The group BTS has been nominated for the grand prize at the American Music Awards (AMA), one of the three major popular music award ceremonies in the United States.

According to the list of nominees for this year's awards ceremony, announced by the AMA on the 14th (local time), BTS has been nominated in three categories: 'Artist of the Year' (the grand prize), 'Best Male K-Pop Artist,' and 'Song of the Summer.'

BTS became the first Korean artist to win 'Artist of the Year' in 2021. At this year's ceremony, BTS will compete against nine pop stars, including Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga. 'SWIM,' nominated for 'Song of the Summer,' was shortlisted less than a month after its release.

Cat’s Eye, the global girl group jointly produced by HYBE and Geffen Records, has also been nominated in three categories. They are aiming for awards in 'New Artist of the Year,' which recognizes newcomers, as well as 'Best Music Video' and 'Breakthrough Pop Artist.'

Cat’s Eye is a team that debuted in the United States, applying the 'K-pop methodology' spearheaded by Chairman Bang Sihyuk. Recently, their second mini album (EP) 'BEAUTIFUL CHAOS' ranked fourth on the Billboard 200, the main Billboard album chart.

The Netflix animation 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' has been nominated for 'Best Soundtrack.' 'Golden,' sung by the girl group Huntrix in the film, was nominated for 'Best Pop Song.'

The nominees for 'Best Male K-Pop Artist' include BTS, Ateez, Enhypen, Stray Kids, and Tomorrow X Together. In the 'Best Female K-Pop Artist' category, aespa, Blackpink, ILLIT, Le Sserafim, and Twice will compete.

The AMA ceremony will be held on the 25th of next month at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, United States. Award nominees are selected based on a combination of streaming figures, album sales, and radio broadcast counts.
