Singer Yves has been nominated for the ‘Korean Popular Music Awards’.

The ‘22nd Korean Popular Music Awards’ announced the nominees by category on the 6th, and Yves‘s second EP ‘I Did’ has been nominated for the ‘Best K-Pop Album’.

‘I Did’ is an album in which Yves, who has set out to stand on her own as a solo artist, musically expresses the various emotions she encountered on her journey to find peace. Eve’s deep inner story was portrayed with a sensual sound, drawing favorable reviews from listeners.

The ‘Korean Popular Music Awards’ selection committee explained ‘I Did’ as “Various musical influences such as hip-hop, R&B, hyper-pop, and K-pop assert themselves throughout the album.”

He continued, “‘I Did’ adopts a cool and laid-back attitude throughout. Eve, who plays lightly on the foundation laid by producers Millic and IOAH, who lead Pikespermill, as if handling both vocals and performance is no easy task.”

Last year, Eve released her first EP ‘LOOP’ and second EP ‘I Did’, earning the title ‘Solo of the Year’. Recently, following Europe, he successfully completed the North American tour ‘2025 YVES APPLE CINNAMON CRUNCH TOUR IN NORTH AMERICA’, showing off his global presence.
