Mnet announced the nominees for this year's 'Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA)' on October 24.

On this day, various artists were chosen for multiple categories for this year's award ceremonies, including 'Best Male Artist,' 'Best Female Artist,' 'Best Male Group,' and more.

IU, (G)I-dle Miyeon, Twice Nayeon, Red Velvet Seulgi, and Taeyeon were the nominees for 'Best Female Artist.'

Following the announcement of the nominees in this category, many netizens gathered in an online community to predict the winners while also discussing the artists' fierce competition.

On October 24, a post about Best Female Artist Award began trending on enter-talk‘ community board under the title, “WHO DO YOU BELIEVE WILL WIN THE MAMA FOR BEST FEMALE ARTIST?“.

Other netizens rushed to the comment sections and said the following:

It will be Nayeon, according to MAMA's standards. She did well in the charts, but she also had the most albums and the best MV.

Isn't that Nayeon? They are taking into account international success.

Only Taeyeon was able to complete an all-kill this year and ranked first for a month.

Because of the international scores, Nayeon

Nayeon has 110 million Spotify streams, while Taeyeon has 40 million. Aside from the Korean chart, Nayeon is ranked higher in every other country. Even in terms of album sales

According to my research, Taeyeon has 97 million streams in Korea, while Nayeon has 28 million. Melon sent this in. Even if you include other sites, the difference will be minimal. The difference between the two is approximately 3.5x. Spotify's streams may cancel out the score. When it comes to physical albums, Taeyeon didn't sell less than a quarter of Nayeon's. She sold roughly half of her albums, so she will receive at least half of her total score. So the gap has shrunk to a single digit. Stop fussing just because she's 15 years into her career. Before you start talking, go check your opponent's score.

Who do you think truly deserves the Best Female Artist Award?

Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
“I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
