It seems like the pre-award season is in session and award shows are finally waking up and recognizing K-Pop’s significance.
This morning, the year’s American Music Awards nominations introduced a new category. And, of course, it’s Favorite K-Pop Artist.
Quite similar to MTV EMAs’ Best K-pop nominees this year, the AMAs have K-pop power players like BLACKPINK, BTS, SEVENTEEN, TXT, and TWICE go up against each other for the award.
