It can be seen that in every prediction, BTS is the leading name of the Top 10 Artists Award with a score far ahead of the rest of the nominees. Some other artists are also predicted to have a firm position in the Top 10, including IU, Baek Yerin, Zico, BLACKPINK...
Of course, this is still a prediction based on the voting results as of November 13. The final ranking may have many changes compared to the aforementioned list as fans are still working hard to vote until the MMA voting officially closes.
