2008 Seoul Music Awards

The Big Winners at the annual Seoul Music Awards were Big Bang. VIP'ers had a lot to be proud of as their boys took home three awards including the: "Digital Music Award", "Top Artist Award", and the top award "Artist of the Year". Some other notable award winners were Super Junior, SG Wannabe, SeeYa, MC The Max, and Epik High. Girl's Generation, Wonder Girls, and FT Island also won the Rookie of the Year Awards. Baek Ji Young, surprisingly won an award as well. It seems the public is looking past the sex scandal vixen's past deeds.

All I know is that these artists better watch out. There's a growing Monster in Beauty & The Beast. It's only a matter of time before the dynamic duo win the Artist of the Year Award.

Here is a video of Big Bang's award speech:

They never base winners on talent, but w/e, they did have a lot more activity than others, so good for them…

LOL! It’s funny how Wonder Girls had to share their award with SNSD & FT Island when they’re leading the poll. I guess the saying’s still true after all..."whoever attends the show gets the award” LOL

Nothing is funny about WG had to share the award.
When they first debut, Irony is only a so so song. Sorry Heart is a flop. They have to replace a member. They only reach enormous stardom after the Tell Me fever. It takes them almost half a year to reach the popularity they have today.
While, F.T Island and SNSD enjoy extreme popularity right when they debut, at the very first moment. They both produce some #1 hit after a very short time span.
And these type of awards show used to give out more than one award for the rookies, so it’s very understandable how WG had to share THE award with SNSD and FT Island.

Edit: Not to mention WG’s album sales is not the brightest among the rookies’s either…

mmm taeyeon was looking hot. Big Bang deserved the awards. When was the last time you looked at the charts and big bang weren’t there?

big bagn deserve it..they had so many songs this year...like 5

It’s still funny because it’s was decided by phone voting ONLY and WG were leading the poll.  What’s the point of having the vote if you’ll probably get 2nd or 3rd place eh? But at least it’s fair that WG still gets it when they were not present at the ceremony unlike MKMF.

big bang is so over-rated… i guess their rise to fame is due to the lack of other decent artists in the industry, as well as blind fan-girls.. oh well.

What? I thought Korea has forgotten about Baek Ji Young’s sex tape- especially with her awesome ballads and IVY’s new break to make up for Baek’s…

Anyway, yay snsd raspberry

@e112

???? Are you dreaming? WG won some award at MKMF. SNSD is the one that didn’t win at MKMF. Get your fact straight!
The point is that there is no second and third place, and there are 3 #1 places. It may take you awhile to understand this situation but i think with an above average IQ, pp will get it...eventually. So don’t worry.

@Mana...Hello! Since when did I point out that SNSD did get the award at MKMF?  You should learn how to read properly before telling someone else to get their fact straight! You’re probably one of those people that have a below average IQ for a start.

I’m talking about how MKMF blindly gave some awards to other artists in place of others that were not present at the ceremony. And I said that Seoul Gayo Awards was fair enough to gave one to WG who was absent at the time.

Well then you should learn how to write, b/c:
“But at least it’s fair that WG still gets it when they were not present at the ceremony unlike MKMF.”
=
“MKMF didn’t give IT to WG since they weren’t there!”

And i’m not say that you have an IQ below average either, open your eyes and learn how to READ
“The point is that there is no second and third place, and there are 3 #1 places. It may take you awhile to understand this situation but i think with an above average IQ, pp will get it...eventually. So don’t worry.”

But hey, if somehow you think you have an IQ below average, and decide to bite me back, then hey...ok, good for YOU.

What I mean is that MKMF was not being fair like Seoul Gayo jeez.  And b/c I didn’t typed everything down doesn’t mean that you know what I’m really talking about.

I agree that big Bang does deserve the award
because they worked hard for it.
I really didn’t want other artists like SuJu or SNSD to win it.

@bobacious
dont all singers do that? u mean like background voices right?
either way
they dance and sing at the same time, that must be tiring! (im not saying that they’re the only ones that do that either.)
