The 11th Gaon Chart Music Awards is ready to honor the artists who outshined the crowd last year.

For 11 years since 2010, the Gaon Music Chart in South Korea successfully recognized the popular K-pop music every week. It serves as the national chart in the country, having a similar title like US’ Billboard and Japan’s Oricon charts.

But in 2017, it decided to take the recognition to the next level by launching the awarding ceremony. Each year, it broadcasts the event through Mnet and V Live and gives awards like Artist of the Year – Physical, Artist of the Year – Digital Music, New Artist of the Year, Discovery of the Year, and Retail Album of the Year, to name a few.

Ahead of its ceremony this year, the 11th Gaon Chart Music Awards formally released the official line-up of artists who will be on stage for the event.
