Now, that was a ton of award shows. But I am not doing this without all of my friends at the IAMCA. They really have been monumental at making all of it possible. I would also like to thank everyone in the Korean music industry for being so responsive and entertaining to collaborate with. All winners and nominees will be tallied in a leaderboard post that we will be highlighting in each one of our blogs. I hope you look forward to the 2021 Awards Circuit!

See you tomorrow at 555 Reviews for their first ever award nominations post and the start of the Award Circuit!
