The official list of nominees for this year’s JOOX Indonesia Music Awards has been unveiled.
This year’s nominations list features a mix of domestic and global artists, which includes K-pop superstars BTS and BLACKPINK, as well as Pamungkas. Fans will get the opportunity to decide the winner for each category by voting. The categories for the virtual event are focused on single releases, groups and artists, with a distinct section awarding the Best Fanbase Of The Year.
