The 2022 Genie Music Awards took place on November 8, 2022, at the Namdong Gymnasium in Incheon, South Korea. Organized by Genie Music, the event returned after a one-year hiatus and was the first offline edition since 2019. Artists who released music between October 1, 2021, and October 5, 2022, were eligible for nominations.
Following the Itaewon stampede incident, the organizers canceled the red carpet and live broadcast as a mark of respect. Instead, the event was pre-recorded and later made available on VOD platforms on November 18, 2022.
