The biggest local girl group of today has been recognized by the globally-acclaimed award-giving body.
The Europe Music Awards, organized by global media brand MTV, has awarded the Filipina pop group BINI the Best Asia Act award.
The 8-member team competed against Korean girl group ILLIT, Japanese girl group Sakurazaka46, Indonesian soloist Mahalini, and Malaysian band Masdo in the said category.
In a message video posted by MTV, the ‘Nation’s Girl Group’s expressed their gratefulness in being conferred the award.
They also gave their message of thanks via their official social media account and said, “This honor means the world to us, seeing Filipino music shine on the global stage. Maraming salamat po.”
The 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards, which took place on Sunday, November 10, at the Co-op Live arena in Manchester, England, also gave awards in other categories: the Best K-pop act, Best New Artist, Best Video, Best Collaboration, Best Push, and Biggest Fans.
The nomination of the P-pop group in the EMA, composed of members Aiah, Colet, Maloi, Gwen, Stacey, Mikha, Jhoanna, and Sheena, is the latest in a slate of milestones that they achieved this year.
The group, which originally debuted in June 2021, garnered immense popularity at the beginning of this year after their hit songs ‘Pantropiko’ and ‘Salamin, Salamin’ became viral on social media and streaming platforms.
The momentum then continued with their English track ‘Cherry On Top,’ which they dropped last July.
At the moment, they are also preparing for their upcoming sold-out three-night first concert at the Araneta Coliseum titled ‘Grand Biniverse’ that is set to happen from November 16 to 18, 2024.
Meanwhile, in association with ABS-CBN News Documentaries, iWantTFC has also created a docu-series on the P-pop group.
The first part ‘Chapter 1: Born To Win’ was released on September 26, and the succeeding installment, ‘Chapter 2: Here With You,’ was released last November 8.
Aside from the concert and documentary, BINI is also reportedly preparing to release separate albums for local and international audiences by the end of the year.
