The end of the year is near, and the Korean music industry is abuzz with news of upcoming awards shows that seek to recognize the most outstanding artists in a multitude of categories.
As a nod to these important events in the K-pop realm, allkpop has decided to initiate our first ever “allkpop Awards” this year, and we’re inviting fans from all over the world to determine the results!
That’s right – the votes will be 100% determined by international K-pop fans.
In order to ensure that the results are achieved in a fair manner, we’ve established a system in which votes can be submitted once a day per category via Twitter or Facebook.
Fans can vote as many times as they like over the course of the awards voting period, but again, only one vote per category per day will be counted.
We are aiming to make this an award that accurately represents the opinions of the international K-pop community, so check out the nominees below, and help decide K-pop’s best of 2010!
Piano rock singer Yun-ha took No.1 spot in album sales with her third regular album. According to Hanteo Chart, an online music chart site, Yun-ha’s “Part A: Peace, Love, & Ice Cream” released on April 15th has topped the daily album sales list. On the first day of its marketing, Yun-ha’s third album sold more than 5 thousand copies, a rare achievement for a female singer. She also came in first with a 14% share in the Hot Track Chart, putting a 10% gap between herself and the runner-up.
Her amazing popularity is sweeping the online music sites as well. “123,” the title song of her third album, climbed to No.1 spot on the Bugs Music chart in just three days after the release and is ranked second in the Dosirak chart.
Yun-ha’s latest album contains a wide range of music, from acoustic pop and modern rock to ballad. The title song, “123,” is a collaborated work of Swedish, Japanese, and Korean composers and features cheerful brass and percussion sounds.
