[Special] 2025 KPOPREVIEWED Awards – Nominations + Voting Opens

Welcome to the combined announcement of nominations and voting form post for the 2025 KPOPREVIEWED Awards!

Like previous years, I have put forward the nominees to you, which I will announce today. 2025 was another challenging year to propose 5-6 nominees per category—so many other artists, songs, and performances deserve nominations. It was to the point where I had to expand some categories to 8 nominees! But per usual, there can be only one winner.

Voting has officially begun – Click here to vote!

So, without further ado, I present the nominations for the 2025 KPOPREVIEWED Awards.
