness, and thanks to those who recognize and encourage that value, better content can be created. The Black Label will also work for the development of K-content."
