Sept. 26 (UPI) -- Colombian hitmaker Karol G scored two trophies at the 2025 Premios Juventud in Panama City, Panama, including the coveted Artist of the Year award.
The Latin youth ceremony Thursday, staged outside the United States for the first time, also saw her win Tropical Hit for "Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido," a track whose music video has already surpassed 1 billion views on YouTube.
Created in 2004 by Univisión, Premios Juventud recognizes youth-driven trends across music, film, television and social media. Traditionally based in Miami, the show relocated to Panama this year to showcase the country's influence on urban music and expand the awards' international reach.
"Bringing Premios Juventud to Panama was about honoring Latin heritage and giving space to new voices," Univisión said in a statement.
