GirlsAward Launches RUNWAY+ With Weekly Idol And Fashion News Show
GirlsAward is converting the audience it draws twice a year at physical events into a weekly YouTube operation, and staffing the first episode with an idol critic and an idol group member shows the programming is aimed at the same fandom the runway shows already serve.
