"One thing I'm sure of is that Seoul Music Awards will either award NCT or aespa."

"NewJeans will do an all-kill in this. Nobody can refute this. This year was NewJeans' year."

"If NewJeans doesn't win, it's rigged."

"They wrote something along the lines of EXO's album breaking records on Ktown4u."

"Song of the Year is for sure for NewJeans the impact they had was crazy."

"Song of the Year: 'Ditto' by NewJeans, Album of the Year: SEVENTEEN, Artist of the Year: Probably SEVENTEEN again or NewJeans."

"'I've IVE' is actually competitive on the digital side. Physical awards will be received by boy groups. SEVENTEEN just sold 5 million albums. If it's a combination of physical and digital, GGs are back in the game, ex. IVE or aespa."

"Artist of the Year: New Jeans has 'Ditto' in December, and 'OMG' in January, so their tracking numbers are high, but IVE actually entered top 5 already with 'I AM' and 'Kitsch,' so it really depends on their releases later this year."

"Song Of The Year would be New Jeans' 'Ditto' since it's on top right now, but it looks like IVE's 'I AM' is next up."

Meanwhile, the 2022 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) was held on November 29 (Day 1) and November 30, 2022 (Day 2) at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka. The event was hosted by Park Bo Gum and was attended by over 35,000 spectators.
