Some of these weren't based on sales, right?

I'm really happy about the Winner/Mamamoo double award, and really pleasantly surprised at BTS/Akmu getting something as well.

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

Mino&yoon are so cute with Epik high

winner got so much better on stage I'm so proud of them

and HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

The Up & Down remix was too good.

[swhyeon1991.livejournal.com]

AOA jamming to Mamacita was cute lol. Also tbh (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B8dbt8VCUAAtbES.jpg).

[lydiasummer.livejournal.com]

not enough screentime for hoon but glad he's back

[donutism.livejournal.com]

YASSS at AOA and KARA winning something.

WINNER ;_; Monster rookies, congrats on winning. Hoon is back, but I hope he gets a lot of rest.

Aww Dara.

The San E and Raina performance is super cute. Youngjii *_*

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

Block B is considered a "hot" trend? I thought they've been popular for a while now tbh. At least I see them doing really well in charts since 2013 or so.

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

auntie heenim ... too fab for this world lol

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

Heechul over here having a fashion shoot LOL

[jeliza]

Watching the feather bounce during their performance just cracked me up.

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

(oops .... i cant fix size pic from my phone)

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

SLAY ME QUEENCHUL!.

[kaninasan.livejournal.com]

omg this is killing me lmao

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

I loved how Winner flipped things with their two stages and was glad to see Hoon feeling better but I am REALLY IRATE at whoever did Yoonie makeup...WTF?

Taehyunnie out here slaying people's lives though...looking fab kiddo

[agoongprincess.livejournal.com]

Fucking Namjoon I'm praying for that boy. I like how he did a speech for the international fans though. Taehyung was cute giving a random shoutout to his parents,

Yasss Mamamoo getting a rookie award. I was thinking it would be Akdong or Got7 based on sales but I think the Gaon people just went "fuck it" and gave it to Mamamoo.

Slaytar's awesome performance and I love how J Hope and Suga started dancing to touch my body

AoA's remix perf was also flawless. I love how cute their outfits were and how much effort they put in

Heechul, love of my life, gave life to w/e the fuck SuJu were doing. He should go solo, he's so flawless why not

Winner looked so good. Especially Mino with his golden tan and eternal prince Taehyun

Overall this was probs the best awards ceromony this year and I'm glad Exid got to live their dream of going to an award show!!

[springsky.livejournal.com]

Aw, Dara looked so cute!! My little queen.
Slay me, EXID!

[150daysoffall.livejournal.com]

Where is Dara?!

[springsky.livejournal.com]

She accepts the award on behalf of 2ne1 for Come Back Home. The vid is under the CBH link for February. :D

Edit: Oops, I meant March!

[frequency.livejournal.com]

wait, did akmu actually win something???

[iskerplunk.livejournal.com]

i know most award shows mean shit but im really sad ladies code is getting paid dust :(

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too... as if they all have already forgotten :/

[dbsk-2pm.livejournal.com]

They got mentioned. It's not much, though...
The MCs (Hyeri and Leeteuk) spoke about them after giving out the rookie awards. (http://shincoigo.com/korean-artists/leeteuk-and-hyeri-recall-ladies-codes-past-happiness-at-receiving-the-rookie-award-at-the-4th-gaon-chart-kpop-awards/)

[mad-nux.livejournal.com]

heechul is so cute with that feather

[marsinblue.livejournal.com]

Yoonie showing his rapper persona in 'Born Hater' was priceless.

Happy for AoA! And well deserved rookie award for Mamamoo!

I do find the monthly awards a bit weird. I mean. Clearly songs released in the last couple of weeks of the month are at a disadvantage. As well as songs that slay long term.

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

I am actually satisfied with the awards, sorta? My faves almost all got something. I like that they selected one song per month, and after that the song of the year. There are a few songs I don't know but otherwise, I totally agree with the selection.
Only thing: I don't really get the "artist of the year" (and it being only SM boysbands lol), is it based on physical sales?
Lol at Maroon 5 being this relevant in Korea

I love Mamma Mia's performances, the girls are so into it. Are they singing live??? If so, they're impressive!!
EXID's remix was good too. And I enjoyed Sistar, but I might be too biased lol
I want an official acoustic version of Miniskirt now ><
But the instrumental on Something wash the song off, I wasn't really enjoying, and A Pink's performance was pretty generic.
DEAD at Seungyoon acting tough on Born Hater, lol, sorry it was so cute xD
Winner... I loved how Taehyun sung his part lower on Empty; Don't Flirt is so good live! I want to see them live. (and they were so hot)

[kwonsoonyoung.livejournal.com]

exo sang moonlight *_* and yixing solo!!! ;a;

[kaninasan.livejournal.com]

Namjoon killed me when he performed What am i to you, it's possibly my favourite bangtan song. His english speech was super, duper cute too.

Winner stage was good but basic, they've performed this so many times now.

Taeil was the star of the Block B stage, he should go solo.

Ooh and this was the first time i actually heard Mamamoo (i've been meaning to check them out for ages but no time :() and damn they're good!

My favourite was the Epik High stage, mostly becaue the idea of KSY as a rapper is so ridiculous that it became awesome lmao.

[velveteenkitten.livejournal.com]

Going to watch all the performances because I want to see how many times the cameras panned on Heechul. Bless his sassy socks.

Loving EXID's Up and Down remix. Jam!!

So happy for Mamamoo winning!

[hunbin.livejournal.com]

I'm finally checking this out but ahhh my babies Winner and BTS winning things! feels super good! their perfs were also wonderful as well.... Jinwoo having improved a lot, his expressions more toned & he looked like he enjoyed the stage :')

Namjoon's What Am I To You was so powerful & Jimin's screams during Danger were surprisingly loud and stable!

Epik High and Seungyoon's unexpected appearance at Born Hater (showing off his absurdly badass side lmfao)... and everybody standing up and jamming up and singing along awww that was awesome. they know how to get the crowd going.

Taeil totally killed it... Block B is seriously underrated. They have so much talents & it's a shame not much people know about them :/

[akillarian.livejournal.com]

Happy Exid finally got their wish of attending an award ceremony. They even got to perform and won an award too.
