In the rest of the four polls, no other K-pop act could prove to be a match for either BTS or EXO, allowing the two to completely dominate the voting. EXO’s Baekhyun won “K-pop’s best vocalist,” and BTS’ RM, J-Hope and Suga respectively won for best leader, best rapper and best producer.
Mwave is a K-pop online platform formed by entertainment company CJ E&M, which is also home to music show “M Countdown,” annual K-pop music convention “KCON” and the Mnet Asian Music Awards.
