Here’s a complete list of the winners of the 2022 Melon Music Awards.

On Saturday, Melon held its annual Melon Music Awards and welcomed an in-person audience for the first time in three years. Although the COVID-19 pandemic affected its usual setup, it came back stronger and honored the best Korean artists and groups who contributed to South Korea’s booming music industry.

This year's event, organized by Kakao M through the music store, marked the 14th installment of the ceremony, which started as a fan-voted award before becoming an offline awards show.

Among the winners, Lim Young Woung scored the most spotlight after bringing home two Daesang awards — Album of the Year and Artist of the Year Awards.
