The American Music Awards, one of the three major music awards in the United States, has newly established the K-Pop Artist Award.



On the 13th, AMA announced that it would introduce a new favorite K-pop artist category while unveiling nominees for each of the 37 categories at the 2022 awards ceremony.



The organizers listed 5 teams as candidates for the K-pop category: Black Pink, BTS, Seventeen, Tomorrow by Together, and Twice.



BTS was also nominated for this category in the 'Favorite Pop Duo/Group'.



This is the first time that the K-Pop category has been created among the three major music awards combined with the Grammy Awards and the Billboard Music Awards.
