Why Big Bang was not present at Golden Disk 2008 and facts of award ceremonies these days
Fans were puzzled and doubtful about 2008 ‘Golden Disk Award’, which was said to be based on album sales, that artistes Big Bang and Seo Taiji who achieved the 2nd and 3rd highest album sales for the year did get an awards.
Here’s explanation why…
The BonSang winners for 2008 Golden Disk Award that took place on 10th December were Dong Bang Shin Ki, Rain, SG Wannabe, Kim Dong Ryul, ShinHwa and Brown Eyes.
Big Bang’s 3rd minialbum ‘Stand Up’ were said to have sold over 149,000 copies as recorded on HanTeo (album sales tabulation site). And also for their 2nd official album ‘Remember’, it has recorded a total of 112,000 copies sold. So all in all, in this year, Big Bang had brought in about 260,000 over album sales.
It has been revealed that the judging criteria for the GDA BonSang award has 60% based on album sales from December last year to November this year, 20% based on popularity votes and 20% on the committee’s evaluation.
And Big Bang’s popularity vote was at #3 after Dong Bang Shin Ki and Son Ho Young as of 5th December.
But still, Big Bang was not awarded any award for GDA. Why is it so?
It has been revealed on Golden Disk Award homepage that “Winners will not be awarded their awards if they are absent for the award ceremony.” The sponsorships to GDA has made it clear that no matter the artiste’s popularity and album sales, if they are not present for the award ceremony, they will not receive their award.
So with this, it was not true that ‘Big Bang cannot receive the BonSang’ but rather ‘Big Bang did not receive the BonSang’. Because Big Bang was not present for the award ceremony.
Big Bang’s company YG Entertainment was not considered on good terms with the Golden Disk Award committee. And that’s the reason why Big Bang did not attend the ceremony.
It is the same case for singer Seo Taiji. He sold more than 137,000 copies for his 8th album first single ‘Atomos Part Moai’. But he was not present for the award ceremony.
There has been many cases like these in the past where stars who were present at the award ceremony were mostly those who would receive an award. Even though there are many deserving stars for the nomination, because they did not fulfil their ‘loyalty’ to the award by not attending the award ceremony, they did not receive the award.
The award ceremonies has taken the trend of ‘attended stars = winner stars’.
Hopefully with this, fans from different artistes group will understand the situation and bring an end to any animosity.
