The 2010 Golden Disk Awards ceremony was broadcast live through QTV, Y-star and Comedy TV for three hours. Idol groups including the forefront girl group Girls’ Generation and their male counterparts Super Junior and 2AM all appeared on stage and in particular BoA (often described as the star of Asia) made the audience’s jaws drop with her powerful charisma.

Of the 11 categories, a total of 21 awards were waiting to be handed out to the lucky winners. Girls’ Generation and 2AM were each awarded the Grand Prize and the Digital Sound Grand Prize. Yet Girls’ Generation didn’t stop there; they also gained the highest glory by taking possession of the Best Album and Popularity awards, adding up to a total of three prizes. Furthermore, 2AM also won two prizes, being presented with the Best Digital Single Award along with the Grand Prize. The groups Sistar, Beast, and Secret took home the Best New Artist awards while others featured on the nominee list included BoA, IU, Miss A, CNBLUE, Lee Seung-gi, Super Junior, SHINee, Supreme Team, DJ DOC, and FT Island.

Although opinions may differ, the Golden Disk ceremony was surely a show that everyone could enjoy for the whole night. However, despite the ceremony being a great success some doubtful aspects were plain to see; the M.net Asian Music Awards (MAMA) took place in Macau, China on November 28, yet it couldn’t remove the stigma of being only a half ceremony. This is because while most of the winners in MAMA belong to the YG Family, the winners in the Golden Disk Awards hail from SM Entertainment. This plunges the nation’s music critics and fans into confusion; surely singers from SM Entertainment and YG are good enough to deserve awards at each other’s ceremonies?

Nevertheless, all of the artists in both ceremonies spent the past year working hard and deserve to be applauded. We can only hope that the ceremonies will grow more mature and become more unbiased and persuadable next year. After all, we appreciate all of the singers for sparing no efforts in their work to further develop the nation’s music scene. You are doing a fine job; keep up the good work, singers!
