[2008 MKMF] Dong-bang-shin-ki wins “Album of the year”

2008111529847_2008111588951

Even though Dong-bang-shin-ki (DBSK) put out the fresh track, “Wrong number” for their 800,000 fans, they can’t deny the power of the Casseiopeians. Over 500,000 thousand votes were cast on the online English site for the Mnet KM Music Festival (2008 MKMF) for the boys.

As a result, DBSK snagged the “Album of the Year” Award from their arch rival, Big Bang on November 15th at the 10th Anniversary of the Mnet KM Music Festival.

Congratulations.

Check out DBSK accepting their award and Changmin crying. At the end of the clip, they thanked the Casseiopeians.

    seventh u mean SHINEE? dream on!!!

  10. 10 Constructive Critic November 16, 2008 at 3:59 pm

    Why is Changmin crying so much? He must have worked the hardest on this album b/c he didn’t even cry when they won the Best Artist award in 2006.

    Whatever the case may be congratulations on their win.

  11. 11 suki November 16, 2008 at 4:01 pm

    Congrats, but what is up with their outfits?! Just because they’re famous doesn’t mean their outfits have to become outrageously different from the norm! Anyway, yayyyyy! Welcome back to the stage, boys.

  14. 14 DISGUSTED November 16, 2008 at 4:06 pm

    i didn’t mean shinee. ew i hate them

  15. 15 himynameis November 16, 2008 at 4:06 pm

    YESSS! omg, that was such a good speech made by yunho. ACKKK! love themmm<3

    dbsk and big bang are like head on. people may think one is more successful than the other, but back in their homeland,sooo much competition. ackkk, i dont even know who i like better.

  16. 16 DISGUSTED November 16, 2008 at 4:06 pm

    i didn’t mean shinee.i don’t even like shinee theyre too girlish

  17. 17 crabapple November 16, 2008 at 4:07 pm

    i really adore DBSK… aw changmin is so cute, he’s like crying so much !

  18. 18 reddevil November 16, 2008 at 4:14 pm

    sooo sick of dbsk D:

  19. 19 ^o^ November 16, 2008 at 4:15 pm

    @ DISGUSTED,
    i agree with you…
    girlih + annoying = SHINEE

  20. 20 Izumi November 16, 2008 at 4:15 pm

    They actually fully deserved that award, with or without the Cassiopeians.

    If you rack up all the big-time Korean albums of the year and really get knit-picky about their qualities, MIROTIC definitely ranks at the top. Of course, it wasn’t the ONLY amazing album, I also thought that very solid albums aside from MIROTIC were Epik High’s “Pieces”, Younha’s “Someday”, Hyori’s “It’s Hyorish”, and Rain’s “Rainism”.

    But definitely, the 4th album, MIROTIC, was true ear-candy for me; while I found myself skipping through tracks and favoring one or two on their 3rd album (”O”), MIROTIC kept me engaged through a full listen, which is extremely rare for me (the genre changes in the album were so fluid and natural, the composers who wrote the songs did a great job, and the vocals were breath taking).

    I don’t know if PopSeoul was talking about the fan popularity determining the award’s designation between TVXQ and Big Bang, but honestly, from my point of view, if everyone who voted were voting without bias between “MIROTIC” and “Remember”, I would imagine that “MIROTIC” would’ve won anyhow, because despite there being very good results with Big Bang’s new album, the genre is rather focused towards electronica, so I’d imagine without all the fans mindlessly buying either one of the two, MIROTIC would’ve been much more solid in appealing to a bigger audience.

  21. 21 ^o^ November 16, 2008 at 4:15 pm

    i mean GIRLISH, not girlih

  22. 22 DT November 16, 2008 at 4:15 pm

    Congratz to them..but did u seriosuly needed one whole post to tell us this? What about WG winning it big and BB?

  23. 23 DT November 16, 2008 at 4:17 pm

    @Izumi Remember wasn’t nominated. DBSK’s biggest competition for this award was prolly seo taji or epik high.

  24. 24 Izumi November 16, 2008 at 4:20 pm

    @ DT:

    Yeah, I know, but PopSeoul wrote that “[TVXQ] snagged” the award away from their “rival Big Bang”, so I was just giving a commentary on that.

  25. 25 DT November 16, 2008 at 4:23 pm

    @Izumi, pospeoul has a tendency to give really bad/wrong info along with being biased.

  26. 26 Izumi November 16, 2008 at 4:29 pm

    @ DT:

    Oh XD hahaha… Don’t hurt Popseoul’s feelings now…

    But yeah, I noticed especially with that one BoA article on her birthday… After reading the Popseoul article, I seriously thought her birthday party was a no-gain, a d-listers’ meeting, but then I saw the actual news article on Newsen, and it talked about how she met renown producers and representatives from major labels there; basically the opposite of what Popseoul made it sound like…

    Gah, well what can we complain about, it is a blog after all… I suppose we just have to always be a bit suspicious of the information we believe on here.

  27. 27 Cindy November 16, 2008 at 4:29 pm

    @ Disgusted….actually, Big Bang got the award for best male group..so other groups other than DBSK did shine…but DBSK DID deserve this award, i’m not much of a fan, but their recent songs were nice to listen to…

  28. 28 GO DBSK! November 16, 2008 at 4:29 pm

    @digusted: if you dislike them, stop stalking this article and writing about shinee.

    congrats to the boys! they totally deserved it (and more)! we know you guys are perfectionists, but don’t overwork yourselves!

  29. 29 emmo November 16, 2008 at 4:32 pm

    hey popseoul, you write about DBSK winning album of the year, but you don’t write about Big Bang winning artist of the year.

    it hurts your pride THAT much to write something positive about Big Bang?

  30. 30 Wonderful November 16, 2008 at 4:34 pm

    CONGRATS DBSK ^^

    Who else would win this award?? no one sells like DBSK.

    And they ROCKED it last night too haha XD
    Actually everyone had such amazing performances.

  31. 31 Ann*e November 16, 2008 at 4:35 pm

    YES THEY CHANGED MICKEY’S HAIR!!!!
    HAHAHA!

    lol. he’s so cute.
    all of them are! they deserve this :D
    although this wasn’t my favorite album from
    them… oh well :P

  32. 32 km November 16, 2008 at 4:40 pm

    @DISGUSTED

    wah~! another low life anti fan. go to hell together with your bastards~!!!

    anyway.
    about the article.
    i think they deserve this very much~ and the cass are amazing for their support~!

  33. 33 DISGUSTING November 16, 2008 at 4:52 pm

    Copycat + fugly + crappy= Big Bang.
    ewwww~ they’re gross as hell. LOL

  34. 34 Chicorina November 16, 2008 at 4:53 pm

    And delusional Elves even thought of Supy winning over DBSK.

    They’re fu<king delusional in comparing clowns to real hot stars/entertainers.

  35. 35 wow November 16, 2008 at 4:59 pm

    dbsk ftw!!!
    this group can actually SING live
    without making their fans wince in pain
    hahaha
    <3

  36. 36 wondergirlsfan November 16, 2008 at 5:01 pm

    ^
    true i cant stand super clowns(junior)
    the only artist i dislike in SM(not that i like the others)

  37. 37 Anne November 16, 2008 at 5:01 pm

    this award should be renamed as “best selling album of the year”, because dbsk’s album is absolutely mediocre. This is why I can’t take MKMF seriously.

  38. 38 wondergirlsfan November 16, 2008 at 5:01 pm

    my above post is response to Chicorina

  39. 39 byul1232 November 16, 2008 at 5:03 pm

    wow you’re totally biased.

    May i remind you that big bang took BEST MALE GROUP OF THE YEAR and ARTIST OF THE YEAR and wonder girls BEST SONG OF THE YEAR?

    and plus, big bang didnt even have a FULL album to take that category. Yeah, Remember came out but it came out too late to even be considered.

    you’re so blind.

  40. 40 Chicorina November 16, 2008 at 5:05 pm

    @wondergirlsfan
    *High five*
    We could be best friends. LOLs

    @Anne
    Mediocre?

    Are you one of the delusional elves?

    Lols.

  41. 41 nicole November 16, 2008 at 5:08 pm

    DBSK was amazing that night. They looked great and their performances were fantastic. Congratulations to Big Bang, WG and DBSK, and to all the other artists who won.

    It’s so rare to see Changmin cry.

  42. 42 black ocean November 16, 2008 at 5:09 pm

    micky looks old with the new hair color…

  43. 43 CADD November 16, 2008 at 5:10 pm

    THIS ARTICLE IS VERY DECEPTIVE AND MISLEADING..

    BIG BANG ACTUALLY STOLE THE SHOW ON MKMF 2008… AS MUCH AS I ACTUALLY PREFER DBSK’S MUSIC OVER BIG BANG, EVEN I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT BIG BANG PERFORMANCE AND AWARDS STOLE DBSK’S LIMELIGHT IN MKMF.

    BIG BANG WON 4 AWARDS AND DBSK WON 5 AWARDS BUT… DBSK LOST TO BIG BANG IN THE “BEST MALE GROUP.” AND ASIDE FROM THE “BEST ALBUM AWARD,” DBSK WON MOSTLY OF MINOR AWARDS LIKE “BEST STYLE,” AND “NETIZEN” AWARDS, WHERE AS BIG BANG WON MORE PRESTIGIOUS AWARDS LIKE “BEST MALE GROUP,” “DIGITAL AWARDS - MOST DOWNLOADS” AND OF COURSE THE BIGGEST AWARD OF THE NIGHT “THE BEST ARTIST AWARD.”

    DBSK ALREADY WON THE “BEST ARTIST AWARD” IN MKMF 2005 AND 2006, SO MAYBE M.NET DIDN’T WANT TO GIVE DBSK THE BIG PRIZE FOR THE THIRD TIME… BUT THIS YEAR, DBSK WON THE 2ND BIGGEST AWARD THIS YEAR AT MKMF, NOT THE 1ST… JUST TO CLEAR THINGS OUT.

  44. 44 nicole November 16, 2008 at 5:11 pm

    to DISGUSTED,

    they deserve to shine, just like the rest of the other artist who work their butts off to get these awards.

  45. 45 nicole November 16, 2008 at 5:14 pm

    DBSK won 5 awards and only one major award. They’ve only recently had their comeback (about two months ago) and having FIVE awards is a huge achievement since they’ve only been active in Korea for ONLY about two months since they stayed and worked in Japan. That, now that really says something. Their fans love them very much.

  46. 46 nicole November 16, 2008 at 5:15 pm

    *DBSK won 5 awards and only one major award out of the five awards

  47. 47 Anne November 16, 2008 at 5:17 pm

    Chicorina: no I am not a delusional elf (what kind of an insult is that anyway? lame). You however, need a reality check because dbsk’s album was definitely not the “best” album of the year. It was the highest selling album, yes, but quality/music wise it was definitely not the best. Now I see why people don’t take mkmf seriously.. it’s like the Korean equivalence of the VMAs

  48. 48 . November 16, 2008 at 5:17 pm

    @ Chicorina. Anne cant be elves if she supposedly said that Super Junior are clown. lol
    And they should know that their winning, so no need for tears. they should be Best Seller of the Year instead =\. Honestly, if it weren’t a bunch of hot guys that crazy fans dies over, but were some normal looking band group. I doubt that they have that many sales =\.
    And it goes for everything in K-pop industry. Support people for how well they do not how good they look ~_~.
    Epik High, BB, FTIsland, Younha, Lee Soo Young and some more artist can ACTUALLY sings/rap.
    wth is Suju? bunch of jokers with face.

  49. 49 CADD November 16, 2008 at 5:18 pm

    CONTINUED…NOT TO SAY DBSK DIDN’T DO A GREAT JOB… THEY ONLY CAME BACK FROM JAPAN A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, YET THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THE 2ND BIGGEST PRIZE IN AN AWARD SHOW. THAT’S PRETTY AMAZING!

  50. 50 Cindy November 16, 2008 at 5:26 pm

    i was always a big bang girl but after DBSK’s performance at MKMF, i have to say they’re starting to grow on me. yunho is stupidly hot. and ‘wrong number’ is really really catchy.

  51. 51 stop November 16, 2008 at 5:27 pm

    oh my god, stop capping everything.

  52. 52 Chicorina November 16, 2008 at 5:29 pm

    @ .
    It was wondergirlsfan who said it, not Anne.

    Honestly, DBSK or Big Bang, I’m fine with it.
    Let’s just be happy that Supy didn’t ruin the night with their mere disgusting existence. Just imagine them there, complete in their retarded costume. LOL.

  53. 53 . November 16, 2008 at 5:30 pm

    ^ lol out loud ;D

  54. 54 . November 16, 2008 at 5:32 pm

    I dont say all Suju are crappy but Kanging seems like a cool guy. that’s about it, rofl.

  55. 55 McC November 16, 2008 at 5:34 pm

    PREDICTABLE!!!!!!!!!!

    Fan-voting system is totally wrong!
    Sales of records should be taken in account within a certain period of time from its release, so that even if singer/s released before or later, still their record sales will tell their popularity. But those releasing near the time of awards should not be included…

    I love DBSK but it’s wrong…totally…I am kind of feeling sorry for Big Bang :(

  56. 56 cindy t. November 16, 2008 at 5:47 pm

    YESH!!! GO DBSK!!! POOR CHANGMIN ITS SO AMAZING THAT HE CRIED. DBSK FIGHTING!!!

  57. 57 Lindaa November 16, 2008 at 5:51 pm

    DBSK is also one of my favourite along with Big Bang !
    Congrats boys, you worked hard :)

  58. 58 Nick November 16, 2008 at 6:12 pm

    Mirotic album is love. The album of the year shoul dbe guarantee anyway. I love all songs in the album, except Flower Lady. The new 3 songs in the repackage album are nice addition, except Wish. I listened to Wish and still don’t understand why they need to collaborate with 2 male artists in the similar genre and age. I’m not a hater of the song though, but I just dont’ see the new or better flavour in Wish.

  59. 59 lolo November 16, 2008 at 6:28 pm

    I honestly think that Epik High should have won Best Album! I don’t think DBSK deserved it, even though I like them and Mirotic was the first album from them that I really enjoyed. Oh well, glad Epik High won Best Hip Hop Group though :)

    Congrats to Big Bang, they definately deserved thier awards especially Best Male Group and Arist of the year. ^_^

    I didn’t realize that Big Bang was up for the Best Album Award >_< Didn’t REMEMBER come out a bit too late for that?

    Also, I’m glad that fan voting counted for a smaller percentage than judge voting or else the results would have been extremely bias xD

  60. 60 sarah November 16, 2008 at 6:40 pm

    lol nothing like the power of a million horny and idiotic little girls
    at least shinee can sing. they should have won :/

  61. 61 Nicole November 16, 2008 at 6:41 pm

    I’m happy for them. As much as their songs are beginning to resemble factory produced compositions, you can’t deny that fans are sweeping their albums off shelves. In my opinion, Mirotic was good, but underwhelming compared to previous releases like Rising Sun which was stellar.

  62. 62 Rin November 16, 2008 at 6:48 pm

    @ Anne: I agree with you. This award was probably based on sales because Epik High’s album was so much better. DBSK totally deserved their other awards but this one, not so much. Their album had some good songs but it wasn’t their best.

  63. 63 jonee November 16, 2008 at 6:49 pm

    DBSK is amazing as always! I’m glad for them. Changmin is so humble! Love the performance..

  64. 64 ^^ November 16, 2008 at 6:50 pm

    OMG!!! IT’S SO ANNOYING WHEN DBSK ANTIS ALWAYS HAVE THEIR BIG FANBASE READY AS AN EXCUSE TO STAIN DBSK’S GLORY!!!
    DOESN’T THE FACT THAT DBSK HAS A MASSIVE FANBASE MEAN ANYTHING???
    U THINK THEY HAVE A MASSIVE FANBASE FOR NO REASON???
    IT’S NOT LIKE THEY CAN KICK PPLZ OUT COZ THEIR FANBASE IS GETTING TOO BIG!!!

    CONGRATS TO DBSK!
    5 AWARDS FOR BEING IN KOREA FOR 2 MONTHS!
    THEY TOTALLY DESERVED ALL THE AWARDS THEY GOT!
    could pplz plz stop hating on everybody????
    from wat i’ve read even the crazy cassies didn’t complain that DBSK should’ve got something that BB got
    but pplz r still bashing DBSK????
    that’s slack
    DBSK worked so hard for every award they got and fully deserved them!
    lots of groups other than DBSK did shine! spesh BB
    since they got 2 daesangs and DBSK got 1
    but then again, DBSK’s only been in korea for 2 months, so for them 2 get any daesangs is AMAZING!
    DBSK’S PERF WAS AWESOME TOO!!!!!
    AND MINNIE AND MICKY CRYING!!!
    AAWWWW!! SO SWEET!!!!

    @ DISGUSTED: u disgust me
    ur just some crazy i dun even noe wat trying 2 ruin all the happiness…
    BB WON 3 AWARDS INCLUDING 2 DAESANGS! BE HAPPY!
    and if u hate DBSK so much, y did u keep coming bak 2 the article???
    that just shows u only clicked on this post just 2 stir up trouble!!!!!!

    @ Anne: LIKE I SAID BEFORE
    even if it was best-selling album of the year
    DOESN’T BEST SELLING STILL MEAN SUMFING TO YOU!?
    DOESN’T THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE SO MANY FANS INDICATE SUMFING???
    IT’S NOT LIKE DBSK CAN JUST KICK THEIR FANS OUT COZ THEIR FANBASE IS GETTING TOO BIG!

  65. 65 WEEE November 16, 2008 at 6:54 pm

    FOR GOD’S SAKE MIROTIC WAS NOT UP AGAINST BIG BANG’S ALBUM.

    BB beat DBSK for Best Male group and Artist of the year. While DBSK beat BB in 4 of the poll-wised awards. However Album of the Year was between Seo Taji, DBSK, Brown Eye girls, Epik High and some other guy( i forgot) so iunno where Big Bang came from, especially since they didn;t released an album until last week.
    Seriously where the hell do u get ur info? U prolly just made it up to make ur inner crazy fangirl feel better. Popseoul needs writers who can double check their info. Still congratz to DBSK for the win. They worked hard and released a good album with crazy sales… they deserved it 100%.

  66. 66 ^^ November 16, 2008 at 6:55 pm

    DONG BANG SHIN KI HWAITING!

  67. 67 ^^ November 16, 2008 at 6:58 pm

    @ WEEE
    if ur comment was directed at me
    that’s not wat i meant
    pplz r still bashing dbsk and saying big bang should’ve got stuf dat dbsk got
    so i’m saying that dbsk deserved everything they got

  68. 68 ^^ November 16, 2008 at 7:00 pm

    @ WEEE
    my bad, ur comment wasn’t directed at me was it?
    hahahaha -_-”
    but either way, DBSK deserved everything they got!!!!

  69. 69 Izumi November 16, 2008 at 7:01 pm

    @ Rin:

    Well, I think album sales will inevitably be a big factor in the judgment of who this award goes to. After all, it is really difficult to judge how an album is by other methods.

    I mean, we, as fans, can say that “this album was better than that album” and whatnot, but how can you do that quantitatively? Imagine, if you were a judge; how could you possibly make it official that MIROTIC was better than PIECES or vice versa? It’s really difficult, because things like your taste in music (rap/hip hop fan vs. pop/ballad fan), lyrics, artist’ portrayal of the songs, etc. can be so heavily influenced from person to person.

    So, I think going by the number of sales was the best they could get at as coming close to judging the album categories with the least amount of bias.

    But I do agree, if I thought that MIROTIC was mediocre and thought PIECES completely outshines it, I would be kind of upset. Luckily though, I am thoroughly convinced (after having listened to both albums many times) that both albums are stellar, but MIROTIC has a greater capability to reach out to a wider audience (I mean, some of the ballad songs on MIROTIC, like “Flower Lady”, “Love in the Ice”, “Forgotten Season”, or “Looking at the Sunset” even appeal to adults; whereas, it’s really difficult to find adults who are willing to listen to a full-track of hip hop/rap).

  70. 70 pi-chan November 16, 2008 at 7:02 pm

    CONGRATS DBSK!!!
    these guys really deserved it!!!!!!!!
    i love DBSK so much <333 i’m so happy that they won so many awards!! and i’m so proud of them!!
    DBSK hwaiting!
    Cassiopeia hwaiting!

    @nicole

    i so agree with your last comment!!!

    @ everyone who thinks BB is better than DBSK just because they won the first prize and to all the other haters:

    1st DBSK had their comeback just a little while ago!
    so it was clear that in korea many people would actually vote for BigBang since DBSK weren’t there for a long time~

    2nd DBSK won 5 (!) awards though their comeback was just a little time ago and this is enough to prove that they are the best. only DBSK are able to do things like that.

    3rd like CADD said before, DBSK already won the ‘best artist award’ in 2005 and 2006~ and maybe this time M.net thought people (non DBSK fans) would get mad at DBSK if they won this award for the third time. so they gave it to the 2nd best artist (which would be BigBang). also some entertainer have these rules that a group can win the same prize for only 2 times and not more. i’m not sure if this also counts for M.net but it seems so~

    4th i’m not a hater of Bigbang!!!! no way, in fact i’m a huge fan of them! but i just think that DBSK are much better than anyone else and that they deserve the best things much more than the other artists. and to say ‘DBSK won against Bigbang’ or ‘DBSK lost to Bigbang’ just because of MKMF isn’t right i think~

    oh and this article is mainly about DBSK so why do u guys talk about suju and SHINee?? … stupid stalker

  71. 71 Rin November 16, 2008 at 7:12 pm

    @ Izumi: Very true. Yeah, sales are the best way to determine it since quality all really depends on taste. It took me a few listens until I fully appreciated the MIROTIC album.

  72. 72 ^^ November 16, 2008 at 7:14 pm

    @ Izumi and Rin:
    mhmmm!!! ^^

    TO ALL THOSE DBSK HATERS USING DBSK’S FANBASE AS A WAY 2 STAIN DBSK’S GLORY:
    HOW ELSE R U SUPPOSED 2 JUDGE ON BEST ALBUM THEN??????

  73. 73 blue November 16, 2008 at 7:41 pm

    PEOPLE NEEDS TO SHUT UP! If DBSK had comeback earlier in the year it would have been a different story. But, I don’t care what award is MORE PRESTGIOUS. The best artist won, the end.
    MKMF is just a bad version of MTV Music Awards.

    Stop hating on the winners, people. It over. Your can’t change history. Their is next year and the upcoming award shows.

  74. 74 la November 16, 2008 at 7:46 pm

    DBSK, to me, is not that great. But whatever LOL.

  75. 75 ^^ November 16, 2008 at 7:49 pm

  82. 82 randomfan November 16, 2008 at 8:21 pm

    I looooove shinee, big bang n dbsk. just to make some people pissed off. heh

  83. 83 Procrastinator November 16, 2008 at 8:28 pm

    @pi-chan. Wake up.

    You’ve got to be kidding me if you think that the other awards DBSK won were important ones. If you’ve got 800,000 crazy fans, you can probably count on them to vote like mad and surpass everyone else. The other 4 awards that DBSK received were based on popularity and voting only.

    “i just think that DBSK are much better than anyone else and that they deserve the best things much more than the other artists. and to say ‘DBSK won against Bigbang’ or ‘DBSK lost to Bigbang’ just because of MKMF isn’t right i think~”

    ????? Contradictory, much? You’re being so judgmental, and yet you don’t want other people to judge these artists.

    Anyone else think it weird that “Album of the Year” is paraded around as a Daesang all of a sudden??? When Epik High won it last year, I don’t remember anyone giving them significant recognition. It feels like MKMF gave it out to DBSK as a consolation prize just to keep Cassie’s happy. It’s ridiculous.

  84. 84 Lildestiny November 16, 2008 at 8:35 pm

    aw CONGRATS TO THEM ^-^

  85. 85 someone November 16, 2008 at 8:44 pm

    I agree with Izumi on this one.

    Honestly, in regards of quality of a full studio album, DBSK won this fairly.

    People should stop saying that “They won the award already, let someone else win it”, this isn’t charity, this is about who released the best album/music/artist, etc. Fans had their chance to vote, but those votes comprised of only 20% of the final outcome.

    So, however popular certain artists were, come voting time with the public, critics and stats came in to play after that.

    Anyhow, this years event seemed to be quite a strange one regarding Mnets reputation. I’m impressed that it was more well rounded, but they seemed to want to please everyone hence the “well rounded” award-giving.

    But pleasing everyone is never an easy task, loads of you still seem to complain.

    Best Album - DBSK (considering they only came back October)
    Artist of the Year - Definately Big Bang. (They participated through out the year and got a lot of attention in different fields).
    Songs - Wonder Girls (although I prefer “So Hot” and seriously am sick and tired of ‘Nobody).

    So, even though personal preferences differ, the results definately reflect the Industry this year. Mad props to HyoRis, “U Go Girl”, because it was best dance for sure. And Best Male will always be Seo TaiJi.

    International fans in their majority will always find something to whine about and never think of things objectively. It’s an Award show, there will always be winners and losers, get over it, your favourite artists have.

  86. 86 Lina November 16, 2008 at 9:29 pm

    awwwwwww…since i remember i’ve never seen him crying before ^^ they deserve ANY award they win..we all know how talented they are and their huge fan base is because that they worked really really hard for that.

  87. 87 The Machine November 16, 2008 at 10:03 pm

    @ Procrastinator

    Are you kidding me? How is Album of the Year to you some consolation prize. Firstly, no “idol” group has won that award in many years (what is it, 10?). I’m not going to put down Artist of the Year or Song of the Year because that is unjust and I have no reason to undervalue Big Bang and Wonder Girl’s success. But Album of the Year is a significant award. DBSK has been working on this album nonstop for the past almost two years, during that time they must have faced many difficulties, feeling the pressure of returning to Korea, wondering if they’d be well received when they returned, if their fans would still support them, etc etc.

    They’ve heavily invested themselves on this album, and it also showcases nearly all the member’s contributions as well. And it shows.

    I think YOUR OPINION is a little ridiculous to not acknowledge this.

    And FYI, there are no official “Daesangs” in the MKMF, that’s the Golden Disk Awards. People have just dubbed the top three awards as such, but they ALL HAVE EQUAL VALUE.

  88. 88 The Machine November 16, 2008 at 10:04 pm

    I’d also like to say, this was such a touching moment to bea DBSK fan, especially later when Changmin explained the reason behind his tears. That boy is just so amazing.

  89. 89 FRUITY November 16, 2008 at 10:08 pm

    ahhh Minnie oppa was so touched… they are the BEST!!
    CASSIOPEIAS FIGHTING!!
    MIROTIC ALbUM is the best…
    Chukahaeyo Dong bang shin ki!!!

  90. 90 ihavenolife November 16, 2008 at 10:11 pm

    MKMF organisers were brilliant in orchestrating a peaceful awards ceremony. Everybody was happy.

    Why do we now have to mess things up with all this arguing?

    Congrats to all winners :)

  91. 91 mimo November 16, 2008 at 10:12 pm

    Awww Changmin cried…congrats to them I love this album so I think it was truly deserved.

  92. 92 yeah, right! whatever! November 16, 2008 at 10:32 pm

    what did you just say?? super junior as super clown?? stupid people! you’re impossible!!

    what is so bad about super junior? they’re a bunch of adorable and talented guys.

    and talking about their costumes, yeah, i agree not much of what i expect. but still, it isn’t enough to actually bash them and their music!

    just wait for their third album! you’ll see. tsk.

    **@chicorina: and, tvxq as hot entertainers? i like them as well. but i didn’t like them because of the “hotness” that you’ve mentioned. [i like them because of their music.] is that your basis on saying whether a group is good or not?? disgusting existence?? what made you say this?? huh?? spare time and listen to their songs.

    @. super junior? bunch of jokers with face?? wtf?! what made you say these stuff?

    ***not liking the genres that a group is into isn’t enough to say that their music is bad..or even the group itself is crappy.

    leche!!

  93. 93 pi-chan November 16, 2008 at 10:41 pm

    @Procrastinator

    eh, what’s up with u? -__-
    u’Re just talking rubbish

    >”You’ve got to be kidding me if you think that the other awards DBSK won were important ones.”

    well, can you tell me then what could be more important as winning the BEST ARTIST of the year?? huh?? this is the biggest award you can win in MKMF.

    >”If you’ve got 800,000 crazy fans, you can probably count on them to vote like mad and surpass everyone else.”

    how else are u supposed to vote on them then???????? huh???

    >”The other 4 awards that DBSK received were based on popularity and voting only.”

    LOOOOOL your way of thinking is just amusing xDDD~

    u say ONLY popularity and voting
    behind these two words there are people who make this possible!
    if people wouldn’t like them, DBSK wouldn’t be popular and they wouldn’t vote for them. but since DBSK are popular and people vote for them it means people like them. and this means that DBSK are awesome artists who deserve to receive every good award!!

    >”????? Contradictory, much? You’re being so judgmental, and yet you don’t want other people to judge these artists.”

    i said I MYSELF THINK that DBSK are the best
    and i can say and think whatever i want about my favorite stars~

    and with this part of my text
    “and to say ‘DBSK won against Bigbang’ or ‘DBSK lost to Bigbang’ just because of MKMF isn’t right i think~”

    i meant that MKMF’s awards aren’t always right because sometimes they don’t count the votings fair.
    so no matter if DBSK or BIGBANG or someone else would win the ‘best artist award’ in the end it doesn’t really mean that they are the real best artist. and that’s because of M.net
    u got it?
    i said DBSK are the best because i love them.
    so i’m not contradictory

    >”It feels like MKMF gave it out to DBSK as a consolation prize just to keep Cassie’s happy. It’s ridiculous.”

    it feels like you’Re a stupid hater of DBSK.
    you really have no idea about what you’re talking.
    the only ridiculous one here is only you!

  94. 94 supershinki2811 November 16, 2008 at 10:53 pm

    dbsk won best album of the year..thats mean their songs are very good…even u won the best artist or what..its not necessary ur songs is good..ehhhhhh.dbsk is better

  95. 95 wondergirlsfan November 16, 2008 at 10:58 pm

    super juniors are clowns,just admit it
    well,i dont see them as singing group,more an entertaining group that being a good money machine for SM
    SJ is by the worst production by SM,at least DBSK,SHINee are great singers

  96. 96 Leavethemalone November 16, 2008 at 11:52 pm

    hey i don’t think that cassies have never bash other BB fan cuz they won the artist of the year award!!!

    i def. have seen cass bash other ppl…
    VIPz…too….

    the thing is… i think BB deserves artist of the year award as well as DBSK won the album of the year award..

    at least that’s what i thought….

  97. 97 bin laden November 16, 2008 at 11:53 pm

    if dbsk won all the awards yesterday… all the stupid dbsk fans will say dbsk deserved it bcoz they are the greatest gay ever and bla bla bla…

    but bigbang + WG surprised everyone with their win… and now the stupid DBSK fans are saying mkmf voting isn’t rite? and mkmf awards isn’t important? hahah~

    dbsk gay losers… only knows how to cry like a sissy girl… and shinee is gay too… stupid transvestites kids…

  98. 98 Leavethemalone November 16, 2008 at 11:58 pm

    someone said that everyone thinks that BB is great because they won the first prize etc…..

    that is so wrong!!! heck yeah, they are great!!! and they do deserve the first prize or watever.. but that
    s because BB worked hard for it!!!

  99. 99 Leavethemalone November 17, 2008 at 12:00 am

    i agree wif bin laden on the shinee is gay

  100. 100 the don November 17, 2008 at 12:05 am

    u think dbsk is better than BB bcoz they won the album of the year? that means their songs are much better than BB? and it makes them better from the artist of the year?

    if dbsk knows their songs are good. why don’t they just release it and don’t bother promoting it in any way. they should just stay home & f.u.c.k each others ass. bcoz they know their songs are good rite?

  101. 101 backstage November 17, 2008 at 12:05 am

    look at changminnie~~
    awww..soo sweet!!

    ..
    peoples hear me!!
    the fact that dbsk even got an award it amazing becus they wer in japan the whole time!
    i only started to love bigbang and i think theyre amazing too..

    both bands deserve it and shouldnt be arguing about it..

    **suju all the way!**lols..haha

  102. 102 parti keadilan November 17, 2008 at 12:10 am

    i hate dbsk. i mean, i hate their fans actually. dbsk is just an okay group. but their stupid fans keep on forcing people to think/believe dbsk is somekind of a god or something?

    dbsk can only sing live when it’s slow song. but when it’s a fast/dance song.. they will always lipsync. and changmin will always scream like a stupid little girl losing her virginity to a broom stick.

    go WG~ go BB~

  103. 103 leavethemalone November 17, 2008 at 12:12 am

    Go BB!!!

  104. 104 move it November 17, 2008 at 12:13 am

    u people are wondering why Max cried yesterday? bcoz he’s gay… that’s why!

  105. 105 aziz satar November 17, 2008 at 12:15 am

    max changmin cried bcoz he couldn’t perform together with shinee. he really2 wanted to kiss the shinee kids like TOP kissed Hyori. bwahahaha~

  106. 106 KingHeeMin November 17, 2008 at 12:32 am

    DBSK CHUKAHAE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^^
    they really are the RISING GODS OF THE EAST!

    @DISGUSTED
    please stop saying negative things about boy bands.. they all deserve to get the award they got..

    @wondergirlsfan
    SUJU MEMBERS ARE NOT CLOWNS! they are all talented like DBSK and SHINee its just that they have no current album but they’re working on it.. but, they are still active.. they have their own shows.. they are MCs.. and some of them are actors.. and fyi.. they are not the worst production by SM..
    2 of the SuJu and DBSK members are supposed to be in one band before DBSK debuted.. so, if it means that they are all good..

    @bin laden
    “if dbsk won all the awards yesterday… all the stupid dbsk fans will say dbsk deserved it bcoz they are the greatest gay ever and bla bla bla…

    but bigbang + WG surprised everyone with their win… and now the stupid DBSK fans are saying mkmf voting isn’t rite? and mkmf awards isn’t important? hahah~

    dbsk gay losers… only knows how to cry like a sissy girl… and shinee is gay too… stupid transvestites kids…”

    ~DBSK ISN’T GAY! and so is SHINee! why do you keep on saying these kinds of stuff? can’t you accept the fact they are so great, talented, hardworking, and they definitely have nice~~ oh i mean great songs that they even got an award for it!

    @Leavethemalone
    for the last time, SHINee ISN’T GAY! eum.. are you a guy?! coz if you are, maybe you’re the one who is gay!
    so, shut your gay mouth up! thanks! ^^

    @the don
    “if dbsk knows their songs are good. why don’t they just release it and don’t bother promoting it in any way. they should just stay home & f.u.c.k each others ass. bcoz they know their songs are good rite?”

    ~ wtf?! why would they do that?!
    if they know that they have good songs, they should let other people listen and enjoy their songs.. and that’s what they’re doing!

    @to all ANTIS
    stop judging people! okay?! but, if you can’t stop doing it.. try this.. look in the mirror and start insulting what you see..

    ~~

    anyways, congrats to all the winners! ^^

  108. 108 deuter November 17, 2008 at 12:38 am

    Ok, some cassies have indeed gone overboard. It looks like you are never happy with the situation. DBSK won album of the year, and personally i think they deserve the award. But criticizing other bands and saying that DBSK deserves those awards better than them is simply preposterous.

    Some cassies are like terrorists if i can compare. Why? Because they’re bend on this false ideology that DBSK is the goddess of the music industry and they should receive all the prestigious awards! Isn’t it time you realise that other bands too can rise up to the occasion?

    True enough, winning the artist of the year award doesnt necessarily mean that all their songs are better than DBSK, but it definitely meant something special.

    And dont say that i’m not giving you cassies any respect. I think i’m already giving you ample respect here because unlike some fans… i do not bluntly condemn other bands who have received the awards just because they desperately want their fav. band to grab those awards.

    I think it was already a win-win situation and thought that cassies would be happy with the result. But i was indeed wrong. Some of you guys continue to delude yourself and whine about the situation. In fact, im disgusted at how some suggested that mnet doesnt know how to count votes,other bands won because DBSK wasnt there long enough, etc.

    im directing this to cassies who have actually condemned other bands be it here in popseoul or any other websites, so those who didnt, obviously this post isnt for you.

    DBSK won five awards and that really meant something. Similarly, other bands winning the respective prestigious awards equally showed something special about them.

    It is indeed sad that while other fans are happily celebrating their fav bands’ achievement, you’re here complaining about an irrevocable situation. It’s time you guys move on and continue supporting your fav band in their upcoming albums in future.

  109. 109 esther November 17, 2008 at 1:08 am

    gosh the fact tht dbsk got album of the year is a fact.
    those antis or wtvr you call yrself cld you guys just stop denying it. thts so childish. if you hate dbsk just stop coming back and check on th msgs. ( i dont understand these antis =_=)

    antis are lame.

    btw, thou i’m a dbsk fan, i felt tt its fair tt db,bb,wg all got a share on the daesangs. FAIR SHARE. lol. so stop bashing each other. DBSK ftw ! (:

  110. 110 esther November 17, 2008 at 1:08 am

    HWAITING!
    <3 one of your biggest fans
    Congrats to Big Bang too :) Please don”t bash them Cassiopeia, they deserved an award too.

  113. 113 dongbangloveeeeee November 17, 2008 at 1:47 am

    As much as I love DBSK, I still agree that Big Bang deserved the other awards too…. Big Bang really did make a big bang this year… O.O

    Congrats to DBSK and Big Bang! ^^

  114. 114 pi-chan November 17, 2008 at 1:54 am

    i so laughed my ass off bcuz of ur comment xDDD

    u anti DBSK & SHINee!!
    don’t post unnecessary stupid comments next time ok?

  115. 115 hapacalgirl November 17, 2008 at 2:32 am

    I personally loved Epic High’s “Pieces, Part I”, it was such a brilliant and well put together album I still listen to it and I am slightly disappointed they didn’t get the award. But I am happy DBSK won, Mirotic was a highly popular and very good album. I personally liked the majority of people nominated for this award so I would of been happy with any one of them winning.

  116. 116 chaewon. November 17, 2008 at 2:33 am

    @ someone

    yeah i agree with you.
    im expecting people/fangirls/antis to start bashing here…but seriously whats the point when the MKMF awards is already over?

    Anw,i as a Cassiopeia am very proud of the fact that DBSK won the Best Album award(amongst the other awards)!
    However award or no award,I will still support their music.
    Awards are’nt really important to me cos its their music that matters.
    But artistes often sees receiving awards as a confirmation for their status and music.
    Actually i think all 3 groups-WG,BB and DBSK deserved to receive the 3 Daeseng awards !

    Big Bang for “Artiste of the year” cos they’ve been working hard in Korea for most of the time this year.
    and since this award specifically stated the word “year”,BB really deserved it for all the fab songs they come out with ^^

    WonderGirls for “song of the year” cos they’ve came out with a hit single each time,from “Tell me” to “So Hot” to “Nobody”.
    All 3 songs were very well received and addictive.
    Congrats to WG ^^!

    Dong Bang Shin Ki for “Album of the year” cos based on sales,their album is the best selling one so far this year.
    Based on music wise,they tried out many different genres and this time they focused more on the western style instead of the usual SMP songs.They managed to reach out to different people with their songs and vocals and they worked hard just 2 months into their comeback,so they deserved this award too.

    But oh well,i don’t think everyone can agree with the winners list.But i hope they can get over it and there’s really no need to start comparing or arguing here^^

    WELL,CONGRATS TO ALL THE WINNERS OF THIS YEAR’S MKMF !

  117. 117 replay November 17, 2008 at 2:36 am

    omg changmin crying!!! soooo cute! i love changmin so much!!

  118. 118 orenji November 17, 2008 at 2:56 am

    @parti keadilan:
    I think last night performance show how it was supposed to be done. They’re dancing to slow song? are you kidding me? If Wrong Number and Mirotic are slow dance song than I think Rising Sun is SUPER DUPER FAST. If you don’t like them, it’s OK. But please put credit to where it’s belong.

    I think for fairness this is what the judgement based on (atleast when picking up the categories):

    1. Song of the Years: the song with the most frequently played and request on radio, tv, and such.

    2. Artist of the Year: The most productive artist, their achievement on the weekly chart and so on.

    3. Album of the Year: Album with highest sells number.

    See, if not how can you measures arts?? Arts is art. It’s different for each person.

  119. 119 live4music November 17, 2008 at 3:00 am

    i soo didnt expect to see changmin cry <3 he still looked good XD
    love how they were so happy just to get that award. they are so modest it constantly amazes me <3
    DBSK FOREVER~

    and could people stop fighting? its already over! even though im a bigger dbsk fan than any other group, i think the 3 major awards were well distributed. Congrats to DBSK, Big Bang and Wonder Girls. they all worked very hard this past year.

  120. 120 xmissy November 17, 2008 at 3:04 am

    im happy for them. a solid album + crazy sales number = automatic win. although i do enjoy epik highs album, their sales number isnt comparable to DBSK’s. & people who let artists fans affect their judgement of the artist are dumb. so the people who hate DBSK just because of Cassies, your really missing out on a great group.

  121. 121 Jessica November 17, 2008 at 3:22 am

    wow, that kid never cries.
    I’m a little surprised that they managed to win Best Album of the year, considering they’ve been in Japan for most of the year. I thought Big Bang would sweep at this years’ awards…

  122. 122 guava November 17, 2008 at 3:59 am

    Seeing all these video clips really makes me wish that I lived in Korea (or eve better….to have been at the show). Hot Dang…… Hero is too darn cute. I just hope that the fuzzy thing hanging off his shoulder was faux. And what was the point of even wearing a jacket, he should just gone on stage with no top at all :-)

    from the categories that DBSK how many out of __ did they win? what were the ones they didn win?

    DBSK is the best…who cares if some people dont like they are alot of spotlight on the best of the best….as far as i know DBSK(almost6yrs[debutedDec26(?)2003) after ShinHwa(10yrs) are longest group up to date…
