The ones to watch are the Best New Artist and Best Group.

Voting is mandatory for all categories. However, most of the votes are based on personal relationships, so the above six categories will be fiercely competitive.

I can't predict who will win the Best New Artist (1). I may have seen them on YouTube, but I don't know who they are.

I think the Best New Artist (2) is surprisingly close.

But BLACKPINK is probably the winner.

I.O.I is their rival, and WJSN is the dark horse.

Bolbbalgan4 is Bob Dylan's Nobel Prize in Literature, so I have a feeling that this kind of message song will become more popular in the future.

The nominations are timely, but I don't think they have the momentum to take the award.

Is it a one-on-one battle between EXO and BTS for the Best New Group (3)? BTS, who are likely to attract a wide fan base, seem to have a lead.

(4) Best Female Group is almost certain to be TWICE, and there are no rivals.

If I had to pick one, I would say how close GFRIEND can get.

Although their fan base does not seem to be global, they seem to have secured a passionate fan base in Asia.

As for the other three groups, it seems that Red Velvet will lose fans to TWICE, and MAMAMOO and Wonder Girls give the strong impression of only appearing this year.

It's a bit weak that we don't know how well they will do next year?

As for (5) Best Male Singer, I have only listened to ZICO and PSY's music. So I'll pass.

I'm not sure about (6) Best Female Singer.

I feel that Ailee has joined the ranks of veterans.

I'm not as inspired by her songs anymore.

I wonder what kind of song will inspire me and get my ears pumping again...I feel like punch alone is no longer enough.

The remaining four each have attractive and powerful singing voices.

It will probably depend on how Taeyeon's new song "11:11" turns out.

In any case, it looks like it will be a close race.

I like Eunji's singing voice, but her rivals are strong so it's hard to say whether she will win.
