ONE Asia Creative Awards welcomes judges to Seoul for its fifth edition

The One Club for Creativity’s ONE Asia Creative Awards officially kicked off judging last night with an unforgettable welcome dinner at Itaewon Silby Disco, ahead of the final sessions taking place at the Shilla Hotel.

The welcome dinner at Itaewon Silby Disco brought this fusion to life. Led by a Michelin-trained chef, the restaurant reinterprets Korean traditions through a modern lens — from fresh seafood and sizzling street eats to the nostalgic charm of an old Seoul pub.

As the judging begins today at The Shilla Hotel, a symbol of Korean elegance and modern luxury, jurors from 15 countries gather to evaluate Asia-Pacific’s finest creative work.

This year’s judging marks a special milestone: the first time ONE Asia lands in Seoul, powered by its main sponsor, Black Cat White Cat Music. Known for their experimental soundscapes and cross-cultural collaborations, Black Cat White Cat embodies the same creative spirit that drives ONE Asia.

Now in its fifth year, the ONE Asia Creative Awards continues its tradition of rotating judging locations — from Shanghai to Manila, and now Seoul — to connect with local talent, immerse in culture, and leave a lasting creative impact.
