[Special] 2023 KPOPREVIEWED Awards – WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT

Welcome to the final and most important post for the 2023 KPOPREVIEWED Awards – the announcement of winners to each categories!

Just a bit of a recap of what has happened thus far, I announced the nominees back in November 2023, after which fan votes were gathered to help determine the winners of most categories for a 2 month period (up until mid-January 2024). I did go on a break after that, but since returning from the break, I have been working extremely hard to finalise the counts and prepare this post.

As there is a fair bit of categories to get through, I have split them over three pages under this post. You can find weblinks to the pages at the top or bottom of each page, or you can navigate to via the numbers at the bottom of each page.

So without further ado (as I feel like I am posting this quite late), I present to you the official winners and honourable mentions (the nominee that placed second) of 2023 KPOPREVIEWED Awards – most of which are determined by you!
