As for the “Best Song” predictions, 3rd place is projected to be Lim Jae Hyun’s “Rhapsody of Sadness”, 2nd to aespa’s “Drama”, and 1st to Taeyeon’s “To.X”.

Here’s how Korean netizens are reacting to the predictions.
“Jungkook’s ‘Seven’ is a song that came out last summer, so it’s been running for a long time.” “Do the singers who are releasing music from now on still have a chance to bounce back?” “SEVENTEEN !! ” “I hope Taeyeon wins a big prize at MMA, I’m still disappointed that she didn’t get it even though she was in the top ten of the artists…” “Let’s win a big prize for the kids!” “Jungkook is running long.” “Let’s go SEVENTEEN.” “Jungkook’s song from last year ” “PLAVE is growing…”
What do you think of these possible winners?
