2024 Melon Music Awards Predictions: Lee Mu-jin vs BTS’ Jungkook for Best Male Solo Award

The 2024 Melon Music Awards is anticipated to occur on November 30. As a preliminary forecast for the upcoming ceremony, a list featuring the expected nominees has surfaced online. This list was shared by Twitter user @KoWatermelon, known for providing early predictions for major award shows annually.

This prediction list is calculated based on the metrics that award shows typically consider for their nominees. The 2024 Melon Music Awards will evaluate artists based on their performance on Melon, a popular South Korean online music platform, as well as other domestic music charts and similar awarding criteria, which @KoWatermelon factors in.

The Melon Music Awards stands as one of the significant music awards within the South Korean music industry. Organized by Kakao Entertainment, the awards were established in 2005 as a fully fan-voted event conducted online.

This approach continued until 2008 when the Melon Music Awards hosted its inaugural offline ceremony in 2009 in Seoul. Since then, the award ceremony has grown and has become an offline event. The purpose behind this award ceremony is to honor and recognize outstanding digital performances from both artists and their musical releases.
