DREAMERS.ID - Satu lagi ajang penghargaan musik bergengsi di Korea Selatan yang akan dihelat pada bulan Februari ini. Korean Music Awards baru saja mengumumkan lagu, album, artis yang berhasil masuk dalam berbagai kategori yang telah ditentukan.
Korean Music Awards merupakan acara penghargaan tahunan di Korea yang telah berlangsung sejak 2004 untuk mengapresiasi dan mengakui prestasi yang diraih para artis di bidang musik dalam satu tahun terakhir, yang lebih pada pencapaian dibandingkan penjualan.
Ajang penghargaan ini bertujuan untuk melampaui batasan antara musik mainstream dan non-mainstream. Pemenangnya secara penuh diputuskan oleh panelis juri seperti kritikus musik, PD radio musik, dan para profesional lainnya di industri ini.
Para pemenang akan diberikan penghargaan dalam Korean Music Awards 2018 yang digelar pada 28 Februari mendatang dan disiarkan langsung melalui saluran EBS. Dalam konferensi pers yang digelar 6 Februari, mereka pun mengumumkan deretan nominatornya.
