The nominees for the ‘10th Annual Korean Music Awards‘ have been announced! However, unlike many other music award shows in Korea, the KMA’s do not consider the terms of sales, instead, a panel of music critics and experts chooses the winners.
What is notable is that Psy is nominated in 4 different categories with his hit song ‘Gangnam Style,’ Busker Busker for 6 categories, and G-Dragon as a soloist received 3 nominations. Other facts to be noted are that f(x) had two songs in the ‘best dance & electronic song’ category with ‘Jet‘ and ‘Electric Shock.’
The ’10th Annual Korean Music Awards’ is going to be held on February 28th at Seoul’s UNIQLO AX Hall, and check out the list below!
