The Nation’s Girl Group BINI is winning: they’ve just been hailed the “Best Asia Act” at MTV’s Europe Music Awards (EMA) this year.
BINI came out on top when pitted against Asian acts Mahalini of Indonesia, Sakurazaka46 of Japan, MASDO of Malaysia, and ILLIT of South Korea.
“We’re so thankful for winning the ‘Best Asia Act’ in this year’s MTV Europe Music Awards,” BINI Jhoanna said in MTV Asia’s video on X.
“We hope we can keep sharing our music with you, and that the world can discover more of Filipino music,” BINI Mikha added.
BINI, who also took to X to post about the win, wrote that the “honor means the world to us, seeing Filipino music shine on the global stage.”
This year has been a trove of milestones for the girl group. They were catapulted into stardom by their hit “Pantropiko,” had their first solo concert, “BINIverse” at the New Frontier Theatre in June, and became the first Filipino performers featured in the KCON LA music festival a month after.
The 2024 MTV EMA was hosted in Manchester on Sunday (early Monday in Manila time).
The “Grand BINIverse” is only less than a week away, on November 16-18.
