The Circle Chart Music Awards (formerly known as the Gaon Chart Music Awards) has revealed this year’s winners!

On January 10, the Circle Chart Music Awards 2023 took place at Busan’s BEXCO. As in previous years, the awards were primarily determined by the commercial performance of songs and albums based on the Circle charts from December 1, 2022 to November 30, 2023.

NCT DREAM won the Daesang (Grand Prize) for Digital Album of the Year, in addition to the awards for Artist of the Year (Album) and World K-Pop Star.
