9 Idol Group First Wins That Made Us Cry Too

Winning a music show (Show Champion, M!Countdown, Music Bank, Music Core, Inkigayo) is one of the major hurdles for a K-pop group, so it is pretty much expected for them to get very emotional for their very first win.

For some group members, it took years of intense training for them to even debut, so any recognition can mean a lot.

Let’s take a look back at a few times when idol groups got emotional while receiving their first award. You can expect the crying to get stronger as you go further down the list.

 

Girls’ Day – “Something”

Show Champion – January 8, 2014

While this is actually a video of their second music show win, it was the first one of theirs to be aired on TV.

Female President” won on Music Core on July 7, 2013, but the show was not aired due to an airline tragedy.

Bonus: Before their first win, they came really close on a live show before, making for a really heartbreaking clip.

VIXX – “Voodoo Doll”
