BTS’s Jimin and NewJeans earn four nominations at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards, with K-pop categories expanded
According to the list of nominees announced by Billboard on October 26th (local time), Jimin is nominated in the following categories at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards: Top Selling Song, Top Global K-pop Artist, Top K-pop Album, and Top Global K-pop Song.
NewJeans is nominated in the categories of Top Billboard Global Artist (excluding the United States), Top Global K-pop Artist, and Top K-pop Album. In the Top Global K-pop Song category, both “Ditto” and “OMG” are nominated.
TWICE received nominations in three categories, while Stray Kids and Tomorrow X Together (TXT) received nominations in two categories.
Despite their hiatus due to contract issues, FIFTY FIFTY is nominated in the categories of Top Duo/Group and Top Global K-pop Song.
BLACKPINK and BTS’s Suga and Jungkook are each nominated in one category.
The Billboard Music Awards are considered one of the top three music awards ceremonies in the United States, along with the American Music Awards and the Grammy Awards.
This year, unlike last year, four K-pop categories have been added, and most Korean artists are included in these categories. Jimin, NewJeans, and FIFTY FIFTY are the only ones nominated in non-K-pop categories.
Last year at the Billboard Music Awards, BTS won in three categories, including Top Duo/Group, Top Song Sales Artist, and Top Selling Song.
The Billboard Music Awards will be broadcast live via Billboard’s official social media channels on November 19th.
