2008 Golden Disk Awards

The 2008 Golden Disk Awards were held earlier today at the Olympic Park Olympic Hall in Seoul. The Big Winners of the night were TVXQ / DBSK who won three awards (Daesang Album, Bonsang Disk, and YEPP Popularity Award).

Although nominated for numerous categories, Big Bang didn't even attend the event. It wouldn't have made much of a difference however... because they didn't win any awards.

Here are some of the other winners:

YEPP Daesang Album: DBSK / TVXQ

YEPP Daesang Digital: Jewelry

Best Producer: Lee Soo Man

YEPP Newcomer Album: SHINee

YEPP Newcomer Digital: DaVichi

YEPP Popularity Award: FT Island, Son Ho Young, TVXQ / DBSK, Taeyeon of SNSD

Bonsang Disk: Rain (Bi), Kim Dong Ryul, Shinhwa, Brown Eyed Girls, DBSK / TVXQ

Bonsang Digital: Brown Eyed Girls, Wonder Girls, Jewelry, MC Mong

its funny how everyone that attended won awards and the people that didnt go,didnt get any awards. Epic High,Seo Taji,Hyori,Bigbang and even Younha didnt get anything.at least MKMF was more realistic,they gave awards to the people that didnt showe up.i dont think i trust GDA’s anymore.cant wait for the Seoul Music Awards.

@MushyMorshy, you’re talking out of your ass. I’d hate to break your bubble, but all companies are the same^^
Also nice to see the constant fight between Cassies and VIPs ;D
Nice article!

theres a whole lot of bitching going on here =___=;
anyways~
the wonder girls remix was AMAZING. but i’m still a little irked that sohee was the only one that didn’t sing live. i mean, the other girls danced AND sang, so why is it they don’t make sohee do the same?

BigBang is not a big loser..
come to think of it..
BigBang has more talent than TVXQ..
TVXQ well.. they are only POPULAR & GOOD LOOKING! & Sing well..
but doesnt really make them talented…

@ Heroes
I have my opinion. Maybe i should’ve made it more clearer,
when it says best producer, in my opinion it counts as producing artist, producing music.
I have nothing against LSM. I just dont think he deserves it. And yes others do work their butt of, thats how they get fame, but comparing DBSK and Wonder Girls, how much more rest does DBSK have then WG?
And yes they are popular and has alot of hectic schedule, dealing Japan and Korea at the same time but DAMN LSM needs to give them a break, on the other hand, by the end of this year, WG will stop promoting, probably rest, get ready for their concert and JYP’s concert in february.

ANd now suddenly GDA is not creditable anymore cause they didn’t give an award for people who don’t attend the show.
Someone said that the winner of the bonsang already known before the awards were held but they keep the big winner as a secret. Well considered there are 10 bonsang I think it’s true, Japan end year award also do the same as GDA (the one that DBSK attend this end of year awards).
Instead of didn’t come didn’t win, how about didn’t win didn’t come??

@ 102
You have got to be kidding me. Golden Disk Award is a distinguished award show that has been around for a while. Just because your favorites didn’t win, it doesn’t make the award show any less prestigious. MKMF has and always will be an award show that has more of an emphasis on PERFORMANCES so that’s why you see a lot of artist show up - simply to perform. Not to mention, MKMF has always been catered to teenagers. And to the artists that didn’t show up to the GDA, it’s because they knew that they wouldn’t win.

@MushyMorshy: have you heard anything about objectivity?? The judges doesn’t decide the winner based on who treat their artist nicer or who bring them to dinner every know and then or who gives the longest break period. They not making friends with them, they are judging them based on what they produce. As they not gonna judge the artist based on who work the harder or who put more soul into their works. It’s all about statistic and number..

The fact will be unknown since none of us know YG, JYP, or LSM personally, but the works spoke for them… LSM produce more this years, and the artist he produce are more successful in term of album achievement then the other company. That’s it…  And I hate the man…

@ Satty, i agree with you.
& For the people here that think you are far too righteous and mature to “hate on other bands” & your wise ass little heads think you’re above people like Satty. Think again, cus everyone has the right to express their opinion without being bashed like shit. & Since when was it not okay to not like Big Bang ?

It’s so obvious- Lee Soo Man bought all the awards.
Good for him.
He is loosing big money and DBSK and party aren’t getting more popular because of the award!
No one can deny Big Bang’s existence now, not even a ‘somebody’ like you to mention them every now and then whenever DBSK is concerned.
Like it or not!
They are here to stay and rule!

Congratulations DBSK- I am fan too smile

XD Big Bang is not better than DBSK in terms of singing, dancing, acting and composing (feel free to prove me wrong if you can). What makes them more talented? Do Big Bang boys have some secret talents that only you know about?

i cant believe Brown Eyes,Seo Taji,and Epic High didnt win anything. they had more album sales then all of these artists except DBSK of course.am sorry to offend but how can they not win ANYTHING when Rain,who had way less album sales won?and he cant even sing.

OMO! OMO! OMO! JaeJoong needs to NEVER, EVER wear those high waisted houndstooth pants AND the dead animal fur around his neck. His stylist should get slapped in the face for that atrocity. Even with his bare chest showing like that I just could not get over the outfit. Sometimes even the most beautiful people in the worl can’t pull off an outfit.

about buying awards. have you heard that mnet and yg are practically one company? XD

and don’t act like a loser. mkmf was good for bb. gda was good for dbsk. you don’t need to find some extra reasons for bb and dbsk’s awards. they are both good

I’m pretty sure JaeJoong can pull off any outfit but I still would prefer that he wouldn’t try out every style his stylist comes up with

 
VUDU's avatar

I really liked the WG performance. Those are some kick ass remixes.
Rain is such an entertainer. Loved that Dong Bang did “Are You A Good Girl?”. “Under my sky” is retarded as hell and it looks like the boys know it.
Wonder Generation moment ~ <3
I’m so happy Taeyeon won ~ She’s so amajing. You go Kid Leader.

@Kaybee, you could not be more wrong when you said LSM was losing money. He didn’t need to buy any of those awards.

People stop being mean to both DBSK and Big Bang.
They both are great.
Just because Big Bang didn’t win any awards , doesn’t mean they’re losers..
They won [Winners Artist of the Year] in 2008 MKMF Award.
Also allkpop.com you shouldn’t write [ Biggest Loser ] at the end.
It’s rude and Big Bang are not losers at all.
Satty , I’m not trying to be mean but you shouldn’t call Big Bang fans crybabies. It’s really rude and you’re a crybaby yourself, since you’re calling other people crybabies.
Satty you should be a shame of yourself.
And I believe DBSK wouldn’t want a fan like you , since you’re so rude !
So people stop comparing DBSK and Big Bang.
They are both great and they did their best.

okay… so people who don’t win anything usually don’t come? didn’t know that before.
jewelry for Digital Daesang? really? i would have thought Wonder Girls (So Hot? Nobody?)... well jewelry were active for the beginning of the year and they did win a lot of awards on shows for there song. haha. the beginning of the year was just so long ago. =)
GDA is kinda different from the other shows cause it isn’t categorized with the different genres and stuff. so the results are bound to be different. plus don’t they base it on album sales charts and the downloading sales charts? yeah… the winners kinda make sense if you think of the numbers?
why i think Big Bang didn’t win anything - weren’t they nominated with the Remember album? no offense but that wasn’t a very solid album as a whole. and Haru Haru? um… i liked it, but Lies is still there best song.
congrats to all the winners!

@skyeee -> Can’t you just accept the fact that SM took home five awards in total? Why does it have to be ‘fishy’?

Other artists won aswell but I don’t see you being fishy about that.

wonderful performances all around. dbsk perf was amazing. i loved the shinee intro. i actually enjoyed the WG remix. yeeun and sunye sounded amazing.
congrats to all the winners!!
LSM, you can hate the man, but you can’t deny that he created some of the biggest names in kpop. just look at dbsk and shinee this year.

@lemurturtle: there’s a relatively simple explanation for that.. cuz she sounds a heck of a lot better when she doesn’t sing live. i liked her techno remix though. it sounded really cool!

I think GDA only invites winners, which would explain why some artists didn’t attend.

i found MKMF to be more fair than Golden Disk
at least MKMF gave awards to the Artist who didnt show up.
something’s fishy about it..

To clear up some confusion:

The DISK Awards-covers ALBUM(Offline)sales. This must be a FULL LENGTH album not a mini album or single.

The DIGITAL Awards-covers Legal Downloads (Online) sales. This was instituted last year to recognize the individual RECORD (or song) sales of artists: (1) who released a full length album that did not really bring in the numbers but churned out a successful record or hit song,(2)who released a successful MINI ALBUM or single.

Winners for BONSANGS are usually ‘advice’ beforehand to allow them time to prepare for their stages. DAESANGS winners, on the other hand, are only announced on awards night. The Daesang awardee is then chosen from among the Bonsang winners from each category: Disk and Digital.

Nominees don’t usually attend because they’ve not receive the ‘advice’ on the Bonsang, or other personal circumstances.

The criteria is: 60% sales, 20% online votes, 20% judge. That’s 80% QUANTIFIABLE.

Congratulations to all the winners!

dbsk won because the judges were afraid of what could happen if they didnt.
honestly…dbsk just sold a lot of albums, had a ton of fans, and has a big name.
none of this ‘they worked hard’ crap.
EVERYONE works hard. There are people who JUST AS HARD but just dont make it. so none of that.

@ skyeee
1. Everyone that was at the GDA won an award and performed except for the 3 Shinhwa members and Kim Dongryul? (I can’t find his performance.)

2. LSM won the best producer award and he was in New York so he had to record his acceptance speech. JYP won the award LAST YEAR and he was at the GDA to receive the award.

3. DBSK sold the most albums in 2008.

4. I have a big hint that you’re a dumbass. End of story.

@byul1232
i agree…
-EVERYONE else had to FLY back AND forth from japan to korea almost EVERY SINGLE DAY and perform the SAME day they just got off the plane.
-EVERYONE also had to have TWO completely different concerts going on.
-EVERYONE also had to get bashed by netizens because they cant be in two award shows AND country at the same time.
-EVERYONE also are expected to be GODS for their comeback.
-EVERYONE also did the said comeback when all of them were sick and antis were still bashing them for their “SICK” voices.
hell yeah. dbsk is just like everybody else.
damn. where is EVERYONE?! =____=

 
Lady Tee's avatar

@byul1232 -> So are you hating DBSK because they’re popular? Is there a singer/group you like that isn’t popular so therefore you’re knocking off the ones that are?

HOLD ON…If the judges were scared, how come DBSK didn’t win big at the MKMF?

Stop looking for excuses and just accept the fact that they won.

@annameg -> LOL…I’m asking the same question too! Your comment is epic-win, seriously!
