MOST UNIQUE CONCEPT
No.1 NEWJEANS
No.2 NMIXX No.3 G-IDLE
My choice I may not know the concepts enough but for me, New Jeans is most unique musically and Nmixx debut certainly pushed the envelope. But its G-idle Tomboy was sooo timely given issues in Korea around feminism and Nxde - the mirroring of lyrics with visuals of members and music video visuals.
BEST VIRAL MOMENT
No.1 TSUKI GINGAMIGAYO
No.2 WONYOUNG (IVE) - Love Dive Dance No.3 KAZUHA (LE SSERAFIM) - Lovey Lovey Dance
Going through all of this has made me realise just how epic this year was. What are you excited for in 2023?
