MTV have announced their list of live performances taking place during the event, with Jungkook set to perform alongside US pop star Sabrina Carpenter at this year’s event.

Hide AdJungkook is up for a host of awards, including his name being featured among the ‘Best K-Pop’ nominees this year. But it is the inclusion of ‘Seven,’ the first single from his forthcoming debut solo album ‘Golden’ that featured Latto, which is the talk amongst netizens ahead of the event.
That song has the distinction of being nominated for the overall ‘Song of the Year’ prize, but of course faces stiff competition from the likes of Taylor Swift, who is looking to make more history at the EMAs this year, and Olivia Rodrigo who is a heavy favourite for her most recent song, ‘Vampire.’
It’s not the first time that Jungkook has performed at an MTV event; many netizens may recall the incredible performance that BTS brought to MTV viewers at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards in New York City. On that occasion, the group performed ‘Dynamite’ - which also garnered the band their first Grammy nomination, for ‘Best Pop Duo/Group Performance’ at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, making them the first Korean pop act to be nominated for one.
The 2023 MTV EMAs will broadcast live on MTV in more than 150 countries on November 5 2023 in addition to being available in multiple international territories on Pluto TV, and on-demand on Paramount+
