TXT, IVE, ITZY, PENTAGON, Kep1er, Dreamcatcher, TNX, and many more attended the award event held on August 25, 2022. The groups initially trended on social media with their red carpet looks. As the night progressed, award speeches, performances, adorable gestures, and other things turned the event more fun and had them trending.

Fans gushed over the red carpet looks of the idols, praising the stylists for styling them well and the artists for carrying them gracefully.

However, one moment that shone brightly during the award ceremony was when TXT and ITZY were accepting their awards. Both the groups won the Best Music Award together. While on stage, TXT’s Beomgyu gestured to MOAs (the group’s fandom) to pay attention to ITZY’s acceptance speech, as many were filming the boy group. This gesture won many hearts online.
