LE SSERAFIM’s “SPAGHETTI” Nominated for Best K-Pop Song at Korean Music Awards

The girl group LE SSERAFIM’s “SPAGHETTI (feat. j-hope of BTS)” has been nominated for Best K-Pop Song at the Korean Music Awards. The selection committee for the Korean Music Awards announced the list of nominees on the 5th, and this track by LE SSERAFIM — consisting of Kim Chae-won, Sakura, Yunjin, Kazuha, and Hong Eun-chae — was chosen for a major category that evaluates artistic quality and creative achievement.

“SPAGHETTI (feat. j-hope of BTS)” is a song in the alternative punk pop genre. It compares the constant thoughts about LE SSERAFIM to spaghetti stuck together, using that imagery to express the theme. Sakura and Yunjin contributed to the creation of this track, and its repetitive chorus along with playful lyrics deliver a highly addictive sound.

The song has also achieved notable success in the global music market. Just seven weeks after its release in October of last year, it surpassed 100 million Spotify plays. It reached position 50 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and position 46 on the UK Official Singles Top 100, setting a new high for the group.

The Korean Music Awards are entering their 23rd year this year. This is an esteemed award show that began in 2004 when music critics, journalists, producers, and other experts came together. The ceremony is scheduled to take place on the 26th and will be broadcast live via the official Korean Music Awards YouTube channel and Melon.
