  1. they deserve it all…esp. 2ne1 and GD.. 2ne1 have their own style and have unique genre than snsd.. snsd are for little girls so good in acting cute..tweeetums.. 2ne1 have also different beauties,talents and multilingual.. snsd? they are cute but all the same..boring

  2. 2NE1 definitely deserves! GD and 2PM deserved it– but if SJ was there, they’d take home the album and artist. I’m not biased (recall the major popularity that happened to SJ this year?) Happy for SJ because they were at least recognized for their overseas accomplishments :) — these shows probably are biased in a way, but if the top artists don’t attend, they obviously have to give it to the next best.

  3. bahaha sorry to burst anyone’s bubbles but if SM and all the other world renown kpop stars decided to show, half these people don’t have a chance. and I am not biased in any way.

  4. [b] 2ne1 jjang [/b]

  5. best new female artist should be 4minute!

  6. 2ne1..the best..

  7. I don’t agree to most of the awards but seriously who is Supremes?
    I type in google and got nothing!

    TaeGoon, ChungLim, Beast or Mblaq should have win.. at least I know them!

  8. ROFLOL~! okay, i love 2pm soooooo much, but i think there are much better than them. and wow…the results are seriously soooooo UNSM-biased. lolxD. this is such a funny award show.. hahahah. talk about unfairness~! hahah

  9. Congrats 2NE1 :D

  10. the one i find not really believeable is “Best Dance” award going to Kara’s Honey. well its not like ive tried youtubing Honey dance covers.. Lolz.. but i know other dances have been bigger hits than Honey’s dance has.. hmm..
    but im really proud of 2PM :D

  11. poor wooyoungie! did you see his tears? i started crying too. 2PM your emotions are my emotions! your tears are my tears! your smiles are my smiles! fighting!

  12. Half of this winner’s list is messed up! No wonder half of the kpop world didn’t show up!

  13. is sm artists were there, they would’ve swpet the awards i am so sure of it but congrats to the winners, especially 2pm.leadja!!!

  14. 4Minute must be in this !!!

  15. @873, im certainly glad your sohee is looking as ugly as ever in ur avatar :D

  22. ##868- “Hear…Hear”

  23. you crazy people, keep commenting so we get 1000 comments.
    All who won deserved the awards they got!

  24. congrats to them all <3 esp to my boys 2PM<3
    but honey for best dance? honey is the most boring in that bunch lol

  25. #865- bunnygirl….the F_CK you care!
    …Anywho.
    I’m happy I’m ticking off SM fans like you!

  26. “omgd” needs to stop commenting about “YG DOMINATION” and “my boo GD”… not only is G-Dragon not “your boo”, 2NE1 is not “your girls” either. Sorry to burst your bubble, there.

    ..Anywho.
    I’m thinking 2NE1 didn’t deserve Best Song of the Year.
    GDragon, however.. I believe he deserved the Best Album
    Hm. It’s a shame about the end of the year Awards show being biased..
    If it wasn’t as biased, it would have really been a great show to watch.. All the entertainment companies, all the girlgroups/guygroups together in one place.. Winning awards that they really, truly deserved. It’s a shame about Mnet/SME problems.. SM really does have some of the most talented artists in the Kpop Industry.

    SNSD, Super Junior, SHINee, f(x).. Tragic.

  27. CONGRATS TO ALL………………..
    ESPECIALLY D ♥ 2NE1♥

  28. @860 FYI SUper junior and SNSD sold way more copies than their Hanteo sales. Let me remind u Hanteo is just 1 of the many charts in Korea. and everyone knows that SNSD sold more than 150k for both their mini albums and SUJU sold more than 200k for their album, 300k if u wan to consider their worldwide sales, no.1 in taiwan, philippines etc.
    and for the hits, we know very well, it was reported that SNSD Gee remains the most downloaded song of the whole year. and SNSD is the only girl group to have 6 consecutive no.1 hits. 4 from their first album followed by gee and genie. all the songs have at least a win in any music shows or topped online or offline chart. Talk about who is more deserving for Best group of the year.

  29. OMG!!!
    my SEEEEEEEXY DBSK….SS501….G-Dragon nd SuJu!!!
    CONGRATULATIONSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
    specially my SEKSHIYE DBSK nd SS501!!!! ADORE them!!! <33333333333

  30. omg i watch it live at channel v:)
    i am so loving it..hehe…
    2pm won two awards. what a day:)
    2pm ftw

  31. tsktsk…TOo much bitterness..tsk..THIS IS SM STRATEGY,…..cozzzz people will think the winners are not deserving because they boycott the MAMA ..SM knows that they can’t win in terms of album sales and hits thats why they boycott MAMA an advance strategy u know…hahaha

  32. don’t really like how honey won.. i wouldn’t mind pretty girl

  33. BROWN EYED GIRLS FIGHTING! ♥
