Daftar Nominasi Korean Music Awards 2025, aespa Memimpin

Korean Music Awards merupakan salah satu ajang penghargaan musik tahunan bergengsi Korea Selatan. Namun cukup berbeda dengan penghargaan musik Korea Selatan pada umumnya, Korean Music Awards memiliki kriteria sendiri dalam menentukan pemenang.

Alih-alih menggunakan angka penjualan, Korean Music Awards justru berfokus pada pencapaian musikal, serta lebih mementingkan album dan lagu itu sendiri sebagai kriteria utama.

Melansir Soompi, Senin (10/2/2025), Korean Music Awards akan disiarkan langsung pada Kamis (27/2/2025) pukul 20.00 KST.

aespa menjadi musisi yang paling bersinar di Korean Music Awards 2025. Bagaimana tidak? Grup di bawah asuhan SM Entertainment tersebut sukses menembus lima kategori sekaligus, lho.

Kelima kategori tersebut adalah Song of the Year, Album of the Year, Artist of the Year, Best K-Pop Album, dan Best K-Pop Song. Gokil!
