K-pop fans can't believe this top female artist never won the Daesang at the Seoul Music Awards

AKP STAFF

The Seoul Music Awards is a major award show in Korea that began in 1990 and annually awards various artists for their achievements in the year. 

The award winners are selected based on the combined criteria of music sales results, popular votes, and expert opinions. Over the years, many popular artists such as EXO, BTS, and Lee Hyori took home the Daesang. NCT Dream won the Daesang for the 2022 Seoul Music Awards, with over 30 artists receiving an award.

But recently, many were surprised that a top female artist had not won any Daesangs despite the immense popularity she has been garnering for the past few years.

IU has been recognized for her music and has become one of the top female artists in South Korea. Despite being one of the top female artists, she never received a Daesang at the Seoul Music Awards.

Many K-pop fans were left surprised to find that she has not won a single Daesang even though she has received seven awards at one of the biggest music awards in Korea.

K-pop fans commented, "I think there isn't much difference between her music sales with Taeyeon, it seems like she lives on a different planet or something," "If she was an SM artist, she would have won 10 times," "Wow, is this for real?" "I think it doesn't matter if she doesn't receive this one award because she's won so many," "This award show is already infamous for being rigged," "She doesn't need this award," "She didn't get the grand award for MAMA either I think," "I think it was legendary how they gave Taeyeon the Daesang when IU and BTS had better results," and "If she wanted the Daesang at the Seoul Music Awards, then she should have joined SM."

Just goes to show that awards don't equate to success. She and her music are loved by many, with or without a Daesang. (She still deserves one though, just for the record.)

IU is an amazing Star! 🤩 With 315 nominations and 131 wins, she can do without this reward. (...in my opinion)
