On January 19, Korea’s top artists were invited to the 21st Seoul Music Awards held at the Seoul Olympic Gymnastics Stadium. Twelve of the top K-Pop artists were given the “Bonsang” award to recognize their work and popularity over the past year. But the “Daesang” award, given to the top artist of the year, was awarded to none other than Super Junior.
Super Junior members hugged one another in tears when the award was given to them. Leeteuk, the group's leader, could not hide his emotions as he raised the trophy. He said, “Like any other celebrity, we also wanted to become flowers receiving the spotlight. But now we want to be able to get back up, even if we fall like weeds. Thank you to the world’s best fan club, E.L.F. Also, to the four members who couldn’t make it tonight, thank you. We are Super Junior!”
Siwon added, “Thank you so much. A lot of people come to mind but I’d like to thank my two grandmothers who would have loved to see this moment. I’d like to dedicate this to heaven.”
The 21st Seoul Music Awards was based on all albums released from January to December of last year. The final winners were determined by combining ARS votes (20%), Sports Seoul popularity survey (10%), Digital and album sales (40%), and judging panel points (30%).
