The “Circle Chart Music Awards,” which marked their 12th anniversary this year, are a well-known music awards show based on the unbiased statistics of “CIRCLE CHART,” which collects information from physical album distributors and domestic and international music platforms. It had just undergone a change of name from the “Gaon Chart Music Awards.”
Circle Chart Music Awards:
On this day, Doyoung from NCT and Miyeon from (G)I-DLE served as the two MCs for the awards ceremony. Also present were aespa, ENHYPEN, Kep1er, NMIXX, STAYC, TEMPEST, Choi Yena, BSS from SEVENTEEN, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, and others.
The Rookie of the Year Award, which is given out only once in a person’s life, was given out on this day in the categories of physical albums and digital sound sources. Girl group syndrome, which overtook the music business in 2022, was demonstrated by the fact that girl groups were nominated for every Rookie of the Year award that had previously been announced. NewJeans was named the Rookie of the Year winner in the field of digital music. IVE’s “ELEVEN,” Kep1er’s “WA DA DA,” LE SSERAFIM’s “Fearless,” and NMIXX’s “OO” are featured on NewJeans’ debut single, “Attention.” It was chosen above other deserving candidates to win the title of most popular song on the digital music charts the previous year.
