[Edaily Starin JOO MEE_HEE Reporter] Following the groups BTS and BLACKPINK, the Netflix animated series "K-Pop Demon Hunters" has also been nominated, with K-pop and K-content securing numerous nominations at the U.S. "2026 Kids' Choice Awards."

According to the list of nominees released on the 8th (local time), BTS has been nominated in three categories, including “Favorite Music Group/Duo,” “Favorite Album,” and “Favorite Song.”
Hosted by the U.S. children’s entertainment channel Nickelodeon, the Kids’ Choice Awards is an awards ceremony that recognizes stars and works that have gained popularity across all aspects of popular culture, including music, film, and television.
BTS has a deep connection with this awards show. They won the “Favorite Music Group” trophy for four consecutive years from 2020 to 2023, setting the record for the most wins in that category. By being nominated again in the same category this year, they are aiming for their fifth overall win.
BLACKPINK has also been nominated alongside BTS in the “Favorite Music Group/Duo” category. The members’ solo activities have also been included on the list of nominees.
Rosé has been nominated in the “Favorite Female Artist” category, while Jennie has been nominated for “Favorite Music Collaboration” for “Dracula,” a track she released with Australian singer Tame Impala.
Cat’s Eye, a girl group formed through a joint venture between HYBE and Geffen Records, has also been nominated for “Favorite Female Breakout Artist/Group.”
The Netflix animated series “K-Pop Demon Hunters,” which gained global popularity last year, is also in the running for awards in several categories.
Ahn Hyo-seop and Aden Cho, who voiced Jin-woo and Rumi in the series, have been nominated for “Favorite Male Animated Voice from a Movie” and “Favorite Female Animated Voice from a Movie,” respectively.
Rumi, Joy, and Mira—members of the fictional girl group Huntrix in the film—have been nominated for “Favorite On-Screen Duo/Trio,” and the original soundtrack (OST) track “Golden” is competing in the “Favorite Song from a Movie” category.
The film *K-Pop Demon Hunters* itself has also been nominated for “Favorite Animated Movie,” meaning the film, its music, and its voice cast are all in the running for trophies.
The “2026 Kids’ Choice Awards” will take place on the 14th of next month in Los Angeles, USA.
