The HYBE family bombed the U.S. 'The Billboard Music Awards.'
On the 25th (local time), the list of finalists for the "2024 Billboard Music Awards" (hereinafter referred to as the BBMAs) was released. Here, a large number of hive artists have been named, proving their global popularity.

'Who' debuted at No. 14 on the Billboard main song chart 'Hot100' shortly after its release, continuing its 17th consecutive chart-in.

'3D' and 'Standing Next to You' are hits that entered Billboard 'Hot100' at number five. Thanks to this, Jungkook was selected as a finalist in a total of six categories: 'Top Selling Song', 'Top K-pop Album', 'Top Song Sales Artist'Top Global K-pop Artist'. This is the most nominated K-pop singer this year. In particular, Jungkook is the first K-pop solo artist to be nominated in the Top Song Sales Artist category.
After winning the 'Top Social Artist' category in 2017, BTS won a total of 12 trophies, including 'Top Social Artist' (2017-2021), 'Top Duo/Group' (2019, 2021-2022), 'Top Song Sales Artist' (2021-2022), and 'Top Selling Song' (2021-2022).

SEVENTEEN was nominated for the category Top K-Pop Touring Artist.

They ranked highest among K-pop artists in the BoxScore Annual Half-Yearly Report 'Top Tour' released by Billboard (Oct. 1-Mar. 31, 2023).
TOMORROW X TOGETHER, which was nominated last year for the `Top Global K-Pop Artist' and 'Top K-Pop Album" awards, showed growth this year, nominated for the 'Top K-Pop Album" category.

Eight months after her debut, Eilit became a candidate for the song `Top Global K-Pop Song" with her first mini album, `Magnetic.'
However, NewJeans' name was omitted from the nomination for the award ceremony, causing a mystery.
After entering Billboard 'Hot 100' six months after its debut, NewJeans
was selected as the first K-pop girl group to be a performer '2023 BBMAs', drawing attention. This year, they failed to enter 'Hot 100' or 'BubbleGum'BubbleGum'Super Natural'Right Now' was charted in 'Bubble Global 200' and 'Bubble Global 200 (excluding the U.S.)', so it is somewhat regrettable that NewJeans
was excluded from the list.
