Because it is based on the results of music charts instead of giving the decision-making power to a professional council, the Circle Chart Music Awards is considered the Billboard of Korea. Circle is currently a chart that collects data on the Korean music "industry" worldwide, with cooperation with platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok and YouTube. This is the key factor that creates objectivity and prestige for this prestigious music award.

Notably, although there is no Daesang (Grand Prize) category division like other award ceremonies, the results of the Circle Chart Music Awards are still very popular with the audience. K-pop fans believe that the Circle Chart's division of categories is in line with the criteria and spirit of the award.

Unlike previous years, the Artist of the Year award is divided into two segments: online music revenue and album sales revenue. This year, for the first time, the Artist of the Year award will be presented in four categories: Album Sales, Digital Music, Streaming or Unique Listeners (online listeners) and Global Streaming (global streaming).

Jongkook (BTS) set a series of "unprecedented" achievements in 2023.

Jungkook (BTS), SEVENTEEN and IVE are the names that are "dominating" all 4 nomination categories for Artist of the Year. 2023 is a year of brilliant victory for Jungkook (BTS). BTS's "golden maknae" is the first K-pop solo artist to have 3 songs in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100: Seven, 3D and Standing Next to You. The single that led to Seven reached the 1 billion stream milestone fastest in Spotify history, debuting at the "throne" of the Hot 100.

The album Golden had first-week sales of 200,000 units in the US. With so many international achievements, Consequence magazine named him the boundary breaker of the year.

Not to be outdone, IVE also attracted media attention when they won both the rookie award and the major award at many K-pop music awards. Continuing their streak of excellent achievements, the group also made their mark this year with the songs Kitsch, I am or I've Mine...

Meanwhile, according to Circle Chart's 2023 album sales report, SEVENTEEN is the K-pop artist that took the top spot in album sales this year, with an impressive 16 million copies sold - the highest ever for an artist in a single year.

2023 is a shining year for IVE with a series of prestigious awards.

In addition to the list of nominees for the Artist of the Year award, the 2023 Circle Chart Music Awards Organizing Committee has also finalized the list of nominees for the Rookie of the Year award.
