Last year, BTS won three prizes, including the best group of the year, and the global South Korean TV sensation "Squid Game" was hailed as the "bingeworthy" show of the year.

The People's Choice Awards have been held since 1975 to recognizable artists and entertainers in various fields, including movies, television and music, with the public and fans voting for the winners.

This year's show will be broadcast simultaneously on both the U.S. channel NBC and entertainment cable channel E! on Dec. 6 from Santa Monica, California.
