Dua hari lalu, penghargaan Korean Music Awards telah mengumumkan nama-nama nominasinya. Beberapa grup seperti BTS, aespa, TXT, dan IU terdapat dalam beberapa kategorinya.
Rencananya, ajang ini akan terlaksana pada 1 Maret waktu Korea Selatan mendatang. Tahun ini merupakan edisi ke-19 dari Ajang Korean Music Awards yang pertama kali hadir pada tahun 2004.
Beda Dengan Ajang Penghargaan Kpop Lainnya
Sebagai ajang penghargaan yang bisa dikatakan termuda, sebetulnya Korean Music Awards bukanlah ajang perang voting layaknya Mnet Asian Music Awards. Korean Music Awards juga bukan merupakan ajang besarnya angka penjualan menjadi pengaruh seorang musisi Korea bisa memenangkannya.
Penghargaan ini memiliki penilaian yang murni menurut para juri dan kritikus. Mungkin di ajang penghargaan Internasional, Korean Music Awards sering dikatakan sebagai Grammy Awards nya Korea.
