Kapanlagi.com - An annual event that awards individuals in the entertainment industry is an important event for the entertainment world. This event aims to appreciate the efforts that they have dedicated to creating works enjoyed by the general public. With this appreciation, it can also motivate individuals in the entertainment industry to produce extraordinary works.

In addition to appreciation, these award events can also be used as a platform for fans to show their support directly or indirectly (usually through voting) and for idols and fans to interact. In events like these, idols can also introduce their latest works by performing in the event.

These award events exist all around the world, including Korea. These events are always anticipated by K-Pop idol fans because they always feature performances by idols. Here are some music award events that are held annually and are worth anticipating and watching, including:

 

1. The Fact Music Awards

This relatively new award event made its debut in April 2019. The Fact Music Awards has awarded eight categories of awards during its two-year run.

This year, the event will be held online to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The purpose of this event is for idols to enjoy it with their fans, so the organizers have arranged an untact event to prioritize health, which is currently a global focus.

2. Melon Music Awards

The next K-Pop music award event is the Melon Music Awards. This annual event is organized by LOEN Entertainment through their online music service, Melon. It is a highly anticipated event as it is one of the major K-Pop music awards in South Korea and is attended by renowned K-Pop idols.

Similar to most award events, the Melon Music Awards usually start with a red carpet and short interviews with artists conducted by a presenter. The evaluation system of this award event is based on three criteria: online voting, digital sales, and the judgment of the jury panel.

3. Mnet Asian Music Award

The next music award event is the Mnet Asian Music Award. As the name suggests, this event, commonly known as MAMA, will be broadcasted on the Mnet channel and can be watched in thirteen other Asian countries, including Indonesia.

In this award event, there are more than fifty award categories divided into two major categories, namely special awards (daesang) and general awards. This event was first held on November 27, 1999, which means it has been held for twenty-one years. In 2020, BTS successfully swept all the Daesang nominations in this event.

4. Seoul Music Awards

Seoul Music Awards is an annual event to award Korean entertainment industry professionals, which has been held since 1990. It is highly anticipated by K-Pop fans as it always features popular K-Pop idols in South Korea.

This year, the 30th Seoul Music Awards was successfully held. In this edition, Seoul Music Awards took place at KSPO Dome, South Korea, and was hosted by Sooyoung Girls' Generation, Kim Heechul Super Junior, and Shing Dong Yup. Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, Seoul Music Awards was conducted in an on-tact format and followed health protocols to prevent the further spread of the virus in South Korea.

 

 

 

5. Gaon Chart Music Awards

The latest music awards event is the Gaon Chart Music Awards. Gaon Chart Music Awards is an annual music awards event in South Korea by the Gaon Chart music portal. This award will focus more on songs and albums rather than musicians. The finalists who will receive this award are based on the Gaon chart from the previous year, based on song and album sales data.

This year, BTS and Blackpink dominated every nomination in the Gaon Chart Music Awards. Unlike previous years, the Gaon Chart Music Awards, which is now entering its 10th year, is held virtually. Every celebrity who receives an award in this event has also been pre-recorded.

Those are some music awards events in South Korea. With events like these, hopefully, entertainment industry professionals, especially in the music field, can be more appreciated and encouraged to continue producing interesting and amazing works.
