From solo artists to rookie groups: All K-pop artists who are nominated for the 2023 MTV Europe Music Awards
The 2023 MTA Europe Music Awards is the latest edition of the award ceremony organized by Paramount International Networks since 1994.
The award show was created with the intention of honoring artists across the globe who have showcased prominence and gained public interest through their releases in the past year.
With its specific focus on recognizing the diversity and multiplicity of music genres, it opens up its platform for a huge spectrum of artists.
MTV’s Europe Music Awards is also often considered an alternative to MTV’s Video Music Award, which is held annually in the United States. The former, however, often changes its location, though it is primarily held in the United Kingdom.
The 2023 MTV Europe Awards will be held in Paris, France, marking the first time the event has been presented in the location since 1995.
Among the several artists who will gather on the night of November 5 to not only bag their well-deserved awards but also roll out a special performance, here are all the K-pop artists who were nominated for the 2023 MTV Europe Music Awards ceremony:

While this marks Jung Kook’s first nomination on MTV EMAs as a solo artist right after his debut, it’s also a remarkable achievement for NewJeans, the rookie group that debuted not over a year ago.
