Spoiler: Notes -I will update it, you probably won't find a list more complete than this so if you want to know about daesangs this is your thread. -Only the 5 most important awards (MAMA, MMA, KMA, GDA and SMA) because there's a really big difference in relevance between these shows and the others. If i include all the daesangs which means literally the most important prize, the numbers would be higher mainly for the biggest groups such as SNSD or Exo, but i don't find it fair to compare a daesang in the SMA to the main prize of the Korean cable tv awards lmao. If some shows such as AAA keeps growing and become important i may include them, but not now. -The date of the daesangs aren't when they receive it. It shows what is being awarded. For example Exo won their last SMA daesang in 2017, but it was in january and it was obviously because of their successful 2016, so in the list it's going to be in 2016. -If i have doubts about how i should do something, i'll probably change the poll to ask you all about your opinions, so please participate! -After the daesang list there're some other things like the artist with more awards in each show, in each year... That you might find interesting. -If you see any mistake or have any doubt please tell me! I'll answer you as soon as i can. -Also if you want to talk about daesangs or a little about awards in this thread you can too, so feel free to do it.

Since the SMA give Soty and Album of the year (until 2019) which are really important awards but they just consider the Artist of the year a daesang, i decided if an artist won Soty/Aoty i'll write it too with a ''+1'' or ''+2''... depending on how many times they won one of these 2 awards. Just counting artists that have at least 2 daesangs in total and 1 daesang of these awards Exo - 8+1 BTS - 7+2 Girls Generation - 6+1 PSY - 5+1 Jo Sung Mo - 5 Kim Gun Mo - 5 Super Junior - 4 Bigbang - 3+2 TVXQ - 3 HOT - 3 SG Wannabe - 3 Byeon Jin-seob - 3 Kyha and the faces - 3 IU - 2+3 Cho Yong Pil - 2+1 Seo Taiji and Boys - 2 Shin Seung-hun - 2 Seoul Electric Band - 2 Lee Juck - 2 Lee Tzsche - 2 Wonder girls - 1+1 Twice - 1+1 Ikon - 1+1 Boa - 1+1 Big Mama - 1 2AM - 1 Lee Hyori - 1 GOD - 1 Taeyang - 1 Spoiler: Miscellaneous facts -The most daesangs won by an artist in 1 year are 11 by BTS in 2019. -The only groups that have won a daesang in the KMA are Snsd, Bigbang and BTS. -Snsd is the only female group that has won the GDA Disk daesang. -BTS is the only group that has won the KMA Musician of the year daesang -BTS is the bg with more daesangs, 27. -Girls generation is the gg with more daesangs, 10. -PSY is the male soloist with more daesangs, 7. -IU is the female soloist with more daesangs, 5. -BTS is the only artist that won all the daesangs of the same show, winning 4 in MAMA and MMA 2019 and both daesangs in GDA 2019 -Exo has the record of more years in a row winning daesangs, 5 (2013-2017) -Bigbang won the 4 Soty of 2015 with 3 different songs (Bang bang bang twice, Loser and Bae bae) -Snsd won 10 daesangs and Super junior 7 despite the issue between SM and Mnet that didn't let them have the possibility of winning a total of 6 daesangs in MAMA during 2009 and 2010, the peak of both groups. -The boys won a GDA soty despite being released in the 2nd half of October. -Gangnam style is the only song that has won the 4 Soty daesangs. (Gee couldn't due to Mnet) -Map of the soul: Persona is the most awarded album with 5 daesangs. -Girls generation, BTS and SG Wannabe are the only artists that won both daesangs in GDA. -Jang Kiha and the Faces is the only artist that has won all the daesangs in KMA. -Girls generation and Bigbang are the only groups that have won daesangs, and they've members that won daesangs too.

Get this one pinned as well. This is mostly going to be active during award season which is starting now but I guess it is good to have a thread where people can have discussions about the daesangs.
People should stop asking for separation of daesangs based on gender because it is evident that you win daesangs regardless of the gender looking at the OP. There is a reason why SNSD is #3 alongside Big Bang & 2NE1 is #7 alongside TVXQ for the most daesangs. Big Bang & TVXQ are two of the greatest korean boy groups of all time just like SNSD & 2NE1 being two of the greatest girl groups. Question other circumstances why your faves are not winning daesangs rather than deflecting the topic to "gender criteria".
I wonder why MMA decided to leave out the Record of the Year daesang this year. BTS now have 34 daesangs from the Big 5 award shows. I think they will snatch 2-4 more from GDA/SMA and maybe 1 from the KMA. For a total of 36-39 daesangs after this award season is over. Next year, I can see IU taking 2/3 daesangs at MMA since she will most likely come back first quarter of 2021.
