Winners of the 30th Golden Disc Awards, Day Two

It was another huge night for the K-Pop industry and fans alike on January 21 at day two of the 30th Golden Disc Awards!

The first night of the 30th Golden Disc Awards on January 20 focused on digital single awards. Album awards were given out on the second night of the ceremony on January 21, which was hosted by Super Junior’s Leeteuk, Jun Hyun Moo, and f(x)’s Krystal.

It was yet another big year for hit boy group EXO! They received the Daesang for the third year in a row, like their SM Entertainment label mates Super Junior and Girls’ Generation did before. Kim Gun Mo, Jo Sung Mo, and SG Wannabe are the only other artists to have received three Daesangs from the Golden Disc Awards.

EXO also grabbed the Global Popularity Award, as well as a Bonsang, totaling three wins for the night. While accepting the Global Popularity Award, member Baekhyun joked, “This award looks like an L! I love you, EXO-L!”

Suho promised everyone that EXO will be putting out a new album this year, and so Jun Hyun Moo asked him when we can expect it. “Somewhere between January and December!” joked Suho.
