BTS Official Twitter

The prestigious 17th Korean Music Awards (KMA) is back! For those who did not already know, many refer KMA as the Korean version of Grammys because of how the winners are chosen through a panel of critics and music industry professionals.

As compared to other music award ceremonies, KMA focuses more on the music in both the main and non-mainstream community instead of albums sales.

On Jan. 22, the nominees for various categories were announced and Kpopmap had brought in the 4 main categories! To check out the nominees under other categories, you can take a look at the main website here.
