The BINI Kids’ Choice Awards nomination, announced October 8, 2026, puts the eight-member girl group in the running for Favorite Global Music Star at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2026, according to Billboard Philippines. It is a first for the category: BINI are the first Filipino act ever picked for it and the first-ever non-Korean representative chosen.
The group, made up of Jhoanna, Aiah, Colet, Maloi, Gwen, Stacey, Mikha and Sheena, will represent Asia in a seven-act global lineup. The other picks are Karol G for Latin America, Zara Larsson for Europe, Taylor Swift for North America, Olivia Dean for the United Kingdom, Tame Impala for Australia and Tyla for Africa.
Each act carries one region, so BINI is the only Asian pick this year. The nomination was announced on the same day fan voting opened, which gives the group’s supporters a clear starting point.
Why does this nomination matter for P-pop?
Until now, every Asian representative in this category had come from South Korea. Since the category was introduced in 2017, acts such as BIGBANG, BTS, BLACKPINK and Stray Kids have held that spot. BINI changes the pattern and puts a Filipino group alongside them.
P-pop is the movement of Filipino idol groups and solo acts that combine pop music, choreography and polished production for local and international fans. The scene has grown quickly, and it already has a recent marker on this stage. SB19 won Favorite Asian Act in 2025, ahead of ENHYPEN, NiziU, Tiara Andini and Iman Troye.
BINI’s nod lands during a busy run. The group recently took home Artist of the Year and Tour of the Year at the 2026 Filipino Music Awards, with the tour prize tied to its Signals World Tour. The eight-member act is also set to perform at LaLaLa Fest Manila on January 14, 2027, alongside fellow Kids’ Choice Awards nominee Olivia Dean.
How can fans vote, and when is the show?
Fans can vote for BINI on the official Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards website from October 8 to November 13, 2026. The ceremony is set for November 14 at 8:00 PM ET, which is November 15 at 8:00 AM PHT, and it will air live on Nickelodeon.
That time difference matters for Philippine viewers, since the broadcast reaches Manila on the morning of November 15. The practical steps are simple: vote during the window, mark the broadcast time and keep an eye on the group’s updates as the ceremony approaches.
The awards celebrate the year’s biggest names in television, film, music and sports. Winners are determined by votes from viewers worldwide, so the result depends on fans sticking with their picks through the voting window.
The group’s recent run of honors, from the Filipino Music Awards to a global nomination, adds to a growing record of accolades. Fans who want to catch up can revisit the group’s third EP, Signals, which is the natural place to start for newer listeners.
The nomination is a clear marker for Filipino pop on a stage it has rarely reached. Whether BINI takes home the trophy will be settled by viewer votes before the November 14 ceremony.
