The awards given out at the 2nd Mnet 20’s Choice Awards on August 23rd 2008 were tabulated democratically by popular vote, but the results say otherwise.
An industry insider told us that the award shows are not democratic but are the result of deal making by music industry executives. If this is true, then we know why Park Yong-ha was picked as “Hot Global Star.” Who is he? Fellow nominees, Rain, Dong-bang-shin-ki or even the sexy Song Seung-heon are more widely known stars. And what’s with “Hot School girl” category? That doesn’t sound right. And is there an age limit on this? This one smells like it was made specifically for Sohee. And lastly, the “popular vote” for the “Hot issue maker” should be the President of the Republic of Korea, Lee Myung-bak, not U.S. beef, for being wooed by the U.S. government on the golf course and then hastily signing the U.S. import beef agreement without consulting his government.
