hahaha yeah.

I don't have full information on Jang Gi Hwa and Faces but they're a band and they write these hilaroius songs with intersting lyrics. The guy is funny because he sings these songs with such a straight face. JGH went to Seoul National Univ. Looks like your everyday company/office salary man.
i don't mean to say that their songs are jokes though. don't take it the wrong way.

for just one night

the PDs def know what they're talking about.

and i completely agree with their thoughts here:
The PDS chose BIG BANG because of their music quality, popularity among the public, style and etc. they were the group that were most able to gain acceptance and had the most hit songs this year.

the pd's said "Nobody is a fun song and you want to sing along to it." they said this was the quality and uniqueness of the song.



ps. but why is son dambi still considered a newbie?

Looking back on the 2008 Kpop scene



What about the ‘Best Singer’, ‘Best Song’, ‘Best male and female singers’, ‘Best newcomer’ and ‘Best incident’ of 2008?

20 PDs from Korea’s 3 largest broadcasting company KBS, MBC and SBS came together to vote and here are the results.

Best singer



Big Bang has been voted by 20 over PDs from KBS, MBC and SBS as ‘This year’s best singer’.

And Big Bang has been voted ‘Best Singer’ by 14 PDs. With such strong support from the PDs, they have voted the best male singer group for 2008 in Korea.

And the reason why they have won their votes “Big Bang’s production and work, popularity and style have gotten the acceptance by many. They have also given us many hit songs this year.”

The rest of the votes went to WonderGirls (3 votes), Seo Taiji (1 vote), Lee Hyori (1 vote) amongst the others.


Best Song

Best female singer



For ‘Best female singer’ it went to Lee Hyori got most number of votes of 4 votes. Other female singers voted were Um Jung Hwa and Son DamBi with 1 votes each. Best male and female singers Rain and Lee Hyori were voted by the PDs because “viewer rate soars whenever they appear on tv”.


Best Newcomer



This category went to 5-member group SHINee.

Son DamBi also got 6 votes even though she debuted in June last year. Groups W&Whale got 3 votes and 2PM got 2 votes amongst others on the list.


Best incident

10 PDs voted the occurance of idol phenomen in 2008 as the ‘Best Incident’. Idol groups like Big Bang, WonderGirls, Dong Bang Shin Ki and SHINee has led this year’s Kpop scene strong.

The phenomen of many top stars like Seo Taiji, Lee Hyori, Rain, Kim Gun Mo and Shin Seung Hoon’s comeback in 2008 were given 6 votes by the PDs. Other than that, the incident of Rain’s ‘Rainism’ and Dong Bang Shin Ki’s ‘MIROTIC’ being ruled as unhealthy material for teenagers causing so much discussion and debate was also on the list.

* i don't get
what's the difference between
"best male and female singer" with "best male singer" and "best female singer"??..

after all, it's the PDs opinion and choices.

I thought that this year was a hard choice, considering Seo Taiji, HyoRi, Rain, TVXQ, and the others makign a great comeback.
but then again, during their absence WG & BB were topping the charts and earning more respective attentions.
CONGRATS TO ALL OF THEM!
BIGBANG CONGRATS FOR WINNING ARTIST OF THE YEAR'08!
