In November, TENASIA conducted global voting through its service, dividing categories into K-Pop Boy Brand, K-Pop Girl Brand, and Hot Genre Brand.
As a result of the voting, the group UNIS claimed the top spot in the K-Pop Girl Brand category. According to their agency F&F Entertainment on the 27th, member Lim Seowon was chosen as the new model for the student uniform brand SKOOLOOKS. UNIS held their first Asian tour last summer, meeting fans in Korea, Japan, and the Philippines. Additionally, in September, they released a collaboration track 'Shaking My Head' with Japanese artist Noa and their first original Japanese song 'Moshi Moshi♡'（もしもし♡).
Singer Kim Sejeong secured the second position. After debuting with the girl group I.O.I in 2016 and participating in Gugudan, she established her solo career with hits like 'Flower Way' and 'Warning'. She has also been active in musicals and theater. Kim Sejeong showcased a sweet yet poignant chemistry with Kang Tae-oh in the MBC drama 'Moon River'.

Winning the Best New Artist and the Fans' Choice Female Top 10 award, Hearts2Hearts expressed, "It's an honor to receive the Fans' Choice award at our first MAMA appearance." They added, "We believe this award was made by our fans," and thanked their SM Entertainment family and fans.
