Definition
揭晓 (jiē xiǎo) means to announce or reveal something that has been awaited, such as competition results, winners, or a mystery's answer. It differs from 揭示 (jiē shì), which reveals a truth/fact (often abstract), and 披露 (pī lù), which is an official disclosure (e.g., company info). 公开 (gōng kāi) is more general ('make public') and lacks the sense of anticipation.
verb
to announce (results, winners, etc.)to reveal (a mystery, answer)
