On Tuesday, October 3, Billboard Brazil unveiled the list of nominations for the upcoming EMAs.
According to MTV, the EMAs will be an event to celebrate the work of global artists with awards and legendary performances from international music icons. Notably, several K-pop acts made it to the record.
