txt swept the KMAs with FIVE awards and a whole daesang and moa are simply not recovering
the km chart awards went down saturday night and our roster cleaned house — txt took artist of the year, bts won album of the year for 'ARIRANG,' and hwasa snatched song of the year. a certified massacre.
the km chart awards (KMA) 2026 happened saturday night at korea university's hwajeong tiger dome in seoul, and bestie… our roster did NOT come to lose. it was a bloodbath and i mean that in the most celebratory way possible.
txt walked out with FIVE trophies including the daesang — the grand prize — for artist of the year. two of those (best popular song and best popular male group) were decided entirely by fan voting, so moa really said 'we do it for the plot.' yeonjun also grabbed best popular solo male, because this family simply does not miss.
the other daesangs kept the roster supremacy going: bts took album of the year for 'ARIRANG,' and mamamoo's hwasa snatched song of the year with 'good goodbye.' the range across our girls and boys is genuinely unhinged.
the ultimate 12 (aka the bonsang main prizes) included bts, hwasa, txt, zerobaseone and riize — a stacked, stacked list — while hearts2hearts took best female group AND made the cut. aespa's winter also walked off with best popular solo female, because of course she did.
shoutout to the non-roster winners too — cortis snagged record of the year with 'GREENGREEN,' respect — but today belongs to the faves. between the daesangs, the fan-voted wins and the bonsangs, the group chat is unrecoverable. we are so back and we are so winning.

red velvet said summer is MINE and took a win for 'surfin' boy' 🏄
the reveluvs got their first trophy on 'show champion' and the summer-song agenda is officially unstoppable
it's giving beach, it's giving sunscreen, it's giving TROPHY. red velvet nabbed the first win for 'surfin' boy' and the summer queens are undefeated once again.
the girls took it home on 'show champion' on august 12, beating out a genuinely STACKED lineup — fromis_9, kiss of life, stray kids AND jennie were all in the running. to win against that field? that's not luck, that's velvet supremacy.
'surfin' boy' lives on their 'velvet summer' album which — respectfully — is exactly the kind of shimmery seasonal chaos we needed. the concept is beachcore, the vocals are immaculate, my serotonin is restored.
reveluvs been eating GOOD lately and this trophy is just the cherry (well, the surfboard) on top. summer belongs to red velvet, we're all just tanning in it.
