Among the awardees was (G)I-DLE’s leader Soyeon, who won the “best songwriter” title for her composition and lyric writing work on the group’s 2022 comeback albums I Never Die and I Love, particularly their hit singles “Tomboy” and “Nxde.”

Her win was even more special because she and legendary soloist IU are the only two female K-Pop idols to win the award, making Soyeon the first female idol group member winner. IU had previously won in 2017 and 2021.
