2022 Kcrush America K-Pop Music Awards: The Winners

From November 16-December 16, 2022, we asked you, our readers, to vote for your favorite K-Pop acts via our Kcrush America K-Pop Music Awards.

For our sixth year holding our readers’ choice awards, several races were too close to call throughout the voting window. The rookie categories were the closest, with the rookie female and male group categories in a deadlock between three groups each until the last week-and-a-half of the voting period when K-Pop fans from Costa Rica, Brazil, and Germany pushed the winners to the winner’s circle. For Best Crossover song, two votes separated first from second and one vote separating second from third!

Meanwhile, the OST, best song (both male and female group), Best New Male Artist, and Song of the Year categories had runaway winners with those categories decided early.

With over 700 votes, we thank you for your time and choosing your favorites. Check out below to see the winners!
