Korean Music Awards 2022: BTS, aespa, Lang Lee win big – Times of India

On Tuesday, the 19th Korean Music Awards was held to recognise the musical achievements of the Korean Entertainment industry. Putting great importance on singers’ albums and songs, rather than their sales number, the annual music award ceremony holds great importance.

Going by this year’s winner list announcement, girlgroup aespa bagged the maximum number of awards of any artist, which includes three winning titles- ‘Song of the Year’, ‘Rookie of the Year’, and ‘Best K-Pop Song’.

International sensation BTS became the ‘Artist Of The Year’ for the third time. Earlier, the group took home ‘Artist of the Year’ at the Korean Music Awards in 2018 and 2019.

Meanwhile, indie folk singer Lang Lee also made it to the winner list with her critically claimed album ‘There is a Wolf’ as ‘Album Of The Year’.
