[SPOTV News \u2014 Kim Won-gyeom] HYBE reinforced its standing as a leading K-pop label after its artists took home eight trophies at the American Music Awards, including the ceremony\u2019s top prize.<\/p>\n
HYBE acts BTS, Cats Eye and Tyla collectively claimed eight awards at the 52nd American Music Awards, demonstrating influence that crosses genres and regions.<\/p>\n
At the AMAs on the 26th (Korean time) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, BTS was named Artist of the Year, and Cats Eye won New Artist of the Year. Two of the AMAs\u2019 so-called \u201cBig Four\u201d awards went to HYBE labels BigHit Music and HYBE\u2013Geffen Records.<\/p>\n
Both groups finished the night with three wins. BTS not only took Artist of the Year but also won Best Male K-pop Artist, and \u201cSwim,\u201d the lead single from their fifth studio album Arirang, was named Song of the Summer. Cats Eye earned New Artist of the Year and Breakthrough Pop Artist, and their hit \u201cGnarly\u201d won Best Music Video.<\/p>\n
Tyla, who is managed by HYBE America, also made the winners\u2019 list. Her viral hit \u201cChanel\u201d won Social Song of the Year, and she added Best Afrobeats Artist to finish with two trophies.<\/p>\n
Tyla\u2019s victories are notable for coming after her partnership with HYBE America. HYBE supports her with music production, publishing and touring, and is exploring synergies across brand partnerships and IP collaborations.<\/p>\n
Observers say HYBE\u2019s \u201cmulti-home, multi-genre\u201d strategy \u2014 pushing beyond K-pop into pop, R&B and Afrobeats \u2014 paid off at the ceremony. BTS\u2019s global popularity, Cats Eye\u2019s strong debut and Tyla\u2019s genre reach all surfaced in one awards show, underscoring the effectiveness of the \u201cK-pop methodology\u201d championed by HYBE chairman Bang Si-hyuk.<\/p>\n
The artists\u2019 acceptance remarks reflected that networked ecosystem. BTS thanked \u201cour producer Bang Si-hyuk and everyone involved,\u201d while Cats Eye singled out \u201cChairman Bang Si-hyuk, the HYBE\u2013Geffen Records team, and BTS for inspiring us to represent our culture on the global stage.\u201d Those comments highlighted the reach of HYBE\u2019s music ecosystem across regions and genres.<\/p>\n
HYBE has been expanding across the global music market and now operates 16 labels across four regions \u2014 Korea, the United States, Japan and Latin America. Each label operates with independence and creative autonomy, combining HYBE\u2019s K-pop production system and global network with local musical flavors to discover and grow new IP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
