[Special] 2025 KPOPREVIEWED Awards – Coming Soon

With the end of 2025 fast approaching, it is time we celebrate the year that has just passed. And what better way to do that than by the 2025 KPOPREVIEWED Awards! Welcome to the annual event, where you (yes, YOU!) get to choose who were the best of the best in the year that has just passed.

What does the 2025 KPOPREVIEWED Awards entail?

Per usual, I have done the hard and challenging job of selecting the nominees for the 2025 KPOPREVIEWED Awards. In 5 days, the nominees will be announced and the voting form will open. Your votes (and your votes only) will determine who is the best of 2025 in the following categories:

Per usual, Best Song and Artist of 2025 award winners will be decided based on fan nominations (you will be able to pick up to 3 songs and 3 artists each when voting opens) and my Weekly KPOP Charts. Both will be weighted equally (50% each). Your nominations will also help determine the Most Popular Song and Artist of 2025 awards. More details regarding voting will be published when voting opens!

Make sure to follow me on Twitter (I know it is called X, but I still call it Twitter), Facebook and Bluesky (this is a new one for me!) for updates and reminders to vote.

When will it all occur?
