Winners from the 26th Golden Disk Awards (Part 1)
On January 11th, many of Korea’s top musicians and pop stars gathered at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka for the 26th Golden Disk Awards.
This year, the show was divided into two parts: the first part (held on January 11th) honors the winners of the physical album categories, while the second party (held on January 12th) will do the same for digital albums. KARA‘s Park Gyuri and Super Junior‘s Leeteuk acted as MCs for this year’s awards.
The first ‘Golden Disk Awards’ began in 1986, and since then, it’s become Korea’s most prestigious awards ceremony for music. Nicknamed the ‘Korean Grammy Awards,’ the ceremony is reputed for its fair standards, as the committee utilizes figures from album and digital music sales only.
Below are the list of winners from this year’s show!

Teen Top’s Agency Flooded with Calls from Parents
The “Crazy” group Teen Top’s agency is being flooded with calls from parents. After the group released their song “Crazy” on January 5, the agency has been getting calls from parents asking questions.
The reason for all these calls seem to be because of younger fans having to go early in the morning to watch music shows where Teen Top performs.
Parents are telling the agency, “In order to be a part of the music show, my children have to wake up early in the morning but because there is no public transportation available we have to give them a ride,” “They don’t even know the way to the broadcasting stations and they are leaving early in the morning, please delay your check time,” “I don’t know why they have to leave so early when the broadcasting is actually later in the day.”
One female fan’s mother said, “Now that Teen Top has comeback I am using my vacation days to go to a broadcasting company with my daughter on the weekend, 7am in the morning.”
