Upon revealing the male artist's line-up for the 2022 Circle Chart Music Awards, fans can't seem to hold their excitement over the special events and performances that will roll out on February 18.

Especially given that most artists like SEVENTEEN BSS and TXT have their comeback releases right before the event, the special live stages they'll be preparing for the award show intrigues fans further.

However, having NCT Doyoung in the line-up also speculates on a possible performance by the artist, given that he's known for his K-drama OST releases and solo singles.

From appearing on many K-dramas to having NCT 127's repackage album comeback right around the corner, the kind of performance Doyoung will be showcasing at the Circle Chart Music Awards intrigues fans.

The Circle Chart Music Awards' first line-up of attendees, the female artists, also revealed an exciting line-up including STAYC, Kep1er, Aespa, NMIXX, YENA, and (G)I-DLE Miyeon. With almost all the well-performing fourth-generation K-pop girl groups participating, the special stages they've prepared for fans are much anticipated by the fandom.

However, given that the Circle/Goan Chart Music Awards has many of its nominations based on an online voting system, the K-pop fandom has been devotedly voting for their favorite K-pop groups to support and showcase their love for their artists.

The voting timeline ends on February 14, 2023, about four days prior to the event, and after calculation of the same, the winners of the nominations will be announced.

Given that award shows are always a much-anticipated time of the year for fans, due to their exciting stage performances, rare interactions between K-pop idols, and their favorite artists bagging awards, the 2022 Circle Chart Music Awards keeps the fandom on their toes.

With the award show being no more than two weeks away, fans grew excited to see a unique line-up of artists roll out their performances for the night. On the other hand, fans pick up their pace by voting for their favorite Korean artists.
