[Special] 2024 KPOPREVIEWED Awards – Announcement of Winners

Thank you for your patience! It just took slightly longer to get everything in order this year. Also, this post is super long – spanning three pages. It may take a little longer to load/view.

Welcome to the announcement of WINNERS post for the 2024 KPOPREVIEWED Awards!

Late last year, I put forward nominees for the 2024 KPOPREVIEWED Awards to you. After a fan-voting period that lasted a month and a half and another month to tally up the votes, I will finally announce the winners for each category today. Keep reading to find out if your favourites emerged as winners!

Based on how close many categories were in the end, it was definitely a close competition and a tough decision for you all. Yup, this is a reminder that the readers (i.e., you) got the chance to vote for the winner for most categories. Two categories (Best Overall Artist and Best Overall Song of 2024) were decided by 50% fan votes and the other 50% by my Weekly KPOP Charts.

Under each category that you voted in, there will also be a:

• Honourable Mention – the runner up in the category (determined by your votes),
• KPOPREVIEWED Choice – my personal choice if I had voted in the awards, and
• a list of the nominees in the category, with the winner in red text.

So, without further ado, I present the winners of the 2024 KPOPREVIEWED Awards.

There are many categories to cover, so I have split them over three pages under this post. You can find links to the pages at the top or bottom of each page or navigate to them via the numbers at the bottom of the page.
