Originally set to take place on November 28, 2020, at the Grand Peace Hall in Kyung Hee University and be broadcast exclusively on online platforms Olleh TV and Seezn,[3] the inaugural ceremony was indefinitely postponed on November 18, 2020, after the Level 1.5 social distancing rules went into effect amid a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic in Seoul and surrounding metropolitan areas.[4] Winners in limited categories were revealed online instead.

On December 17, 2020, the ceremony's rescheduled date was announced as January 23, 2021.[5] On January 15, this was replaced officially to January 24.[6]
