Rules & Disclaimer

1. I am biased towards female artists and follow them much more closely than male artists.
4
2. I have not listened to every single Korean song that has been released in 2017, but I have heard all the popular ones.
5
3. These are all my personal choices and they do not represent the opinions of anyone else.

4. Artists cannot win any award higher than their tier of awards. Examples: Winners of Excellence awards cannot win any other type of awards. Genre award winners cannot win Major and Top awards. Major award winners cannot win Top awards.
7
5. Likewise, artists cannot win an award of lesser rank. If an artist has won an award of higher rank, you can consider them also as winners of any award they are nominated for of lesser rank.
8
6. Artists/Songs highlighted in Mangenta are the winners. Artist/Song highlighted in bright green wins DJ Ping's 2017 Favorite Song of the Year and the hierarchy rules do not apply to it. Winner (Highlighted in blue) is the post-award show Best Male Group Winner after doing a review of the songs released in 2017.
