SB19 is nominated for a 2021 MTV EMA! The P-Pop group is nominated for Best Southeast Asian Act alongside Ink Waruntorn of Thailand, JJ Lin of Singapore, K-ICM of Vietnam, Lyodra of Indonesia, and Naim Daniel of Malaysia. This nomination comes off the heels of their history-making nomination at the Billboard Music Awards, being the first Southeast Asian act to be nominated in the Social Artists category. If the group wins the EMA, this would be the third Philippines act to ever win the award. The first-ever winner in this category from the Philippines was Sarah Geronimo in 2014 and then James Reid in 2017. You can now vote for SB19 or your favorite acts on their website.
This year's show will be held in Budapest, Hungary! Check out the complete nomination list below.
