The ‘26th Golden Disk Awards‘ is being heavily criticized for its decision to take the show to Osaka, Japan.
Sponsored by Ilgan Sports and jTBC, the Golden Disk Awards booked the Osaka Kyocera Dome, a decision that many Korean fans failed to understand. When the location was first announced in October, netizens questioned, “It was Koreans who bought the albums, so why is it being held in Japan?” and“Now they’re asking us to go all the way to Japan to watch the show?”
Despite the criticisms, organizers went ahead and set up the show in Japan.
Many continued to complain about the ceremony, arguing that they couldn’t see why Japan was relevant to the awards when sales figures were calculated from Korea only. Additionally, organizers opted for an indoor baseball stadium instead of a regular concert hall, resulting in more expensive tickets.
If fans could afford to go, they’d be buying tickets worth $178 USD a piece. Since the show is held over a course of two days, the price doubles, bringing the total to $356 USD, a hefty number for young wallets. The ticket prices itself have brought about new waves of criticisms about how the show was trying to use the Hallyu wave for their financial benefit.
Although the Golden Disk Awards has a prestigious history of being a ‘fair awards ceremony’ due to its standard of ‘sales, not popularity’, many have begun to question that reputation as well. This year, the non-attendance of YG and JYP Entertainment artists as well as the exclusion of JYJ drew concerns of fairness.
The show will still go on, however, and the festivities will broadcast through jTBC on January 21st and 22nd as a Lunar New Year special. Of course, this stemmed another issue as well, as many fans felt they should have a chance to see it live on TV, and not through a recorded version one week later.

“Although the Golden Disk Awards has a prestigious history of being a ‘fair awards ceremony’ due to its standard of ‘sales, not popularity”
since when cause if they were, jyj would have been on the show long time ago.
Also why YG and JYP didn’t attend… anyone knows.
anyone knows?
Damn like yg entertainment but y they not attending smh something smells fishy
I have read somewhere that YGEntertainment sells their albums from the yg store completely and the GDA doesn’t like this as they want them to sell from 3rd party distributors. But the YG Ceo wont change his methods and so his artists never get GDA awards. I think it shouldn’t matter where you sell from, especially since big bang sold a lot this year both digitally and physically. Its weird that they are not recognized and awarded for that fact considering they are one of the biggest hallyu acts.
Everyone knows GDA has always been an SM thing and completely biased in their favor so it isn’t much of a surprise i guess. I don’t know how there is hope for JYJ being at any of these sketchy awards ceremonies when artists that aren’t cock-blocked and easily appear on broadcasts have unfair systems against them as well.
Also, who cares if they don’t receive an award that’s not even very legit from the get go? I want JYJ to be recognized as much as the next person but its not as if these awards are particularly fair or prestigious anyway. The GDA should just stop referring to itself as the ‘korean grammy’s’ because it isn’t.
is a complete surprise to me. big bang is most famous so i thought korean scene will be filled with them but its always filled with SM artists surprisingly
@x.Chihiro
” Everyone knows GDA has always been an SM thing and completely biased in their favor so it isn’t much of a surprise i guess.”
But some are refuting this as 2vxq is not nominated as well. And it appears that not having BigBang and 2vxq neutralizes the exclusion of JYJ.
Since 2009 YG ent decided to not attend this award because they think GDA is unimportant.. esp.since TVXQ split..
@Kris
I dont know why 2vxq wasn’t present…for some reason i thought that Homin would be reaping in all the awards this year, that sme would rig everything in their favour just as an eff-you we can do just as well/better without you to JYJ.
But yea there is a part II to this award ceremony so maybe Homin will be there?
Also I don’t think the fact that 2vxq/BB weren’t there should make it anymore okay that JYJ wasn’t…
@chihiro: according to AKP article
when they announce nominee
for GDA there’s no HoMin name
on the list. even for digital
album.. so im not sure that they
will attend. that’s why that bcome
a big Q. .
Really? Huh. that’s weird…I don’t know why SME would that then…
I think 2vxq is SM’s sacrificial lamb this year to let SJ win the award, just to pacify ELF fandom. Also, I believe GDA has a no appearance no award policy and Homin can’t certainly go to the award show since they are having their fan meeting somewhere. Now, whether the fan meeting was scheduled because they were not nominated or because they are making an excuse not to go only the DEVIL knows.
Why do we bother anyway? We know that this awards are rig from the start and JYJ will not be recognized. I’m just giddy that SNSD fans and SJ fans are trolling each other…
That’s because SM wants Super Junior to win. Since Mr. Simple may be their last major album as a group.
I don’t think SM cares about Super Junior winning, if you know anything about super juniors career then you’ll know that they are just the rejects, the leftovers of the group of trainees that were all vying to be TVXQ. SM let them become a group and debut because they practically begged LSM and then SM was surprised that people liked this 13 member group. The only people who have ever cared about Super Junior is their fandom…ELFs hate SME almost as much as JYJ fans
And Super Junior won because they sold the most albums out of any other artist this year in SK.
I don’t get why people complain when super junior wins..even though they aren’t a particularly talented group of people their fandom is composed of people willing to buy 10 copies of the same album just with a different cover x__x I have never seen dedication (insanity?) like that. No offense but i wouldn’t buy 10 copies of a stellar album like In Heaven, i just don’t have money to burn like that. One is enough for me.
I think SM wants SJ to win this year indeed, although it used to give a lot of resources in promoting DB5K in the past. Last year, SJ are extremely popular in Taiwan and in China (perhaps in many other places as well) and I saw each ELF buying like 10 copies of the version A of Mr Simple, followed by version B and C. And that explains why SJ sold so many copies of Mr Simple.
SJ has become a cash cow for SM. Although SM may not treat their artists well, it loves money. I feel sorry its artists, and am glad that JYJ left the company. For me, I think In Heaven is the best album in 2011 and I like Keep Your Head Down too, though both didn’t win.
@JYJfanboy “I’m just giddy that SNSD fans and SJ fans are trolling each other…”
This made me lol. A reminder that other fandoms have fanwar troubles too, not just us ; )
GDA is a joke. Prestigious and fair in THEIR DREAMS !
is not joke , but the biggest joke ever.
Golden SM award!! I am so surprised that a billionare like LSM is not ashamed of boasting about this kind of predecided awards … U know what i mean?? Even if i get promotion cuz i give a huge buck of undertable money (bribe, i would say), i will be too ashamed to tell others that i get pormoted… It is not like ppl do not have eyes, ya know what i mean??
Not forgetting most of his billions came from DBSK
Ha! Some people’s ego are getting so much bigger than their heads! Not that their heads contains too many brains cells in the first place!
“Arrogance diminishes wisdom”
“Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.”
Can’t wait!
Honestly, if JYJ gets any awards, good.
If not, as long as their bank account are full, I don’t really care.
Unless of coz those idols can pawn their trophies when they need $$$. 😛
Exactly.
Those idols can get hundreds of trophies, but does it really matter if obviously they get the trophy mostly because their agency influence? Does it really matter if they could get hundreds of trophies but their pocket are empty? Lol. No offense.
I’m just happy JYJ bank account are full, they still can sing (even only in overseas) , they received awards because of their talents, by their own sweat and hardworks.
@Shadow
“Unless of coz those idols can pawn their trophies when they need $$$.”
Not if those trophies are made of tin & covered in gold foil…. 😉
LIKE!
hmm still as aritst it is their goal to win trophies and JYJ deserve to win trophies. They been through hell and deserve to get rewarded.
An artist goal is NOT to win trophies, my dear.
It’s to be recognized and appreciated for their talents.
Getting trophies is just one of the ways to be appreciated, yes!
But it also depends on how fair the award system is.
If it’s like distributing pieces of the meat to various companies and their idols, then where’s the honor in that?
If JYJ never wins anything from now on, are we gonna assume they are not good enough?
“Not the quarry, but the chase, Not the trophy, but the race”
Yes, JYJ deserve to win some awards for their music. But not in award shows like GDA, which is obviously rigged.
@catherine
“still as artist it is their goal to win trophies and JYJ deserve to win trophies”
I beg to disagree, as a music artist/s the goal is to provide good entertainment through good music and performance and expand your horizon, awards are just the “icing on the cake” so to speak. An award is a way to recognize artists’ effort but it’s not THE only way to recognize them. As for idols, that another story, awards is needed to validate them whether they are crappy as hell or not.
okay to the ones that replied to my comment. I am saying that JYJ deserves to win an award. What kpop artist first of all stand up against their company? None did and JYJ wasn’t afraid of leaving SM. The boys were tired of the abuse. JYJ write their own songs like true artist. Their dream is to get on stage again and they deserve too but why can’t they? Bcus of SM. Yes trophies are just possession but think about it. Deep down inside JYJ would like to at least win one as JYJ that way it will prove to all those fucking haters that hate JYJ and SM that them as a trio can do this. Understand now?
@catherine
Ohh~ thanks for the ‘lecture’.
If you had said that in the beginning instead of “hmm still as aritst it is their goal to win trophies…”, we will have comprehend it a lot better.
Just saying~
@shadow
Agree,as well as JYJ’s music sells and their talent getting paid ,who cares about awards.They opened our eyes to the dark side of SK ent industry.I don’t pay attention to the idols or artists other than JYJ anymore.
Hahaha….well said.
also SNSD didn’t attend!
Did it already happen? SNSD was probably not getting a big shiny award so they SME chose not to let them attend.
Err… so?
So? I believe SNSD didn’t attend because SME who told them to do so. Not because they were excluded or something. I don’t care anyway.
But seriously, no YG and JYP + JYJ ?? GDA is the most ridiculous awards this year. GDA is a JOKE.
SNSD didnt Attend Cause they Want F(X) Popular for This year…. as we know that f(X) is not populer like their other artist….. they want all of their artis is Populer…
GDA is A JOKE….
LSM try to Create That……………….
Look How much SUJU take????…….
HahahHAHhHAhhh…
ookay who’s f(x)?
f(x) is artist SM their Debut Since 2009… ( if i am Not wrong),, they want all of their artist shining…
@dolta
Good that i am not alone.. 😀 Even Suju and SNSD i only know them recently and i dont know all the members.. 😛
new girl band from SMEnt..
SM artist are DBSK, BOA, TRAX, the Grace, (Shinhwa, H.o.t,->Broke up Now)SUPER JUNIOR, SNSD, SHINEE, F(X), and with their New Boy BAnd who name EXCO….
SNSD will attend in “part 2”. I’m sure.
yeahhh… I am Sure that… NINE OF SURGERY PLASTIC>……:)…
the GOLDEN CHILD OF LEE SOO MAN….
@Stella
They are not the only 9 plastic looking barbie dolls, right?? 🙂
Recently i happened to watch Arrirang and KBS world.. All the facess i see are so plastic looking… I dont know who they are and from which company.. Even guys use too much make up and surgery… >.< Not my taste honestly… even if they smile, the mouth is open wide but the face has no expression.. 😦 not my taste at all.. Sorry..
Why are you bashing SNSD for being “plastic”? What is it to you if they are made of silicon parts or not? They aren’t artists, they are SME idols and their selling point is that they are pretty and sing catchy songs. Their Wikipedia lists them as pop singers…”bubble-gum pop” singers. What were you expecting then? Bjork or Karen O?
Some are natural, others had some touch-ups. So? You are beyond shallow if you think you can write off a person for having had plastic surgery. They sell their personality, their “pretty faces” that is true, it was their choice. That is their job. If you don’t like it no one is forcing you to listen to them or even acknowledge them.
@MIA2
I am not sure if u r angry with what i said or something else.. I am not saying those who went for plastic surgery are shallow or so.. For me, I can sense if someone did surgery.. Well, my assumption might not give 100% accuracy but more than 80% i guess… Cuz those who went for plastic surgery or using some artificial stuffs to change their face look very different… Cuz they change the nature, there is a big flaw… I know most of Korean artists go for eyelid and nose surgery.. they think they will look good if they make their nose higher… but in fact they look weird to me as the top part of the nose is flat and the lower part is high… Well, as i say.. I am not criticizing them as wrong or shallow.. I am just expressing how i feel…. And if it sounds like criticism, I dont really care cuz this is not SNSD and other artist’s site… I am not doing things like come to JYJ3 and criticize JYJ… I think it is ok to just express how I feel towards other artists like what other ppl do…
I think same goes for Stella.. I believe she is just expressing her feeling on SNSD… And I think it is ok and she didnt offend them as this is not SNSD site… like what others did at JYJ3… So please read comments as comments and please dont be too sensitive,, 🙂
@nandar
I wasn’t replying to you since you simply stated that the new girl idols aren’t to your taste. That is an opinion but “Nine of Surgery Plastic” is not an opinion. It is a flat out insult with the insinuation that you are somehow “less” because you opted to get a fix-up. (Interesting due to the debates over whether JJ ever had plastic surgery) If any of those girls had plastic surgery (and I think maybe 4 of them did) that is their business. If Yoochun for example, ever had plastic surgery I would not use that as something against him. If he sang horribly and had a rude attitude then that is a different story but his personal life decisions wouldn’t be grounds for me to dismiss him.
You are right that this isn’t an SNSD site (thank God!) but I still fail to see how that excuses rudeness towards them masquerading as “opinions”. I don’t like their music, I don’t like their company and I can’t stand a good deal of them. I only think 3 of them are worth anything to that group and yet I still don’t bring them up as “comparisons” for JYJ because I know they aren’t in the same league. They have different goals and different methods in completely different situations. If they win a Golden Disk I couldn’t care less because it has already been established that these are phony awards so where does the plastic surgery fit in to this?
All award shows cater to the whims of SME now. It is difficult to find any other groups receiving the awards at the level SME artists do. And this is not due to fanbase size.
Of course SME fanbases would be larger. They have taken over every TV station in S.Korea. Others don’t get the same chances SME idols do because SME fills broadcasters pockets with ‘money’. And probably behind the scenes money too. There is nothing special that SME idols do that any other idol groups cannot do anymore. The only difference between SME’s groups and other companies groups is the brandname ‘SME’…..if SME were not attached to these groups then they wouldn’t be as popular.
Leaving aside the issue of JYJ not being included (even though it is totally wrong), all these award shows are completely rigged. It feels like an exclusive SME-idol show with pity-showings of other idol-group. It is is sad to say, but I don’t think anyone will doubt that if SME says no to something, then the broadcasters have to change their mind too. It is ridiculous. It has come to the point where I wonder if let’s say any other group started selling more than SME groups in physical copies……if SME would play dirty tricks to hinder them. *sighs* they probably would.
I really really really dislike dirty business.
no dear.. isn’t about SME idol.. *im not 2VXQ biassed* but everyone is shocked, why TVXQ isn’t include.. so im not sure what kind of calculating GDA use..
@Putrihs
If i can have a chance to discuss my 1 cent advice… 🙂 GDA is organized by XXXX organization/company (I dont know who are organizers).. Infact SM is the one who make all the decisions and arrangement (thats what i think) on who will win award this year, where shall we do the ceremony, how shall do the show, who will present in the show, etc…. Even if all these are decided by XXXX company, I believe SM can overruled the decision.. So why SNSD or 2VXQ is not included will be only answerable by LSM…
I might be wrong.. And may be i think this way cuz i have been blinding hating K.Entertainment industry, Broadcasting Stations due to what they did to JYJ.. If so , forgive me for being narrowminded…
@nandar: no.. ur not narrow.. honestly I’m also not sure about the credibility of GDA. many people think they are the ones of SM people. there is one opinion that said, 2VXQ name was deliberately withdrawn from the list of nominations but SM did not want to explain why. so yeah I’m sure SM can put any name they want, including F (x) which only sold 50,000 copies and still win. I was thinking about SM did not interfere in the judging of GDA, because based on experience 2VXQ was the SM golden boy compare to SuJu. that’s everyone question, whether SM start getting rid to 2VXQ? I’m not too hopeful SM will pay more attention to the welfare of their artist.. based on experience with JYJ. but in the end, SM always about money rite?
yeah..me too..when I see the nominated I’ve surprized..coz I haven’t see TVXQ there..its really joke..!!!
The whole K music scene is becoming a joke. And I am serious. Before long these awards becomes unbelievable and in everyone gags and joke punch.It is such a pity when something started out with prestige and watered down to what it is now. Really greed .that’s what it is. Korea pop culture advancement can only suffer in the end. It is in fact happening right this moment. It really need a wake up call ..
THIS.
Everybody who goes to a Korean award ceremony gets an award.
What kinda bullsheesh is that?
Not just in music but also in drama awards ceremonies, remember the SBS rookie award? Jaejoong got a rookie award but then they just had to go and give it to 9 other people including that random suzy girl from miss a.
Honestly what is that? No prestige whatsoever.
cmiiw, but SBS rookie award is always like that, they have multiple winners for new stars category. prestige or not, i think that’s a way to appreciate new actors/actresses who have contributed in good rating or overseas export. and suzy got the award from KBS, not SBS. and since Dream High has quiet high rating, i think it’d be weird if she didn’t win any award. also, in 2010, joowon didn’t got any single trophy KBS drama award even though he’s present (and he sang along when jyj perform “chajatta” too, kke, okay that’s totally unrelated). joowon got his share of award this year though.
but one thing is sure, if you don’t attend this drama award, don’t expect to win anything. what a shame that yoo seungho didn’t win anything for WBDS when 1-he’s the main cast, 2-it has fairly good rating.
as for music award, some awards like Melon and MAMA this year also gave awards to those not present at the award.
I’m sorry but the whole “SBS rookie award is always like that” excuse is getting real old. Just because something has “always been that way” doesn’t mean its OK. I think we of all people should know that by now. This utterly stupid manner of presenting awards takes away the prestige and mixes the talented and the “un-talented-but-popular” together.
Rewarding new-comers? So to make some untalented new comer happy *cough Goo Hara cough* we should give her the same award as someone who actually shows potential? I still fail to see the logic behind this system.
@MIA2: uhm, i didn’t say that i support the decision of those awards handing out “unprestigious” award. i merely stated what i know here since x.Chihiro said something about “Jaejoong got a rookie award but then they just had to go and give it to 9 other people including that random suzy girl from miss a” — they don’t “just had to go”, it’s already like that since before, i bet they even planned to give award to more than one since before. well, over all, the ones who got new stars award from SBS this year are pretty good, and so are the ones from last year, and the year before. jaejoong, wang jihye, the guys from WBDS, seo hyorim, shin sekyung, those rookies from new tales of gisaeng, etc… they didn’t win basically just because they attend the award. and fairly enough, goo hara’s acting is not far worse than suzy’s acting, also not far worse than that girl starring in that daily drama who once guested in strong heart. their dramas’ rating are good, that’s probably the reason. shame on that? yeah, shame on that. and yes, i prefer 2009 one more prestigious with them only handing out awards to five or six *i forgot* rookie awards, or something like KBS drama award one.
but i kinda understand with the decision. it’s not only regarding the new actors/actresses, if the dramas awarded by tons of award, the likelihood of exporting the dramas will be higher. if they ever release dvd, the dvd will also entitled with this “award” title, that’s also one good promotion. and please do note that this is not award presented by some award institution. unlike GDA, this is their very own broadcasting company drama award. you can imagine SM award or YG award musical wise. when we’re talking about blue dragon or baeksang award, then that’s a different matter. again, prestige or not, the awarded title will forever be noted in that respective drama’s achievement. and the actors/actresses’ achievement too.
cmiiw.
@noi
Thank you for clearing that up for me. I can’t get enthusiastic about ANY Korean awards except maybe for musicals. If many people can receive the same award that just isn’t right. I’ve seen Goo Hara (in City Hunter) and she is ~OK but I wouldn’t compare her to the others and yet they are all getting the same award.
On a similar note, It is also strange that people claim serious corruption in music ceremonies/awards and yet get all excited when their favorites win. How can you be sure they even deserve it if the competition can be barred from appearing?
such a crazy award..worthless x__X
Yeah, this is based on Korean sales, I don’t get it why they have to perform all the way to Japan. They should do it in some part in Korea, give a discount airplane ticket to fans or give a giveway ticket like Seoul Music Award and promote Korea tourism more. Now they’re mere pursuing for more money from Japan fans or rich Korean fans… wtf. But seriously, no YG idols? Not even IU? They triumphed digital sales! And yeah, so no award for digital sales now? Because that’s what SM idols lack? Heh. I know that K-award is hardly credible, but this is really getting out of hand….
errr… wait, this is only Part 1. maybe the Part 2 a bit fairer… but i don’t think so
ooookkaaayy. this is the part 2 anyway for thus who want to know: http://www.allkpop.com/2012/01/winners-from-the-26th-golden-disk-awards-part-2, and don’t worry, SNSD guaranteed their own sweet spot.
random: i know that technically miss A is in AQ ent, but considering how their song begin with “this… is JYP production”, this isn’t completely JYP-less award i guess. oh i love how suzy is pretty. kke.
I thought my eyes tricked on me poor korean fans they buy the disks but show held in Japan and they don’t even get live
That only shows the hunger and thirst of the Korean entertainment business for the Japanese yen! Seems like they are willing to send all their products to Japan and just spare a little to their Korean consumers.
There is a saying…”you teach people how to treat you”…and if the Korean fans who pay good money to support their artists allow this kind of treatment, then they deserve what they get. When you are continually disrespected and still feed at the trough, don’t be surprised when the water starts to taste foul. There simply is no other way to say this. These entities do this kind of thing because they know they can get away with it.
Unfortunately, SK equates ego with accomplishment. No the two don’t always go hand in hand. One can accomplish great things and not necessarily have an ego as big as the world. Sometimes the ego of that person is farther below the surface. I’m looking at this situation and seeing so many things.
SK wants to impress the Japanese with their Hallyu Wave. SK wants to be known more internationally. But if your product is lacking, then all the glitter in the world won’t keep it shining. So, they are producing flawed merchandise. The fans and others who are complaining can send one resounding message, DON’T SHOW UP! But what is the likelihood of that happening? If they can convince the Japanese that their product is all that, well now, goody for SK. But why oh why do they not reciprocate in return? Why is this a one way street?
As long as SK’s music industry allows SME to run amok and get away with this kind of nonsense, then they will never achieve the kind of status they desire. With all this mess, I’m still in a quandry to understand how these companies EVER agreed to form a united agency – UAM. I’m still wondering how this is going to work out.
When your history begins to get this shaky, this early, this does not bode well at all. Credibility is in short supply here. If the artists who wind up being touted under these kinds conditions have to really compete in the world market for recognition, I don’t see them having any luck to be honest.
MUMMY-HEN!!!!!! ♥♥♥ I missed you.
Hi Sweetie. Yes, my pc is working again. I have a few minor adjustments to make. Will probably tackle them this weekend. We have our first 3-day weekend coming up for MLK holiday. Did you get my email letting you guys know about my pc issues? I was able to access my email from work.
“These entities do this kind of thing because they know they can get away with it.”
THIS! I’m tired of listening to idiots complain about how their favorites are treated and then they turn around and buy more albums, attend the concerts etc. Umm…weren’t you just complaining about how so and so company is overworking your favorite? Why are still supporting this? And they always reply that it they don’t show support their favorite will be treated even worse.
I wonder though, for how long will they “punish” your favorite if you all banded together and stopped giving your money to this company. See how long their mistreatment lasts once their funds are cut short. The consumer has the ultimate power and yet they are the biggest chumps in the game.
@MIA2
I liken this situation to our auto industry here in the States. For years, the U.S. auto industry thumbed their noses at consumers wanting safer, more fuel efficient, all around better cars. No matter how much asking, pleading was done, nothing changed. The car makers thought they didn’t have to listen to anyone. Gas guzzlers that were designed the way they wanted to design them were the rule.
Enter Japan with autos that fit the needs, wants and desires of the buying public. Guess where those buyers went? They chose the companies that were giving them what they wanted. Competition is a heady thing. It causes you to sit up and take notice. Granted it took a while but slowly Detroit began getting on the bandwagon. By that time, it was almost too late. The foreign car began to overtake the domestic, the rest as they say is history. Detroit was brought to her knees by consumers telling THEM to go take a hike. My mama always used to say, “hard times will make a monkey eat red pepper.” He will wind up doing all kinds of things to get back to where he wants to go.
The major obstacle I see is the cultural aspect. Those in the East do not appear to be willing to be as assertive as consumers in the West. The guilt factor is played like a Stradivarius, therefore, no one is willing to call these bastards on it. Until this is changed, I don’t see improvement. So the fans of all these artists, SME’s in particular, can only expect more of the same…status quo. Chain jerking is something these bloodsuckers are good at. This is why the idol model is good only as a one way street. As long as it prevails, this is what fandoms can expect, lousy treatment of both the artist and their fans.
For JYJ, this is not an issue. Thank goodness.
It’s pretty obvious that if the GDA’s had any credibility to begin with, they’ve just thrown that out the door. Holding the award show in Japan is obviously a cash grab manoeuvre. & if they are happy to kiss SM’s butt & exclude other agencies acts for such minor reasons, then there is no fairness in the awards to begin with.
The idol industry seems to use a multitude of pathetic & complicated reasons to excuse the unfairness of their awards/charts etc. When really, for me at least, their reasoning leaves every bit as much a bad taste as their motivations do. I do not like being treated like a brainless moron.
Gosh, you so suck. Go to hell.
@chihiro: according to AKP article when they announce nominee for GDA there’s no HoMin name on the list. even for digital album.. so im not sure that they will attend. that’s why that bcome a big Q..
Since when an Award Ceremony is fair if it does not lay down its ground rules firmly and squarely on the KPI of each category of each title. There are straight forward results like the digital & album sales. Popularity award by voting…as long as it is not rigged by computer software program.
With exclusion of artists due to external and internal pressure, already show how an unfair award it is!
JYJ does not need such an award. Instead, JYJ has given us fan, an award each! to me, The Beginning, their Room, In Heaven, these albums are awards to me!
Uhm…don’t they think Japanese fans would think ” hey, isn’t this a scam,” if not even the most popular bands show up? Seriously, I was in the camp that SM like any other large corporation meticulously planning every move; TVXQ split divide and conquer, conflicts post split with lies, starving the artist by blocking performances, delaying and postponing the outcome, all reads like excerpts from the ” Art of War.” (If you are not familiar with the “Art of War,” it is a famous ancient Chinese war strategy book that even modern business majors are required to be familiar with). I am not saying that their planning is good for they definitely forgot to heed the warning that “those who use the strategy risk conquering only themselves!” I think the greed has gone to their heads, all I see now is stupidity.
GDA is the biggest joke ever in 2012..maybe.. hehehehe…
they held it in Japan coz they want the money so bad, so, this award just bussiness. the credibility and the fair judge “based on sales ranked” just to be slogan.
and far more,,, I dont get it, why the winner crying over at the stage WHEN they know this award is just because their management, not their own achievement??? thats soo ridiculous and laughable,,
and all of this, just became a drama… just GDA drama.. kekeke..
I know.. It is so funny that they cried after they won the award knowing that this award is just for them this year… It reminds me of Our Junsu’s “watching like Sit com”..
¡¡This is outrageous!! ¡¡These people……..I just can’t stand their sttuborness, arrogance and idiocy!! 😦 Even behaving against their own people, against the ones who bought their artists products……….. ¡If it would be me, I’d never buy a single thing from them again!!!
I hope my SM stan friend know about this. Really.. I dont like when she talked how great SM, how great their family ties, bla bla.. they just used fans.. they just show the family ties through their camera. not in the real life.
why they let JYJ go as their want if they think JYJ is their child??? omona! its make me.. and why they overworked their snsd child?? just for papa money??
and why they keep shinee perform without onew in japan??
I really hope and really want this article and everything behind GDA open my friends
eyes and all the sm stans.. really, they just used by SM… ckckck

@ stella
thank you!
yeah, I don’t get the point with this ‘korean grammy award’… what a funny and totally lame joke –”
why did they cry? :O hahaha, the should have known that it’s an unfair award. How could they become so happy when there’s no great rival around? No 2VXQ, JYJ, Big Bang, 2PM… It just feels like you’re going to a math Olympic for senior high and your rival is just an elementary school students LOL
@ stella : Im not elf, even sj fans,
and Im a fan of dbsk 5 to, until they break up and I choose to support JYJ, and not support Homin.
so.. Im sorry if I caused a misunderstanding at this news. Im really–really–really sorry…
good ! .. now maybe people can stop Dubbing it as the Korean Grammy Awards .
it’s just as meaningless as any other award show .
gotta agree with you!
FANWAR???!!! puh-leezzz! sorry to say it but please don’t cause fanwar okay. All I can say is SM just want their artist to shine so that he can make more profit from them . Talking about DBSK awards, they deserve it as they already around the world. So, please open DBSK WIKIPEDIA for who think DBSK only went to THAI ONLY! *peace* And I glad that JYJ didn’t attend this BIG JOKE of GDA Drama~ *peaceeeee*
The reason many people are angry (which I wouldn’t call a fanwar per se) is that these awards claim to be “fair” and even comparable to the GRAMMYs when they are far from that. Now they are profiting from the Japanese even though these awards are supposed to be for Korean domestic sales. I’m glad JYJ aren’t there either. Until they clean up their act no one should be there but clearly that won’t happen any time soon.
Some of the people here are so lame, you only know how to bash other groups who win something. And then When your favourite band/singer wins something you throw your hand in the air and say horray…. Well maybe if your such a big fan of your band then you would of done something about like maybe, i don’t know, buy their album?????. or vote for them???. Singers/artist/bands needs the supports of then fans to keep them alive. Maybe you aren’t trying hard enough. So when your favourite band group doesn’t make enough sales its actually because their fan isn’t helping.
sorry.. for asking like this, but who is ur bias? cause if you one of JYJ family, u should already know rite, that JYJ is not candidate in GDA.. so what do you mean with voting? and since ur talking about buying album, im pretty sure that JYJ along with SuJu, 2VXQ, Bigbang, and Kim Hyun Joong are the big 5 for best selling album 2011.. 🙂
Seriously, why are you doing here?
And all your questions are…. What you said, lame!
If you know better, you will know JYJ fans buy almost everything they can afford that the boys come out with.
And about votes, need I say more when JYJ usually gets top ranking in many of them.
What you mentioned are all NOT valid.
So my question to you is still, “What are you doing here?”
Oh, and coming to a post to criticize JYJ fans here when not many people will visit anymore, lame!
Do it in today’s GAP.
Did you see the market or not? Do you know how many stuffs that been bought by JYJ fans so far? When JYJ album came out, we all bought it. Some even bought all the version of their album. You said not helping our idol? Clearly you don’t know what’s going on with JYJ. The reason why they can’t be in GDA? And don’t dare call us lame here. If we want to bash any group or any company or any idol’s member outside JYJ, that’s our right. As far as I know this is JYJ fandom. If you don’t like it then don’t come and read this..
